Reviews for Chariot CX2 bike trailer

love my new chariot i have a 2month old and a 2 year old, they both sit nice, they both can sleep, and i get to work off the fat! i have so far used it almost every day. its awesome, i love it. i use the infant sling, which holds my 15 lb 2 month old well. i wrote chariot about a few things and they got back to me and said they were working on it! great company as well as great products. spending the huge amount of $$$ on the cx2 was a little scary but so glad i did, its my freedom on wheels.

I purchased Chariot?s 2005 Cross-Country CX2 from Bicycletrailers.com for use with an 80 lb., 9 year old child with muscular dystrophy vacationing with our family. We also purchased the jogging kit, cycling kit, hiking kit and cross country ski kits. The hiking kit enabled us to hike relatively flat compacted sand trails; we were able to bike asphalt trails (though it took a strong male to pull 80 lbs up the inclines). We did not use the ski attachments in the loose sand, as we had anticipated, because the spoked wheels actually worked better (though sharp turns with 80 lbs. would have damaged the wheels in loose sand). In this situation, pulling the trailer worked better than pushing.

This product allowed us to have a vacation that EVERYONE could participate in. Obviously, when you get up to 80 lbs., this trailer is designed for two 40 lb. toddlers not a single 80 lb individual. However, with the addition of a our own foam seat cushion and bolsters it was the only product I found out there that COULD have accomplished this. It is not clear to me that there is an officially sanctioned (and probably more expensive) product out there that would have worked any better, and this product is still available to us for carting toddlers and groceries. The strength, ruggedness and weight capacity of this product, as well as the available add-ons, is what sets this apart from its peers. It did everything they said it would, and more!

I wonder if Chariot would consider designing one of these trailers specifically for the handicapped young person under 100 pounds? When the going got tough, we would put one adult at the handle bars and another in the hiking harness for extra push and stability.

We pushed the limits of this product and it served us well. Thank you.
