5.0 out of 5 stars Zooper Twist 2010, February 21, 2010

By 

6kidstolove "Kristen" (Tennessee) - See all my reviews

This stroller is simply AMAZING!! Because of all the features, this is truly a stroller that can take you through newborn up to toddler years. I've had six children and I wish that I would've had a Zooper before because I love it!
For anyone wondering could this stroller work for a newborn, YES YES! The back of the seat reclines so much that it is a near flat position. There also is a safety net at the headrest I suppose to keep any baby from wiggling out in that direction. The shoulder straps (which have reflective piping)can be altered to accommodate an infant, not to mention that there are soft shoulder strap pads to protect baby. The seat is not only extremely padded, but there is also an infant insert to make it more comfortable (did I mention premium quality and plushness?). Granted, that when the seat is in a full recline the storage underneath becomes difficult to get to, but what stroller isn't that way? All the features that you do get are well worth the compromise and the stroller is sturdy enough that you can drape bags on the handles without it tipping over. Once your baby starts to sit up you can have more access to the storage anyway! What also makes it nice for a newborn baby is there is a leg rest at the end of the seat you can adjust to flip it up to extend the seat to become more flat.
One of the features that sold me on the Zooper brand was the fact that the sunshade fully extends to where it's like a pod for the baby. What you cannot see in all the pictures is the zipper located on the back top part of the shade which unzips another segment of fabric (kind of like a leaf of a table). This feature is wonderful for a sleeping baby not to mention when you're out in the sun! This is a wonderful feature not found on any other stroller and I love that it is on this umbrella stroller! It really came in handy last Fourth of July when we attended the parade. I loved sporting my baby around in the shade (nobody else had anything like it!). There is even a detachable drink holder and a huge pocket on the back of the sunshade that you could put a magazine, book, cell phone, keys, extra diaper, portable case of wipes, camera, camcorder, etc. in as well. Oh, if anyone is wondering how the baby can see out when the sunshade is extended, there is a flap of fabric you fold back so baby can see.
When the weather is not so fabulous, you can rest assured that you already have everything you need. The sun/bug net and the rain shield fit on quick and easy. They are stored in their own pouch with wrist wrap. During the cold months, the sleeping bag zips on and protects baby from exposure. There is enough room to bundle baby up with more blankets inside if need be. The same amazing fabric and attention to detail is given to the sleeping bag as the rest of the stroller.
The handling of the stroller is easy. I'm 5'1 and can easily push this as can my 6'2 husband. I don't and he doesn't have a problem with the stride and hitting the back lower area of the stroller. The grips on the handles are comfortably cushioned and I can push it with one hand if I have the baby in my arms. I can also undo the stroller one handed. It doesn't take up alot of room in my Excursion at all, nor would I find it to in any vehicle since it is an umbrella stroller.
I really cannot wait until my little girl is older so she can test out the weight limit which is another perk (55 lbs). I can see how with this stroller it will accommodate a tall child since the body of the seat is long and the shade doesn't rest right on top of the child's head. In fact, if your child is so tall and you wanted to remove the sunshade from the frame and simply have the seat, you can even do that.
My baby is now 13 months and we've had our Zooper for about 8 months. I've enjoyed using it each and every time. It's made my life easier knowing that whatever the weather is going to do, I'm prepared (unlike many strollers). I'm glad I chose the Twist model because of it's compactness in comparison to their other models. If you feel you might miss having a tray in the front, just attach a drink strap so it won't crash to the ground (that's all they enjoy doing anyways is watching it fall!) There also is a grip on the outside of the frame to carry the stroller when folded. I'm sure for someone who wanted to carry it over their back, they could just buy a luggage strap and attach it to the frame.
In summary, Zooper is well worth the price! Don't turn your head because of the price as you have to factor all the accessories which are included. This is going to be the only stroller you need (unless you plan on going through some really rugged terrain). You won't be disappointed. With the suspension on all the wheels and all the bells and whistles of this stroller, your baby will be riding in comfort whether on vacation or simply around town! Two thumbs up for Zooper!

5.0 out of 5 stars LOVE IT! Zooper Twist BU822B, October 6, 2009

This review is from: Zooper Twist Stroller (Baby Product)

UPDATE: If you run into problems with your wheels being stiff and not turning very nicely - Zooper recommended that we use a silicon lubricant on the wheels. We did and now the wheels are back to turning like they should.


