Based on the reviews we found online, parents are very fond of the Zooper Twist, which is a bit heavier (14 pounds) than simpler umbrella strollers but also has more features. Unlike most umbrella strollers, the Twist folds from top to bottom. Intended for children 6 months or older, the Twist has a large seat with a four-position recline (but it's not fully reclining). Parents say it is sturdy, easy to steer and attractive. The large sunshade, generous-size rain hood and easy-to-pull leg rest are also appreciated. The Zooper Twist is very similar to the Maclaren Quest (*Est. $225), although its price falls between the Quest and the Maclaren Triumph (*Est. $170). For parents who want a stroller that's a bit more full-featured yet still lightweight, the Twist is worth a test drive.
Although it hasn't yet been reviewed by expert sources such as ConsumerReports.org, the Zooper Twist umbrella stroller does receive some fairly thorough evaluations from a handful of parents posting to the sites CelebrityBabyBlog.com, Baby-Gaga.com and Epinions.com.

A user evaluates the Zooper Twist in depth. She says the 2007 model is "lighter and cuter" than the 2006 Twist, with a large sunshade and an easy-to-pull leg rest. She recommends this stroller for quick trips, but says its suspension isn't smooth enough for long walks.
Review: Zooper Twist Stroller: Lightweight Delight, "Nancy", July 2, 2007
A parent on this forum replaced a troublesome Zooper Salsa with a Zooper Twist. After trying the Twist for a few weeks, she calls it sturdy and easy to steer, with a large seat and "generous" hood. She writes that her picky 11-month-old rides in it without complaints.

The parents posting here are very happy with the Zooper Twist, praising its light weight, adjustable footrest and roomy seat. However, they do note that the Twist has nonadjustable handles, lacks a cupholder and has a small amount of storage.
