Reviews for Chariot Cougar 1 bike trailer

We own the Cougar1 2005 +Strolling +Jogging +Cycling kits + rain Cover & Baby Supporter. first thing to do was to replace the original tires (20X1.75) with fatter & more durable tires (20X1.95+), and then we can go anywhere. We use the jogging kit for hiking in all terrains from the age of 4mth (with baby supporter), when she reached the age of 1 year, weâ??ve started using the cycling kit which works perfectly both on and off road. Weâ??re always â??disappointedâ?? when she falls asleep as soon as we start paddling no matter the terrain, the view or the weather. The strolling kit is very convenient for urban strolling, we use it quite a lot when going abroad. The carrier versatility is its most dominant value, though its details and accessories should be upgraded and updated: the breaking system is very poorly planed placed in the center below the storage compartment, very hard to reach by foot when its fully stored, and when uphill (when itâ??s most needed). Moreover the breaking system is problematic by itself and demand a lot of practice and effort in order to run it properly. The storage compartment â??gotâ?? bigger in the 2006 model, the 2005 model is quite small and not very convenient, specially when the net-basket above it is full. When using the carrier while its raining, even when using the rain cover, you should expect the babyâ??s feet to get wet, for the carrier is licking from the front bottom seam.

But yet again the overall review is very positive, searching for a while in the net for a baby trailer with suspension, this is the best you can find. Its versatility allows it to function quite well as a stroller, and with no competition off road behind the bike or in front of you. Go for it..

I purchased a Chariot Cougar about a year ago at it's been by far the best kid related purchase I've made. I started jogging with my daughter when she was only a few weeks old (with infant sling accessory), then I moved on to biking with the bike attachement. Last winter I also purchased the xc ski attachement and skiied with her. I've been biking and jogging all summer. Awesome product! Better than the dedicated cycling trailers I've tried.

I purchased Chariot Couger 1 with the jogging assembly and the bicycle attachment. It has exceeded all my expectation. The jogger runs straight and true without effort. The suspension makes for a very smooth ride. The "off road" capabilities (dirt or gravel roads, fields/wide trails, even at the beach) gives us a lot of freedom. The bike assembly is east to attach and secure. The plastic panel on the mesh cover can blow free on a windy day. A little more velcro midway up the panel on either side would help a lot.

We bought our Cougar nearly a year ago for our then 11 month old daughter. She likes to ride in it, often choosing it over her other stroller for walks in the neighborhood. I like that it disaasembles easily and compactly enough to fit in our Civic with room for a couple of bags. I also like that it is not heavy - an asset for biking and for loading!

We have the bike and the jogging attachments. I wish we'd gotten the regular stroller wheels too, because the jogger is a little unweidly for the store or market since, like all joggers, the front wheel doesn't corner. My only complaint stems from biking to a place and then switching to the stroller. While there is easy-to-use onboard storage for the wheels, it's trickier to fit the supports onboard if you are carrying much else in the storage area. However, this is a small glitch in an otherwise terrific setup. I would definitely recommend the Cougar.

I have been very pleased with the performance of the Chariot. I often take my 20 month old son on rides and runs since I am often the only babysitter while my wife is at work (I work nights) It is easy to change between the jogger and bicycle attatchment, the wheels and shocks provide a smooth ride, and the 4 point restraints secure my son well in his seat. He often brings a few toys and passes out for a nap while I workout. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a multipurpose jogger/bike trailer.

After consulting several different reviews of different brands, we opted for the cougar 1 (2005 model - bought 2005 because was on clearance). We love this stroller and its many features. I also love that it easily converts to a bicycle trailer. It has ample storage capacity and we feel our daughter is very safe inside. As for jogging, it is so sturdy but lightweight that you hardly notice pushing it. We are altogether very pleased with our purchase and feel that the Cougar has lived up to our high expectations.

this is a great bike trailer. very comfy, safe and rugged. we also use it for running and x-country skiing- extremely versatile.

Overall I am extremely happy with the Chariot Couger 1. We bought the jogger assembly and the bicycle attachment. The one thing I would change is the velcro strip fastening which holds the clear panel to the bottom of the mesh cover. It can blow loose in a windy situation. I would like to see some additional velcro about half way up the panel on either side.
