Zooper Z-Street vs Zooper Sporty

[elfinprincess]

Hi!
Can anyone tell me the key selling features between the two Zoopers? We have only been able to test drive the z-street as our store doesn't have a Sporty. We are just wondering if it is worth the extra $20 to get the sporty?

Thanks!

The Sport has a single bar handle, air tires, and is about 6 pounds heavier. I think the basket is bigger, too.

Actually, there are a least three Zoopers. The Sport is more of an all terrain stroller than the Z-street which is lighter and folds smaller. But if you go to their web site they give a good description of them and you can really see the differences.

One thing to be careful of - Zooper has a line called "Cool Zone" that is slightly different. The regular Zooper Sport does have the inflatable tires, but the Cool Zone Sport has plastic tires.

I have a regular Zooper Sport on order - can't wait!! I chose Zooper for many reasons: it takes my infant car seat (Graco Snugride), I like the inflatable tires for outdoor walking, it comes with all sorts of extras (boot, sun shade, rain shade, tire pump), the construction seems very sturdy and the fabric is quite nice (I went with Platinum).

Good luck!

That's interesting because that we were wanting the Cool Zone (we are in Florida!) and I didn't realize that it didn't have the air filled wheels for the Sporty. I think we will just go with the CoolZone Z Street as I can't really see any better feature other than the full handlebar and some extra weight. Hmmm....

Thanks,
Tracy

I don't think you'll be sorry. We love our zooper z-street-it handles really well, and it's light enough to go in and out of the car very easily.

We love the Cool Zone features on our Zooper Sport. We're in sunny So. California! DD is quite comfortable in there. :) We chose the Sport over the Z Street without seeing it IRL. I thought the basket looked more accessible, but it really isn't that great and we preferred the one handle.

If you're into things matching, you can get pretty darn close with a Graco Snugride "Heatwave" carseat (BRU) and the Zooper Z-Street in "Ice." (They are both gray and a sort of bluish-tealish color.) We didn't even mean to "match" and were pleasantly surprised! Of course, we haven't used either yet...

Anna,
That's funny that you should mention the HeatWave Snugride. We are hoping it will match the CoolZone Blue colored Zooper. Actually I just checked your link and it that is the Blue we were looking at. I didn't know it was called Ice Blue. We were actually thinking of buying it from that site! It seems to have the cheapest price.

Thanks!
Tracy
