The leader in Quality and Innovation
Some of Chariot’s industry leading innovations:
1. Energlo

TM
Stay visible with your Chariot when the sun goes down. Exclusive to Chariot, Energlo®
photo-luminescent fabric builds a charge when exposed to light and provides a
glow-in-dark-effect to your carrier after dark. 3M™ Scotchlite™ reflective materials
incorporated throughout our carriers and the StrideliteTM accessory, which emits a blue
strobe light that can been seen from up to a 1/2 mile away, all help ensure you don’t
go unnoticed when darkness falls.
2. Chariot Adjustable Suspension

As the heart of the CTS system, the VersaWingTM safely mounts all of the CTS
conversion kits, as well as the brake and side fender kits. With ezClickTM, attaching
and removing kits is a simple as the push of a button.
4. Handlebars
Chariots have either an ergonomic five-position handlebar (CXTM) or HeightRightTM
adjustable handlebar. Just reverse these handlebars to suit your pushing style.
5. Multiple Cargo Storage Options
All of our models offer spacious cargo storage, such as a rear mesh pocket and a
rear wallet/key/phone pocket, as well as the innovative foldaway rear storage
compartment. (CougarTM and CXTM)

industry. This design also ensures that when your carrier is open and in use, it is
locked safely in position.
9. Runner’s Kick Stride and Aero Styled Profile
The X-Country Series is a multisport design. They have a low centre of gravity, a raked
back design and lots of room for a runner’s kick stride.

Your family’s safety is your top priority - and ours. That is
why Chariot takes such care in the design and materials
used in our products, and why we back everything we
make with our Limited Lifetime Warranty.
When you purchase a Chariot carrier,
you’re buying a North American made

At Chariot, we know that you are carr ying the world’s
most precious cargo in your carrier. That’s why we
ensure that the materials we use are t he best quality
and the safest for you and your childr en. Whether it’s
the lightweight 6063-T6 anodized alumi num material
used in our frames or our sewn fabrics that meet the
rigorous European Oeko-Tex 100 standard for chemical
composition, we ensure that ever y detail of our carriers
is carefully considered. For example, our premium
poly-urethane backed fabrics and state-of-the-art polyurethane windows provide superior wear and puncture
resistance, much improved all-weather reliability, and
are free from any harmful chemicals.

ONE CHARIOT
Life Simplified
Think about doing your everyday tasks without a vehicle. Whether you’re
shopping for groceries or taking the kids to daycare, the ample storage
space, durable high quality construction and versatility of Chariot CTS
means spending money on gas can be a thing of the past. (Peter and
Andrea Tombrowski have been living car free since 1998. check out
their book, Urban Camping: A Testament to Living Without a Vehicle.)
I am a first time mom, and therefore a first time Chariot buyer. I am very, very pleased with the product
so far, and cannot wait to get out more with my daughter. Though I originally planned to have this stroller
as an outdoor activity stroller, I am now reconsidering using it for shopping as well due to how easy it is to
manouver, and how smooth of a ride it is for my daughter.
Jennifer C.
I love your product!
Our Cougar has become
our new vehicle.
Amy H.
LOVE my Chariot and I am continuously
recomending it to others.
Brandy E.
Our last child carrier was a cheap tank from a toy store that wouldn’t
fold well enough to fit in the back of the van. This product is not only
versatile, lightweight, and safe, but folds and stores very well. We’re
taking it on an airliner for vacation instead of a conventional stroller.
Pam W.
CHARIOT OWNER’S COMMENTS:
Use our patented ezFoldTM to quickly have your carrier folded
and ready for trans port. Plus the lightweight al uminum frame
makes it easy to li ft into the trunk of your car. With Cha riot CTS
you don’t need a gara ge full of multiple, activity-s pecific child
carriers. Your one Chariot ch assis and conversion kits stow
easily out of the way.
With Chariot’s enclosed child cockpit and various
climate control features, you don’t have to let the
weather slow you down. Zip-off windows, side air vents,
UV blocking tinted windows and sunshades keep your
kids comfortable in the sun. Large 20-inch rear tires
and 16-inch jogging wheel make rolling through sand,
mud and snow a breeze, and the 2-in-1 weather cover
completely covers the child cockpit, making a cozy
compartment even in rainy or cool conditions.
Not only does the fully enclosed child cockpit provide a
safe haven for those who have fallen asleep, but it also
helps to keep the curious travelers from tossing objects
out when you’re not looking.
Chariot makes it simple for you to focus on the
important things like spending time with your kids.

