Zooper Boogie Review

What the reviewers like:
Steering and maneuverability are the Zooper Boogie's best features, according to reviews. This stroller’s front-swivel wheel, included tire pump and smooth ride add to the appeal of this pricey all-terrain stroller among parents. A large number of accessories are included.

What the reviewers don’t like:
There's no mistaking the fact that parents don't like the weight and bulkiness of the 27-pound Zooper Boogie all-terrain stroller. Even those with large trunks complain of this stroller’s size. Parents also note the lack of a cup holder, especially considering this stroller’s high sticker price.

Zooper Boogie review highlights

Overall, reviewers say the Zooper Boogie is a good stroller, but they also suggest that some competing models offer better features and lighter weight for less money. This stroller scores best among parents for its steering and maneuverability, but receives complaints about its heavy 27-pound weight and overall bulkiness. A large number of accessories are included: a winter boot, rain cover, tire pump and more.

This site rates and evaluates the Zooper Boogie in eleven categories, based on testing and interviews with parents. The Zooper Boogie's reversible seat is a highlight, and the included accessories make it a very good value. However, some parents say it can be difficult to handle and store when folded, and it's very heavy.

About a dozen owners give the Zooper Boogie an above-average rating. The stroller’s steering and handling, as well as its reclining seat and swivel wheel, get high marks, but parents agree with other review sites on the negatives: Weight, lack of a cup holder and cumbersome folding.
