Chariot Cross 2

I just had an accident today with my children on a Thule Chariot Cross 2 Double (attached to my bycicle). An idiot on another bycicle coming on speed didn't realized we stopped in the crossing line because we had to cross the avenue, he hit the stroller at speed, the impact was so strong it turned the stroller upside down. People rushed to help. My children (4 and 2) were attached in the seat belt, they were upside down just confused and laughing about what happened. Also the stroller was intact, I was already a Thule fan, but the way how it protected my kids from that idiot made me extra fan. Go for it, just pay the price.

We have two, LO is five weeks, live rurally. The Bugaboo Fox5 Renew (bassinet mode) is for normal day to day use (lives in the car), and a Chariot Cross for eventual skiing/snowshoeing/biking/jogging/beach trips (lives in the garage). We bought the infant sling so it can be used now for strolling, and intend to use it for getting down our muddy/snowy driveway in the winter (big jogging wheel plus totally enclosed space equals win lol). It’ll also be for LO to have a safe, shaded space around the farm, in addition to the other activities once he’s old enough to use it for those things safely. LO is super comfortable in the sling, and usually goes right to sleep. I love love the Bugaboo, and so far it’s handling the fall mud season fine, but I don’t want to use it for that too often, as it lives in the car (it’s hard enough keeping mud out of the car as it is!. I also wear LO in a woven wrap a lot of the time, if you’re babywearing, you may find your stroller needs change 😊

We initially had the Uppababy Vista with the Aria seats. It was great while it lasted but then it became a headache to lug around and the seats have a limited range of movement. We ended up buying a Silver Cross Jet Double. We love it. It’s so light and easy to pop open when you’re juggling twins. We also have a Veer wagon XL for walks and outings and Thule Chariot Cross for bike rides, jogging, and longer walks. We got rid of a double Bob because it was just way too big.

Agree with all of this! We’re using the Uppababy Cruz as our main stroller, and it’s great for all the points listed above except for lack of suspension and hard plastic wheels. I like it for day-to-day walks, but it doesn’t handle well even on slightly uneven terrain (e.g. I avoid gravel paths unless they’re really packed down. Might be less of an issue when LO is older with better neck control, but currently 7 weeks old and rattles around in the bassinet on uneven paths). We ended up getting a Thule Chariot Cross with an infant sling to go on trail walks, since we’ll use that for running, biking and xc skiing when LO is older. Wouldn’t want the Chariot for daily walks though, as it’s clunky and heavy (Thule does make other models like the Urban Glide that would be good for daily use + jogging, if you’re interested in that). As above, look at your lifestyle!

Ik moet eerlijk zeggen dat ik alleen de thule (chariot cross) overwogen heb, geen ervaringen met andere karretjes. Echt een klasse ding, geld waard. Bijkomend voordeel: je kan eindelijk weer met z'n tweeën sporten, deden wij voor de bevalling heel veel. Wij hebben nooit die baby sling gebruikt, dochter zit erin vanaf dat ze zelfstandig kon zitten.
