Testing the Hauck Travel N Care Stroller

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. When we were out & about we were next to a family with the Jools Aer and they look 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. 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 backrest is easily adjustable for naps and I love the peekaboo window for keeping an eye on your baby. The lap bar is also a good addition as it’s often an extra add on. Finally, we loved the adjustable footrest as it made for a more comfortable ride for my little one. Premium stroller at a budget price!

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. 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 extra shading in the sun. Had the olive green colour which is lovely and am aware it comes in other nice colours too. The basket below is a good size. It’s smooth to push along too. Overall 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.The design is stylish, simple and sleek.Manoeuvrability is light, but feels sturdy. The wheel swivel is smooth and the suspension handled both the city and rural domain equally well. The breaking system is neat, quick and easy to apply. The one handed fold is easy and simple and when folded is light, compact and small for storage and 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. 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 a particular favourite feature for my son, he liked to pop his feet up and hold on to the bar when travelling around.

This Travel N Care Stroller is brilliant I would definitely recommend to a friend of fellow mum. It folds compact, is easy to manoeuvre and the seat sits very upright compared to others of this style. My toddler is very happy in this and can also nap as it lies flat. I like the olive green colour I received.

It’s quick and easy to put up & 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! It’s also great for everyday as it can be stored standing up in the hallway. 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 - my daughter was so much more comfortable in it and the adjustable footrest was a particular & It was really easy to handle, felt robust despite being light and I can imagine us choosing this over our bigger pram in a lot of situations. The harness felt a lot sturdier than other ones we’ve tried and it was also comfortable for our 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.

The travel N Care provides pure comfort with 4x suspended and agile wheels providing a smooth ride and adjustable seating and lying area, providing your child with plenty of room. It also comes with a canopy with UV protection from the sun and a peek-a-boo window, so that you can still see them. Although some have said the hood could benefit from being extended to cover a bit more. It also includes a large storage basket at the bottom for you to easily store the essentials when out and about.

Hauck Pacific 3

The Hauck Pacific 3 is a three-wheeled, premium version of the original Pacific , featuring a 2in1 type of seat that can be converted into a carrycot. Thanks to the three large wheels and a mild suspension, the stroller is easily maneuverable and can handle some uneven surfaces too. The rear axle is quite wide, which helps with the stability of the stroller.

The bucket seat can be reclined by tilting it as a whole unit. After releasing the straps, the seat can be transformed into a carrycot suitable from birth. The Pacific 3, as well as the four-wheeler Pacific 4 , is usually available as a Shop’n Drive travel system with a car seat that can be added directly onto the chassis.

In the three years creating Strollbery - for free, in our free time, we are proud to have helped thousands of parents from more than 207 countries. And helping is what we've cared about the most.

Being musicians as well, we created a special holiday song for you to share a wintery, Christmas vibe with us. We hope it brings you a bit of calm (we all need it). ♥️

HAPPY STROLLING AND MAGIC HOLIDAYS!

Does this come available without the car seat? I want mainly for the function of just jogging but still be able to use parent facing and do not need a car seat.

Hey, Sasha,

I will have to warn you that this is not a very comfortable jogging stroller, and even the manual says it is not suitable for that. So watch out as it can tip over.

About the non-travel-system option, it seems there are only "Shop n Drive" sets available, meaning only with the car seat, unfortunately.

Which Isofix base is compatible with the Pacific 3?

There is no Isofix base for a stroller. The Isofix base is only made for the car seat, and it depends on which car seat do you have. Many stroller can accommodate many types (models) or even brands of car seats, and again, the base for that car seat will only have to be for that particular car seat model. Some car seats don't even have the options of a base, Isofix or belted.

The Pacific often comes with the Zero Plus car seat (you need to check if that is the car seat you have) and that one unfortunately doesn't have a base option as far as I know.

What car seats are compatible with this pram?

