Hello
I have narrowed down to a choice of either the Phil and Teds Smart buggy or a Zooper Twist. Both are the same price, but the Zooper comes with sun and rain covers whereas i would have to pay extra for the Smart. In all honesty, the Zooper is probably more practical, but i so love the look of the Smart buggy. And there is that whole P&T snobbery thing . . . Anyone out there have experience of either of these? I think i particulalrly need to hear about flaws in either of them! Will be using for mainly mall/about town type of use. DD2 is nearly 10 months old. any help appreciated  ------------- |

| I have the zooper twist and it is a great little stroller and easy to get around the clothes racks and doesn't take up much space in the boot. What I like about it is the hood folds right down over the child. |

| I had to look up the zooper!! I'm not in the market for either (but totally lusted over the smart, which I think looks awesome)...but, from a practical viewpoint, I think the teeny basket at the bottom of the smart would be annoying - and would likely opt for the bigger one of the zooper if wanting it for around town/shopping/malls. |

thanks for your answers
I am put off by the Smart over the fact it doesn't recline very much and I can't see DD2 getting a good nap in it. Kiwigal - are you pleased overall with the Zooper? Any negatives? ------------- |

I am pleased with the stroller and haven't had any problems with it. I brought it last year before my daughter was 3. I love it because it goes up to 22 kilos where some only go to 17 kilos or 20 whatever the stroller might be. The hood goes right over my daughter's head great on those cool days. One thing I don't like is how it goes up does a wee bit of getting used to getting to get the clip in hard to explain but didn't put me off from buying it. Go into baby factory and have a wee bit of a play. |

I got the zooper in the end - though i loved the Smart, I just realised DD2 would be so much more comfortable in the Zooper and that is what was important. Only used it once so far, but pleased with it at the moment! ------------- |
