Expensive, Can't Really Use w/o More Money, Well Made, Folds Up Small, Fits 2 Kids...

Chariot Carriers Inc Cougar 2 Stroller

Chariot Carriers Inc Cougar 2 Stroller

Rating for this product: 4 February 23, 2011

PROS:
- Well Made
- Big enough for 2 with space
- Storage for parents jacket, water, food, keys, phone, mail etc...
- Rolls really well
- Weather Shield
- Screen
- Suspension
- Foot Brake (con to...)
- Accessories you can buy
- Folds up small

CONS:
- Brake is hard to set when storage pouch is down.
- EXPENSIVE
- Sun Visor sux
- Can't use without buying another attachment such as front tire(s), bike attachment, skis etc... You just get a pod without these things. I guess you could push it around without the front tire. Bring a round of wood to set the front on when you stop. LOL.

RANT:
It's great for 2 kids. We have a 1.5 yr old and a 3 month old and it's great. I hated this thing when my wife first suggested it cause you get this pod then have to buy a front tire to even use it. WHAT?! I'm spending $600 on something I can't use without spending another $100. That's as lame as it gets. Then to put an infant in, I need to buy a $70 insert, unless I am crafty or you have a wonderful sister in law who sends their old one... thank the Lord for her.

So it's expensive... Whatever... that's the breaks. Your kids will thank you for the comfy ride. :)

The Charriot is really, really nice and well built. $700+ for my kids to be wheeled around outside in any type of weather is great. The plastic rain fly works well, however, if it was shaded a little it would be great for sun too... the sun visor deal that folds down is just something for my daughter to pull on. The screen is great for the warmer days keeping debris from the bike tire off the kids ($160 more for that part btw).

There is good airflow inside with the little front flaps pulled open. There is enough room for 2 kids just fine with their water and any other little things they'd like to bring. The fold down storage area near your knees is really roomy, but you tend to hit it with your knees unless you drag your feet or stand with your arms stretched out a little.

Everything we've attached onto the pod has gone on easily and securely. It folds up really small for how big it is. Fits in the Subaru fine.

I would like to see a Sled attachment rather than the Skis. The skis are worthless for any backcountry skiing. A sled would be much better for the pow.

My Advice? Get one on a zero interest CC and pay it off over a year. Then it doesn't seem so expensive. :)

Good Sole that smells like my barn.

Really, it smells like a hay barn. Still does after use! I'd say they are much more durable than the Alpine blocks. That 'rubber' just wears right off. I have contacted them about making a vibram sole. I don't have a clue why they didn't do that...

Rating for this product: 4 June 12, 2008

I'll give them 4 stars, cause a 5 star shoe is nearly impossible to find I think. I just got these to replace my Salomon GCS XCR. So far I am really pleased. I run on pavement with them, feels fine. I like how the have a thicker heal than the XA Comp... That was my other choice. They fit a little larger than the other Salmon's I have had. I wore 11.5, but have an 11 in the wings, but I like a tighter fit. The reason I didn't go with the WP ones, is cause of the HEAT of the XCR GCS shoes I had before. These are cooler, but still warm. I haven't run anywhere in the dirt besides my yard, and have not taken them on an overnighter or anything, but so far I like them. Good grip, cushy, tight on foot... negatives? They don't breath super well. A little "clunky" compared to the XA Comp. Pavement = XT WINGS | Woods = XA Comp or GCS

Salomon XT Wings Trail Running Shoe - Men's

I really like the XT wings. I had the Salomon GCS XCR, they are similar to the XA Pro 3Ds, but seem to have a thicker sole kinda like the XT wings. I like em. I run on pavement with them and it feels good. I'm 6'3" 200lb.

That's funny what the reviews say. I had the Salomon GCS XCR in 11.5, they fit perfect! Then I wore them out... got the XT wings non-WP in an 11. They are a TINY bit smaller, but fit really well. I like my shoes a little tighter.
