Future...
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.
cts? What is CTS, Child Transport System, is Chariot’s breakthrough concept in child transportation, and it’s all about versatility. Whether you stroll, jog, bike, hike or cross-country ski, your CTS carrier can quickly and easily convert to take your child along with you wherever you want to go. All the magic starts here. At the heart of the CTS system, is Chariot’s revolutionary VersaWingTM. This innovative component allows each of the CTS conversion kits to be quickly and easily secured.
CTS CONVERSION kits Strolling Kit (Newborn & Up) This is the perfect way to start using your Chariot. The CTS Strolling kit includes two easy turning wheels that simply attach to your carrier’s VersaWingsTM for all weather strolling. Jogging Kit (6 months & Up) If you enjoy getting out for a run, you’ll need the CTS Jogging kit. This kit includes a 16” quick release wheel with lightweight aluminum arms. Attach the jogging arms to your carrier’s VersaWingsTM and you are off and running.
Innovations Chariot 3MTM ScotchliteTM Reflective Materials Chariot incorporates up to five different types of 3MTM ScotchliteTM materials helping to ensure high visibility in nighttime use conditions. Energlo® and StrideliteTM Not only does your carrier reflect light, but with the patented Energlo® photo-luminescent fabric and StrideliteTM electroluminescent lamps (sold separately) your nighttime visibility options go way up.
Handlebars Chariots have either an ergonomic five-position handlebar (CX) or HeightRightTM Adjustable handlebar. Easily adjust these handlebars to suit your pushing style. (X-Country and Classic series) Multiple Storage Options All models offer spacious storage, such as a rear mesh pocket and a rear wallet/key/phone pocket as well as the innovative fold away rear storage compartment on the Cougar and CX.

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.
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.
