CONNECTING FAMILIES

CONNECTING FAMILIES

Chariot Carriers are inspiring families around the world! Here’s what a few enthusiastic members of the Chariot community recently shared about their experiences with our carrier collection…

MARIE DE GOUMOENS

LEANNA MARTIN SCOTT

Before having kids our friends told us “Your life will change, no sports anymore” and with our Chariot our life changed... now we are doing sport as a familly!

Loaded up with my 4 year old and 18 month old sons, the back basket full of groceries, and I can still push it one-handed while the other hand holds the coffee..now that’s a useful stroller!!!

ERIN CHARD

SUELYNN POWELL

NICOLE HOLLMAN

The Chariot is one of the best purchases we’ve made, as far as kid-related stuff goes. We have a Cougar 1 and it has actually motivated me to get out and walk and lose some of those extra pounds from being pregnant! I can’t say enough good about Chariot- even their customer service is top notch. We recommended their products to all of our parent friends!

We have the Cougar 2, that was by far the best purchase we have made. My only regret is not buying it sooner. Having a two year old and a newborn, we are always doing an acitivity. The Chariot allowed me to be able to start moving faster, you can push it with one finger, it keeps bugs away from the children, tons of room, great storage, and so durable.

It will last us for a very long time.

We just got a chariot CX2 and we love it. My two boys ride in it together and it is still easy to push and smooth. We live in the country and so it is awesome for rough terrain and to keep the bugs away from them. Any weather we can go outside in comfort!

BICYCLE SIDECARRIERTM

SIDECARRIERTM FEATURES:

Children enjoy the thrill of riding next to Mom or Dad and seeing the open road ahead with our patented SideCarrierTM, while parents appreciate added interaction while in motion. The SideCarrier’s unique pivoting hitch keeps it level, while maintaining a full range of movement.

• Extra-low centre of gravity for extra stability • Right side mount to keep your child on the safe side of the pathway • Unique hitch design to keep the SideCarrierTM upright while allowing the bike to lean naturally

• Easily removed and foldable • Narrow width, which makes the bike and SideCarrierTM combined as wide as a traditional double trailer, yet much shorter.

BABY BIVY

INFANT SLING

BABY SUPPORTER

ALL-SEASON BUNTING BAG

Newborn, Recommended for strolling only The Baby Bivy is designed to make it easy to get strolling with your new baby weighing 6 to 18 lbs. It easily attaches to your carrier’s frame and seat belt. This soft padded accessory features handles that make moving your baby in and out simple without disturbing his or her sleep.

1 - 10 months, not for use while cycling While your child is still building his or her strength, this padded sling gives your baby lateral support while providing maximum comfort and stability. The hammock-like design helps provide a smooth ride and it makes it possible for the baby to be reclined while still being able to look around and see the world outside.

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 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. The outer layer is made of wind-resistant micro-fiber, and the foot area is made of vinyl for easy cleaning.
