The Chariot CX1 is the ultimate trailer and stroller combo currently available for your child.  It is a complete Child Transport System.  You can enjoy the outdoors with baby, toddler or child; whether strolling, jogging, biking, hiking, or cross-country skiing. The one-child capacity Chariot CX1 includes the best features available to maximize safety, comfort, and multifunction capability. Chariot has truly thought of everything.
Get out with your child riding comfortably in the deluxe padded shoulder harness and widened child cockpit. Children love getting outside, and weather won't affect riding comfort thanks to bug proof mesh, water repellant fabric, an extra long sunshade, weather cover, and zip-down front window for added rainy day protection.
The CX1 boasts a few key upgrades from the Cougar model:
 

• integrated hand brake dual rear drum breaks for more controlled stopping
• deluxe padded shoulder harness and widened child cockpit
• removeable, tinted side windows to increase air flow
• ergonomic five-position handlebar
• handlebar storage bag included
• annodized wheels and spokes
• The CX1 makes taking your child along for the ride a breeze thanks to no tools required assembly and conversion. Patented ezFold design makes for easy transport and storage. An extra-capacity folding rear storage bag and pocket for wallet, keys and cell phone holds everything while a clever handlebar bag doubles as a child's backpack for added transportable storage
• The large mesh sides allow for plenty of light and easy climate control. For less air circulation or a little shade simply zip on the tinted plastic windows.
• The custom designed seat is excellent. There is lots of padding for comfort, wicking materials to draw away moisture and soft fleece surfaces. When you are using the trailer with your bike the head rest folds down to allow space for your childs helmet. The deluxe padded harness is stylish and functional. Depending on the weather you can have the sun screen down for uv protection or roll up the front tinted visor. There are five different types of 3M Scotch materials on the trailer for all round visability.
• The CX frame is manufactured from aluminium and weighs only 9.3 kg with a carrying load of 34 kg. The wheels are sports style in black aero profile 6061-T6 aluminium for that ultimate ride quality. The trade marked CAS suspension system is superb and ensures a wonderfully smooth ride for your child. Chariots innovative folding system is a dream, you can fold the trailer away in a matter of seconds. When folded the trailer is very compact and won't take up too much storage space.
• The CX has numerous storage points incorporated in its design! There are two internal and two external storage pockets for your stuff and you can also store away the stroller wheels etc when not in use.
• The Versa-wing 2.0 system which allows easier fitment of the conversion kits. Also available but supplied seperately are the new buggy wheels 2.0 click into place rather than using the butterfly nuts of the old version. The storage compartment behind the trailer is now much larger and neatly folds away when access is not required.
• Also new is the click 'n' store feature where the trailer arm easily click onto the trailer when not in use which is ideal for cycling into town and then using the trailer as a buggy.

Safety comes first with:

• Additional 3M Scotchlite Reflective Material so everyone can see you
