Chariot Cougar Review

Chariots of Fire

 

 Halloween night, of course, requires a different stroller than one used for the preps leading up to it. The perfect choice--my Chariot of Fire. What a "scream"!

 Reflective and orange and black, decorated with mini Jack-o-Lanterns. Positively "spooky" how it matches this "haunted house"!

 

  In the dark of night, you wouldn't want to be "tricked" going over an unseen crack, and have all your "treats" go flying. After all, they were hard earned by this mini UPS man. And we all know how "magic" he is to StrollerLand; especially when we are awaiting delivery of our newest stroller!

 These 20" air tires with suspension say "BOO" to tree roots, grass, cracks, mud, rocks...just about anything you might encounter that goes "bump" in the night.

 The back of the seat has an integrated helmet space, so your little "sorcerer's" head isn't pushed forward. And look at how "monstrously" big this seat is! It is going to come in very handy later, as you shall see. "Thrills" and "chills"!

 First, though, a little "trunk" or treating.

 Right now, I have the stroller wheels on the Cougar. They are made out of a "frightfully" hard rubber.

 But you can also attach a variety of "disguises", including a bike hitch, hiking harness, skis, or a jogging wheel! 

 

Great for running through a graveyard! And if you don't want that ghoul to grab it, you can store it in the back when you are not using it. Just attach it to the basket with the velcro buckles and straps.

And the jogging wheel's arms can be stored in the "click n store" brackets.

You can even store the strolling wheels, right on the chassis! 

And yet, they've thought of more! Suspension that adjusts to the weight of your littlest goblin.

And a quick, compact fold.

But this Cougar is fiercest on the roads.

 

It's no exaggeration to say that it has a "wicked"two fingered push. Whether the UPS man is running to a house, or riding inside!

 A really fabulous accessory is this top cargo rack. It is "spine-chillingly" brilliant! You know how you throw Halloween sweets and little pumpkins on the top of your stroller? 

 

Or sling jackets and bags and blankets on the canopy? Now, you have this "hair-raising" holder. No stooping down or digging in a basket like a "crypt keeper". It is so useful that it's "supernatural"! I would say this, alone, is reason to buy the Chariot. Although it's "spirited" performance is second to none.

I'm also knocked out by this "blood-curdling" covered back basket. You can hide a lot of candy in here.

 Close the cover, and brother and sister won't know it's there! "Sinister"!

 There is even a "ghoulishly" delightful net basket on the back for more storage.

And little net pockets on the inside of the seat for"gory goodies"!

So many places for my KitKats, yum!

 

 You can also get a handlebar console, with bottle holders, a zippered pocket,  and an ear phone port. It attaches to the handlebar, but has a strap so you can use it for a diaper bag, too. Very accessible. "All the better to eat candy with, my dear"!

 There is a plethora of accessories to "dress up" your Chariot. They include a rain cover, travel bag, storage bag, cup holder, hydration cage, side fenders, jogging brake, and strobe light. With all these other strobes,we would gave blended right in!

 You can use the Cougar for a very young "sprite",  if you get the infant sling, baby bivy (like a carrycot) baby supporter, or bunting bag. But these are for strolling only. Jogging comes later, when your "goblin" has good head support and can sit up well. And biking is even later, when your "zombie" can wear a helmet. That's usually around a year.

 Chariot has several different "thrilling"models--the Side Carrier, Corsaire XL, Cabriolet, Cougar, and CX.

 

The Cougar has side air vents, and tinted windows. And you can roll down the front weather covers to make it like a "cloak of midnight." There are three--a bug net, rain cover, and canopy top.

 The UPS man had a "ghostly" long night. Fortunately, the Cougar seat is "fearfully" padded. 

 

 And, he's out! Amazon "package" and all!

 

The cockpit is huge, and will hold a "vampire"up to 75 pounds. It comes in a double, too. Color choices are "pumpkin" orange," blood" red, and "gruesome" green.

 The seat doesn't recline exactly, but StrollerPrince 2.0 is "resting in peace."
