      Thule chariot bicycle trailers have a rigid roll-cage chassis, five point harness and their infographics mandate parents to put the kid in with a helmet and also wait until the kid has the ability to keep up their head on their neck in a stable enough fashion, usually twelve months of age minimum.

      Also it’s a trailer, trailing behind the bicycle pulling it. The bicycle is much more likely to tumble or hit something before the chariot itself.

      This contraption looks like something that no company would put to market less they have an army of lawyers backing them when they will be inevitably held liable for the ridiculous injuries it will cause.
