Chariot’s revolutionary

™

CTS

technology:

The freedom to change! Here is how it works:

CTS: CHILD TRANSPORT SYSTEM

First, choose a X-Country CTS Ready Chassis and at least 2 kits or a Classic CTS Bicycle Trailer and one more kit. Swapping is ultra-simple and fast with

ezClick

, found exclusively on Chariot’s jogging

and cycling arms, and Chariot’s VersaWings

And no tools are required!

Uncommon sense

Whether you are a fitness family aiming to do 3+ activities a day, a family aspiring to use humanpowered transportation, or if you simply don’t want the storage hassles of multiple carriers, Chariot CTS is the only way to go.

CTS Snapshot

You can do two or more activities while your child naps! For example, imagine trying to move a sleeping child from a jogger to bike trailer to go shopping after your morning run. Once at the store, click to separate your Chariot and bike, then flip the stroller wheels down and roll right in. Try that with three separate carriers!

Q: Chariot’s CTS products are obviously great value

given one carrier can do so much, but are CTS products as high performance as dedicated products?

A: Yes! Chariot products are designed to perform as

well or better than single-use carriers.

See detailed explanation, upper right.

1. CYCLING:

The Classic or X-country series in cycling mode are ultra-high performance bike trailers. Look at all these cycling enhancing features you’ll find only on Chariots’: innovative CAS or CPS suspension systems, patented axle-mount ezHitch

ezFold

systems reinforced seats, padded deluxe shoulder harnesses and ultra quick release 20” wheels.

See Bicycling 08/02, MountainBike Action 06/03

2. HIKING:

Chariot’s hiking kits have no other products to compare to. How else can you enjoy long flat hikes while the kids bring along toys, sleep comfortably and bring along a huge, gourmet picnic? Plus, as an added benefit, much of your child’s weight is taken off your shoulders.

See Chariot Tales Pg. 18

3. SKIING:

The XC Ski Kits use quality foam core Karhu country skis, for your easy gliding over tracked or ungroomed trails, while your child is in the best climate protection available. Three position telescoping dual towbars ensure control and stability. Plus the skis and towbars quickly remove for easy packing.

See XCskiworld.com click ‘child ski sleds’

cross-

4. JOGGING:

Our XC jogging strollers have a long, stable wheelbase, a low center of gravity, an aerodynamically styled profile, an enclosed open child compartment, 20-inch rear wheels, a great kick-n-stride space, reversible height handlebars, and an optimal weight distribution. These are all details that experienced and casual runners appreciate.

See Runner’s World 08/03

5. STROLLING:

Combining Chariot’s large windows and protected child spaces, children have the option of watching the world go by or having an on-the-go mobile toy/play room. All with roughly the same footprint as typical strollers. And large wheels make life much easier over curbs, in playgrounds and rough urban sidewalks or paths.

SAFETY AND TESTING

When you purchase a Chariot Carrier, you’re buying a product that has undergone years of internal and field testing – and retesting. Just some of the tests conducted on each Chariot model are: crash tests with the floor, hitch durability, roll-overs, and longterm durability on a very rough simulated road (see above).

In addition to complying with applicable safety standards, Chariot products must pass our own significantly more stringent internal standards. By integrating product design, testing and production under one roof, Chariot raises the bar in product safety and excellence. And, independent international test results with Chariot products have further verified this quality.

All Chariot trailers meet or exceed

ASTM

American Society for Testing and Materials

ASTM Standard F1975-02

Q: At what age may I take my child in a Chariot?

A: From about 1 month old, with the help of the optional Chariot Infant Sling or, from

about 3 months old with the optional Chariot Baby Supporter, both starting with walking, and running can come later – depending on terrain, child development and your doctor’s advice. You may use your Chariot from about 1 year, for cycling – with a properly fitted helmet, available at your bike store.

Q: Until what age or weight of my child can I use a Chariot?

A: Until about 4 years old, or as long as their head or helmet does not pass the upper

frame, and as long as the weight limits of the Chariot are not exceeded: 75 lbs (or 100 lbs) for 1 (or 2) child Chariots. In sum, much longer than a regular stroller.

