chariots are great; especially if you want to try the skis, etc. although xc skiing with it doesn't last more than a season or two…they get mighty bored in there
we bought ours used they hold their value great. ours is a double (twins) and is a huge pain navigating on the streets/pathways. but eventually one or more kid will want to jump in and get towed home after a tiring ride, and we can fit all 3 in there (barely). but we find it great for say rolling up to the beach, playground, etc with all our stuff in it. these days we use it more for pushing around than towing
our ibert had a very limited timespan due to rapidly growing kid and dad with long legs
