I feel so funny asking about this, given my very bad experience with my Zooper Salsa. The seller is exchanging it "up" for a Zooper Twist. Apparently, they have had LOTS of complaints about the Salsa, and won't be selling the next model year.
I'm SO hesitatant to even take the Twist out of the box when it does arrive.
SOOOOOO here's the question: anybody have any experience with the Twist? The few reviews I have found have been for the most part positive. My baby is significantly heavy for her age -- 10 months and almost 24 pounds. I hear that the Twist can get hard to push as the child grows heavier, which I'm sure she will. The representative from the store (the store is being VERY gracious in the handling of this exchange) told me that the Twist displays a significant quality improvement over the Salsa. In order to protect this store, I'm not going to mention the name - they have been wonderful.
Any suggestions? Should I sell it on eBay and get the Maclaren Quest I should've gotten in the FIRST PLACE?!?!?!?
I have been looking to the Twist stroller. It sounds great but as you said no reviews.
I only found this review

By the way did you get it? if so didi you like it?
The Twist arrived today. I took it out for a spin -- I liked it. Quite a bit! I'm going to reserve judgment for a while, though, but I will write an epinions review when I come to my final conclusion. (I did read that review...thanks!)
First impressions: it is sturdy and easy to steer -- with both my 30 pound toddler and my 24 pound (yes, 24) 10 month old. My baby loves it...she HATED the Salsa. She happily ate her snack on our 20 minute stroll. Also, the seat is nice and large -- both wide and deep. The recline mechanism works well. The hood is generous. I had occasion to use the rain cover today because of the wind, and it was easy to use and she didn't mind it at all. I also used the boot as it was quite chilly with the wind. Nice to have. Big basket, handy storage pocket on the back of the hood. All in all, a good first day out. My husband, who is 6'1" liked the handle height as well...he also thought it was A LOT better.
YES, I really do like it alot!!! It is performing very well. It has been out to the mall, on walks around the neighborhood, etc. many times now. My ever-more-picky 11 month old likes being in it and just isn't pitching the fits that she used to in the Salsa.
No little weird issues have surfaced. I even steered it today one-handed while holding a Starbuck's Peppermint Mocha
You're from Valencia? My husband is Army and we're stationed at Fort Irwin but we're going to LA next week to pick his sister up from the airport. I found online that there's an Earl Of Sandwich there...have you seen it, do you know it does exist? I LOVE that place and have been trying to find one.
Thanks.
