Thule Infant Sling - Cheetah XT, Grey

I have been using this since my daughter was 3 months old and it has been wonderful. The YouTube video was easier to follow than the instruction book!! I run and found the support fantastic as she doesn't feel a thing and jostle around which is perfect. Well worth getting so you can utilise your chariot to the fullest.

As a parent of twin infants (9 1/2 months old) who have been strapped into these infant slings in our Thule Chariot Cougar 2 many times, I have to say these things have been fantastic. Admittedly, getting the assembly right was a little confusing, and as another person commented, it's a lot easier to follow using the video online than reading the instruction manual; however, when properly done, at least in my experience, the infants are very secure in the harness and we've had no issues. Once the installation sequence is understood, they're also easy to remove for washing (as we've had to do once or twice after diapers have failed to perform adequately).So some can better understand how this sling works with the Thule carriers such as the Cougar 2, here's a little explanation of how it works: when the infant is secured in the properly assembled sling and harness, the infant will be secured in the sling by what is effectively a five-point harness, with one strap coming up between the legs, one strap from each side around the waist, and one strap coming down over each shoulder. (In actuality, the shoulder and waist strap on each side are one and the same, with the side buckles creating the delineation once clipped in to the center buckle.)The beauty of this system is how quickly and easily the straps are operated and adjusted. It's so easy to get our babies in and out quickly, and the sling provides great support for their little baby heads.Until the snow started falling in December, we got plenty of use out of the slings on walks, jogs, runs, over broken and bumpy sidewalks and grass, gravel and dirt, and never once worried about the security of these slings.Considering that the expensive child carrier is useless without this infant sling until the baby is older, the money spent here is very, very worth it in our experience. Think of it this way: you're not only buying the sling. You're buying fresh air and sunshine. You're buying exercise and escape. You're buying freedom from being cooped up in the house with baby all day. If you're going to spend hundreds of dollars on the Thule carrier anyways, you may as well spend a little more so you can begin using it that much sooner! Anyways, we're very happy we bought ours, and we think you will be too.

Baby girl is 8 months and still riding in this. Used it when she was 3 weeks, she has been so comfy. I love the whole set up, the Chariott (Thule? Cougar 2) is the most amazing stroller. I had the Bob jogger for my first and never really liked running with him in the carseat. I am not a big "leave your kid in the carseat" person anyway, so I hated that I would drive somewhere and leave him in his seat, we'd run and I'd leave him in his seat to drive back...the kid wouldn't get picked up, that's terrible! So with chariott and the sling, baby is comfy with a soft ride and truly seems happy with the situation! My kids have always loved running in the stroller, so I am pretty lucky!

I love this for the ease of use and comfort for my baby. We use this daily and baby loves her rides! She’s comfy and it’s so perfect for her and provides stability u til she can safely ride in the stroller without the sling.

If you have a baby and like to bike with your trailer, you NEED this! It is like a little recliner for them. My daughter loves the sling and often times falls asleep. I have been able to bike my older daughter to school with my baby in the trailer with no problems. Very secure and soft. Great product.

This is a useful product for Chariot owners who have a younger/smaller baby and wish to run or bike. When installed it does not place the child in a fully reclined position, but rather at about a 35 degree position average. Because it is meant to bow in the center a bit like a hammock, it is closer to a 45 degree position for the torso and head and a 30 degree for the legs. The price is expensive, as is everything for this stroller and Thule products in general, but the quality and finish is very good and of high quality. The pictures don't do it justice.The installation is fairly easy, but the printed instructions are not very good as they are black and white and do not show the details and not all strollers have the same buckles and attachment points so not everything applies. Example 1: The instructions asked that two clips on the sides of the sling be attached to the rings on the frame. On the 2012 CX1 there are no attachment points at that position. Example 2: The crotch buckle 2012 CX1 differs from the extension buckle included with the sling and from the printed instructions.

I bought this stroller second hand, so I’m not exactly sure what model it is, but the sling fits perfectly into my old Cougar Chariot! My 3 year old fits nicely too and has room for his shoulders behind the sling and feet below the bar. He weighs about 35lbs. My baby in this photo is a 2 months old and fits well in the sling and probably will for a while. I love it! High quality and allows me to go on some very necessary sanity walks!

The straps in the cheetah are not long enough to work with this sling. My kids butt doesn’t seat right, everything is way to tight.
