Zooper Zydeco Review

What the reviewers like:
Parents say the relatively expensive Zooper Zydeco jogging stroller has adequate storage space, with a reversible forward- or rear-facing seat, lots of standard accessories, an easily adjustable handlebar and an attractive, comfortable seat. Plus, the Zooper Zydeco’s fully reclining seat makes it appropriate for newborns.

What the reviewers don’t like:
Sources agree that the Zooper Zydeco is heavy and bulky compared to other three-wheeled strollers and that the Zydeco can be hard to push at times. This stroller has no cup holder, and a few owners say they’ve had difficulty tightening straps and using the reversible seat function with older children. However, the biggest drawback cited in reviews is the Zooper Zydeco stroller's high price.

Zooper Zydeco review highlights

Reviewers say the three-wheeled, all-terrain Zooper Zydeco jogging stroller is a very good luxury stroller overall, but it ultimately loses the race due to its heavy, 28-pound frame. High points in reviews are seating versatility and smooth ride, along with a large storage compartment, swivel wheels and fully reclining seat. Some parents say the Zooper Zydeco jogging stroller can be more difficult to push with one hand than the Phil & Ted's e3 three-wheeled stroller (*est. $380). Weight and size remain big issues; users suggest the Zooper Zydeco is best left unfolded in a garage or other storage area.
