Hauck Infinity Review

Hauck InfinityThe Infinity appears to be Hauk's economic answer to the Bugaboo Cameleon. It's packed full of features and has many matching accessories available, some of which are included in certain packages.

The Infinity’s main feature is its forward/rear facing seat - this for many parents is one of the key features that they look for when buying a pushchair. It has a five point harness, adjustable handle, rear pneumatic tyres, front swivel wheels, shopping basket, removable front bar, padded canvas seats, multiple position seat, handy storage pockets at the back of the pushchair, hood that has plastic clips to keep it open, fully removable and washable covers, fully lockable brake system and is suitable from birth.

The Hauck Infinity is a very well thought out pushchair; the attention to detail impressed me. I love to find new things on a pushchair, like a clip to hold your keys, or an elastic pocket for your Childs drink, things like this make me think a lot of thought was put into the design, and more importantly, giving parents a well made pushchair, at under half the price of some other pushchairs.

When you have a car seat on top of the Infinity's chassis (and you can get adapters to fit different types of car seats) it is a dream to push. The wheels move immediately in the direction you point them and you could push with one finger (should you feel the need) yet it is still a tough enough, to carry all the shopping.

There are many things I love about the Infinity, but for me (apart from the rear facing adjustable seat) it was that when I put my 4 month old baby in the pushchair, she wasn’t sitting in this huge oversized seat with straps up around her neck. She was comfortable and secure but there was still plenty of room for growth.

The Infinity covers all the requirements of a travel system with ease and style, but the great part is that should you not require the carry cot, the car seat adaption and pushchair will become the travel system. Weighing in at 11kg it is a lightweight pushchair that folds up easily and if you remove the pushchair seat, fits into some of the smallest boots.

However, quite quickly I found that it started to creak and I lost a couple of screws from it which I've seen from other reviews is a common issue. It's biggest flaw I think is that when you try and fold it up the pushchair, with it facing towards you, it doesn’t fold flat and it takes a little bit of force to fold it down as the hood and frame of the pushchair rubs against the frame of the chassis.

The infinity is not the Bugaboo Cameleon, and nor should it be purchased in the hope that it is, (there is a price difference for a reason of course) but should you decide to buy it as a complete travel system or as just a pushchair and car seat, it will prove itself to be the only travel system you need from birth to toddler, with no need for a smaller buggy later on.

I rate the Hauk Infinity 4/5
