Gear of the Week | Thule Chariot Sport 2

The all-rounder

by Steffen Kruse 10/24/2021
We were lucky enough to get the Chariot stroller new, although it is certainly just as good used. I'm writing about the new condition because you can see right from the start that this product has been thought through down to the last detail and will work perfectly for a Thule lifetime!

Aware readers may have noticed that there has already been a review of the Thule Chariot 2 here. However, since it was an older model, an update can't hurt!

The trolley is delivered in a large box and is disassembled, but the assembly is very simple and easy. You're ready to go! I have to say, I was surprised at how easy everything works. OK, it's certainly not cheap, but in this case I think the quality is correspondingly high.

For summer use, there are small, very maneuverable wheels that make it easy to steer through the narrow aisles in the supermarket. For longer hiking trips or jogging, we rely on the large front wheel, which is quickly mounted. In general, the rear wheels can also be removed very quickly by pressing the axle button and the stroller can be folded up small for transportation. The suspension firmness can be adjusted, although we have never needed to do this before. I particularly like the fact that the reclining position can be varied on this model, as our little one likes to sleep in her luxury pushchair.

If it gets too hot, all the window films can be removed and the child is still protected by the fly nets. The bike mode also works great and the bike drawbar is quickly fitted. On the newer models, the drawbar can also be locked to the pram and to the coupling on the bike. We often use the pram for shopping because it is very spacious and fits a lot of things, with or without a child. The basket at the back of the stroller can be folded up so that it doesn't get in the way when walking, especially when jogging.

Since we live in the mountains and the landscape is snow-covered for a large part of the year, I was curious about winter use. In short, I can think of almost nothing better. However, the "almost nothing" is also rather individual - here I would wish for wider skis and a more stable carriage (less risk of tipping over) for leisurely ski touring. But you can also customize the skis yourself! This is certainly not a criterion for the masses. The existing skis are designed for cross-country skiing, as is the towing frame. Both work great and are quickly assembled. To push the trolley in the snow, I usually have the skis mounted at the back and the "jogging wheel" at the front.

I could go on forever about this multifunctional tool, but I don't really need to. The Thule is a loyal, high-quality companion that will see you through thick and thin, hot and cold. Our model is not the only one, everyone is sure to find the right model for their needs. Just take a look at the Thule page, where you'll find videos, pictures, prices and other details.
