First time out with the Chariot

For Christmas we got a big fancy two seater Cougar Chariot from Joy, Bill and Baba. We finally got a chance to try it out a couple of weekends ago as we went for a jog with Béla. It was a pretty mild day out so we didn't have to bundle him or us up too much. Here he is about to be put in (after his tuque was arranged).


Here he is all strapped in and ready to rock and mostly roll. The wagon is pretty awesome. It comes apart and is easy to put together. It's got a screen, sun shade, pockets on the inside, 5 point harnesses, and a fancy suspension. It's not recommended that we truck him around via bike power until he's 12 months old (we're probably going to start a little earlier, because he's such a bruiser), but luckily we also got the jogging kit that goes with it for Christmas, which means that there's a front wheel in front instead of the arm that that clips into the hitch.



After a quick stop at the gas station to get the tires pumped up, we went run-walking along the river. It was the warmest weekend we've had in a while, and it was good to get out and enjoy the sunshine while all three of us were healthy. And thus went Béla's second ever trip in a stroller.
