Using the Thule Chariot Cross 1 is easy. First, make sure your child is safely secured in the trailer. You can then attach it to your bike and start your outdoor adventure. If you want to use it as a stroller, just switch it over. When using the optional Jogging Kit, ensure it's properly installed. For safety, always check the connections before each use. Avoid overloading the extra - large cargo bag. To maintain the trailer, clean it regularly with a mild soap and water. Store it in a dry place when not in use. This will keep it in good condition for many adventures to come.
