13 of 13 people found the following review helpful.I did a TON of research before I purchased this stroller, and I still watch stroller reviews all the time (Babygizmo.com has really great reviews on so many strollers.) And Zooper Waltz 2011 is THE BEST of all I've seen so far.Let me tell you first though that it is not an all-terrain or jogging stroller, and it does not have an ability to be used for more than one child. So if you're looking for these things, this is not it. But if you're looking for a single stroller for city walking and a little bit of park and dirt, etc., and you don't want a monster stroller (size and weight wise), this is the best stroller of that kind.One of my favorite things about this stroller is that it comes with SO many accessories that are sold separately on most other strollers, especially those expensive ones. With this one, you pay $300 (I paid $250 for it on eBay) and get the following accessories all included: - A UV net. It easily snaps onto the canopy to completely shade the front and there are two elastic loops at the bottom to attach it securely to the stroller. It comes in a zippered pouch, and what's genius about it is that the pouch itself is actually part of the net, so you don't have to worry about ever losing the pouch! - A foot muff for cold weather. It also easily snaps onto the seat. This is something you don't see included with a stroller very often. - A removable cup holder. It can actually hold a travel mug, Starbucks cup, etc., and not just a water bottle. - A snack tray for the child. Large enough to be actually practical. Has a large, deep cup holder that securely holds any sippy cup, a bowl-like section to put some snacks, and two compartments in the middle. - A baby bumper bar. You can either completely remove it or just swing it away to make it easier to get your child in and out of the stroller. - Infant car seat adapter straps. You attach it to the D-rings on the sides of the seat, then it goes over your infant car seat and you secure it with a buckle and by tightening the strap. It's not one of those big, bulky frame adapters that some strollers have for infant car seat. To me, that's just one more thing to find a place for when you're not using it as a travel system. This strap system feels very very secure, and it's just much more travel friendly. - A rain cover. The 2011 model does not come with a rain cover, but that's because the improved canopy (which is gigantic and full-coverage) is made of complete water-proof fabric and acts as a rain cover. I love this because I don't have to worry about forgetting the rain cover at home or fiddling with it trying to put it on when it starts raining unexpectedly on the go.So, only $300 with all these amazing, practical accessories is absolutely the best price for its value.Now on to the stroller features. (That's right, I haven't even started on the main stroller yet!) - Light-weight It's just under 19lbs. I'm petite and don't have a lot of arm muscle, but I don't have any problem getting this in and out of my trunk or carrying it up a couple flights of stairs every once in a while. - High weight capacity of 55lbs. Not that I would use it for a 55lbs child regularly, but it means it's that sturdy. - Easy to assemble. It comes in a big box and all you have to do is snap on the wheels and the canopy. Super easy. Took us 5 minutes. However, I do want to note that we attached the canopy wrong at first, and because of that, it ripped at the zipper when we tried to recline the seat. There are four snaps on the bottom of the canopy, one set at the very front on each side and another in the middle. The front set snaps onto the sides of the seat, and the middle ones onto the back of the seat. Our mistake was attaching the front ones to the seat back. But Zooper had a super nice warranty service, where they sent us a brand new canopy for no charge, even though it was our fault. - Newborn friendly. It has a very flat recline position, and the leg rest goes all the way up and securely zips on to the sides of the seat, creating a bassinet-like environment. (The leg rest also lays flat for babies or goes down for older kids.) It also has an infant guard at the top of the seat that would prevent your infant from ever sliding out of the seat when the seat is fully reclined and the back of the canopy is removed. But this piece can be tucked away with an attached velcro once your child gets taller. It also comes with an infant head rest that is attached to the shoulder straps, but this is also removable. - One-handed open and fold, and stands on its own when folded. Now there's a trick to doing it one-handed. It's supposed to be done with two hands, and it's super easy to do, but you can also do it one-handed. To open it, you unlock the lock on the side, push the big button on the handle bar, and instead of grabbing the small handle on the side like you would when you're opening it with two hands, you just push down on the top bar of the basket with your foot. To fold it, first you retract the canopy and put the seat up to the upright position, lock all the wheels, and then push the big button on the handlebar, lift up on the small handle on the side with your knee (just a little nudge), and then you push the whole stroller down towards the ground with the handlebar. That allows the frame to slide into a folded position. Then, I usually have to push down on the front of the frame with my foot to engage the lock. It might sound complicated, but once you get the hang of it, you can do it in seconds. My baby's been real clingy and so it's been