Future...
Looking to the
Celebrating 15 years
of Progress and Innovation.
Fifteen years ago, Chariot was just six friends hand building
child trailers in a small wood working shop in Calgary,
Canada. Today we’re still in Calgary, however we are now a
team of about 200 people working in a new 65,000 square
foot high-tech facility. For making this progress possible, much of the credit needs to go to all
our employees, customers, retailers, distributors, friends and supporters - thank you!
Needless to say, the past 15 years has been a great and fun ride, one packed with unlimited
excitement and challenge. And while our products have evolved, and the business has grown,
Chariot continues to be as dedicated as ever to designing and building the finest child carrier
products in the world - today, and well into the future. Enjoy!
15th Anniversary Special Edition
- the CSL (Chariot Super Light)
To mark our 15th anniversary Chariot has introduced
a new Special Edition X-Country carrier, the CSL. As a
tie-in to the past, this innovative and lightweight carrier
shares a few key characteristics with our first-ever
model, the Cabriolet. For example, they both use
Chariot’s patented folding design, they both convert
from a trailer to a jogging stroller (however the CSL has
3 other available conversions), and they are both green!
These past similarities aside, the CSL is all about the
future. By incorporating high-tech materials such as
ODL04TM racing sailcloth and Energlo® photo-luminescent
(glow-in-the-dark) fabric, and with components such
as 20” racing wheels and a wireless speedometer, the
CSL is definitely forward thinking! To learn more about
the innovative CSL, visit page 21.
Original 1993 Cabriolet
Go Green!
Peter and Andrea Tombrowski have been living car-free in Calgary, Alberta, Canada since 1998.
Their book, Urban Camping: A Testament to Living Without a Vehicle, describes their rewarding
and inspirational life. The Tombrowski’s have two young children, Lucas (8) and Natalia (6).
Indispensable for their many trips throughout the city are their single and double Chariot carriers.
As their children get older and become more capable of walking long distances, the carriers
get used more frequently for cargo (eg: groceries).
The Tombrowski family embraces their car-free choice for environmental reasons and because
it allows them to live a more purposeful, healthy life. They strive to be positive, working with
what they have. With their Chariot carriers, the Tombrowski’s provide an excellent example of
how it is possible to reduce one’s vehicle-dependency in a large city.

Safety in Action.
When you purchase a Chariot Carrier, you’re
buying an engineered product that has undergone years of internal and real-world testing.
By integrating product design and testing all
under one roof, Chariot is able to raise the bar
in product safety and quality.
Not only does Chariot comply with applicable
safety standards, but all of our products must
also pass our own much higher internal standards. Independent international test results
with Chariot products have verified our quality.
All Chariot trailers meet or exceed
ASTM Standard F1975-02
LOVE IT!! What more can I say!
Denise (Cougar 2 owner)
I really like the trailer. I don’t
drive so I use it as my car.
Everything fits perfectly in
it and the kids are always
comfortable. In the winter they
are very cozy inside it.
Isabel (Cougar 2 owner)
Great product!! Our daughter
really enjoys it (just like her
father ;-)
Martien (Cougar 2 owner)
We’ve been extremely happy
with the Chariot thus far. We
take it everywhere... and many
people have stopped to ask us
where/how to purchase one.
Shauna (CX 1 owner)
I like the aluminum frame
(lighter weight) and the gears
(good for hills). I’ve already
taken my two oldest kids
(5 and 6) on several rides and
we love it!
Thomas (Catch’em owner)
We recently purchased the
double stroller after enjoying
the single for about a year and
a half. We LOVE this product
and it helps us to keep our
active lifestyle going.

Catriona Le May Doan
“I absolutely love my new Chariot CX. I use it every day, regardless of the weather.
It gets me outside running or walking, and is perfect to transport my daughter
Greta, and new son, Easton. I use it to do errands, and with the large storage
compartments, I even use it to get groceries. I get exercise, the kids get fresh air,
and we are also being good to the environment!”
Catriona Le May Doan. Two-time Olympic Gold Medallist
Along with my child carrier
backpack, the CX2 was by far
one of the best investments
that I have ever made. My son
loves it, and asks for his “car”
on a daily basis. Whether it is
a bike ride to a park, or a trip
to the zoo, this is the most
durable and reliable child
carrier I have ever seen.
Joseph (CX 2 owner)
The most wonderful product
on the market. With having
a taller 4 year old and a new
baby this was the only stroller
on the market that would
accommodate both children. I
got my life back by being able
to enjoy the outdoors and stay
in shape with my children.
Thanks for making such a
wonderful product!
Carmen (Cougar 2 owner)
I recently purchased a Chariot
Caddie bike trailer and my 20month old daughter and I really
enjoy it. The ease of use and
the quality are very apparent.
Thank you for making such a
quality product!
John (Caddie owner)
We love our Chariot and use
it almost daily in the springsummer-fall, and 2-3 times a
week in the winter. Our best
baby purchase ever.

BICYCLE
SideCarrier
The patented SideCarrier has to be the coolest way to see the
world with your child, as they ride right beside you. It allows for
interaction and a watchful eye as you head down the pathways
together, while your child has an unobstructed view of the road.
The pivoting SideCarrier hitch keeps the carrier level,
allowing the bicycle a full range of movement while
protecting your child with the enclosed frame.
Features
• U
ltra-stable with extra-low center of gravity
• SideCarrier hitch installs in minutes on
most standard bikes, then the SC goes on/off
in seconds

child is on the safer side of bike paths, away
from other oncoming users
• The SC stays upright at all time times, letting
the bike lean gracefully into turns
• The axles of the bike and SC align, so the
SC’s wheel doesn’t scrub or skid when
turning, even when stopped
• 6063-T54 and 6351-T6 lightweight aluminum
frame, stiff oversized 1.5” lower frame
protects child, wheel & underside of SC
• A bike and SC are the same width as a
traditional two-child trailer, yet much shorter
• The SC can be folded and pivoted up to the
bike when parked in a narrow space
• Enclosed single child cockpit
• Quick-folding design
• Rear storage bag and large mesh pocket
• Deluxe padded shoulder harness
• Mesh upper seat
• Tinted side windows

Frequently
Asked
Questions
Q. Where are Chariot Carriers made?
A. All of our carriers are hand crafted in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
Q. How old does my baby have to be before I can use my Chariot?
A. You can start using your Chariot for strolling with a newborn provided you have
the Baby Bivy installed, or about 1 month old using the Infant Sling. Running with
your child will depend on their own development and the terrain, however we recommend they are at least 6 months old. For cycling your child should be about 1
year old and able to wear a properly fitted helmet.

Q. What is Chariot’s helmet policy?
A. Your child should be wearing a properly fitted and approved bicycle helmet
at all times while cycling with your carrier. We recommend that they also wear a
helmet while you are doing any other fast paced activities with your Chariot.
Q. Can I get replacement parts for my Chariot?
A. Yes. It is best to first inquire about your required parts through your local
Chariot retailer. We believe it is important to stand behind our products, that’s
why all Chariot products are covered by Chariot’s Limited Lifetime Warranty.