Hello, Abbie,

You can only attach a particular Hauck car seat onto the frame. In particular, this was designed for the Hauck Zero Plus model, which comes in a set, and needs no adapters, as the attachment system there is made for this chassis.

Overall, Hauck brand makes their prams so that you buy the Shop n Drive system where the compatible car seat is included, and no other better-known car seat brands are usually compatible.

Is there an option to purchase a normal, non-foldable carrycot that would be compatible with this frame?

The reason I am asking is because this pushchair is convertible into a lie-flat brim birth cot, but it is not a standalone hard cot and you cannot take it off the frame with a sleeping baby in it and let’s say carry it around or put on a floor.

Thank you very much in advance.

Hiya, Sarah,

I am sorry to disappoint you but the Pacific doesn't offer that option, no. As a simpler, cheaper model, it only comes and is available with this 2in1 pramette seat/carrycot, no standalone carrycot, so you won't be able to pair it with a different one.

How to get free WiFi in Moscow

Moscow is the largest city of Russia and holds a prominent place in the country as the main economic, cultural, political andresearch centre.

There couldn’t be a better spot to spend your vacations than the artful city of Moscow; the reasons being many but the major one for being among one of the cities where free WiFi connections are blessed. The city being vastly connected to the World through various international airports and railways has an amazingly extensive internet connection around the city for the tourists who might want an access to the media zone as well as to their social network, but would appreciate to cut back on those awful internet charges, while delighting in the beauties of this city like Moscow Kremlin orIntourist Hotel Volgograd.

Moscow had been ranked as one an alpha global city streaming with countless tourists all-round the year, hencefinding free WiFi is not as difficult as it might sound. The capital of Russia has been conveniently blessed with 1178 free WiFi hotspots including various restaurants, coffeehouses, pubs, hotels; and quite surprisingly yet delightfully enough, these free WiFi connections are in access to public transportation, parklands, Moscow metro buses and many such open places where tourists and locals alike, pass through frequently and would want to enjoy their meals or coffees while posting check ins and photos for their Facebook circle!

The main internet service provider within the entire city is Beeline, Megafon and MTS. If curious about the connection’s security with respect to your personal details, for that is quite natural, have a look at the related websites and find out the best tariffs.

However, in the historical Moscow city, free wireless connections is operative only through the Beeline which is readily spread in many areas of the city. The only effort you need to put in is connect to the internet by the name of “Beeline WiFi” or “Beeline WiFi WPA “and experiment around a bit like putting up your laptop on the window-sill for a few minutes, orswinging around the mobile phone in blank airuntil you start getting a stable reception; and you’re all good to go. Beeline WiFi is the only service provider if you are travelling a bus or a trolleybus, which is quite common in Russia. Moreover, 300 routers providing free internet access have been allocated on public transportation. Another free WiFi arrangement could be leisurely enjoyed while moving in and out of the city through Moscow’s underground Metro system.As of now, MTS has taken the initiative to equip four out of fourteen  Moscow metro stations in the city, erasing off all that weariness of a subway, and what’s more; the data transfer is estimated to be more than 100Mb/s per train!

Fortunately, there are various places in Moscow covered soundly with commercial WiFi network, where you could freely relax, sipping on those savory Mors with your laptop connecting you to the social webs or checking up on your mails and letting you keep track of this fast-paced modern world that would definitely help in easily recording and creating a memorable travelogue.

In Transit: Notes from the Underground

Jun 06 2018.

Spend some time in one of Moscow’s finest museums.

Subterranean commuting might not be anyone’s idea of a good time, but even in a city packing the war-games treasures and priceless bejeweled eggs of the Kremlin Armoury and the colossal Soviet pavilions of the VDNKh , the Metro holds up as one of Moscow’s finest museums. Just avoid rush hour.

