But don't just take our word for it - our testers used the stroller with their children, reporting their findings back to us below. Check it out!

Testing the Hauck Travel N Care Stroller

Our testers found the Travel N Care Stroller was very simple to put together - just slot the wheels on and go! "I loved the one handed fold mechanism, it was very intuitive to use - I didn’t need to read any instructions before using it which is essential for any parent where time is premium," said one tester. "When we were out & about we were next to a family with the Jools Aer and they look like very similar pushchairs, so the biggest selling point of this one is that it’s less than half the price of it’s more premium rival," they claimed, going on to say "I love that the covers are removable & washable as we all know how much toddlers adore snacks! It was extremely comfortable for my 2 year old - so much so she refused to get out of it!"

The tester also appreciated that the backrest is easily adjustable for naps, and loved the peekaboo window for keeping an eye on your baby. The lap bar was appreciated as a favoured addition of theirs, as it’s often an extra add on with other brands. They finished by saying "we loved the adjustable footrest as it made for a more comfortable ride for my little one. Premium stroller at a budget price!"

Another tester found the stroller really compact and easy to open, especially if you’re on your own! "I like that you can sling it over your shoulder easily too," they said. "It’s a very nice looking stroller, lies quite flat for naps and the sun shade covers right over - probably more so than other strollers I’ve used, so it's nice to have extra shading in the sun". They praised the colour options, particularly the olive option, and thought that the basket below was a good size. They highlighted that it was smooth to push along too. Overall, they said they were very pleased with this product and would definitely recommend.

"I recently transitioned from a two-part travel system and it feels like this has many of the features I liked from the travel system, without the bulk," said another satisfied tester, highlighting that "the design is stylish, simple and sleek". They found that manoeuvrability was light, but feels sturdy. The wheel swivel is smooth and the suspension handled both the city and rural domain equally well in the tester's opinion. "The braking system is neat, quick and easy to apply," they stated, going on to highlight that "the one handed fold is easy and simple and when folded the system is light, compact and small for storage - it's handy that it doesn’t take up too much boot space".

"As a mum of three, I do not travel light and found the larger basket quite spacey compared to other strollers I have used in the past," said the satisfied tester. "I liked the good size UV protected hood, with the added benefit of a peek-a-boo window. When my son was asleep I was able to fully recline the seat, but keep an eye on him through the peek-a-boo window". The bumper bar was mentioned as a particular favourite feature for their child, as he liked to pop his feet up and hold on to the bar when travelling around.

One tester highlighted that it folded compact, is easy to manoeuvre and the seat sits very upright compared to others of this style. "This Travel N Care Stroller is brilliant I would definitely recommend to a friend or fellow mum," she said, continuing to say that "my toddler is very happy in this and can also nap as it lies flat. I like the olive green colour I received."

Another pleased parent said they found the stroller quick and easy to put up and collapse, which is essential when travelling with children. "It doesn’t take up as much space in my boot as our bigger pram so it’s a great stroller to take on holiday or on days out when you need to fill your boot with other things!" they said. They also found it suitable for everyday use, as it can be stored standing up in the hallway. They went on to say "I loved the carrying strap too, great idea for travelling when you need to have your hands free for your children. Despite being a compact pushchair the basket is a decent size so again, it’s perfect for days out or holidays."

"We had an older compact stroller (Mamas & Papas Acro) & this was a definite upgrade," one tester told us, going on to say that "my daughter was so much more comfortable in it and the adjustable footrest was a particular benefit". It was really easy for that parent to handle, felt robust despite being light and they said they could imagine choosing this over our bigger pram in a lot of situations. The harness felt a lot sturdier than other ones they had experience with, and it was also comfortable for their little one.

Final thoughts

The Hauck Travel N Care Stroller is a great lightweight and compact stroller which is perfect for travelling with. It folds down with just one hand to a small size thanks to the self-closing transport lock and can be carried by the padded shoulder strap, if your child is wanting to walk. Although some have said the hood could benefit from being extended to cover a bit more, overall it's an impressive stroller that will last you for many years if treated well. It also includes a large storage basket at the bottom for you to easily store the essentials when out and about, which is always handy.
