Chariot Sport 2-Seat Cycle Trailer/Stroller

I’ve had the chariot sport for over a month now and I love it. I have a 5mo old and 2yr old. We live in Hawaii so anytime we are outside, we are engulfed in mosquitos. The chariot protects them from mosquitos, has ample room for snacks and stretching, allows for max air circulation with removal side windows, has excellent storage capacity and most of all easy to maneuver. We love it and use the jogging kit and organizer tray regularly with it. Once you get used to maneuvering turns with the jogging kit, it’s not a problem at all. Very happy with purchase and look forward to using it for years to come.

I only have put on about 30km running with the Chariot with my son, and also have gone a few bike rides. I really like that this is truely a multi-sport Stroller, and can really do anything. I have ran on road, hard pack gravel, up and down hills, and tried a few faster tempo segments to see how it rolls. Very impressed, and yes you get what you pay for with the solid design, large set wheels, disc brakes, and low center of gravity. Our son really likes it and the seating is soft and secure.

As a running stroller, it is a very lightweight push and runs quite smoothy, even over bumps and difficult terrain. It responds very well to adjustments while on the move but also stays steady - I run with a dog alongside the stroller and it does a good job of not swaying as the pup pulls from time to time in the wrong direction but responds well to my grip on curvy terrain. My son sits very comfortably in the seat and there is a good amount of storage without being too bulky. The handbrake is amazing (and essential!) and there is a wrist wrap which is also useful. It's really quite easy to switch between the different settings (walking/running/bike chariot) and convenient that you can keep the different parts in storage on the chariot for bigger excursions. It was pennies more to have a double vs a single which was great for plans of our growing family (while on sale). Comes with a very handy rain guard for wet or windy outings. It is incredibly sleek looking, appearance wise, and easy to clean. Some considerations/disappointments/issues: - how the running wheel does not come as part of the stroller is beyond me and extremely frustrating given the price point of the stroller (and the running kit!) - it advertises itself as the ultimate trailer, jogger, and stroller but it's only the ultimate jogger if you pay another $200. - it's not as portable and a bit heavier folded than I expected - I've opted to keep it in our garage fully ready for runs rather than collapse it to save space as I originally planned - this issue along with the lack of running wheel are my two biggest issues with this chariot - the wrist wrap is limited to one side which is not a big deal but i use it less which limits its effectiveness and utility - this may not matter to all, but I was pretty disappointed to see the unit was made in China. Thule roof racks are manufactured in Europe and I purchased this unit under the false expectation that it would also be manufactured there however it seems they outsource this product and the running kit...

Overall happy with this stroller. As a background to my review, I live in a climate with extreme cold and heat, have a 2.5 year old and 6month old. I have used this on trails, but most of my use is everyday (walking to daycare, grocery store, walking dogs with the kids etc). Pros of the stroller- well built, comfy for the kids, easy to pack in blankets and stroller bags to keep kids warm, the storage capacity is good for basic grocery runs, the jogging wheel handles all terrain well. I also think the handbrake is really nice when going down hills with a loaded stroller. Cons- it’s a beast. I don’t have a garage so lugging this thing in and out of the house is annoying, but overall still worth it because of all the other pros. If you take transit lots, this is probably too big. It’s also pricey, so just weigh your pros and cons, and consider buying used if you have a chance because these hold up well and are easy to find replacement parts. The mesh back is great in the summer, but in the winter it’s too cold and I think I’d rather just have a solid piece of fabric. All the attachments work well. The XC ski attachment works, but it’s a beast to pull and the stroller angle sits more upright so I find the kids heads bob forward a bit vigorously. We also have an old XC baby glider from a friend and it honestly pulls way nicer, so if you’re a hardcore skiier check that product out.
