Don’t trade your Jeep in for a Prius. My niece thought she could load her kayak through the hatch back into the front seat. Whoops she lost he windshield.

I would rather trade my oldest child. Which actually wouldn’t be a bad idea...
I have a Prius and I have strapped my 10’ kayak to the roof successfully. I use the foam blocks to keep it up off the roof. I run ratchet straps through the car above the doors and up and over and around the kayak. I also tie ropes from the kayak to the front and back of the car. It has to be offset to the passenger side to avoid the antenna. Works great.
