The Hartan VIP XL is a full-sized stroller with a possibility to create a stroller system. The chassis with a low center of gravity offers a rather compact fold. After the redesign of the seat covers, the VIP XL has been replaced by the VIP GT.

The smooth ride of the stroller is ensured by the elaborate suspension system with an option to regulate the level of shock-absorbing. The front swivel wheels are smaller and suitable for city walks, but they can handle the occasional terrain use. The Wippmatic brake is activated by pushing the red button and released by pushing the green one. The brake can be complemented with the optional decelerative handbrake. Another option to choose from when buying the stroller is a leather-covered handlebar.

The seat unit is softly padded with a thermoinsulative type of fabric which is also fully washable. The seat unit can be reclined flat. It is also possible to extend the leg rest which will increase the total length of the seat. The robust hood featuring a pocket will protect your child against the elements. There is also a ventilation part convenient during hot days. You can create a stroller system suitable from birth by purchasing either one of two carrycots inserted in the seat - the Soft, transformable into a footmuff, or the reinforced Kombi - or with the hard, foldable carrycot Falt. Using adapters, you can also attach a car seat. The VIP XL was also released in a special s.Oliver edition.

parents say thx^^

A practical solution for moms without a lift

janiex32 - 24 Feb 2024

Quality of materials and workmanship
Survives multiple generations, I'm going to put it away for the next baby
Seat part goes to full recline
More compact folding
The 2018 model has a larger shopping basket and suspension on all 4 wheels

Stroller weight 13,9
The frame is folded separately - it is necessary to unclip the seat and fold the chassis
It's sturdier and more durable - for moms who are going to walk on rougher terrain. I bought a lightweight second stroller for quick transfers around town

The 2018 model has a larger storage basket, suspension on all 4 wheels. More compact folding compared to other Hartans. Seat goes inup tolying down, together with an insert cot - bag it's a practical solution for moms without a lift.

Absolutely no reservations

Absolutely no reservations. 100 % functionality and quality.

The only stroller in the village that lit up

danot284 - 21 Sep 2022

it is compatible with the Cybex carseat, which is an advantage, because you can adjust it even to a lying position when your baby falls asleep in the carseat
LED light on the bassinet is a great advantage in winter, thanks to it we were visible to cars and people
leather, easily cleanable surface
adjustable handle for shorter and taller people
suitable for any elevator

expensive, but high quality

The pram was great. The wheels were very good - they still look like new. The advantage was the leather, and also that the handle could be moved with both sides. So it was also suitable for a taller person, but even a little girl could push it.

The LED lights on the bassinet were a great advantage in winter - we were visible to cars. The only stroller in the village that lit up :-)

Very heavy and impractical

moncici89 - 13 Jun 2022

Handbrake

Heavy
Bad manipulation

We had it for a short time and we passed it on right away. It is very heavy and impractical.

I loved this pram

kikiluki - 12 Oct 2020

easy to steer
good folding system
superb quality

none for me

I loved this pram. I had the Bellybutton edition - blue & white combination that I sold with a heavy heart after a year and a half of everyday use.
