I spent many months and countless hours researching strollers for my 20 lb., 10 month old daughter who has outgrown her infant carseat that I used with the Graco Snap-N-Go(which I love as well).This is going to be our only stroller and plan to use it until she no longer needs to ride in one. I looked/compared them in stores (the ones they carry here in stores at least, which isn’t alot unfortunately) as well as read and watched what must of been thousands of reviews online. This is for my 5th child so I have used many different strollers in the past, none of which I liked very much. I had finally narrowed it down to just two… the Kooper and the Baby Jogger City Mini. They are very similar but a few differences are the City Mini’s fold (very easy, 1-step), you can add different accessories to it (belly bar, snack tray), as well as a one piece handle bar, all of which I loved. After a lot of negative reviews though about the seat in the City Mini(very little to no support, doesn’t sit up straight/lays back at angle even when in upright position and my child likes to sit up and see what’s going on), straps hard to adjust/tighten on little ones, can tip backwards very easily when seat is fully reclined, it doesn’t stand on it’s own when folded/has to lay flat and it is about 24 inches wide… not good for the back of my minivan, as well as the Kopper was substancially cheaper being that it was on sale, I decided the Kooper was the better choice for us and I am so glad I did! My daughter absolutely loves this stoller as well as the rest of the family. It is so easy to push, turns on a dime, very smooth ride, great little pockets for the little ones “stuff”, straps are easy to adjust and is comfortable for my daughter(they have padded covers that velcro so they can be taken off to be cleaned), love the canopy…great sun protection (it can also extend almost all the way down to bottom of seat when it’s in upright position if you un-velcro top loops)and has a peek-a-boo window, reflective strips are great for night walks, easy seat recline, great fabric… I got it in lemontree and was a little worried about keeping it clean but it’s a very durable and easy to clean, woven heavy-duty fabric. The fold is pretty simple, easy and compact… doesn’t self lock when folded but I have found that not to be a problem at all, and it fits perectly in the back of my van as well.The basket is pretty good, not great, but not a big issue for us either and it does also have storage and drink holders on the back. I have also read/heard that Joovy’s customer service is great and they completely stand behind their products. I could go on and on gushing about this stroller but to sum it up…If you’re looking for a sturdy, well built, a breeze to push(even one-handed), comfortable for your baby/child(especially if they like sitting up straight when not napping), easy to fold, light-weight (especially compared to the travel system and full size strollers), amazing canopy/sun protection, good storage(for a light-weight) for both you and your baby, looks great, easy to clean and is pretty reasonably priced(I got a great deal on amazon with free shipping) in my opinion the Kooper is the stroller for you.
Purchased this stroller after strongly considering the Quinny Zapp. In looks, they are basically identical. I went to look at both at a baby store, and this one seemed to have a lot of storage in comparison. It comes with a pouch that will hold two drinks as well as a zipped pocket large enough to hold a wallet, keys, cell phone and sunglasses. In addition, it has a good sized basket on the bottom. Big enough for a medium sized purse, etc. In overall size, it is larger than a basic umbrella stroller…definitely larger than my MacLaren Volo, but when folded it in not much larger and will fit in the back of our Toyota SUV just fine. The Quinny does fold down smaller, but given the storage this one has, I decided that checking it with the flight attendants upon boarding an airplane was fine. The Quinny you can fold up and put in the overhead. Lastly, this stroller is rated for up to 55 lbs., and the Zapp is only up to 40 lbs. My child is just under 2.5 years and already 40 lbs, so we needed something sturdier. So far we are nothing but pleased
This is a great design, but bigger than your average umbrella stroller. If you don’t mind the size and weight, it is great! It is smaller than the travel system strollers, though, so you don’t feel as big. The design is great too. The front wheels are closer together than the back so there is easy manuevering in cramped areas. And the stroller is very sturdy. As long as you are not looking for a super light small/compact stroller, it really is a good buy. Joovy also makes great 2 child strollers.
