Celebrating 15 years of
progress and innovation.Fifteen years ago, Chariot was six friends hand building child trailers in a small wood shop in Calgary, Canada. Today we are still in Calgary, however we are now a team of about 200 people working in a new 65 000 square foot high tech facility. For making this progress possible, much of the credit goes to all of our employees, customers, retailers, distributors, friends and supporters thank you!
Take it Outside
Chariot Carriers wants you to TAKE IT OUTSIDE this summer.
As a Chariot owner you already know how easy it is to maintain a healthy, active lifestyle even after you have kids. Well, we’d like your help to send that message to the thousands of new parents that think having kids means they’ll have to give up the activities they enjoy. So "Take it Outside" this summer and send us your best photos.
Each month we will choose the best image from each category to win your choice of the CTS Strolling, Jogging, or Cycling kit or any two accessories.
Each winning photo will have a chance to be selected as the photo of the year. On August 20th we will announce the photo that has been selected as the year’s best. The winning photo will be featured on our website and in our 2009 product guide.
Take it Outside runs from March 1 2008 to July 31 2008