The Metro is stunning and provides an unrivaled insight into the city’s psyche, past and present, but it also happens to be the best way to get around. Moscow has Uber, and the Russian version called Yandex Taxi , but also some nasty traffic. Metro trains come around every 90 seconds or so, at a more than 99 percent on-time rate. It’s also reasonably priced, with a single ride at 55 cents (and cheaper in bulk). From history to tickets to rules — official and not — here’s what you need to know to get started.

A Brief Introduction Buying Tickets Know Before You Go (Down) Rules An Easy Tour

A Brief Introduction

Moscow’s Metro was a long time coming. Plans for rapid transit to relieve the city’s beleaguered tram system date back to the Imperial era, but a couple of wars and a revolution held up its development. Stalin revived it as part of his grand plan to modernize the Soviet Union in the 1920s and 30s. The first lines and tunnels were constructed with help from engineers from the London Underground, although Stalin’s secret police decided that they had learned too much about Moscow’s layout and had them arrested on espionage charges and deported.

The beauty of its stations (if not its trains) is well-documented, and certainly no accident. In its illustrious first phases and particularly after the Second World War, the greatest architects of Soviet era were recruited to create gleaming temples celebrating the Revolution, the USSR, and the war triumph. No two stations are exactly alike, and each of the classic showpieces has a theme. There are world-famous shrines to Futurist architecture, a celebration of electricity, tributes to individuals and regions of the former Soviet Union. Each marble slab, mosaic tile, or light fixture was placed with intent, all in service to a station’s aesthetic; each element, f rom the smallest brass ear of corn to a large blood-spattered sword on a World War II mural, is an essential part of the whole.

The Metro is a monument to the Soviet propaganda project it was intended to be when it opened in 1935 with the slogan “Building a Palace for the People”. It brought the grand interiors of Imperial Russia to ordinary Muscovites, celebrated the Soviet Union’s past achievements while promising its citizens a bright Soviet future, and of course, it was a show-piece for the world to witness the might and sophistication of life in the Soviet Union.

It may be a museum, but it’s no relic. U p to nine million people use it daily, more than the London Underground and New York Subway combined. (Along with, at one time, about 20 stray dogs that learned to commute on the Metro.)

In its 80+ year history, the Metro has expanded in phases and fits and starts, in step with the fortunes of Moscow and Russia. Now, partly in preparation for the World Cup 2018, it’s also modernizing. New trains allow passengers to walk the entire length of the train without having to change carriages. The system is becoming more visitor-friendly. (There are helpful stickers on the floor marking out the best selfie spots .) But there’s a price to modernity: it’s phasing out one of its beloved institutions, the escalator attendants. Often they are middle-aged or elderly women—“ escalator grandmas ” in news accounts—who have held the post for decades, sitting in their tiny kiosks, scolding commuters for bad escalator etiquette or even bad posture, or telling jokes . They are slated to be replaced, when at all, by members of the escalator maintenance staff.

For all its achievements, the Metro lags behind Moscow’s above-ground growth, as Russia’s capital sprawls ever outwards, generating some of the world’s worst traffic jams . But since 2011, the Metro has been in the middle of an ambitious and long-overdue enlargement; 60 new stations are opening by 2020. If all goes to plan, the 2011-2020 period will have brought 125 miles of new tracks and over 100 new stations — a 40 percent increase — the fastest and largest expansion phase in any period in the Metro’s history.

Facts: 14 lines Opening hours: 5 a.m-1 a.m. Rush hour(s): 8-10 a.m, 4-8 p.m. Single ride: 55₽ (about 85 cents) Wi-Fi network-wide

