My family cannot live without our Chariot Cheetah...it goes everywhere we do...folds nicely for going the car...and is so light on the back of my bike being a beginner rider, I don’t even notice it....thank you Chariot, I recommend to everyone!

We purchased a Chariot Cougar 1 when we had our first child. After using it almost daily for a year and a half, there was no doubt we needed the Cougar 2 when our second child came along. Reliable, well-designed, comfortable, attractive... all reasons we love our Chariot!
Next to the children themselves, our Cougar 2 is the best thing we’ve gotten. It’s perfect for a long ride or run, and equally good for a short trip to the park or farmer’s market. I could imagine life without it, but it wouldn’t be nearly as much fun!
CHARIOT COUGARTM The Chariot Cougar is the best mix of features and value for active families that want to make the most of their time outdoors. With features such as Chariot Adjustable Suspension, a folding rear storage compartment and Click n’ StoreTM brackets to hold your other conversion kits, your families adventures can continue off the beaten path.

Our Chariot Carriers CX 1 is amazing. Light weight, simple to use, comfortable and safe. Just perfect for being active in the outdoors with our son throughout any weather season here in Australia.
We loved our CX 1 so much that when we got pregnant with our second child we bought a CX 2 right away and then we kept them both! We just love having the flexibility of going big or small according to where we are going and what we are doing. Amazing for running, bicycling, snowshoeing, and waking!
CHARIOT CXTM The Chariot CX is the ultimate in comfort and style. Premium fabrics, padded seat insert, drum brakes and an ergonomic handle bar will help make every trip outside a memorable one.

Our 22 month old daughter likes riding around our city inside her Chariot so much, that she claps when she sees other peoples.
I have gone through many different strollers and as a mother of 3 my only issue with Chariot Carrier’s is that I wish I had known about them before I had my first. It’s become our one and only ride for our kids!
CHARIOT CABRIOLET TM The Cabriolet is Chariot’s traditionally styled child carrier. Designed first as a bike trailer for active parents, the addition of Chariot’s CTS system means you can stroll, jog, bike and hike wherever your adventures take you.

The wife and I are definitely happy we purchased our chariot. We use it way more then we expected, whether it’s biking, jogging or just walking. My little one loves it so much and she loves to fall asleep in it. She bugs us every night for a ride in it, which is better for us because it makes us exercise more. LOL.
Best money ever spent! When I asked friends about suggestions for running strollers after child #2 came along, the Chariot came highly recommended. So glad we got it. We have also used it for strolling and biking too. We use it nearly every day! I wish I knew about how great the Chariot was with my first. Thank you Chariot for helping us stay active with our busy schedule.
CHARIOT CORSAIRE XLTM The Corsaire is our tallest carrier, which means it can accommodate kids up to about 6 years old. Traditionally styled as a bike trailer it offers exceptional storage space, Chariot Adjustable Suspension along with full CTS compatibility.

BABY SUPPORTER 6 - 18 months As your little one grows and learns to sit upright, the Baby Supporter helps by providing a little extra support. The padded sides and head rest also make it more comfortable during naps. The head support is adjustable to accommodate growing children and can also be removed for riding while wearing a helmet.
ALL-SEASON BUNTING BAG All ages This oversized, fleece-lined Bunting Bag adds warmth on your cooler day outings. One layer can be used as a seat liner or use both layers to add warmth without worrying about blankets dropping outside.
