Hauck Viper SLX
The Hauck Viper SLX is a newer version of the original Viper. It is a three-wheel stroller with a chassis with larger foam wheels, which are somewhat less robust and have lighter rims. The non-reversible seat with a high weight capacity can handle even a bigger child. It is fully reclinable, suitable even for the smaller ones. The large shopping basket is also accessible when the seat is reclined, thanks to the unzippable part. You will no longer find any side windows on the extendable hood. The stroller is either sold separately, in a travel system with a car seat (Hauck Viper SLX Shop´n Drive), in a 2in1 stroller system with a carrycot (Hauck Viper SLX Duo Set) or, most commonly, in a 3in1 stroller system with a carrycot and a car seat Hauck Viper SLX Trio Set.

Best Deals for Hauck Viper SLX
Parent reviews of the Hauck Viper SLX
- Easy to push
- Easy to steer
- A bit large for some cars
One review says only suitable for travel because its small...they must have a massive boot then. I think they are commenting on a different buggy..
The Hauck Viper slx is quite a big one and I have seen somewhere only suitable if baby is over 6 months.
- No-maintenance, no-inflating wheels with a very nice size, good even for more demanding terrain conditions
- Lightweight chassis
- Ease of maneuverability, folding, unfolding
- Fits even in a small elevator
- Car seat, carrycot, and seat unit click on the chassis directly, no need for adapters
- Because of the low weight, this three-wheeler is less stable in the front part where the single wheel is located
- Car seat, carrycot, and seat unit only click on in one direction - and the handlebar also doesn't reverse, which is a downside in, e.g., windy weather
- Lower quality of materials, but it reflects the price of the stroller
A handy stroller that also looks good - and the price is very good. A three-wheeler and a 3in1 combination set with nice wheel size.
- compact
- adjustable backrest
- maneuverability
- big wheels
- smaller stroller, I do not recommend it for everyday use
- non-reversible
This is a great stroller for holidays or traveling - when it is not possible to take a bigger-sized stroller. It is compact and can fit into a small car car boot. It is easy to fold and unfold, and has a large shopping basket underneath. Since the seat can be fully reclined, it is also suitable for smaller babies. Three wheels ensure easy maneuverability, e.g., in narrow shop aisles. The backrest can be positioned in an unlimited number of positions.
Your questions about the Hauck Viper SLX
I have a Hauck Viper SLX 2021 model. The back wheel is damaged and I have requested for replacement parts but they are not shipped in my location. I have tried to find online but could not find it. Need help
Hi, Nick,
Sorry, but I cannot help you here. Only the manufacturer and/or the seller that sold you the stroler can order these for you. If they won't, I believe you will have to get a new stroller.