Buying Tickets

• Ticket machines have a button to switch to English.
• You can buy specific numbers of rides: 1, 2, 5, 11, 20, or 60. Hold up fingers to show how many rides you want to buy.
• There is also a 90-minute ticket , which gets you 1 trip on the metro plus an unlimited number of transfers on other transport (bus, tram, etc) within 90 minutes.
• Or, you can buy day tickets with unlimited rides: one day (218₽/ US$4), three days (415₽/US$7) or seven days (830₽/US$15). Check the rates here to stay up-to-date.
• If you’re going to be using the Metro regularly over a few days, it’s worth getting a Troika card , a contactless, refillable card you can use on all public transport. Using the Metro is cheaper with one of these: a single ride is 36₽, not 55₽. Buy them and refill them in the Metro stations, and they’re valid for 5 years, so you can keep it for next time. Or, if you have a lot of cash left on it when you leave, you can get it refunded at the Metro Service Centers at Ulitsa 1905 Goda, 25 or at Staraya Basmannaya 20, Building 1.
• You can also buy silicone bracelets and keychains with built-in transport chips that you can use as a Troika card. (A Moscow Metro Fitbit!) So far, you can only get these at the Pushkinskaya metro station Live Helpdesk and souvenir shops in the Mayakovskaya and Trubnaya metro stations. The fare is the same as for the Troika card.
• You can also use Apple Pay and Samsung Pay.

Rules, spoken and unspoken

No smoking, no drinking, no filming, no littering. Photography is allowed, although it used to be banned.

Stand to the right on the escalator. Break this rule and you risk the wrath of the legendary escalator attendants. (No shenanigans on the escalators in general.)

Get out of the way. Find an empty corner to hide in when you get off a train and need to stare at your phone. Watch out getting out of the train in general; when your train doors open, people tend to appear from nowhere or from behind ornate marble columns, walking full-speed.

Always offer your seat to elderly ladies (what are you, a monster?).

An Easy Tour

This is no Metro Marathon ( 199 stations in 20 hours ). It’s an easy tour, taking in most—though not all—of the notable stations, the bulk of it going clockwise along the Circle line, with a couple of short detours. These stations are within minutes of one another, and the whole tour should take about 1-2 hours.

Start at Mayakovskaya Metro station , at the corner of Tverskaya and Garden Ring,  Triumfalnaya Square, Moskva, Russia, 125047.

1. Mayakovskaya.  Named for Russian Futurist Movement poet Vladimir Mayakovsky and an attempt to bring to life the future he imagined in his poems. (The Futurist Movement, natch, was all about a rejecting the past and celebrating all things speed, industry, modern machines, youth, modernity.) The result: an Art Deco masterpiece that won the National Grand Prix for architecture at the New York World’s Fair in 1939. It’s all smooth, rounded shine and light, and gentle arches supported by columns of dark pink marble and stainless aircraft steel. Each of its 34 ceiling niches has a mosaic. During World War II, the station was used as an air-raid shelter and, at one point, a bunker for Stalin. He gave a subdued but rousing speech here in Nov. 6, 1941 as the Nazis bombed the city above.

Take the 3/Green line one station to:

2. Belorusskaya. Opened in 1952, named after the connected Belarussky Rail Terminal, which runs trains between Moscow and Belarus. This is a light marble affair with a white, cake-like ceiling, lined with Belorussian patterns and 12 Florentine ceiling mosaics depicting life in Belarussia when it was built.

Transfer onto the 1/Brown line. Then, one stop (clockwise) t o:

3. Novoslobodskaya.  This station was designed around the stained-glass panels, which were made in Latvia, because Alexey Dushkin, the Soviet starchitect who dreamed it up (and also designed Mayakovskaya station) couldn’t find the glass and craft locally. The stained glass is the same used for Riga’s Cathedral, and the panels feature plants, flowers, members of the Soviet intelligentsia (musician, artist, architect) and geometric shapes.

Go two stops east on the 1/Circle line to:

4. Komsomolskaya. Named after the Komsomol, or the Young Communist League, this might just be peak Stalin Metro style. Underneath the hub for three regional railways, it was intended to be a grand gateway to Moscow and is today its busiest station. It has chandeliers; a yellow ceiling with Baroque embellishments; and in the main hall, a colossal red star overlaid on golden, shimmering tiles. Designer Alexey Shchusev designed it as an homage to the speech Stalin gave at Red Square on Nov. 7, 1941, in which he invoked Russia’s illustrious military leaders as a pep talk to Soviet soldiers through the first catastrophic year of the war.   The station’s eight large mosaics are of the leaders referenced in the speech, such as Alexander Nevsky, a 13th-century prince and military commander who bested German and Swedish invading armies.

