Best Deals for Hauck Rapid 4S
Parent reviews of the Hauck Rapid 4S
- in the text part of the review
- an infinite amount of recline position, but the upright position is not very upright
- the folding handle is on the seat, and since I am using a seat liner, I always have to go under it to find the handle
- the seat folds outwards, meaning the crumbs do fall off, but in the car boot, the pushchair can get dirty
Lightweight and easy to maneuver. Nice high weight capacity, making it suitable for an older toddler too. We also needed - and appreciated with this model, that the handlebar can be adjusted - every pushchair should have this feature. The basket is easy to access. There is also a pocket for your bits and pieces in the back of the canopy.
There are a few drawbacks, but in the end, it's a nice brand of a pushchair for a nice price. You only get a cup holder with this pushchair, no rain cover, or leg cover. I wish the rain cover would be there, though...
- extended canopy
- lightweight
- compact
- high weight capacity, so good also for older toddlers
- perfect folding system
- they could have more colors to choose from, but I am OK with our black one
The best stroller I could buy for my one-year-old son. It's lightweight, folds comfortably with one hand, fits in the trunk of a small car. The maneuverability is nice, it can handle even some all-terrain, and for the city, it's ideal.
The seat features an extended canopy with UPF50+ sun protection. Its material is waterproof. It can be fully reclined and has a weight capacity of up to 22 kg, which is great - I suppose I won't need another stroller.
Wheels are smaller, made of foam, but covered with a rubber layer, so there is no puncture, nor will you have a problem with them getting full of small stones. They still look like new, even though I am not very gentle while using the stroller. The basket I use for shopping or any essential items is spacious and easy to access even when the baby is sleeping, and the backrest is reclined. The adjustable handle and the included cup holder is just a bonus to this awesome stroller. For me, a perfect choice for a reasonable price.
Maximum satisfaction. We didnt encounter any problems during its use.
Your questions about the Hauck Rapid 4S
Hello,
I would like to know if I buy a stroller only and a car seat, would I be able to put the car seat in the stroller? Would it fit?
Hey, Deimante,
I am not sure what you mean. The Hauck Rapid 42 stroller does accept a car seat, but ONLY a Hauck car seat. The fitting car seat is usually included in the Trio Set (3in1) or in the Shop N Drive 2in1 travel system (= pushchair + capsule). Usually, the car seat included is the Hauck Comfort Fix (and it does have an OK ADAC result, no worries).
Just any car seat, e.g., a Maxi-Cosi or a Cybex, will NOT fit this buggy, unfortunately. The Hauck strollers are mostly made for Hauck car seats only.
