2013 Chariot Line-up

Posted in Commentary, Gear

New this year: Chinook

2013 Chariot Chinook 1There are several models of the Chariot and it can be a bit overwhelming trying to decide what is the best fit for you. Not to mention that this year, things have changed a little. Most models now come with one of the conversion kits where in the past, you had to purchase these separately. This makes a lot more sense because on its own, the trailer with only two rear wheels can only be so helpful! Chariot has also added a new model to the line-up this year, the Chinook. This model is the only one that reclines and works with a carseat adaptor, essentially replicating a stroller, in addition to its multiuse functionality.

Here we have broken down the key models for your comparison to hopefully make your choice easier!

Cheetah – SPORT  Cougar – SPORT CX – SPORT Corsaire – TOURING Chinook – URBAN
Weight: 19.4 lbs Weight: 24 lbs Weight: 29.7 lbs Weight: 27.4 lbs Weight: 36 lbs
MSRP: $499.99 MSRP: $649.99 MSRP: $949.99 MSRP: $699.99 MSRP: $949.99
Kits Included: Strolling ($75 value) Kits Included: Strolling ($75 value) Kits Included: Jogging ($100 value) Kits Included: Cycling ($75 value) This is the only model with the pivoting/locking front wheel eliminating the need for the strolling and jogging kit.
Summary: This is the lightest and most basic model. With that, you sacrifice some of the basic essentials such as suspension, reflective material, window venting and click n' store. Summary: This is a great all-around Chariot with all the essentials but not the bells and whistles such as the hand brake, seat recline and full window venting. Summary: If you are a runner and are worried about running down hills, this is a good option because it includes the hand brake, otherwise, the Cougar should do. Summary: This model has an enlarged cockpit for added comfort if you are doing long trips. With the bigger size and without the click n' store functionality, it is not as portable. Summary: The Chinook is a great option if you are looking for key stroller functionality such as seat recline and car seat adaptation. The trade-off is extra weight. The infant car seat adaptor accessory is specific to this model.
