Chariot Lite 2 Stroller and Bike Trailer

We've used all four functionalities and they all behave better than I expected. The bike trailer has zero chatter and is basicallu silent. Transitions all take under a minute once you get them mastered. The rain cover is bombproof. I get questions about this rig everywhere we go. We've been pleasantly impressed by the engineering decisions.

It works for what we need. However, there have been some frustrations. We already owned the cheetah single passenger trailer, which I found more user friendly. This updated model has a rain cover that is very tight and hard to pull over. On top of that it has bungee cords that wrap around hooks, and one of the hooks came off already. The flag pole does not go in deep enough as with the previous model, and has popped out while riding. Finally taking it on and off the bike and converting to a stroller has been more challenging than with our Cheetah. The parts get stiff, and the rubber to hold the pin infront of the ball and socket is placed poorly or too tight, so that it's a pain each time to connect/disconnect. After the great experience we had with our Cheetah, I'm sorry they updated the 2 person Carrier from the Cheetah model to the Chariot Lite. Bummer.

I’ve had the 2 child Chariot Lite since 2019. I use it for biking, strolling and primarily running. The trailer is stable, light (for how big it is! and smooth. At the moment we have a 2 year old who loves having the extra space for toys and books. The 2 isn’t that much wider than the single so I recommend getting the bigger size for the versatility. Infant sling worked like a charm. My child spends a lot of time in the Chariot and he rarely asks to get out. I live in MN, and I’ve made winter running work well with blankets and using the rain cover to block the wind. For anyone wondering YES, you can fly with it easily. I recently flew domestically with Delta and they allowed us to gate check for free just like a smaller stroller. very little trouble. We could even use it to hold carry on luggage while my son walked around the airport. One recommendation I have is to get quick with breaking it down and setting it back up. You’ll be doing that under pressure when you are boarding!

Biking is our family’s favorite outdoor activity, so a bike trailer was a must when our little came into the picture. This trailer is great in concept for multiple sports and works great out of the box as a walking stroller. However, our primary active with it is of course biking. Unfortunately, the trailer has rolled multiple time with our kiddo inside as we’ve been descending and taking a turn. Mind you, we’re pulling our kid and taking an easy paced family ride, so the speeds we’re going are a slow role. But if the road or sidewalk is just a little offset to one side the trailer will try and roll with any turn. I will say the safety harnesses and cage is incredible, as no harm has come to the kid and they’ve barely ever budged I’m the harness. Perhaps the double would be more stable wheel base, but I would recommend the single.

I am a big fan of this chariot. It is well built and rolls great behind a bike, on a walk, or when running. It does a great job of keeping the weight of the children centered over the rear wheel making it very maneuverable. The only thing that I find myself missing from our old Cheeta 2 is the ability to center the straps when only pushing one rider.

So worth the money!! The kids LOVE being in it and riding around! Can't wait to use it as a stroller!

It is everything we had hoped for with a Thule purchase!
