An example of a durability test that Chariot conducts takes place on a large rotating drum. The carrier is loaded with test dummies and cargo exceeding the recommended maximum weight limit. The trailer is punished with more than 80,000 impacts over a 7/8 inch / 22 mm high bump, at various speeds. This is just one of a number of endurance tests that a Chariot product must be capable of enduring!

Peace of Mind. When you purchase a Chariot Carrier, you’re buying a product that has undergone years of internal and field testing – and retesting. Some of the tests conducted on each Chariot model are: side and rear impact, nose drop, suspension, hitch, tip over, and long term durability on a very rough simulated road.
In addition to complying with applicable safety standards, Chariot products must pass our own significantly more stringent internal standards. By integrating product design, testing and production under one roof, Chariot raises the bar in product safety and excellence. Additional independent international test results have further verified this quality.
All Chariot trailers meet or exceed ASTM standards F1975-02
At least half a dozen of our friends' families own Chariot carriers - and one has owned theirs for 8+ years and used it for 4 different children. All of them cannot say enough about the Chariot brand and the carriers and so we didn't even think about considering a different carrier.
