Joovy Kooper or BJCM????

ChristyH · Apr 27, 2011

I've been looking for a lighter weight stroller for our trip to Disney because the BOB is just too big.

I went to a local baby store today and fell in love with the Joovy Kooper and found it online for about $159. I do really like it but I also like the BJCM that I tried out months ago but never pulled the trigger. Now they have it on sale at Albeebaby.com for alot less. Also a great stroller but I just don't know!! Ugh!

Someone who has either of them or both tell me why you love each!

I had the same dilemma many months ago. I liked features of each one equally and couldn't decide for weeks! I finally settled on the city mini for several reasons.....
-the way it folds is SO functional and EASY
-in the future for a 2nd baby I can get an adaptor so that it holds an infant seat
-LOVE the massive sunshade
-i tried my son in both and he looked like he would have much more room to grow in the BJCM

The joovy does seem smaller and folds small like an umbrella stroller and has some pouches inside the seat area for a cup or snack cup which I liked, but the city mini was also a smoother ride. Also, baby jogger is NEVER on sale and I got a 10% discount because it was the last one and the store was going out of business. Just my :twocents: Hope it helps

I can't say enough good things about my mini! LOVE it! It is so versatile, I may only need one stroller (did I just say that out loud!?) The fold is awesome, it has a smooth ride, tall seat back, and the best canopy on the market.

But if your trunk requires the narrower umbrella fold, then that may make your decision.

The city mini fits in a VW Beetle convertible trunk and even a Maclaren doesn't. The Kooper squeaks after a while too btw.

How does everyone feel about the City Micro?? I can get it for way less than the Mini.

I have a micro double. It doesn't recline flat although that's never kept the kiddos from falling asleep in it and the sunshade isn't as large but still big, wheels are smaller but it's still a nice, smooth ride.

How hard is it to use a folded mini/micro on Disney transportation, such as the buses? I would really prefer a mini/micro especially with the one handle, but think a Maclaren/umbrella fold would be so much easier to get on and off the buses.

laudymama · Apr 28, 2011

I had considered the micro because it was smaller than the mini and I was looking for a smaller stroller than my Chicco travel system one. When it came down to it though, the mini reclines and had a much bigger sunshade- we live in S. FL so that was important to me. Bigger basket too (redesigned for 2010 models and newer).

Completely 110% no way. A Mac is way more of a pain to fold (especially in flip flops

) and you have to put the kid down so you have both hands usually....the Mini is dead easy to get on the tram and works better since it's not so long and truly one handed.

I used one for over a year a few times a week ON MY OWN with 1-4 kids and never had an issue. Baby in one hand, backpack on and grabbed the stroller no problem. (I don't usually use the trams though...I park other places cos I hate them). I mainly hate them because they take so damn long. I park other places that I can just walk to in 5 minutes or monorail to. I am usually in a hurry to go grab other kids from school etc. so I don't have 40 extra minutes to line up, ride, load/unload and then find my car.
