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

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.

2008 specifications

Chariot Carriers has made a significant mark in the world of child transportation since its inception, and the 2008 model year represented a notable step forward in quality and innovation. This year saw the introduction of some key features that made Chariot Carriers a preferred choice for active families seeking a reliable means to transport their children while enjoying outdoor activities.

One of the standout characteristics of the 2008 models was their versatility. Chariot Carriers offered a multi-sport design, allowing users to easily convert their carriers from a jogging stroller to a bike trailer, or even a walking stroller. This adaptability appealed to parents who enjoyed various outdoor pursuits and wanted a single solution for multiple activities.

In terms of safety, the 2008 Chariot Carriers prioritized child protection with features like a five-point harness system and an adjustable internal shoulder harness that grew with the child. The durable frame provided stability while ensuring that the carriers remained lightweight and easy to transport. Additionally, the carrier featured a unique burly weather shield that protected against wind and rain, making it suitable for year-round use.

Comfort was another key focus for the 2008 models. The spacious cabin allowed for plenty of room for children and included padded seating for added comfort on long rides. The adjustable handlebars catered to users of various heights, ensuring an ergonomic grip across all activities.

Technologically, the 2008 Chariot Carriers incorporated an improved wheel system, which featured larger, air-filled tires that offered enhanced traction and smooth handling over a variety of terrains. This innovation contributed to a more enjoyable ride for both children and parents. The easy folding mechanism made the carrier convenient for storage or transport, which was crucial for families on the go.

Another innovative aspect was the user-friendly interface, which included quick-release wheels and a simple hitch system for attaching the carrier to bicycles. This focused on making the transition from walking or running to biking smooth and hassle-free.

Overall, the 2008 Chariot Carriers exemplified the brand’s commitment to quality, safety, and user convenience. With its blend of versatility, comfort, and cutting-edge technology, it catered to the needs of active families, solidifying its reputation in the child transport market for years to come.
