Comments about Chariot Carriers Cycling CTS Bike Trailer Kit:

We bought this kit along with our CX2 and we just love it. It is simple to hook up to your bicycle, and we purchased a second hitch attachment for another bicycle so that we can switch off easily.

I am able to take surprisingly sharp turns with this kit attached to my bike, and despite a couple of spills by an over-adventurous dad my babies don't flip with me thanks to the ball and socket style joint. There are plenty of backup safety features to ensure that this stays attached to your bicycle.

The flag that comes in this kit really helps with visibility, as do the reflectors. Overall, this kit along with our Chariot chassis has really made bike riding fun again for our family. I highly recommend it.

Comments about Chariot Carriers Cycling CTS Bike Trailer Kit:

Our Chariot is the coolest piece of gear my wife and I have ever purchased, and living in Tahoe we buy lots of outdoor stuff. Assembly of the chasis is a snap...just take it out of the box, unfold it, pop on the wheels and it's good to go. Adding the hitch to your bike only takes two minutes...you don't even need to remove the rear wheel, just swap out the axle and tighten the quick release. As far as the bike hitch arm is concerned, it attaches to the chasis with a quick release button and stores well on the side if you swap out for different kit...you can't collapse the chasis with it in the stored position, though, so we ususally just leave it in place and hang it from the ceiling of our garage folded up. The ball and socket hitch coupling facilitates sharp turns and allows you to lay your bike down without tweaking the chasis if you stop at a destination without bike racks. You definitely notice that your pulling something behind your bike, but the trailer tracks really well and doesn't yard you around. And the suspension keeps things comfortable on pavement or mildly bumpy off road trails. Our 2 year old daughter loves "going for a bike trailer", so we give it high marks all the way around.

Comments about Chariot Carriers Cycling CTS Bike Trailer Kit:

I love the trailer feature. When I tried it out I couldn't believe how easy it was to pull. The most amazing thing to me was that it didn't affect my turning radius. I could turn as tight as I wanted and the trailer didn't affect it at all. Such a different story from others that I have tried. And it is very intuitive to connect. Fast and easy, with little to no chance to make a mistake. My kids and I both love it!

Comments about Chariot Carriers Cycling CTS Bike Trailer Kit:

I love this system. It is a ball and socket joint so it is super easy to set up and the turning radius on the bike is very good. I leave the mounting bracket on my bike all the time because it is so low profile. I've used the Burley system and like this much more.
