Chariot SideCar bicycle trailer

Date Published: 3/31/08

The most surprising thing about the Chariot SideCar bicycle trailer's innovative design is that someone didn’t think of it sooner. While most bicycle trailers are towed behind a bike, the Chariot SideCar lets your child ride right alongside you. The advantages of this are numerous, not least the fact that you can keep an eye on your child without straining your neck or taking your eyes from the road. Children will prefer talking to you during a ride (and will appreciate a view more interesting than mom or dad's butt). The sturdy design and pivoting hitch makes this an extremely safe bicycle trailer as well, one that takes up little more width than a regular tow behind trailer. The only downside to this trailer is compatibility: it won't fit with most road, comfort or full suspension bikes. The Chariot SideCar is one of the best designed bicycle trailers available and we'd recommend it to anyone who is fortunate enough to have a compatible mountain bike.


Pros: Excellent design enables you to see your child while riding, stable, secure ride.
Cons: Compatible only with mountain bikes, only carries one child.

Lifetime limited
