Best Deals for Hauck Rapid 3
Parent reviews of the Hauck Rapid 3
- easy to close and open
- large canopy
- spacious seat
- foam wheels
- the wheels squeak in case of dirt
A good stroller for all-terrain use. It managed to do trips to mountains, forests, meadows with us... It is easy to fold, and the weight is also acceptable. Occasionally, when there is dirt in the wheels, it begins to squeak.
Your questions about the Hauck Rapid 3
Hello.
I have a Hauck 3 Rapid stroller. I want to clean the canopy in the washing machine. I managed to detach the canopy from the stroller, but I can't get it off from the 3 metal bars it comes attached to. Is there even this possibility?
Thank you.
Hey, Alina,
No, the hood is not supposed to be removed nor washed in the washing machine - it can get damaged and also fade. The stroller is meant to be handwasged only.
Here's a stroller cleaning and maintenance guide if you'd need any tips.
Is this suitable for a 5 year old?
Hi, Sjj,
No, not really. The stroller had quite a few bad reviews about its lower quality, so it may be such a strain - higher eight, larger child - may make the push truly uncomfortable and the frame get damaged. In theory, you can kind of fit a 5yo in, but I personally would not go for such a use with this lower-quality, cheaper stroller.
Can you attach a Maxi Cosi car seat to this stroller, and if so, what adapter would I need?
Hi, Belin,
Unfortunately no, you cannot attach any car seat to this stroller.
And overall, Hauck strollers mostly only accept Hauck car seats.
