    Comments about Chariot Carriers Cougar 1 Stroller / Trailer Chassis - 2008:

    We bought this after looking at so many different carriers. We wanted something that looked good and had great features. We found it in the Chariot Cougar I.

    We've used it on beautiful sunny days walking on the boardwalk, downtown San Clemente, or just around the neighborhood. We also used it at Disneyland and Disney World. One of the best features is the rain cover with venting on the side so the child does not get hot and sweaty. It's very easy to steer and does not take a whole lot to push.

    I don't know what we would ever do without our Chariot. Other family members are waiting for our daughter to outgrow it so they could inherit it.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

    Comments about Chariot Carriers Cougar 1 Stroller / Trailer Chassis - 2008:

    We use this cart nearly every day; walking, biking, trotting. It's very sturdy, easily adaptable. Has good strap system inside. I tipped it once around a corner --Yikes! But Emily was just fine inside with the double strap system. Infant sling and winter bag were very helpful for this first year. Has easy, permanent options for variable weather conditions. A top storage rack has been helpful for us. Is too heavy and bulky for in and out of the car but if you're around town, it's the best!

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
