I traded in our cheap umbrella stroller for this one because I wanted something more comfortable. This is a strong stroller that carries up to 50 pounds. It's stylish and I like all the little pockets. It's easy to fold up and very easy to move around. The only thing I miss about the smaller umbrella stroller is that the Joovy is not as light weight. It's a pretty sturdy fold up stroller, and that being said, weighs more. But we love it! Just bought it, so we shall see how durable it is over the years.
Finally - the pefect stroller!!

I am embarrassed to say that this is my FOURTH stroller since my 15 month old was born. I had an nice travel system that was great, but took up the whole trunk of our CRV and was almost 30 pounds (not something you want to use several times a day). I had a decent umbrella style stroller (around $60) that was too short (I'm 5'6"), had no storage, and I kept kicking the wheels when I walked. I have a jogging stroller that works great for working out or off-roading, but is huge and not practicle for daily use.
I looked everywhere and did lots of research to make sure this will be our final stroller. I tried one out in store at BRUS and fell in love.
One great pro is that it folds down small with the seat on the inside of the fold so it doesn't get dirty (unlike my jogger that gets dirt all over the seat because of the wheels)
All in all, a great stroller that I would buy again and again!
Perfect buy for petite moms!

Just a heads up; we didn't purchase this stroller from BRU nor its website, I actually bought this directly from the manufacturer.
We took a huge leap of faith purchasing this stroller without having ever testing one in-store. The stores in our local area doesn't have them on the selling floors and the nearest one that does is 45 miles away!
We received this stroller this morning; it took less than 5 minutes to remove it from the box and 'snap' on the wheels! My 8 month old son loves Elmo and this stroller immediately caught his attention!!!
Its a perfect stroller for city-dwellers and those who drive compact vehicles. This stroller has the compatibility of an umbrella yet the functionality of a full sized one. The handle bars are just right for someone of my stature (5') and I don't need both hands to place the unit into the trunk of my vehicle. I don't mind the size of the basket; I hardly used it on my snap and go! I also have a BOB and I can't stand its bulk. And I've had a Peg Perego Pramette and didn't like the amount of space it took anywhere.
I like the fact that the Joovy Kooper is a unit that my son actually likes being strapped to as well as easy identification at an airport conveyor belt. It doesn't take up much space in the limited trunk area nor much effort to put it together. Bottom line: its a well made, attractive, eye catching stroller.
The only con; the fabric cannot be taken off to be placed in the wash. Because of that, I've sprayed mine with scotch guard for extra protection.
Awesome stroller

This is the best umbrella stroller out there. It is a few pounds more than most(about 3 lbs more than a maclaren triumph, I believe), but it is so worth it for all the additional features. It also does not fold quite as compactly, unless you take the front wheels off, which pop off so easy it is a breeze to do(we packed two of these strollers for our vaction plus everything else in the trunk of our car), so that if need be it can be smaller, but for the most part I never take the wheels off, because it is still pretty compact. It has great one hand recline, and I can change my kids diaper so easy in this stroller and he is already 35 inches and 32 lbs, at only 20 months old. It is great for older kids, my 4 yo rides comfortably with room to grow, unlike the mac, which has a higher weight limit, but her head is already almost completely above the headrest on the mac. This stroller manuvers so well, and gives a smooth ride. It is easy for my kids to climb in and out of themselves, and it is sturdy and does not tip easily like other umbrella strollers. It has two nice parent cup holders, and two mesh pockets in the seat, where my kids keep their sippy cups and snacks and stuffed animals. It has a wide roomy seat, and my kids love this stroller. The sun canopy is great and provided full coverage in the hot sun while we were on vacation, and the kids love to pull it down for privacy too. Oh and the basket underneath is a nice size as well. I fit my purse and two sweatsuits and a jacket for myslef under there and then a ball the kids got on the boardwalk. Overall, I would say it is the perfect umbrella stroller!
Wish I had this to begin with

