The 4baby Rapid is an affordable light stroller designed for the city. Using the strap, you can recline the seat flat. Even when the backrest is reclined, you can reach the large shopping basket as the back side can be folded away. The stroller comes with a matching footmuff. You can identify the older models by their fixed handle and hoods without visors.

Enough for undemanding mommies

3
  • the biggest advantage with a child over one year old is the upright seat, which I missed with most of the other strollers I tried
  • a huge basket
  • adjustable handle
  • design
  • price
  • it's really a stroller for the city, it's harder to control, it handles the terrain with difficulty
  • absolutely bulky - folds easily, but takes up a lot of space
  • when fully lying down I can't get into the basket

4baby is my third stroller, as I have a Mutsy complaint to settle, I had to make it work. It cost very little (new), with a leg cover, so for that price I didn't expect miracles... You can feel it when I compare a moe expensive stroller with this one.

It has a beautiful design, a perfect canopy size, but it's bulky and hard to ride on the terrain. Especially with a 12kg baby (I haven't tried it with a lighter one). I think that for the price I am very satisfied, it's really enough for undemanding mommies.

Anyway, I can't even compare it with expensive models. It is felt that it is a low price category, so don't expect much. The baby is very satisfied, the stroller is comfortable. The large shopping basket is a pleasure, I can fit half of my shopping load in there 😉

Ideal for travelling

Quickly foldable, ideal for travelling.

Wonderful for shopping

  • Lightweight
  • Large canopy
  • Large basket
  • Compact for the car
  • Easy to handle with one hand
  • Stumbling on the brake (!)
  • Pebbles are getting stuck in the rubber wheels
  • Rattles on uneven surfaces
  • Unsuitable for the forest

Compact and lightweight, more suitable for city walks. Wonderful for shopping.

I wouldn't buy this model again

2
  • takes up little space wen folded
  • bad to push
  • bad, cheap materials
  • no suspension

I wouldn't buy this model again.

Awesome

  • Large basket
  • Lie flat seat
  • Light weight
  • None

Awesome.

Lightweight, compact, huge storage basket

3
  • lightweight
  • compact
  • large basket
  • can be put in full lie-flat
  • non-adjustable handle
  • not very good reclining system

Lightweight, compact, huge storage basket. What I specifically don't like is that it is only put in the lying position with the "drawstring" system, and also that you can't move the handle, so one trips over the brake.

Great price

4
  • light
  • well designed belts
  • washable
  • canopy can be pulled all the way down
  • not suitable for worse terrain or cobblestones in the city (which I knew beforehand)

Great price, usually these types are quite expensive. I was also impressed with the colour scheme and it is very lightweight. The wheels are a problem for me, but they can be adjusted so they don't spin. When my son moves, the buggy goes sideways and is hard to steer.

Super stroller at a super price

4
  • super easy to use
  • weight is just over 6 kg
  • smart
  • quickly foldable
  • spacious
  • the turquoise colour is beautifully vibrant
  • we are happy 😍
  • occasional stumbling on the brake
  • the top window bothers my little one, so we have a diaper draped over the top

Great stroller for the road, but also for moderate terrain. So far it has gone over everything 😀 Little one likes it. Super stroller at a super price, I recommend it 😊

So far so good

4
  • Large canopy against the sun
  • Large storage basket
  • Lightweight and compact for the car
  • Insulated footmuff
  • Adjustable handle, handle height 108 cm
  • Smaller rattling wheels
  • Not really suitable for winter
  • Can't get into the basket when the backrest is reclined

We have had the stroller for about 2 weeks, so far so good. We needed a lightweight, nimble stroller for walking into town, which the 4baby Rapid is. In my opinion, it is definitely not suitable for winter because of the smaller wheels (they also rattle a bit). The height of the handle (108 cm) suits my height of 180 cm as well.

Poor quality

1.0
  • ??? there are none
  • It's small - max 80 cm, my 11 month old won't fit in it
  • It rattles, it's about to fall apart
  • In the sand and on the pebbles it'd rather break a wheel than go through it
  • I've read it's up to 35 kilos... can't even carry 12
  • Poor quality

I don't recommend it!!!
