Quick Answer
Choose the Kooper RS for a roomier, eco-friendly seat with a leather handlebar and a near-flat recline; choose the original Kooper for a more budget-friendly, lightweight stroller with a tall seat and UPF 50+ canopy.
Seat Size and Comfort
Both strollers offer big seats for their class, but the Kooper RS goes further with a roomy, near-flat recline that helps toddlers nap on the go. The original Kooper has a multi-position reclining seat and adjustable leg rest, which gives good support but doesn't lie as flat as the RS.
Materials and Eco-Friendliness
The Kooper RS stands out with fabric made from 100% recycled materials and a full-grain leather handlebar, adding a touch of luxury and sustainability. The original Kooper uses standard fabrics and a more basic handlebar, keeping its price lower.
Folding and Portability
Both models feature a compact, one-handed fold for easy storage and travel. The Kooper RS is slightly heavier due to its larger seat and recycled fabric, but both remain lightweight enough for everyday errands and air travel.
