Chariots of Fire

The 'Chariot Sports Series CX 2' was the first thing I knew our family needed to have for our daughter and lifestyle. The only thing is that it was quite pricey but we took the familiar saying into heart, 'You get what you pay for'. We certainly have. 

This beast, despite its size is super light weight. It's the ideal stroller for the active lifestyle family. You can convert it for usage during everyday, running, cross-country skiing, hiking and cycling. The '2' in 'CX 2' stands for it being made for two children. Once people find this out they ask if we are trying for a second child. No! Right now that is not our focus. We thought if we were going to invest in this heavy duty stroller we might as well stretch it a bit and go for the double if and when we decide to have a second child down the line. What's great about the CX2 is even if you don't have two kids you can have just one baby/child in it and the weight won't throw off the ride experience, or push experience. Currently we have the 'Infant Baby Sling' which attaches centrally.

The only difficulty we have so far experienced is that the 'CX 2' is a wide model to accommodate two children. This poses a problem due to its width. Although it can fit in most doorways, you will find that it can be very tight and you may encounter doors and gates that don't allow for its width.