One more stop clockwise to Kurskaya station,  and change onto the 3/Blue  line, and go one stop to:

5. Baumanskaya.   Opened in 1944. Named for the Bolshevik Revolutionary Nikolai Bauman , whose monument and namesake district are aboveground here. Though he seemed like a nasty piece of work (he apparently once publicly mocked a woman he had impregnated, who later hung herself), he became a Revolutionary martyr when he was killed in 1905 in a skirmish with a monarchist, who hit him on the head with part of a steel pipe. The station is in Art Deco style with atmospherically dim lighting, and a series of bronze sculptures of soldiers and homefront heroes during the War. At one end, there is a large mosaic portrait of Lenin.

Stay on that train direction one more east to:

6. Elektrozavodskaya. As you may have guessed from the name, this station is the Metro’s tribute to all thing electrical, built in 1944 and named after a nearby lightbulb factory. It has marble bas-relief sculptures of important figures in electrical engineering, and others illustrating the Soviet Union’s war-time struggles at home. The ceiling’s recurring rows of circular lamps give the station’s main tunnel a comforting glow, and a pleasing visual effect.

Double back two stops to Kurskaya station , and change back to the 1/Circle line. Sit tight for six stations to:

7. Kiyevskaya. This was the last station on the Circle line to be built, in 1954, completed under Nikita Khrushchev’ s guidance, as a tribute to his homeland, Ukraine. Its three large station halls feature images celebrating Ukraine’s contributions to the Soviet Union and Russo-Ukrainian unity, depicting musicians, textile-working, soldiers, farmers. (One hall has frescoes, one mosaics, and the third murals.) Shortly after it was completed, Khrushchev condemned the architectural excesses and unnecessary luxury of the Stalin era, which ushered in an epoch of more austere Metro stations. According to the legend at least, he timed the policy in part to ensure no Metro station built after could outshine Kiyevskaya.

Change to the 3/Blue line and go one stop west.

8. Park Pobedy. This is the deepest station on the Metro, with one of the world’s longest escalators, at 413 feet. If you stand still, the escalator ride to the surface takes about three minutes .) Opened in 2003 at Victory Park, the station celebrates two of Russia’s great military victories. Each end has a mural by Georgian artist Zurab Tsereteli, who also designed the “ Good Defeats Evil ” statue at the UN headquarters in New York. One mural depicts the Russian generals’ victory over the French in 1812 and the other, the German surrender of 1945. The latter is particularly striking; equal parts dramatic, triumphant, and gruesome. To the side, Red Army soldiers trample Nazi flags, and if you look closely there’s some blood spatter among the detail. Still, the biggest impressions here are the marble shine of the chessboard floor pattern and the pleasingly geometric effect if you view from one end to the other.

Keep going one more stop west to:

9. Slavyansky Bulvar.  One of the Metro’s youngest stations, it opened in 2008. With far higher ceilings than many other stations—which tend to have covered central tunnels on the platforms—it has an “open-air” feel (or as close to it as you can get, one hundred feet under). It’s an homage to French architect Hector Guimard, he of the Art Nouveau entrances for the Paris M é tro, and that’s precisely what this looks like: A Moscow homage to the Paris M é tro, with an additional forest theme. A Cyrillic twist on Guimard’s Metro-style lettering over the benches, furnished with t rees and branch motifs, including creeping vines as towering lamp-posts.

Stay on the 3/Blue line and double back four stations to:

10. Arbatskaya. Its first iteration, Arbatskaya-Smolenskaya station, was damaged by German bombs in 1941. It was rebuilt in 1953, and designed to double as a bomb shelter in the event of nuclear war, although unusually for stations built in the post-war phase, this one doesn’t have a war theme. It may also be one of the system’s most elegant: Baroque, but toned down a little, with red marble floors and white ceilings with gilded bronze c handeliers.