Q: What is Chariot’s helmet policy?

A: Chariot insists on helmet use while trailering, which starts at about 1 year of age.

Helmets are not needed, but recommended, while doing non-cycling activities, assuming the child is old enough to wear a properly fitted helmet, which comes at about 1 year of age. For example, newborns in the Infant Sling while walking do not require helmets.

Q: Will I be able to get replacement parts for my Chariot in the future?

A: Yes. As your Chariot will likely outlast your family, you can pass it on and they’ll be

able to get parts and service. As the limited lifetime warranty is to the original owner, we pride ourselves in stocking most conversion kits, parts, and even whole fabric bodies and weather cover for all Chariot models made since 1993. Just inquire about, and order these through your local Chariot retailer.

Q: Why is the CTS Ready Chassis concept only on the X-Country Series?

A: This is because the XC Series is a multi-use design that has 1 and 2 child versions.

In sum, runners may run, strollers can stroll, and cyclists may ride, etc, by only purchasing kits and seating capacity for their exact needs. Please note the new Special Edition Cougar SX includes 3 Conversion kits and only seats one, and the Classic Bicycle Trailers include the CTS Cycling Kit and all seat two children.

Q: Why are there so many Chariot models?

A: Firstly, child transportation is our company focus. Then, as parents ourselves, we fully

understand the evolving and specific needs of different families. As managers of household budgets, we know that every purchase needs to be carefully evaluated, hence our standard and deluxe models. From our experience, only a variety of carriers, conversion kits and accessories can meet the demands of today’s active families.

True stories and real life adventures involving Chariot Carriers. One with a child and three with cargo only.

When we came across the Chariot we knew it was the "ONE". We were absolutely amazed at all the little features. It was well worth the money to have such a versatile trailer. Our friends are so jealous of our awesome carrier.

Renee and Sam

One of the best purchases we ever made! We use it all the time.

Eric and Willene

Thank you for building such an awesome stroller, jogger, bike trailer, hiker and (XC ski) sleigh. It makes sense to have your kids warm while they enjoy the outdoors at the same time!!

We were very impressed with the quality of materials used, as well as the engineering. Lots of thought put into the little details.

Taming The Outback.

In 1999 David Adie ran across the vast, hot Australian outback with a Cabriolet and a Jogging Kit carrying over 45 kgs (100 lbs) including litres and litres of precious water. On his 5,200 km (3,200 mile) journey, he jogged about 50-60 km a day and took four months from his work as an educator. Other prior trips he has run with a Chariot: SouthEast Asia, The United Kingdom, running the long way from sea–to-sea and a few thousands kilometers jogging the length of the Japanese Islands.

Quality father and daughter time.

Sandy Boyd, a 36-year-old former tri-athlete and stay-at-home Dad, has completed 4 full marathons with his daughter Sonje, 3.5 years old. When racing, Sonje likes taking in the energy, reading, and playing with her many toys. Their best race time was an amazing 3h45! Sandy and Sonje have bonded with their Chariot through more than 5000 km (3100 miles), as they simply love their time together. And Sonje will soon have a little Chariot partner!

Stepping Up For The Children.

Starting in the summer of 2000, Jean Béliveau left Montreal, Canada heading south. His ten-year goal is to walk around the planet to promote "Peace and nonviolence to the profit of the children of the world". Jean is still walking and plans to completely circumnavigate the world by foot, returning with 83,000 km (50,000 miles) on his ped-o-meter. Chariot is supporting his endeavor with a Cheetah 1 in jogging mode. Jean has finished North and South America, and at presstime, is in South Africa heading north.

Who Needs A Rail Pass?

In 2000 a Dutch couple walked 84 days with their Cabriolet and Hiker Kit for 1,745 km (>1,000 miles) from The Netherlands to Rome, and then 724 km (450 miles) from San Sebastien to Santiago de Compostella, Spain. They carried a load of 30 kgs (66 lbs). As regular walkers of long pilgrimage trails, this weight was previously in backpacks, until they met a family traveling with a Chariot bike trailer.