ONE CHARIOT
Epic Adventures
Whether you are taking your Chariot around the block or around the continent,
you travel knowing that you can rely on your equipment. With ample storage
space and high quality, reliable construction, Chariot Carriers have always been
the choice of long distance travelers.
Jesper Olsen is an ultra distance runner from Denmark who ran around the world in 22 months. “During the
world run one, January 1, 2004 to October 23, 2005, I had the pleasure of using the Chariot Cougar 1 as
one of the main parts of my equipment for the record breaking run of 26,232 kilometers around the world. It
proved to be one of the most durable pieces of my equipment and with ease held through the Scandinavian
winter of -20°C all the way to the burning heat of +50°C during the run across the Australian Nullabor Desert.
Whether it’s for a ‘run around the block’ or across continents I can truly say that it’s the best running stroller
available on the market today!”
Congratulations to Jen Jolliff of Anchorage AK. Their photo was chosen
as the Photo of the Year from Chariot’s “Take it Outside” photo contest.
“The Chariot lets me to do what I love to do, cross-country skiing, and
now I can still ski with my entire family. This is an essential tool for
any parent who wants to stay active, enjoy the outdoors and to go on
adventures with their children. Now that I have a family, I don’t need
a minivan - I just need my Chariot and my legs, heart and lungs!”

I have had my carrier now for 3 years. The only downside
is that I do not get out and use it more often. I just love it
and so does my son. What a great thing to do together as a
family, outdoors in the rain or shine... I love our Chariot

Love my Chariot. My children
would outgrow it before it becomes
unuseable. Great resale value on it
too. It’s a great investment.

Accessories
Child comfort:
1. Baby Bivy
(Newborn plus, 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.
2. Infant Sling
(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.
3. Baby Supporter
(3 - 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. New for 2009, the Baby Supporter is
redesigned with improved head and body support.
4. All Season Bunting Bag
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.
Added practicality:
5. Stridelite

6. Hydration Kit
This kit comes with two water bottle holders and frame clips. The parent’s larger bottle clips
to your carrier’s handlebar, while the child’s smaller bottle clips onto the interior frame.
7. Jogging Brake 1.0
For use in jogging mode on CTS carriers with either VersaWingTM 1.0 or 2.0. This quick
release caliper adds stopping power using a handlebar-mounted brake lever. This kit fits
either one or two child carriers and easily removes without tools for converting to other kits.
8. Jogging Brake 2.0

away from your carrier. The quick release brackets make adjustments quick and easy.
10. Classic Cargo Conversion

reinforced floor insert with anchor points, and a water resistant cover.
Additional storage:
11. X-Country Cargo Rack
The X-Country Cargo Rack is designed to be easily installed or removed.
Attached to your carrier’s upper frame, the Cargo Rack gives you easily
accessible storage space for up to 2.3 kg/5 lbs of gear. Available for one
or two child carriers. New for 2009, the X-Country Cargo Rack now has
Energlo® fabric for added nighttime visibility.
12. Handlebar Bag

used as a diaper bag or a child’s backpack. The bag features an external water
bottle pocket and a sleeve for a one-litre hydration bladder. (Bladder not included)
Protection for your Chariot:

conditions. They can be used in place of, or in addition to your current weather
cover. Available for one or two child carriers.

for storage. These oversized bags include two wheel bags to help keep your
carrier clean. Available for one or two child carriers.
