In the Sea to Sky, one stroller rarely does it all. The jogging stroller is built for active days, rolling from pavement to gravel to dirt on multi-terrain adventures. The Thule Chariot can manage well-groomed trails too, but when adventure calls you onto two wheels, it transforms into a bike trailer and comes along for the ride. Hereβs how to choose.
How they compare
| Thule Chariot | BOB jogging stroller | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Stroller with adjustable suspension that converts to a bike trailer | Three-wheel stroller with air tires and suspension |
| Seats | 1 child (ours is a single) | 1 child |
| Trails, gravel, roots | Good, but better on well-groomed trails | Best |
| Biking the Valley Trail | Yes, as a bike trailer | No |
| Running | No (ours doesnβt include the jogging kit) | Yes |
| Winter | Ski kit available for cross-country trails | Handles cleared paths |
| Weather protection | Fully enclosed, with a mesh cover and a rain cover, both included | Canopy and rain cover |
| Fold | The largest, so best for bigger cars. Still fits in the back of smaller cars, and the wheels pop off easily | Works for any car or truck |
| Rental from | $22/day | $17/day |
Why families love the Thule Chariot
Itβs the one piece of gear that does a whole Sea to Sky day. Push it as a stroller around the Village, then hitch it to your bike and ride the Valley Trail to Lost Lake. The mesh cover keeps bugs out on sunny days, and the rain cover goes on when a coastal shower rolls in. Both come with the rental. In winter, add the cross-country ski kit for the Lost Lake or Callaghan Nordic trails.
Planning to tow it? Check your bikeβs rear axle first. We include a thru-axle adapter for most modern mountain bikes; see the Chariot page for sizes.
Why families love the BOB
The BOB Revolution is the one to reach for when the day could go anywhere. Air tires and suspension make it the best of the two on trails, gravel and roots, and itβs just as comfortable on bike paths, the dike trails and city streets, or weaving through the farmers market.
It handles the Squamish Estuary, Four Lakes Trail and the Village Stroll easily, itβs the one to rent if youβre running, and thereβs a rain cover for when showers are in the forecast.
Why rent instead of buy?
A Thule Chariot or BOB is a big purchase if you only need it for a family trip. Renting gets you the right gear for your days in the Sea to Sky, without the price tag.
- Donβt buy for one trip. Rent the stroller that suits your plans, then hand it back when youβre done.
- Try before you buy. Deciding between brands? Test a Thule or a BOB on real trails before you spend hundreds.
- Travel light. Skip airline baggage fees and keep your car free for the people.
- Clean and easy. Every stroller is deep cleaned with non-toxic products and inspected before and after each rental, so thereβs no cleaning for you to do.
Rent yours in Squamish
Both are available to rent, delivered in Squamish or ready for porch pickup on your way to Whistler. Weβll coordinate a pickup time that fits your drive.
