Comments about Chariot Carriers Infant Sling:

We purchased this kit when we originally purchased our CX2, and it has held up very well. It acts as sort of a hammock for your new baby. On the CX2, the crotch strap ends up being double-padded (with both the pad built in to the kit as well as the pad already existing on the 5 point harness), but it still works great.

I wouldn't recommend biking or full out running with your baby in this configuration as it is only a 3 point harness when properly installed (the sides of the sling have a sort of a lip to keep the baby in, so they're not really at risk of falling out - in the event of a roll-over at high speed, however, the baby would be at risk).

This kit works very well, but if you have big babies or they grow quickly, you'll be lucky to get the stated 10 months of use out of this product. As soon as they sit up and have better control of their head and neck, you can graduate to the infant support kit (which lasts for another six months or so).

Comments about Chariot Carriers Infant Sling:

We purchased the infant sling so our infant would be able to ride along with our 2 yo. The installation took 15 min and was pretty straight-forward. Our 2 mo loved it. It worked great the first time out, with both children enjoying themselves. Not cheap, but at this point, we think it is worth it.

Getting Out for a Walk

Comments about Chariot Carriers Infant Sling:

I've used the Infant Sling with our Chariot since my youngest baby was a couple weeks old. She appears to be completely comfortable in the seat, and because I use the Chariot almost daily to walk, we have gotten our money's worth. However, I think that few babies will comfortably fit in the Infant Sling by 10 months. It is more reasonable to expect 6 months of use out of the Infant Sling.
On my Chariot, from 2006, I had to install an extra pole. This was not the easiest process, as the frame of my Chariot was not quite symmetrical anymore. I had to then thread the Sling between this extra pole and the support at the top of the Chariot. Once the Sling is installed, you have to take the child restraint from the Chariot itself, and thread it through the Sling, and then pull the crotch strap up and thread it through the Sling. So, the child restraint part is still attached through the sling to the actual Chariot. This was not nearly as confusing to do, as it is to write. The Chariot still folds and unfolds without any adjustment to the Infant Sling.
All in all, I am very happy with the Infant Sling.
