Our Review of the Croozer 535 bike trailer
The Croozer 535 is essentially an economical alternative to the Chariot Cougar 2. It shares the same basic bike trailer / stroller conversion design, most notably the ability to transform back and forth from its original bike trailer form, becoming a stroller or even a jogging stroller. This versatility is a huge plus for families with an interest in both running and cycling, who don't want to deal with storing multiple single-use carriers, or who like exploring the option of doing several activities in a day without having to change carriers.
The Chariot Cougar 2 and Croozer 535 have almost every major feature in common. The big differences are the weight and attention to detail; Croozer products are mass produced in China, while Chariot's trailers are hand-made in Canada. Of course, you get what you pay for: to get top quality, you have to pay top dollar. However, the Croozer 535 is by no means a low-end trailer; it is just not of the same quality level as a Chariot bike trailer.
Parents looking for a single child carrier should look into the Croozer 737.
Noteworthy distinctions between the Croozer 535 and the Chariot Cougar 2:
The price of the Croozer 535 includes the jogging and stroller conversion kits, whereas separate kits are required in order to transform the Cougar 2. The Croozer has individual bucket seats, while the Cougar 1 has a single bench-style seat. The Cougar 2 has a double bench seat. The Croozer 535 weighs 33 lbs. while the Cougar 2 weighs 24 lbs.. The Croozer 535 uses a center caster with one wheel (included) while the Cougar 1 uses 2 corner casters (sold separately), which seems more stable. The bottom line is that the Croozer 535 is well suited for families that can't or don't want to spend the money for the 'high-end" trailer and the necessary conversion kits, but like the idea of a multi-purpose carrier to serve as a stroller, bike trailer, and jogging stroller.
