Evenflo Hummingbird vs Joovy Kooper

Same $230 and very different weights: the Hummingbird is 9 lb, the Kooper 16 lb, and those 7 lb are why the Hummingbird exists. It also folds closer to carry-on size, 3.75 inches over against 7.3. The Kooper answers with a start at 3 months (or birth with an adapter), a 15 lb basket against 10, a tray option and a fold that stands, while the Hummingbird's warranty is 90 days. For flying with a toddler, the Hummingbird is the one to pack.

Folded, the Evenflo Hummingbird makes a 1.87 cu ft box to the Joovy Kooper's 4.45 cu ft. Neither fits a 22 x 14 x 9 in carry-on sizer: the Evenflo Hummingbird misses by 3.75 in and the Joovy Kooper by 7.3 in. The Evenflo Hummingbird is 7 lb lighter by its maker's figure (9 lb to 16 lb).