nice being able to open and fold the stroller while holding him. - Full-coverage canopy with a large viewing window. This canopy is probably my favorite feature of this stroller. First of all, it's huge and it folds all the way down to the bumper bar to completely shade and cover your child. It has a large viewing window with a flap to cover it when not in use. The flap has no noisy velcro on it, so you won't have to worry about waking up your baby. When the seat is fully reclined but you still want full-coverage on your sleeping baby, you can actually unzip whole another full-sized panel to do that. Also, there's another zipper on the canopy that you can unzip and reveal a mesh underneath the back of the canopy. This enables a good air-flow through the back into your child. The whole back of the canopy and the mesh underneath it are both completely removable as well. - Great storage. The basket is huge and can fit my diaper bag, another big bag with beach towels and blankets, jackets, water bottles, and lunch fairly easily. So it's perfect for picnics and shopping. It has a hard bottom so that you will never be dragging your stuff on the ground. An amazing feature of this basket is that they put a vertical zipper on each side of the basket towards the front of the stroller that goes all the way to the bottom, so you will have a complete access to the content even when the seat is fully reclined. I love it! I also like that the side fabric of the basket is kind of see-through so you can see where everything is. Also, there is a large pocket on the back of the canopy where I can fit my clutch-size purse, and another pocket on top of it with a lid, which is perfect for keeping your keys, cell-phones, etc. There's another small pocket on the back of the seat, where the warnings are supposed to go, but that's where I keep my UV net and car seat adapters. - One-handed bar recline that has 4 different positions. I can even adjust the recline up and down while walking with this stroller. - Seat fabric machine-washable! The seat fabric comes off to be machine-washed. (Canopy is spot clean only.) - Excellent maneuverability. It pushes really well and as long as I'm on a paved street, I can totally push it and even turn it one-handed with the baby and tons of stuff in the basket. It does pretty good on grass, dirt and gravel but I usually need two hands to turn on rough terrain. - Carrying handle on the side and the ability to wheel behind when it's folded. Carrying handle is definitely nice when I lift it up to put it in my trunk, and if you have the front wheels locked, you can wheel it behind you like a luggage! - Front swivel wheels that can also be locked straight for rougher terrain, and one-touch rear brake. This is pretty standard for most strollers but it's definitely a nice feature. - All four wheels have suspension system. I've taken it on grass and some dirt roads, and it pushed very well! - Padded five point harness that are height adjustable. This is pretty standard too and you do have to rethread the shoulder straps to adjust the height, but you won't be adjusting them all the time so this is not an issue. The paddings on the shoulder straps are easily removable. The buckle is easy to do, no puzzle pieces. You can also detach the shoulder straps and use it as a 3 point harness once your child is old enough.As you can tell, I just cannot say enough good things about this stroller!! I've been using it for almost 7 months since my son was a newborn and I absolutely love it!Zooper also has Bolero and Twist, and the differences are: -Bolero is $400 and comes with a bassinet kit to make the seat a real bassinet. It's a tad bigger and heavier, but has a more compact standing fold than Waltz. -Twist is $200 and has an umbrella fold. It can not stand on its own when folded but everything else is the same as Waltz.
7 of 9 people found the following review helpful.I bought this stroller and as far as design I love it, meets my needs great. However there are some serious issues with it. When the stroller arrived the seat would not recline. Once I managed to get it to recline bars that support the seat rubs against the frame of the stroller and the paint is rubbing off. To make matters worse I contacted the company when it first arrived and would not recline and they wanted me to send it to them so they could fix it. It's a brand new defective product and they would not replace it. I went through Amazon and got it replaced, the second one has the same issue. After discussing this with them at length and how the second one also has this issue they offered to replace it if I sent it too them and waited weeks for a replacement. Again I'll deal directly with Amazon and their great customer service. Sadly I'll be returning this one too and looking for another company to deal with. If it were a warrantee issue then I could see fixing it, but when a product arrives defective a company ought to stand behind the item and replace it.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.Very cool in theory. Turns out ours was defective- still usable but we wanted it to be in brand new condition. We decided to just purchase a higher end stroller in person later, but when I had to return this stroller, the customer service representative was prompt and friendly. It never got picked up, which was kind of a pain, so the customer service person refunded us the money and had us keep the stroller. Very cool! I think this would be an excellent stroller as long as the purchaser doesn't get a defective one. It's nice that all the "extras" come included.
