Joovy - Kooper RS2 Lightweight Travel Double Stroller

So my husband was adamant no double strollers, our boys are too big (two 95+ percentile babies) and we also have a wagon. Ended up having to buy a double stroller on Facebook marketplace (joovy kooper RS2 like new for $300). Even when going outside to parks, the wagon just wasn’t working. A big thing was the inability to nap in it and the other thing was getting on and off for my older one was very inconvenient and toddler just wanted to be carried by mama. But I got wrecked carrying and picking up two giant kids (1 year old is almost 30lbs) and toddler is well over 40lbs. Our kids are too big to baby carry and neither liked it so I only use the belt (the momcozy version of the tushbaby). We bought the double before our trip to Hawaii and we would not have survived without it. The flexibility of not having to return to the hotel room for naps (even our older one who never naps in stroller napped in it) was great. Cause when baby napped, we could all go out and play with toddler. I don’t think I would’ve liked one parent being with baby in the room while one parent is outside entertaining toddler. I wanted us to stay as a family especially since we don’t get to spend that much time together outside of vacation. Baby was 10 months and toddler was 2.5 years when we went. Being able to hop on and off was very convenient. My oldest one likes to walk more than be in the stroller or be carried but on vacation when schedules were off and he got tired from too much playing, the stroller was super useful. We Didn’t take car seats, rented a van with car seats to go to and from destination. It wasn’t an all inclusive but we stayed in Waikiki no cars and everyday just walked across the street to the kiddie pool. I would definitely take at least the wagon on vacation. You just can’t hold all the stuff that kids need (diaper bag, toys, food, towels, sunscreen etc) AND carry two kids.

Also wanted to mention, we exclusively use the double stroller now even after vacation, so the money wasn’t wasted. I would look for a double stroller that’s not umbrella on Facebook. I love the joovy kooper S2, it’s lightweight, comfy for my giant toddler and it’s easy to fold. I don’t like the magnetic straps but that’s my only gripe. We’re also thinking about a trip to Disney in the next couple of years and this double stroller fits the dimension requirements.

My boys are 20 months apart We used our double stroller constantly! We went with a joovy kooper We’ve also got a double schwinn bike trailer/jogging stroller. Even at almost 4yo and 2yo, they’re legs still get tired and boy is it easier to have a stroller available instead of trying to juggle everything

Yeah I’m so pissed how small that expensive stroller is! We have a Joovy Kooper and it fits him at almost 4. 50 pounds and 43” tall. Plus it folds up so easily and small.

Tall parents definitely need a stroller with adjustable or higher handles so you don’t end up hunched over! Even if price isn’t your main concern, models like the Joovy Kooper are great for their taller handle height and work well for both travel and everyday use. Also, [this thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/KeepThisInMind/comments/1lwth3i/need_a_best_cheap_travel_stroller_under_300_which/) has top strollers that are lightweight, comfortable, and easy to steer.

We started with a Joovy Roo+ so we could clip the car seat in. It made the most sense when they were still in infant seats. When they were a few months old we came across a Bob twin jogger at a yard sale and held onto that and used it as they got older. That wasn't great for navigating indoors though, so when they moved out of their infant seats we got a folding side by side Joovy so it fit in the trunk better.

I will forever sing the praises of the Uppababy vista with the double car seat option for infants. Big basket underneath for groceries and easy snap on/off for infant car seats. When the twins were about 1.5, I got a Joovy double (lightweight, easy open/close) for neighborhood walks/mall.

Omg yes. I’m way past that stage now but it’s been a problem since forever and my oldest is 11. I gave my shit away. The double Joovy stroller is the only thing I kept at 100$ because I paid out the ass for it. They still got a deal lol. I see it in the local moms group all the time, way over priced crap.

Started with new uppababy vista, bought a used joovy double stroller, bought a new wonderfold W4, bought an umbrella stroller, bought a bugaboo donkey duo, sold the joovy, sold uppababy vista, bought a new uppababy minu and car seat adapter for the W4. planning on selling bugaboo donkey. Will likely end up buying a jogging stroller + bike trailer to replace our non-stroller convertible bike trailer. I have 3 kids, 3.5, 2, and 3.5mo. Different strollers have been useful for different seasons of parenting.

I actually have a Joovy double you could have if you were in San Diego. The only thing is it's a total bitch to push around once they get older.
