Best Deals for Hauck Rapid 4
Parent reviews of the Hauck Rapid 4
- easy to fold
- canopy too short
- backseat very unstable and not easy to recline and adjust
- heavy stroller to travel with
- wheels of foam were peeping after 3 times of usage
- the window through the canopy allows you to see your child only while asleep
Easy to fold, however still heavy and not really compact. The canopy is rather short, could have been longer. The backseat is not easy to adjust in a lying position and back again. I had therefore sent it back and ordered the Espiro Galaxy.