I came across this product when researching "umbrella" strollers to replace my big bulky travel system stroller (which rides great but is a pain to get in the trunk and to deal with at the airport). My pain goals was to find a stroller with an adequate sun shade, multiple positions for reclining and a more compact fold than the travel system. I LOVE the Joovy. I actually bought it off the manufacturer's website (it was a better deal) but tried it out at Babies R US and fell in love with it even more. We just used it for a trip to Chicago and found it easy to manuever in the airport and the city (even w/ a quick fold up to ride on the EL). My son enjoyed it immensely - I love the pockets on the inside and outside, the cup holders work fine for water or soda bottles and the basket isn't as large as my Snap and Go but definitely adequate (I fit a picnic blanket, a jacket for me and my son and the diaper bag in there). So far, I am thrilled with the purchase and wish I hadn't bought a travel system to begin with. The other incredible part was that it arrived nearly fully assembled - all you have to do is snap on the wheels and the sunshade.
*As far as one review saying the front wheels come off easily - these wheels "snap" in and only come off when you push the release button. We removed them twice in the airport (for gate check and security) but have not had any problems with them releasing either in the trunk or while walking.
I Love This Stroller!

This is a great stroller in terms of size (folds up nice and small and has a latch to keep it folded)and maneuverability (due to its shape, it's easier in stores and for going through doors than my Bob jogging stroller).
I still use my Bob for heavy-duty walking but the Joovy is made well enough to withstand the uneven pavement of Chicago sidewalks (though, it is a bit of a bumpy ride for my son compared to the Bob).
I really like the big zippered compartment to keep my wallet/sunlasses/etc. and the cupholders (although they really should be called 'water-bottle holders').
Oh, and I love that you can easily recline the back of the stroller when my son is napping and that it has a great sun shade!!
Overall, I am extremely glad I got this and would recommend it to anyone!
Great Stroller!

We used it for the first time on vacation and loved it. My son is 40 lbs and taller for his age (3 1/2 yrs old). He loved being in it and kept asking to ride in his red stroller. Handle bars are just a bit short for tall people such as my husband, ,but I did most of the pushing anyway. Great on bumps and easy to manouver.
Great stroller for an affordable price!

The stroller is great. It was super easy to assemble, the red fabric is so vibrant and strong. I use it for my one- month old and he just falls right to sleep everytime he's in it. It is easy to open and close and it has a smooth ride. I gave it four stars and not five because the stroller is on the heavy side.
Love Love Love My Kooper!

I am a first time mommy and just started looking for a stroller that was smaller than my travel system, but larger than your basic umbrella stroller - I found the Joovy Kooper and fell in love with it! I went to Babies R Us and they had a floor model that you could try out, I loved the quality of it. My sister-in-law has a Maclaren and while I love that it weighs practically nothing, it didn't feel overly stable to me. The Kooper's a little bigger and heavier, but it's quality seems way better than all the other strollers (including the Maclaren) that I looked at. My husband's 6'1" and can push the stroller around with no problems. I ordered a universal cup holder because I read that a lot of people couldn't fit their coffee in it, but I actually returned it because my coffee fit in their just fine. The sunshade is awesome because it's so big and I love the fact that there are two mesh pockets on the inside of the seat (perfect for my little girl's toys). The steering is incredible and it takes hardly any effort to push - it drives great. I would absolutely recommend the Joovy Kooper to anyone looking for an in-between stroller. It's well worth every penny you'd spend on it! (I can even fit my big diaper bag in the bottom if I put it sideways!)
Great Stroller

I recently purchased this stroller for a trip to Sesame Place with my 1 and 3 year olds. I have a bulky double stroller but I wanted something easier to maneuver. I particularly liked this stroller for the much larger sunshade, the mesh pockets on the inside where the child sits and the seat reclining. The ride was pretty smooth and my kids seemed to love it which is what matters in the end.
My only con about this stroller is that I did not find the basket to be as large as some other reviewers had mentioned when I was researching it. Nonetheless, I am very pleased with my purchase.
