How is it already June!? I have a feeling this summer is just going to fly by! Before you know it, Father’s Day will be here. I feel like last year, Greyson was still just a little baby and I felt like I didn’t put enough thought into Michael’s father day gift. This year I started searching early and I really wanted to find him something that he not only loves but would get a lot of use out of!
He just recently purchased a bike and wanted to take the kids on rides with him and kept dropping the hint he wanted a little trailer to pull the kids along in on bike rides. We are huge fans of Thule, as our first jogger and second double joggers are both Thule, and I had seen some of their awesome trailers. I read a bunch of reviews on the Chariot Trailer and people were raving about the jogger/trailer.
I am so glad I ended up getting the Thule ChariotΒ the thing isΒ awesome. It is a jogger/trailer that can be used year round! It allows us all to be active as a family and get outside and enjoy nature with really no limitations. It’s a gift for the whole family if you ask me! The kids LOVE it, Michael LOVES it, and I LOVE it. It’s comfy for both Sutton (almost 4 years old) and Greyson (1.5 years old).Β The seat recline is awesome and it’s great to have the ability to recline only one of the seats. Michael can also easily switch it to a jogger and go for a jog.
Michael has been taking Sutton to school it in everyΒ day and she just loves it! This morning was the first time in a week we took her in the car and she was so bummed sheΒ couldn’t ride in the trailer. You can read more onΒ all the amazing specs here. Here are a few that I love…
A five-point harness holds the kids securelyΒ in the seatΒ . Another safety point- It has visibilityΒ features the trailer including an orange flag,Β two front βheadlightβ reflectors, and rearΒ reflectors.
Doubles as a jogger/trailer instead of two different items taking up space in the garage.
Use itΒ year round – jogger is warm and has a rain cover that keepsΒ the kids nice and toasty. It has an option to takeΒ skiing!Β
It’s comfortable for the kids (next toΒ safety, that is so important!)Β It has a reclining seatΒ which is nice for nap time.Β The seat padding isΒ greatβSutton said it was so comfortableβand it removes forΒ easy washing.
Finally, the trailerβs suspension systemΒ helps absorb vibration from the road to the trail. So it’s a smooth ride for the kids. InsideΒ the Chariot, there are two mesh pockets on either side ofΒ the seat.Β These provide space for pacifiers, waterΒ bottles, snacks, and toys.Β Thereβs also a large rear trunk that canΒ fold up out of the way when not in use or is largeΒ enough to hold a diaper bag or large bag of groceries.
It is such a great piece forΒ active families. I couldn’t rave more about the qualityΒ of Thule and their attention to safety. This is definitely aΒ splurge but will be used for many years to come almost onΒ the daily!
Another fun option forΒ Father’s Day are Outdoor games. Dicks Sporting Goods has thisΒ game called Bean Bag Bucketz that is fun for the wholeΒ family.Β We took this back to my parents over Memorial Day weekend and it wasΒ a hit! We had quite the competition going on!Β Right now Dicks has aΒ Limited-Time Sale for Buy One Get One 50% Off Select Outdoor Games of $19.99 and up.

Hi Becky, can you tell me what type of cruiser bike Michael has? In the hunt for a cruiser my husband will like to pull the Thule Chariot. Thank you
It is called the Man Cruiser – you can find it lots of places, including Amazon. I will say though, that his only has 1 speed, which makes it difficult to pull the Thule Chariot. Something with multi-speeds would be better! xo
