Default Found Thanks!

Looking to buy a jogging stroller/bicycle trailer. Doesn't matter if it's single or double. Would prefer a Chariot, but willing to look at getting a Croozer. Not looking at spending anymore than $300.
Thanks!

I have something like this already... I need one that can convert into a bicycle trailer as well.
Thank you for looking for me!

We have one like this.

Actually, ours is an older model, I believe the newer ones are slightly lighter.

Maybe not quite as nice as a Chariot, but you can't complain about spending literally half as much.

Try kijiji. Lots on there, for example:

Reviews on the MEC one say that if you're taller than 5'9" (I'm almost 5'11") you wind up kicking the back when you're running.

I emailing the kijiji one when I get home, but i thunk it's an old version and it doesn't come with a bike attatchment and I'm not sure if the new kits will fit the older strollers.

Yeah, it really depends on how much you want to pay. I think I do remember kicking the back when using ours with it jogging attachment.

However, we mainly use ours as a bike trailer, so no worries in that regard.

One thing I like about it, is that there is easily enough room for a diaper bag and groceries behind the seats. Some of the other manufacturers don't have any room for stuff like that.

For used ones, definitely look out for making sure you get the attachments with it that you want, it could be hard to find them.

Another disadvantage to the MEC double wide one, vs something like a chariot, is that the MEC one will not go through a single wide door, while a Chariot one should. Say you want to go into a shop when you are out, and the shop only has a single wide door, you'll have to take your kids out.

If you use it mostly as a jogging stoller, I'd consider other options, but if you are using it mostly as a bike trailer, the MEC one is pretty good for the price.

I would be using it as a jogging stroller more... That's why I think the Chariot will be my best bet.... The Croozer has a bar across the back that may be an issue with kicking, that's why it's my second choice.

Bump.
I've been looking and I definately want the Chariot brand. Price is negotiable depending on the unit and what's included.
Thanks!

The first one isn't the Chariot brand (I want the bicycle-like wheels)

I've done Kijiji... they are either too expensive, they haven't replied, they are the wrong ones or they've been sold.

I'm being pretty particular on what I'm looking for, just thought I'd give CP a try.
Thanks guys!

Chariots seem to hold their value really well. You may want to bite the bullet and buy new. You'll be able to resell in a few years, when your daughter doesn't use it anymore, and recoup at least 50-60% of what you paid.
