Future...

Looking to the

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!

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

ODL04

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

the innovative CSL, visit page 21.

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.

LOVE IT!! What more can I say!

Denise (Cougar 2 owner)

I really like the trailer. I don’t

drive so I use it as my car.

Everything fits perfectly in

it and the kids are always

comfortable. In the winter they

are very cozy inside it.

Isabel (Cougar 2 owner)

Great product!! Our daughter

really enjoys it (just like her

father ;-)

Martien (Cougar 2 owner)

We’ve been extremely happy

with the Chariot thus far. We

take it everywhere... and many

people have stopped to ask us

where/how to purchase one.

Shauna (CX 1 owner)

I like the aluminum frame

(lighter weight) and the gears

(good for hills). I’ve already

taken my two oldest kids

(5 and 6) on several rides and

we love it!

Thomas (Catch’em owner)

We recently purchased the

double stroller after enjoying

the single for about a year and

a half. We LOVE this product

and it helps us to keep our

active lifestyle going.

Safety in Action.

When you purchase a Chariot Carrier, you’re

buying an engineered product that has under-

gone years of internal and real-world testing.

By integrating product design and testing all

under one roof, Chariot is able to raise the bar

in product safety and quality.

Not only does Chariot comply with applicable

safety standards, but all of our products must

also pass our own much higher internal stan-

dards. Independent international test results

with Chariot products have veriﬁed our quality.

All Chariot trailers meet or exceed

ASTM Standard F1975-02
