For the latest in what’

s “new” at Chariot:

CHARIOT ACCESSORIES

From water bottles to rain covers, Chariot has the accessory to make
your ride enjoyable for both you and your kids.

1. Classic Cargo Conversion Kit – New!

Quickly and affordably turn your Classic model Chariot into a full-sized
cargo carrier. The water-resistant cover with a rear entrance for quick
access to your cargo is compatible with Caddies, Cabriolets and
Corsaires. A tough reinforced floor insert improves loading under heavy
use and supplies cargo anchoring options.

2. Hydration Kit

Comes with 2 bottles and frame mounting units. One for the ‘engine’ and
one for the passenger. No tools required.

3. Backpack Set

Stylish, durable daypacks that look just like your Chariot. One for you and a
smaller version for your child.

4. Storage Covers

A fabric cover to protect your Chariot while being stored inside or outside.
Available in two sizes for one and two child carriers.

5. Travel Bags

Protect your Chariot in these soft-case bags. Also great for storing your
folded Chariot when it’

s not in use. Includes two wheel bags to help keep

the car

rier clean.

6. All-Season Bunting Bag

This over-sized, interchangeable dual-layer bag zips up with one or two
layers for cooler weather. In warmer conditions the front panels zip off,
turning it into a comfy fleece seat liner, all-the-while allowing full use of
the 5-point seatbelts.

7. Rain Covers

Water-proof cover for days with heavy rain conditions. Chariot offers
these additional plastic rain covers for each of its models.

8. Axle-Mount ez-Hitch

The ez-HitchTMcomponents for a 2nd bike. It’s the alloy cup and long QR skewer
to quickly move your Chariot from one bike to another. Highly recommended.

9. Jogging Brake Kit

For use in jogging mode on CTS carriers, this QR brake provides additional
stopping power, controlled from the handlebar mounted lever.

10. X-Country Cargo Racks

The XC cargo rack adds ultra-convenient supplemental storage within
easy reach. Adjustable strap helps secure cargo. Available in two sizes.
Only compatible with Cheetahs and Cougars.

11. Baby Supporter

For help sitting upright, and extra comfort during naps. Adjusts for a
growing child and allows for full use of 5-point seatbelts. Head support
removes for helmet use. See FAQ, Pg. 16.

12. Infant Sling

Additional lateral suppor

t pr

ovides maximum comfort and stability for your

infant. Leaves plenty of r

oom for a second older child in two seat car

riers.
Attaches firmly to 2003 and newer Chariots with exceptions of the Caddie,
Cavalier and SideCarrier. Note: Not for cycling use. See FAQ, Pg.16.

4. JOGGING:

Our XC jogging strollers have
a long, stable wheelbase, a
low center of gravity, an
aerodynamically styled
profile, an enclosed

or

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.

See various Pregnancy, ePregnancy
and Fit Pregnancy magazines

3. SKIING:

The XC Ski Kits use quality
foam core Karhu

TM

cross­country 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’

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

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!

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

TM

, found exclusively on Chariot’s jogging

and cycling arms, and Chariot’s VersaWings

TM

.

And no tools are required!

1. CYCLING:

The Classic or X-country
series in cycling mode are
ultra-high performance bike
trailers. Look at all these

you’ll find only on Chariots’:

Chariot’s revolutionary
CTS

™

technology:

The freedom to change!
Here is how it works:

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.

www

.chariotcarriers.com

CTS Flash intr

oduction and lots of great photos:

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.

Think Focus

Chariot Carriers is one of the very few
companies worldwide that dedicates

outings into unforgettable memories.

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.

Chariot’s
BIG adventures.

Below are some true stories of endurance
and adventure involving Chariot Carriers.

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-ath­leteand 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. They liked
the idea of the CTS conversion system
so they bought their own Cabriolet with
a Hiking Kit, as this duo perfectly
matched their needs.

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!!

Darren and Nicole

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

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

We absolutely love our Chariot!
It is used everyday. It allows us to
still be extremely active with our
young child.
