We had that same dilemma.  After researching trailers, we decided on the
Chariot Cougar also.  We decided to go with the single since it's a little
less wind resistance and easier to store.  Getting groceries by bike was our
other concern but we both have racks on our bikes and commute daily, so we
have big panniers for that purpose.  If we need more groceries than that,
one of us pulls Eleanor in the Chariot, and the other pulls the Burley cargo
trailer.  So far that has worked out well, and we made the right choice for
us.  We figured that if we have a second child (possible but not likely)
that we could easily sell the single and purchase a double.

Hello All. 


I thought I would ask for the wisdom of the crowd as I prepare to make a kid
trailer purchase. I am looking to get a Chariot Cougar - the main question
is going for the single or double model. At this point, there is no real
need for the double, but there may be in the future.


The main appeal of the single is that it is a bit narrower and seems
slightly less unwieldy. We have to store the trailer in a smallish shed that
is already a bit cramped, so the smaller size appeals to me. The double on
the other hand offers a bit more storage space and should be more stable.
The trailer will be primarily for bike-use, but may occasionally be used as
a jogger.


Any thoughts? You don't have to have the Chariot - I'll take input from
Burley and other owners as well!


Thanks,
Kevin
