This all-in-one travel system comes fully complete with the carrycot (including a mosquito net), changing bag, car seat, pushchair unit, cup holder and raincover. The high-quality aluminium frame is extremely lightweight and manoeuvrable thanks to the lockable 360° swivelling front wheels. Not only this, but the specially-designed suspension provides fantastic shock-absorption, while the easily-operated locking brake acts on both rear wheels for optimum safety. Baby bottles will always be ready to hand, thanks to the included cup holder and all of your baby’s essentials will have plenty of room in the large shopping basket.

Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?
The colours of this Hauck Malibu XL travel system are unisex. It was relatively easy to set up and comes with car seat, carrycot, cup holder, rain over, changing bag and a mosquito net so you get a few extra included in the price whereas on other prams you would have to pay for as an extra at the same price or even more. It's lightweight and easy to move. It has a lovely large basket underneath and this is always a must!
How does this product make your life easier as a mum?
With the large shopping basket and cup holder we can go out more easily with the travel system, whereas sometimes I'd opt for taking the car as not enough space for everything but this has that bit extra that all helps out.
If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
I would change the colour of this Malibu xl all in one, as the colour makes it look a little old fashioned. Great travel system but just needs brightening up a bit to make it a little more modern.

Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?
I liked the colour (I thought it was a nice neutral, unisex shade that is nice change from black). I found the Hauck Malibu XL travel system easy to fold and very light to lift. It was very light to push and manouevre. My baby was comfortable in the seat unit which seemed to have enough padding. I liked that it could recline completely flat. The carrycot is sturdy and a very good size. Both the car seat and carrycot are easy to attach to the chassis with no separate adapters required.
How does this product make your life easier as a mum?
It would make it easier to get out and about in the car - it is light to lift and you do not waste time putting a seat unit on separately.
If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
The basket was not big enough for my change bag.

This Hauck Malibu XL travel system is exceptionally manouevreable, lightweight and sturdy, and folds down to a reasonable size. The design of the chassis is also such that a buggy board could be connected to it, increasing its life considerably, though it is clear that it would adapt to a child for many years. The large changing bag supplied with it compensates for the small basket, and other features such as the parent cup and the drawstring height adjustment are great. This is a light, practical, well-designed pushchair.
How does this product make your life easier as a mum?
The slick manoeuverability of this piece makes everything easier!
If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
A concern in the design is the click-out prongs for attaching the car seat to the chassis; there is clearly potential for catching or injuring little (or big!) fingers here, and perhaps this could be worked on in future models. The car seat itself is also very upright for a newborn, with no adjustability.
