Anybody heard of Hauck infant car seat and strollers? Though they have been around for a really long time (not in Malaysia) There isn't seems to be much reviews around even from oveasea. Just saw hauck at the fair, the mechanism seems very similar to Britax the price is slightly lower though and the infant car seat does have the ECE 44 certificate, but dare not buy....coz not much review

Never buy combo as it is not convenient at all.

Why is it not convenient? Just click-on the seat to the strollers if needed, otherwise carry. When baby outgrown the infant seat, just buy another convertible car seat and the stroller can still be used up to 4 years old or so

Is it advisable to go straight into a car seat 0-4yrs old or should I start with the infant carrier first? Not sure what the difference are since there are many that has the infant inset for car seat. Then again, I've read that infant carrier does have a better incline posture to support baby's spine, but I was thinking if a car seat is ECE certify and have the infant inset and it is for 0-4years, shouldn't it also be contoured for newborn posture?

Choosing infant seat or convertible is a matter of convenience, a lifestyle choice. As long as your baby is heavier and taller than the weight and height limits of the carseat you choose, whether you choose infant seat or convertible makes no difference to your baby's safety.

I've used a Hauck stroller. Very well made and well designed. I love my Hauck stroller. Dunno much about their car seats. Why don't you ask the people at the fair if they can demo the carseat installation? See how hellish it is to install. The most important thing with car seats is always getting it installed correctly.

hey thanks, they did demo it to me, looks very easy and it was secured to their demo seat, just that I'm not sure if it would be secured to my car seat.

The hauck stroller is heavier than other's - 10kg Vs others around 8.5kg, but it is very sturdy and very easily to collapsed - just pull on the strap at the seat and to unlock, just lift the clip at the side and lift the seat - very much like the britax.

Was thinking about their Hauck Lift Up 4 but not sure about the car seat though

How long have you been using your hauck Stroller? still as sturdy?

I'm not a heavy stroller user. Only take out to use occasionally, but it's nearly 3 years old and still functioning well. No jamming when opening or closing and no tears in the fabric or dents, cracks or breaks to the frame.

Isn't that true for most reputable strollers? I've been using the Anakku foldable design similar to Halford stroller for close to 5 years. My kids outgrew it so now I have an old stroller sitting at home and everything still works. Whats more the way I washed it was : high pressure water jet spray + dynamo scrubdown + plenty of sun. flex.gif

I personally think if you're looking for a stroller and you're comparing reputable brands, just buy whichever suites your budget and requirements. Maclaren makes pretty good lightweight mobile strollers for frequent travellers. Stokke makes awesome stylo-milo strollers that weigh a tonne. Anakku is the cheap and cheerful but appropriate padding strollers. Etc.

I think for stroller questions, really you should go ask in the stroller thread. This thread is for carseat discussions. Two or three posts are ok, but more than that is just inconsiderate to other people who want to read about carseats, not strollers.

Mine came with my carseat. I haven't been able to find any in Malaysia. You may have to order through amazon.com or other overseas store. It's always a good idea in Malaysia to look for carseats with either built-in lockoffs or make sure the carseat provides a lockoff.

Do anyone had experience whereby you have bought a carseat for your baby, but he/she do not want to sit on it? Had few friends selling off their expensive car seats cause thier baby don't feel comfortable in it. How to know whether your baby like it or not? Test and put your baby in it?

I'm currently looking at a budget one "Koopers: Step Convertible Car Seat". Anyone had tried before?

My baby didn't want to take bottle when I first went back to work. Then he didn't want to take any other milk except breastmilk, even though he was already one years old. Then, he didn't want to wean, even though he was already two years old. But I couldn't breastfeed forever.

I did whatever I had to do, at every stage necessary. That's what parenting is about. Knowing what's necessary for your child and teaching your child to accept it, slowly and steadily, even though they don't like it.

Carseats are for your child's SAFETY. You should not compromise safety for comfort. I would rather drive for only 20 minutes at a time, with my baby crying the whole time, than my baby be exposed to harm.

That being said, there are ways to help your child be more comfortable or at least to learn to accept the carseat. This is the most helpful article to me: http://thecarseatlady.com/keeping-your-kids-happy/

This is quite a bit of a rant but I've been going around the Penang island looking for either Britax or Cybex ISOFIX car seats but found none of them being sold at all.

I'm particularly looking for either the Britax TRIFIX / VERSAFIX or the Cybex PALLAS M-FIX due to my Joie Stages being transferred over to my 2yo boy's babsitter's car.

hanishoney, do you happen to know of any shop / online store that sells them? I've Googled but nothing constructive appeared. sad.gif

Hey there. I guess you're the owner of tinytoes.info? Just checking if you'll be bringing any of the Britax ISOFIX car seats? How about the Cybex Pallas-M series? smile.gif
