Joovy Kooper stroller... anyone have this?

[Jenny-momof3]

I've been looking around for a new stroller for our baby on the way. We currently have a Maclaren Triumph and a Graco Quattro. I'll be using the Graco as it's part of my travel system for a little while. But it's just too big for Disney,etc. We took the Maclaren this last trip and I just can't stand how tippy it is!

Looking at Babies R Us tonight I fell in love with the Joovy Kooper! Folds up like the Maclaren but seems like a sturdier stroller. Was looking at the Citi Mini too but I think I like this one better.

Does anyone have this stroller? The reviews are great on the babies r us website.

We don't have the Kooper, but we have the Joovy Ultralight Caboose (the sit&stand version) and it's awesome!! It actually folds up thinner than my single Chicco stroller (a little longer, though, with the carseat attachment), and we're very pleased with it and have received a lot of compliments or other parents with the same stroller commenting how great it is. Anyway, it seems like a good brand.

We have it and are very happy with it. It's big plus for us was that because of the design, DS (who is tall) could not reach the wheels. He had a terrible habit of putting his feet down on the wheels of our umbrella stroller making it impossible to push. It's other big plus was the way its sort of shaped like an elongated egg. He sort of always looked nice and tucked in. And he had no trouble taking a nap because he could easily lean on other side or backwards.

It's only drawback for me was the cupholder. It's a sort of net one, which really only fits a bottle of water...a fountain cup of soda (unless a small) really doesn't fit in there. The net basket underneath is an o.k. size, though not big enough to hold a full, large diaper bag...I would always take a smaller diaper bag instead and it worked out fine.

It doesn't fold up as small as a true umbrella stroller, but its not ridiculously bulky or heavy either. We had no problem folding it and carrying it on to WDW buses.

Since you already have a Mac I would try this first. Get a pair of 1 lb ankle weights and strap them onto the front "legs" of the stroller down by the front wheels. It cures the tippy-ness! I got them 3 years ago for my DD's Mac Quest and it works wonders. It only tips now if I have a REALLY heavy load on it, think diaper bag hanging off the back and tons piled up on top of the canopy.
These are what I am talking about.
