Review on πŸ‘Ά Black Joovy Kooper RS2 Double Stroller with Snack Trays - Lightweight Side by Side Travel Stroller by Nicole Hefton

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great compact stroller close by without sacrificing comfort

I would say this is a great compact stroller for twins without sacrificing parent or child comfort. I like that the seats have a higher weight limit so they can be used for older preschoolers, especially if you're going to a place like Disney where you walk a lot. Advantages: 1) Large storage basket. I was able to fit a diaper bag in my backpack with plenty of room, although I had to grab her mug from the side pocket. 2) Small extra pockets throughout. Love the little stretch pockets in the rear storage basket on each side. Perfect for storing children's sunglasses in and out of Disney or the Zoo. There is also a pocket for parents' things on the back of each seat. 3) Many footrest/footrest options. I can unfold it completely for my tallest child and he can put his feet comfortably on the footrest. Or I unfold it completely for my youngest and she can sit across the seat. 4) The seats recline for sleeping. You don't get a completely flat backrest, but definitely enough for a tired baby or to accommodate a toddler with a toddler headrest. 5) I love that the snack bowls are dishwasher safe and optional. We won't really use them when we're at Disneyland because my kids are older (3 and 4) and like to jump in and out. 6) The buckles are magnetic and easier to use. They're also tucked away on the sides to keep out of the way of my older kids who don't really need to buckle up when we're somewhere like Disney or the zoo and want to jump back and forth. 7) Great canopy and I love that the wing of the viewing window just lifts up and stays in place. no velcro or straps 8) the handles are high. My 6ft 3in husband is much more comfortable pushing them. It's not adjustable, though, so if you're shorter than me (5ft 5in) it may be a bit uncomfortable. This is the biggest feature for me. You don't realize how important this is until you collide with a stroller at Disney World while trying to get on the bus and your stroller falls all over the place while arguing with young children. This allows you to unload everything, fold it up and put it next to you while you hold the bags and tend to the kids. Also makes it easier to store and get out of the way. Takes up less space when folded and stands in the corner of the room instead of laying it down. 10) Easy to handle and easy to manoeuvre. Go through our front door. Cons: 1) While the tall handle is great for tall people, its lack of adjustment can be an issue for shorter people (I'm 5'5" and it was ALMOST too big for me). 2) There's not enough cup holders, which will hold my state of the art baby applets and iced coffee cup but not very strong and stable 3) The main downside is that it is very difficult to adjust the height of the shoulder straps have to be slid up and down to bob, Jools and Ergo Metro+ to discontinue 4) You need to recline the seats before folding if you want a flatter fold (can be folded upright but makes it thicker/bulky when folded) 5) For now it's only available in black :( I would love to get a light blue or some other unique color to make it stand out. Overall the positives definitely outweigh the negatives. This is great for traveling side by side. I have one en double bob which is more kid friendly and a little lighter but this thing is a beast and not good for maneuvering in crowded areas. It will probably be our Disney stroller.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • There are new competitors
