Hauck Travel N Care

The cheap Kinderkraft Indy-like ultracompact
.eli
see 6 parent reviews

The Hauck Travel N Care is a 2022 release of a budget-friendly ultra-compact stroller very similar to the Polish Kinderkraft Indy (most probably made in the same factory or based on the same design). This affordable travel buggy folds with one hand while, on paper, offering durabiôlity of up to 22 kg in the seat (25 kg overall, if you take the 3 kg basket capacity into consideration).

This lightweight (6.8 kg), ultra-compact stroller will suit you as a secondary stroller to be used even from a small baby if you need that, as it does recline up to an almost full recline (the recline of more than 150 degrees, which it has, is considered baby-friendly). There's also the adjustable leg rest, the individual wheel suspension, and compatibility with sold-separately Hauck accessories making this quite a simple pushchair more comfortable (no accessories are included in the price).

parents say thx^^

It is a waste of money and not a safe-to-use buggy

1.0
  • nothing

Please save yourself some mones and distress before buying this product! I have bought it a month ago and have used it once, and the strap which secures my son in the chair broke, then the side or if so my son can't lie on it or sit up because the buggy leans on one side and the wheel has a dent in it. Have been sending emails and pictures to the manufacturer who won't refund me or fix this buggy or replace it, he /she is not willing to make any efforts despite me sending 10 emails with clear pictures. It is a waste of money and not a safe-to-use buggy and the person selling it doesn't care about this!

Almost killed my child

Almost killed my child.

Not great for the money

  • Light
  • Basket hits the curb as too low
  • Bolts are loose

Not great for the money. Had for two months, and a bolt has come out and lost, so no longer able to use. Paid £149.

OK for malls

Simple. OK for malls. I liked the price.

Quite simple

3
  • light, compact
  • easy to fold
  • easy to store
  • affordable
  • wobbly wheels
  • push could be smoother
  • not for terrain
  • not roomy for larger kids
  • cheap fabrics and plastics
  • small basket
  • definitely not for kids at the maximum of weight capacity (cannot imagine a 22kg child fitting in the seat)
  • fixed handlebar

It is quite simple, and definitely not for bad terrain or for large, heavy toddlers. On the other hand, if you need a ride for a smaller child and something not making up your car trunk while not costing you a fortune, it is ok.

Really nice for the price, small. Don't expect too much and you'll be happy with it. We have it for occasional short trips + for our holiday. Not a very spacious buggy, for around 1 to 2 years of age.
