When it comes to baby gear I have high expectations. I search for companies that keep parent and baby in mind with each and every product they create. Safety, quality, and convenience are just a few of the many things I look for, all of which I have found with Zooper.
Dedicated to improving baby products for busy moms, Mr. Red Lan and his partner put their innovative ideas together and started a company parents have come to know and trust. Since establishing the Zooper brand in the US 11 years ago, Zooper has become known for things like safety, convenient features, reasonable prices, innovative products and so much more! With the core philosophy of putting more into each and every product they make, Zooper makes sure baby's needs are put first, products are convenient for parents, and customers get more for their money.
For those who have been reading here for a while, you already know I'm a huge Zooper fan! Last winter I had the opportunity to review their Tango Double Stroller and fell in love with the convenience and quality Zooper is known for. We have used it countless times since that day and through the wear and tear of frequent use, it still holds up beautifully! With such a positive experience, you can imagine my excitement when I learned we were going to have the opportunity to review one of Zooper's single strollers.
We were sent the new Waltz stroller from Zooper in the Star Black color.

When the Waltz arrived I was excited to check it out. The Tango has definitely set the bar high, so I was very curious as to how this one would compare. Thankfully, Zooper did not disappoint!
Upon pulling it out of the box I was already impressed with how little assembly was required. Most of the stroller was already put together, leaving just the wheels and canopy to attach. No tools, no screws...nothing else but sliding them into place and making sure everything latched. With very little time to spend putting things together, I appreciated the fact that Zooper made it so easy and convenient for me. Within a minute or two I had the whole thing assembled and ready to use!
As I looked it over I could tell right away that the quality is top notch. Not only does it have a high-strength, lightweight aluminum frame, but also material that is durable and easy to clean. With something used as much as a stroller, quality is a must and these features are ones I look for and am happy to have found with the Waltz.
Of course, safety is also key and something I was very happy to find was taken into consideration when creating the Waltz. Between the 5 point adjustable safety harness with newborn and toddler settings and the reflective safety piping, I know my my kids are safe when strolling around in it.
I was also happy to find that the Waltz is made to accommodate children from newborn all the way up to 55 lbs (Kaelyn is just 30 lbs, so I can see this lasting us a very long time! YAY!). With two little ones (and more in the future possibly), I need a stroller that can be used from birth on. Kaelyn is getting older, but there are still times when it's much more convenient to have her in a stroller. This is perfect! It's not only compatible with select infant car seats thanks to the handy infant carrier safety strap...but it also offers a 4-position seat recline which is super easy to do with the one-hand backrest recline, and includes a flat position for newborns. Although he's not a newborn, at one year old Kaden still naps when we're out and about usually. It's nice that this offers multiple recline positions as it's perfect for a child like this.
In fact, the canopy is also great for him when he naps and will be great this summer when he or Kaelyn need a break from the sun! It's huge! When it comes to strollers, finding a canopy that is large enough to block out direct sun is hard to find. That's why I love the Waltz! With a napper canopy that rotates in front of the stroller, it gives shade and coverage like you wouldn't believe! It also features a sun visor, viewing window, and zip-off hot weather ventilation canopy.
Not only has Zooper made sure that the child's needs are covered, but they have also added convenience for parents as well. Great storage on a single stroller is not always easy to come by, so I was thankful to find this large, easy access storage basket as well as a couple of storage pockets right on the canopy! When we're out and about we usually have a lot to carry, especially this time of year with winter coats, hats, mittens, etc. This is perfect for our needs!
It also has a cup holder which is a must, as we almost always have something to drink with us. In most cases I would say that I wished there was a second cup holder for the kids' drinks and snacks, but the Waltz has already got that covered. It comes with a child tray that has a cup holder and spot for a snack!
When it comes right down to it, the quality and safety of a stroller comes first...but I am immediately turned off if it is not easy to use...primarily when it comes to folding up and opening. If I'm out with the kids and can't get the stroller open, that poses a big problem. Thankfully, the Waltz stroller couldn't be easier to use!! It has a simple compact umbrella stroller fold that requires the push of two buttons and pushing down to collapse. There's even a carrying handle that makes it super easy to carry this lightweight stroller from one place to another.
The Waltz stroller also came with several great accessories.
I am very impressed with this stroller. It's extremely well-made, offering a very comfortable and safe ride for both Kaelyn and Kaden and something I know will last us a very long time. It's easy to use, convenient and really does offer all of the features I look for and more. The fact that it's so lightweight and easy to maneuver is much appreciated and makes it the perfect everyday stroller for any family.
I would highly recommend heading over Zooper and checking the Waltz out. While you're there, be sure to take a look around at all of their other amazing products. Not only do they offer top of the line strollers, but also safety gates and high chairs. Their hook-on chair is one that has especially caught my eye. I mean, how convenient would this be?
This lightweight, flat-folding, simple to safely secure hook-on chair is made of strong steel tubing and has a secondary safety lock to provide the safety you can count on.
Features:
- Suitable for babies 6 months to 30 lbs
- Compact flat fold for travel
- Removable and washable breathable, padded fabric
- 4 Point safety harness
- Spring loaded locking mechanism to secure to table
If you're still in search for great gift ideas for the parents who have young children on your list this year...definitely keep Zooper in mind. Their dedication to convenience and quality are just a couple of the many reasons why their products would make terrific gifts!