Jump back on the 3/Blue line  in the same direction and take it one more stop:

11. Ploshchad Revolyutsii (Revolution Square). Opened in 1938, and serving Red Square and the Kremlin . Its renowned central hall has marble columns flanked by 76 bronze statues of Soviet heroes: soldiers, students, farmers, athletes, writers, parents. Some of these statues’ appendages have a yellow sheen from decades of Moscow’s commuters rubbing them for good luck. Among the most popular for a superstitious walk-by rub: the snout of a frontier guard’s dog, a soldier’s gun (where the touch of millions of human hands have tapered the gun barrel into a fine, pointy blade), a baby’s foot, and a woman’s knee. (A brass rooster also sports the telltale gold sheen, though I am told that rubbing the rooster is thought to bring bad luck. )

Now take the escalator up, and get some fresh air.

Everything about public transport in Moscow

Working hours are from 5:30 AM to 1:00 AM. The bus-stop is a plate with A sign, trolleybus-stop with a T and tram-stops are marked with Tp . Marshrutkas use all those stops too.

Yandex has public transport app ( iOS , Android ) that shows live location of buses, trolleybuses and trams and predict in what time the transport arrives at the stop.

1. Types of transport in Moscow

Bus is the most popular and most commonly used type of transport after the underground. First buses appeared in the city before the Revolution of 1917; nowadays 18 bus fleets operate over a thousand various routes. Buses can carry you within the city and to the Moscow suburbs.

Trolleybuses

Moscow has the largest trolleybus network in the world. A trolleybus is an quiet and environmentally friendly type of transport. However, it’s less reliable than a bus due to high risk of temporary stops because of illegally parked cars and car crashes.

Only few tramway routes remained until now in the center of Moscow. It is nice to make a weekend sightseeing trip through the old city in the tram No. 39 or in the famous «Annushka», from Bulgakov’s «The Master and Margarita». Tram routes are being renovated now. New high-speed trains appear on the streets, replacing old yellow ones.

Marshrutkas (minibuses)

Marshrutka is a small bus that serves the same routes as public transport but much faster. The foreigners should know that only  blue with pattern on top  minibuses are preferable. They are officially admitted, accept public transport ticket there and you can take this minibus only at a bus stop. You can get to other marshrutkas not only at bus or trolleybus stops, but wave down your hand (like calling a taxi) whenever you see it. Coming across your destination point, you are just to ask a driver to stop (in a loud voice and better say it in Russian – «Ostanovite pozhaluista» – as most of the drivers do not understand foreign languages). The cost of a single ride is about 50 rubles (€0.50) and you should pay directly to a driver when entering the minibus.

2. Tickets in Moscow transport

1 or 2 trips.

You can buy tickets for 1 or 2 trips only in ticket offices. They are located at some bus stops throughout the city. Tickets cost 55 and 110 rubles (€0.55 and €1.10) respectively. Ticket offices sell all kind of tickets; ones for bigger amount of trips are more profitable.

Buying ticket at a driver

You can buy a single ticket at a driver when you enter a bus, trolleybus or tram. Drivers sell only single tickets, they cost 55 rubles (€0.55).

«Troyka» card

You can also use a card called «Troyka» – refillable card to pay for travelling on all kinds of public transport – metro, buses, trolley-buses, trams, monorail and green minibuses. Every trip becomes much cheaper with it.

Moscow Metro tickets

All metro tickets can be used at the surface transport, and vise versa.

3. Moscow night-time public transport

Night busses, trolleybuses and trams work from 1:00 AM until 5:45 AM, when all the day transport and the metro stops working. Some of the routes coincide with the day ones, some – work only at night. The traffic interval is 15 or 30 minutes.
