Yes loop mount and chroot works also very good. For example:
   mkdir /mnt/colinux
   mount rootfs.img /mnt/colinux -o loop,rw,exec,dev
   mount --bind /proc /mnt/colinux/proc
   mount --bind /dev /mnt/colinux/proc
   chroot /mnt/colinux /bin/sh
inside chroot colinux switch to your coLinuxUser:
   cd /home/coLinuxUser
   su coLinuxUser

Without the bind mount for /dev, you need to create some basic devices 
(null, zero, tty1, tty2...)
This way I use to create and check coLinux image files.
