Chariot Carriers Inc Cougar 1 Stroller - 2009 BCS

Have a kid - or getting ready to? You need this! The price was hard to swallow for a dedicated jogger, but in hindsight - I'd have spent twice as much. We use the jogging kit and the bike kit. Set up as a jogger it rolls straight and easy, very little resistance and a ton of storage space. Need a better workout? Load up the kid and all the associated stuff: toys, snacks, diapers, drinks and hit the hills. As a bike attachment it goes on/of easy, is very stable and doesn't affect the quality of the ride at all. Easy to maneuver, just watch the edge of the sidewalk!

But more importantly - the kid loves it. She has plenty of space, plenty of pockets for stuff - and a great view (better as a jogger than behind the bike for obvious reasons). A good comfortable seat and great harness keep her safe.

Folds down relatively small, ok, it is pretty big, but if folds easily. Parts are very durable. With a sun shade, a mesh screen and a clear rain cover - you can be out in any weather.

For those of you about have your first child get ready to be stuck in the house alot. As soon as the little one is big enough get one of these. They are expensive but you will never regret a penny of it. Sturdy, smooth and safe great product. We used ours every day for 3 years, in rain, sun and snow. Then sold it to the first person who looked at it for $200! Think the Lexus of baby stollers

So, for weeks I researched the differences between the Burley and the Chariot. I had a hard time justifying the price. I bit the bullet and dropped the cash for the Cougar 1 and absolutely LOVE it. Do does my 8 month old daughter. It was simple to put together right out of the box. My 9 year old did it in 5 minutes. My daughter was curious about it when she was placed in it. She is comfortable and now she gets soo excited to be placed in it. The materials are cool, sleek, and stylish. We look pretty cute crusin' through the trails/sidewalks. Its like you're not even towing anything behind its so lightweight. It turns right along with the bike. I was pleased to hear that my husband also liked it and wasn't giving me grief about spending so much for this. All 5 of us can go on bike rides together comfortably and without any concern for her safety since there are covers for every type of weather. This past weekend I was in Chicago and rented a Burley trailer. NO comparison. The materials and construction of the Chariot far exceed the competetion. Do yourself a favor and get this trailer. Its worth it and your and your child deserve it!