We have a Zooper Waltz from a few years back and love it, so we took a chance on the Twist, despite the huge lack of reviews, when we needed a smaller, umbrella type stroller. I am so glad we did! For less than the really spendy Maclaren, it has all the features I want, and an important one that the Maclarens don't offer - a huge canopy that actually gives shade with the sun at any angle.
Features:
An adjustable footrest - my baby is 8 months old so I wanted some support for her legs.
A huge canopy - you can pull it as far forward as you want (it doesn't pull as far when the seat is fully reclined for obvious reasons), and an extra section that zips out to make it even bigger (the canopy can touch the child's legs). I will try to put some pictures up of this.
Reclining seat - one hand operation and goes nearly flat (as flat as any "flat" reclining stroller).
Soft plush seat with removeable washable cover.
All wheel suspension - at first this made the stroller not seem as sturdy, since there is movement when you wiggle the stroller. I think it is just the give in the wheels from the shocks. The frame seems very sturdy, as with our other Zooper stroller. This is one of the main reasons we went for the Zooper - they really seem well built and like they'll last a long time. Our other one has put up with lots of abuse.
Basket underneath - similar to most umbrella strollers. The mesh part of the basket doesn't go all the way up the back, which I thought was kind of strange, but I guess they figure all the parts of the frame at the back will hold your things in place. I think it will work just fine.
Lightweight - definitely easy to carry around, which is what we were wanting it for - traveling and getting on and off buses/public transit.
Folds pretty easily - you have to bend over and undo two things at the back of the stroller, then it just folds right up.
Easy to steer.
Tall handles, and a tall seat back, weight limit up to 55 pounds.
Comes with rain cover, uv cover, head support thingy and strap covers, cold weather sleeping bag, and cupholder that clips onto the frame.
Seems like a great all around stroller - the small umbrella size but lots of features and comfy for the kids.

We haven't had the stroller very long so I'll update if I run into any problems with it, and I'll try my bigger kids in it, too. Just wanted to get a review up since I had such a hard time finding any info on this stroller.

4.0 out of 5 stars A true story about a nice stroller and excellent customer service, March 15, 2010

This review is from: Zooper Twist Stroller, Coconut Waves (Baby Product)

There are so many different types of strollers available on the market and it can be very difficult to choose "the one". I hope that our story can help parents in their decision making process who may share similar needs.

Background: We had gotten rid of our car shortly after moving to Boston (before our little one came along), so a stroller immediately became an integral component in our lives. We had started off with a Graco stroller that came with a large basket underneath the seat, which was frequently filled with items from a nearby grocery store. We enjoy walking around everywhere and consequently had placed various strains and serious mileage on the old stroller. Alas! During a casual stroll on one snowy evening, the metal shaft holding one of the front wheels broke into two pieces. After MacGyver-ishly "fixing" the broken shaft with whatever I could find in the toolbox, I immediately began searching the web for a new stroller.

Selection process: In addition to the crippled Graco, we had a very basic and rather flimsy umbrella stroller which we used exclusively for flying. We had decided that the new stroller should be as light and compact as possible when folded, but sturdy enough to withstand our rigorous demands. We had spent relatively little money on the Graco and often felt that the stroller was one baby item that we should have spent a bit more for better quality. I searched numerous sites and read countless reviews on strollers around and under the two hundred dollar range. There were not very many reviews on Zooper's Twist available on the web, but the few that I had encountered were all very positive. Besides meeting our own basic criteria, we became sold on the extending canopy, fully reclining seat (for a future littler one), and the accompanying accessories.

First impressions: We received the Twist within two days from Amazon. All the components within the box appeared to be well packaged. We were immediately thrilled to see the great colors: the beige canopy, chocolate seat, and matted gray frame. The instructions were straightforward and the assembled stroller was eye candy. Our two year old immediately sat in the seat and she appeared to be very comfortable with plenty of additional space all around. We were blown away by the canopy, as it extended all the way down to to the seat with options to open it from the top. The wheels rolled smoothly and it was easy to steer with one hand. Folding was a piece of cake which both my wife and I could collapse using one hand, and the handle on the side made carrying around the light-weight unit effortless.

Unfortunate snags: The story was not entirely happy. We were very disappointed to notice that one of the plastic clips necessary to secure the canopy to the frame was broken. The canopy remained fully function, but one of the sides could disengage from the frame when pulled upon. Under normal circumstances we would simply return the unit to Amazon for a quick replacement. However, the gimpy Graco was barely hanging on so we needed an immediate replacement. I contacted Zooper on the phone and explained the situation. The CSR was very understanding and asked me to email them a picture of the broken clip. They immediately placed an order for a replacement canopy and advised us to use the damaged one in the mean time since it was snowing in Boston. Shortly after resolving this issue, we noticed a bluish patch on the rain cover. So I emailed them again with a picture and they immediately informed me that they would include a replacement cover in the shipment along with the new canopy. It took a week for the replacement items to arrive from Oregon. We were very satisfied with Zooper's response to the situation, and while slightly defective, we ended up with an additional set of canopy and rain covers as back ups.

Impressions after two months: We have used the Twist daily since, including days of heavy rain and snow storms, and we are generally happy with the product. We did not give five stars due to some minor issues. The small wheels do not perform very well in the snow, but this was to be expected. We no longer have the use of the stroller for transporting large amounts of groceries, but again, this was to be expected. We have adjusted accordingly and find the stroller to be a good replacement of the Graco. One odd feature in the design is how the rear brake cable snuggles into the plastic casing. We have found that when the stroller is folded with the brakes on the cable can come out of the casing. This is not a big deal as it is easy to place it back in. However, we do find this annoying and often leaves us not using the brakes when folding the stroller. I am 5'9" and sometimes I find the tips of my feet brushing up on the back wheels when walking at a good pace. My wife is shorter than myself and found the handle bars a little uncomfortable to use. However, we have adjusted to the new stroller nicely and we are happy with the product.

Recommendation: This stroller is a complete package for those on the go. While we wish that there was more space for transporting groceries, the great features (and there are plenty I assure you) far outweigh the small issues. My wife, the little one, and I fully recommend the product to those that share similar needs.
