The Thule Chariot Cab 2 is a versatile multisport trailer designed for active families. It is built to provide a safe and comfortable environment for children while cycling, strolling, or jogging. The trailer features an adjustable handlebar, reclining seats, and adjustable suspension to ensure comfort for both the child and the parent. It is equipped with a weather and mesh cover to protect against various weather conditions and insects.

Safety Guidelines
Important: Always read the safety manual for Thule strollers and bicycle trailers before use. The child's safety is paramount; never leave children unattended. Ensure all fasteners are securely tightened and that the trailer is properly attached to the bicycle before use. Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity of 60 kg (132 lbs) for the total load, including the trailer, children, and cargo. Always use the provided safety harness and ensure the child is wearing a helmet when cycling.

Assembly and Operation
The trailer is designed for easy assembly and folding. Before each use, perform a safety check: inspect the frame for any dents or cracks, ensure all fasteners are secure, and check that the tires are properly inflated to 30-35 Psi (2.0-2.45 Bar). The trailer features a parking brake for safety when stationary. When using as a bicycle trailer, ensure the bike arm is securely locked and the safety strap is attached to the bicycle frame.
Maintenance and Care
Regular maintenance is essential to keep the Thule Chariot Cab 2 in optimal condition. Clean the trailer regularly with warm water and a mild soap solution; avoid harsh detergents or solvents. Inspect metal components for signs of wear, dents, or cracks. Clean wheel axles and apply grease or oil to all exposed moving parts. It is highly recommended to have the trailer serviced by an authorized service provider at least once a year. Store the trailer in a dry place, away from direct sunlight, and ensure it is completely dry before storage to prevent mold and bacteria growth.
