Parent reviews of the 4baby Rapid Unique
- Portable, practically foldable into the trunk of the car
- Easy handling
- Easy manipulation
- The hood can be opened either normal or almost completely covering the baby (extended), which is a very good feature during sunny days
- Transparent window on the hood, through which you can see the baby, because the handle of the stroller is not rotatable
- Spacious basket
- At the back of the hood pocket with magnetic closure, for wallet, documents, keys, etc.
- Swivel front wheels with locking
- Cup or bottle holder
- Rain cover as a part of the stroller package
- A big plus is definitely the low price
- The buckle for reclining the backrest does not always work as it should
- Wheels cannot be bought different, no choice of material
- The bag has to be purchased, it is not part of the package
Very good quality/price ratio. We bought it because our big stroller is heavy and untidy, it doesn't fit in the trunk of my car (sedan) and I can't even lift it myself. This stroller is smart and practical, especially for strolling around the city, when you need to run errands or go shopping. I also use it when I go to the doctors - quick to unfold, quick to fold. Control without problems.
Super easy to fold. Large and spacious, storage basket is big enough.
- Light
- Wears down quickly
I don't recommend it. The hood faded after one year. Poor quality materials, my warranty claim was not accepted...
- The canopy can be opened a lot
- Lie-flat is almost horizontal
- Narrow - I can go through any door, fit in the lift...
- Large basket under the stroller
- Can be steered with one hand when baby is asleep
- Over time it started to squeak, lubrication helped, but it is necessary to do regularly
- The color dried out a lot in the sun (we had it with us in Greece though)
- Not for off-road
For the money, great... it has done its service.
- Large hood
- Wheels
- Narrow
It was small for us, my son is bigger for his age and he was a bit squeezed in it. The wheels are looking like worn out after the first ride, the advantage is the long hood and large shopping basket. It didn't meet my expectations as much as I liked it - I wouldn't buy a second time. It lasted a month and I have passed it on.
