One Chariot. Five Choices. Unlimited Possibilities
Like all Chariot child carriers, the Chinook utilizes modular Chariot CTS (Child Transport System), which provides parents and caregivers, with a choice of how to maintain or embark on an active lifestyle, and bring their children along. The chassis of Chariot carriers can be combined with a variety of conversion kits, allowing for multiple outdoor activities, including: jogging, strolling, bike trailer, hiking and cross-country skiing (kits sold separately).
Stroll or Jog With the Pivoting and Locking Front Wheel
The Chinook’s unique, integrated pivoting and locking front wheel allows users to use the carrier out of the box for both strolling and jogging.
For stroller functionality, the wheel is lifted up into position from its folded position against the bottom of the carrier. Clicking it into place makes it the front, third wheel in the carrier’s stroller configuration. The support structure of the wheel projects slightly forward from the carrier frame, and the wheel axle slightly from its forks.
In stroller mode the wheel is free to spin 360-degrees, providing traditional stroller mobility. To transition to jogging stroller mode the wheel rotates until it projects forward, and locks into place. The forward direction of the wheel support, and the forward position of the wheel when locked into place spread the weight of the carrier, providing stability during jogging sessions.

The Cargo Bag attaches at the rear of the Chinook, serving as an roomy general storage bag. It detaches in seconds for use away from the carrier, and features convenient shoulder strap functionality.
