Teutonia Spirit 3 vs Herqules Raptor 3

[Daisybell1]

PramsGalore I need you!

I have narrowed things down to these two, both of which are on ebay ending next weekend. I know they're both big heavy brutes but I'll need off-road daily living on a farm, and boot space isn't a problem (we have an estate car and a pickup truck).

I suspect they may sell for a similar price.....

The teutonia will take a maxi-cosi car seat (which we know fits in my estate car) whereas I think the Herqules only takes a britax (which we don't know if it fits) but both pushchairs come with carrycots....

Does anyone have any experience of these? I'm trying to persuade OH to let me buy both, and then sell on the one I prefer least, but he's not letting me so far....

The adaptors are here! And they fit! And the car seat fits on them too!!!!

Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah!!!! Am very excited at having the best pram ever, together with the smugness of it being compiled from obsolete bits

Thanks for all your help and advice, still madly in love with the herqules...

[Daisybell1]

Phew! Adaptors are in the post so I'm starting to get a bit excited We've just been offered a second britax seat (also history known) so it seems we may have options!

Am now stalking my village/friends for a baby to borrow....

[allthefires]

Daisybell- absolutely not- I was just curious. Glad you got them on the way. Hopefully your rock a tot will fit and even better that it was free from a friend! I had the revised model on an old travel system. It was very easy to fit. Sold it though as hated travel system!


As I said I now have a new maxi cosi waiting for this baby and BJCM will be used in car.

Prams I owe you a bottle of wine , thank you for your ferretting research

I must confess though that I have already been in touch with the preloved seller and she's putting the adaptors in the post to me - hope I haven't gazumped you Allthefires .

That is very interesting about the polish website - I wonder how old these ones are? I only ask because we were given a britax rock a tot car seat at the weekend (we know its history) but I don't know if its too old to fit. If the adaptors are the 'click and go' variety then we can always get a new seat.

A toast to prams and her unending pram knowledge!!!!

[allthefires]

I had one of those- sold it. Now got a maxi cosi as baby jogger is the car buggy- Herqules for walks etc

Reckon the shr baby safe is similar so daisybell may like to try that.

roemer which according to the lady selling one on preloved is a britax rock a tot hang on i will get the info off advert

[allthefires]

Pramsgalore- is there no end to your talents? Does it say which car seat?

[pramsgalore4]

right, i have found the carseat adaptors on a polish website and translated it says
Herqules Carseat Adapter - a set of adapters for car seat. With the help of adapters may be on the chassis of the trolley Raptor / Razor attach the car seat Roemer. The set consists of two metal parts and plastic connector adapter Click \ 'n ' go
not a great translate but it does say for raptor or razor so the chassis must be the same :o

[pramsgalore4]

i have to say i am so tempted to get one for my self, that is if i can get it past OH

[pramsgalore4]

apart from the rally but this is more of a buggy type anyway. are they the adaptors that are on preloved you are after getting :o

[pramsgalore4]

if you notice they all seem to share the same seat unit :o

[pramsgalore4]

this is how i worked the above out, no i can not understand the text, but is self explanatory and it shows the models
www.bangla.pl/herqules-b24.htm

[pramsgalore4]

hi, have managed to find out that the carrycot will fit onto the raptor 3, razor 4, razor 4 spin so by that i would say the chassis are all the same size, so i would say 98% the car seat adaptors would fit, at the moment that is the best i can find, i am sure there is not a raptor 4 and may be you mean a razor 4

[pramsgalore4]

this is a razor 4 spin, ican find nothing on a raptor 4
www.babylicious.org/herqules-razor-4-spin-reduced.ir?cName=prams-herqules

[pramsgalore4]

is it def called a raptor 4 or is it a razor 4 spin, if it is the first then no i can not even find a pic, if its the razor easy it's below
Measurments in cm
backrest 44
seat depth 25
seat width 31
length of seat unit laid back position 89

size folded inc wheels
lenth 85cm
width 61cm
height 41cm
and i would say the seat units that are desighned to lift off like on the raptor would be the same seat for all models at the time apart from maybe the twin. the razor looks like the same seat as on yours, don't know if any of this helps kind of working blind, but let me know :o

[Daisybell1]

Wow Prams you are a genius!

Now, if you can solve the question of whether a raptor 4 is wider than a raptor 3, then you really would be good !!!!

Car seat adaptors depend on the above information so no pressure!!!

[allthefires]

I just cant believe you found it! Well done!

Will print off tomorrow and have a play with buggy.
