Customer Review: REVISED review - so bummed about my Tango!
Summary: 5 Stars
Since my first review, I have had a change of heart regarding my Tango. When I was researching this stroller, I saw the negative review regarding the latch not staying secure when in use and I chalked it up to one customer's unfortunate issue. Well, it is now also my unfortunate issue. After using the stroller a few times, it began to fold in on itself whenever we hit a small bump, or if I had to gently tilt the stroller backward like you do sometimes to get up over small curbs or over some other small bump in the sidewalk. I could not believe it! My kids were in it and it kept happening! I took it back to the store where I purchased the stroller and was told that this was the first time they had heard of that issue. I printed out the review here from the other customer and also one I found on buzzillions about the same issue to show them I was not the only one this had happened to.
I was offered another Tango and I said no thanks. I bought the Baby Jogger City Mini Double instead. So, BUYER BEWARE, if you go with the Tango please be aware of this potential issue. I sent a letter to Zooper about it in hopes that they will look into it. It's not just an inconvenience, it is a true safety hazard.
If Amazon would let me change my "star" rating, it would now be a zero.
PREVIOUS REVIEW:
I'm not sure if some of the other negative reviews are for the 2007 model, but the 2008 model is great! The "bar" issue in the basket area has been solved, and the canopies are absolutely the best of any stroller I have ever seen as far as coverage goes. NO other side-by-side (except the Baby Jogger City Mini Double) has such coverage. I have a Peg Perego Aria Twin and I have never been so disappointed in a stroller - it is extremely hard to maneuver and the canopies are horrible. Thankfully I only paid $80 for it on Craigslist.
So, this year I decided to use part of our tax refund on a nice stroller, finally, for my 18 month old twins and after literally weeks of searching and reading all the reviews and driving myself crazy, I narrowed it down to the Zooper Tango and the Baby Jogger City Mini Double.
I am fortunate to live in Los Angeles where one store had both models on the floor. To be quite honest, I would have gone with the Baby Jogger but for two things: The seats are very narrow, and even in their most upright position, they are reclined a little and my kids kept wanting to sit up. So I went with the Zooper.
The only real downsides of the Zooper are: The fold. It is a bit cumbersome and although they say it locks easily, the floor model I tried and my actual stroller that I purchased do not lock easily. It takes a few steps and can be a pain in the butt, but you get used to it and every stroller has some sort of downside. I have no idea why they couldn't have made it fold more compact, but if you have an SUV, wagon or minivan, this should not pose a problem.
The other downside is that the "peekabo" windows are sort of a mesh material, very very hard to see through. I don't understand at all why they used that material. Seems like a really simple thing to do, and yet they fell short on this big time.
And it says it fits through most standard doorways, this hasn't been that big of a problem, but some doorways are not standard. This is where pretty much any side by side will pose problems. I sort of have to think ahead where I intend to go when using this stroller. If I am going to a store with narrow aisles or doors, it's almost impossible to shop with this stroller - but again, any side by side would be the same so this is not unique to the Zooper.
My bottom line review is: If you have young babies and/or don't mind narrow seats or the slight recline issue of the Baby Jogger City Mini Double, I'd go with that stroller. But, if you are looking for a side by side to last you a long time and that your kids can grow in to, then I'd go with the Zooper. I have not been unhappy with my purchase.
