Just got it in the mail so will be sure to update after i take it out this afternoon but so far here's what i've got to say on it (a bit of a comparison to bjcm since that's what i've had forever!):
Great canopy, not as massive as a bjcm but i like it better as older babies and toddler's don't like the bjcm's down all the way (can't see much)
Pockets and drink holders on back of canopy are GREAT!
VERY high quality, soft, plush fabric (nicer than bjcm imo)
Huge window on canopy
Reclines nearly flat and back of canopy that hangs over the reclined seat can be folded up for great airflow
LOVE the pockets on either side of baby; great for sippies, snacks, etc
Nice large seat, looks to be about the same exact size as my bjcm (but more upright)
Love the four vs. three wheels, more classic looking and a nice change for me :)
Comes fully assembled like bjcm (pop on wheels and canopy)
Handles seem to be a better height for me at 5'3" and i like the foam
Here's the kicker for me; the wheelbase is much much smaller (maybe 4 inches?!) and i can ACTUALLY get to the underseat basket which really annoys me on the bjcm (it's so far forward under the seat/hidden and hard to get anything bigger than 4 inches in there). Love the big basket on the kooper and love that i don't have to walk to the side of the stroller to get something big in it either. Also, the seat sits VERY upright, at least 2 inches more than a bjcm which was really bothering my baby :( The seat is very very structured and supported; it has a built in lumber support pad (!) and head pillow. VERY impressed! I paid $139 on diapers.com (price matched albeebaby.com) vs. the $229 for bjcm plus another $10 for sunshine kids caddy. The fold is super easy, just like a mac. Not too heavy, same as bjcm which is perfect, light for the car yet study. Joovy has made a great stroller! It is very sleek and mod looking with the exposed silver frame and sleek black fabric. Reminds me of a cooler quinny zapp/bjcm...I think this will be the perfect stroller for me since my baby did not like the recline on the bjcm and i was ready for a fun change :) Will post pics if someone can tell me how!!
