Learn the simple steps to fold your Joovy Kooper RS2 double stroller into a compact, self-standing shape for easy storage and travel.

Quick answer

Folding the Joovy Kooper RS2 double stroller takes about 30 seconds once you know the sequence: remove accessories, release the secondary locks, pull the folding trigger, and push the handlebar down until the frame locks flat.

Why the folding sequence matters

The Kooper RS2 is a side-by-side double stroller designed for everyday adventures. Its compact fold relies on a specific order of steps. If you skip the secondary lock release or leave a snack tray attached, the frame may not collapse fully. Taking an extra moment to prepare saves you from wrestling with a half-folded stroller in a hallway or car trunk.

The stroller stands upright when folded, which helps with storage but also means you need to engage the auto-lock properly. A common frustration is the stroller popping open if the lock isn't fully seated — the steps below help you avoid that.

Step-by-step folding instructions

  1. Remove accessories and empty the seats: Take off any parent organizer, cup holders, or snack trays attached to the frame. Remove children and any heavy items from the seat baskets. Check that both seats are empty and the harness straps are not caught on the frame. Common mistake: leaving a snack tray attached can block the fold mechanism. Always remove trays first.
  2. Release the secondary lock on the handlebar: Locate the small secondary lock button or slider near the center of the handlebar. Slide or press it to unlock the folding mechanism. This safety lock prevents accidental folding while pushing the stroller. Checkpoint: if the handlebar won't move, the secondary lock is still engaged. Release it fully before proceeding.
  3. Pull the folding trigger and push the handlebar down: With one hand, squeeze or pull the folding trigger (usually a lever under the handlebar). While holding the trigger, use your other hand to push the handlebar forward and downward toward the front wheels. The frame will begin to collapse. Common mistake: pushing the handlebar without pulling the trigger first can damage the locking mechanism. Always activate the trigger before applying force.
  4. Press the frame until the auto-lock clicks: Continue pushing the handlebar down until the two halves of the frame meet. You should hear a distinct click from the auto-lock. The stroller will now stand upright on its own. Tug gently on the handlebar to confirm the lock is secure. Checkpoint: if the stroller doesn't stay folded, the auto-lock may not have engaged. Try pressing the frame together more firmly until you hear the click.
  5. Lift and carry or roll the folded stroller: The folded Kooper RS2 has a carry handle or strap on the side. Use it to lift the stroller into your trunk or storage area. If you prefer, you can tilt the folded stroller on its back wheels and roll it like a suitcase over short distances. Common mistake: carrying the stroller by the seat fabric can stretch the material. Always use the designated carry handle.
