- Lightweight
- Very good maneuverability
- Great price-performance ratio
- Extendable canopy
- Slight suspension
- Full recline
- Spacious, accessible storage basket
- Only three positions of the (rotating) handlebar
- The front bumper bar is quite low-positioned - I don't think it surrounds and protects the child enough. When my DS tried to turn or leaned on the side, I was afraid of him possibly falling out
- The brake is in an arched form, so I kicked it when walking quickly or ran down a hill
- The recline is strap-operated, which is not a negative point by itself, but I don't like that even when fully upright, the backrest is still angled, half sitting
- The folding/carrying strap is located on the sitting part, and it was not comfortable for my son to sot on - we had to get a padded seat liner to make it better
We bought this stroller as our third. I would like to establish that the price was essential for us, and we wanted a new one - also to have the warranty if something happens.
OIt is very lightweight and easy to push even one-handedly. There is slight suspension, so it will be ok in the city as well as on an average road in the woods. Since it's a three-wheeled stroller, it was a bit problematic in the forest, when going off the regular route. But, to be honest, we went through so many surfaces that any other stroller would have problems, that it's nothing really.
We checked reviews of this model before purchasing it, so we knew the pros and cons beforehand - but I personally like to try and form my own opinion. Therefore, here, I put my own knowledge to take into account when deciding.
- rubber wheels
- nice maneuverability (better on smooth surfaces though)
- price
- the seat is not too upwards when in the sitting position
- wheel problems
- could be more padded, the seat - it feels cheap
- leg rest - not well made
I bought it for the school run. I expected more. Not the best three-wheeler there is - the front wheel was not too sturdy - it either doesn't swivel smoothly and gets stuck, or it swivels wildly in all the direction. I guess you get what you pay for.
A nice three-wheeled buggy for the price. I used it as a child-minder, and it works just fine. Nice to push even with an older child.
This pushchair is super quick to fold. Basket is large, but I miss some kind of small pocket in the back. I appreciate the huge hood that can even be extended some more. I would love it if the backrest went more upright, however. Also, the upholstery is soft, but on the other hand, it's waterproof - the leg rest is also covered in textiles, so when it gets dirty, you need to wash all of it (I would make it wipe clean).
The bumper bar can be removed; foam wheels easy to remove as well. They are quite large, so there's no problem with more demanding surfaces - and I find the suspension to be working great as well. I also like the brake across the whole rear part - I don't need to search for it when needing to stop (or unstop) the Rapid. I also like the locking system with which I am not afraid that the pushchair will open by itself while being unloaded from the car. The handlebar is adjustable; however, it only offers a few limited positions (but that's not too bad).
I mind those plastic parts a little. They seem a bit cheaply made and not too sturdy. For that price, though, I am quite happy with it. I am also happy with the high weight capacity since my son is quite big for his age 😄
