For your all-season adventures or balmy neighborhood walks,
there are many advantages to having a protected child compart-
ment. Children can be sheltered and isolated from the elements.
Or on a nice day, you can remove the weather cover and have an
open, breezy playspace on wheels.
Protected child compartments also make it is easier to bring
along and manage items such as blankets, books, snacks, drinks
and toys. Also, these comfy child compartments typically have a
low center of gravity, allowing for extra stability and easy child
access. Ultimately you have the flexibility with Chariot to go as
you and your children want: top up or down.
Protected child compartments.
Whenever the big sky beckons, grab your kids and head for
the horizon. Because when you have a Chariot Carrier, outdoor
freedom, healthy adventures, and family togetherness await!
Make it a Chariot Day!
Follow your spirit of adventure!
