Features Your Children Will Love

Comfort & safety: A 5-point child safety harness keeps your children safe and secured. The harness has plenty of play to accommodate various sized kids.

Roomy cockpit: With a pass-through width of 31.5 inches, the Chariot Cheetah 2 is definitely wide but is, after all, a double stroller (and it does fit through standard interior sized door frames). The stroller’s size means the child cockpit is roomy and kids will appreciate the space, especially on long outings. The Chariot Cheetah 2 offers integrated helmet space so on bike rides kids still have plenty of head room while wearing a helmet.

Sunshade & large windows: A sunshade keeps the bright sun out of your kids’ eyes. This is particularly useful for babies who refuse to wear their sunglasses! (It can be rolled up out of the way on cloudy days). The side windows are tinted to provide all-around shade from the bright sun. Babies and children alike will also appreciate the large size of the windows so they can enjoy the scenery and not miss a beat!

Two-in-one weather cover: If you enjoy a light jog in a Spring shower, or just find yourself caught in a sudden rainstorm, the plastic weather cover has your children covered (literally)! The cover is secured easily on both sides at the bottom with double-sided velcro. When the rain has passed, simply roll the cover up and attach with the elastic loops on each side at the top of the stroller to keep it neatly out of the way. A mesh cover layered underneath the plastic cover can be rolled down to protect from the elements (wind and bugs) while still allowing air flow. If you don’t need a cover at all, simply roll the mesh layer up as well and secure with the loops.
