 So far so good! June 21, 2010

We will be traveling to Canada and Disney this summer and we wanted a sturdy stroller that would contain our energetic 2 year old, have room for lots of theme park gear and provide a spot for our 6 year old to hitch a ride if he gets zonked. We considered others but settled on this as we want 1 more little one and this is the only ride on stroller that allows the infant seat to be closest to the parent pushing the stroller. We took it for a test run at Walmart with 1 child and the county fair with 2. The stroller certainly does not turn on a dime but neither would a fully loaded RV, which is what this thing is! The basket is VERY accesible and holds a huge amount of groceries - I could even see us using this for a light Costco run! I figure this will be important as we navigate through the airport and we need to haul our luggage and carry ons. The stroller handled well at the county fair as we rolled over bumpy terrain - we also had everything at our fingertips. My daughter was thrilled to get in and out of the jumpseat when we needed to quickly move through mobs of people without needing to be strapped into the front seat (although the jumpseat offers a 3 point buckle). A few moms with the Baby Trend sit/stand asked me about the Joovy and, in all honesty, they looked pretty flimsy next to the Joovy. I have a Baby Trend lite sport that was good for my daughter when she was smaller but it is rickety - I figure the sit/stand model may operate in a similar fashion (?). I snagged this stroller off of Craig's list in near perfect condition(with the parent organizer!) for $125 and I am thrilled! That being said, if I didn't find it on Craig's list I would have paid full price for what this stroller does for our family. I was going to order the seat covers but the kids don't seem to mind, although younger riders that spend more time in the stroller than my 2 may prefer a cushier ride - either way the construction makes the seats easy to clean without the covers!This stroller also folds up pretty compactly and flat although it is long but our Odyssey absorbs it well. It's kind of like pushing around those car grocey carts in terms of maneuverability. As with any stroller, know what your purpose is and what features you are willing to sacrifice for those you really want. We sacrificed handling and a parent tray that could hold my iced coffee upright (the joovy neoprene can only hold beverage that have a twist cap) for room and flexibility. For these reasons I give Joovy a 5 star rating!
This is the best designed stroller I've ever seen & I've seen a lot June 12, 2010

AWESOME stroller. (the design is great - i'm an engineer & I would so hire whoever designed this stroller in a second - this is the most well designed stroller I've ever seen) - you think "It'd be cool if it did this...." and it DOES! where do I start. kudos to the design team! the sun shades are fantastic, the child tray is so easy to take off to clean & it rotates so the child can climb in themselves... they also have another option where you can attach 2 sippy cup holders & then you never have to rotate the child tray to let the kid climb in themselves, but it's so easy to rotate the child tray it doesn't matter to me. It has a HUGE storage area which is VERY easily accessible by flipping up the rear child seat in the back, has great extra storage pockets on the side of the stroller... a few things would've made this stroller even better. It's as easy to push as the kolcraft tandems stroller... which means, it's very easy to push/turn but you can't do it with one hand. (...like how you can push the bob & bumbleride one handed). This is the easiest to push of the double tandem strollers without being a bob or bumbleride. It's equal to the kolcraft tandem in terms of pushing. (Much lighter & easier to fold than the kolcraft tandem though!) It's so so easy to fold the joovy ergo. so easy. it's such a brilliant design. you just push two little easy things on the sides & it collapses & locks too! it is an absolutely brilliant design. not too heavy either. the only reason i didn't keep it... well there are two reasons. 1. I wanted a stroller with the maneuverability of a bob stroller. I wanted one handed pushing, one handed turning. and 2. my older child (who's 4) & would be using the sit & stand part in the back - she likes to recline & have a real seat. she gets sleepy sometimes & with this stroller, she'd have to sit on an erganomic bench (although it doesn't have a back to lay back on) or she'd have to stand.... or they'd fight over who got the front seat. actually, I think that was it, the kids fought over who got the front seat. Anyhow, some kids don't have an issue with that - I know many people who have sit & stands. this is easily EASILY the best one on the market by FAR. Those are the only 2 downsides. again, 1. although the maneuverability is awesome, it's not a 1 handed stroller, and 2. my older child would want to lean back against a seat (that's just her though) & this doesn't have that. but boy, I would totally buy this stroller for a single child (it you think you might have more at some point) b/c the storage area is just GIGANITC. This is by far and away the coolest and best stroller design I've ever seen. So many well designed parts to this stroller. Love it!
 The perfect stroller for us May 13, 2010

After doing extensive research and shopping- the Joovy Ergo Caboose was the best stroller for us-
Here's why-
We live in NYC and we have to walk our very tall (43 inch) 3.5 year old and newborn daughter 1.5 miles to preschool every day. We needed one that my son could fit in with rubber tires that accommodated an infant carseat with room to grow. The Joovy is a perfect workhorse for us!
The major pros
1.) The stroller has big comfortable seats- the front looks like an aeron chair- the back seat is large enough so my son feels comfortable on longer excursions. It's big enough for a very tall toddler- in many double strollers with rubber tires like the PHil & Ted, Mountain Buggy and the Bob - my son's head was over the canopy or his feet were scrunched. Kudos for the five point harness style front seat.
2.) The Shade is big, roomy and adaptable- it really covers- now that my daughter is 7 months old and is sitting in the front, this is very important- the shade is roomier and more adjustable than any stroller I've had.
3.) The storage is amazing. After dropping my son off at school- I use it as a shopping cart- I can fit up to 5 full grocery bags from Whole Foods in it- I shop with it and wheel it home.
4.) The ride is smooth- it's the only front/back stroller with the rubber tires- key to push up and down curves.
5.) The infant car seat adapter is such so the newborn faces you- this was awesome- I could tend to my baby girl while my son was hanging out in the front seat.
6.) I was pretty impressed with the ease of the fold- once you got the rhythm it's rather simple- not too heavy for a double.
The cons-
1.) when my son was in front (he weighs about 33 pounds) and my daughter was in the back- the weight distribution made it so that it was hard to push- and especially turn. Since my son is now in the back and the lighter child is in the front, this problem went away- the turning radius is not as easy as some strollers but once you get used to it- it's not bad (still 10x better than non-rubber tire strollers)
2.) The front seat is a bit shallow- given the length of the stroller- there is room for the bottom of the front seat to recede further back- If I didn't strap my son in- he would slide out very easily if we went over a bump- we learned our lesson quickly and knew that it was a temporary situation with my son in the front, but it would be nice for Joovy to adapt.
3.) The tires are hard to fill in the back- but Joovy customer service is great- we already popped a tire- they sent us another one relatively quickly.

an awesome double stroller! I hesitated at first, when I saw the price for this stroller, but after getting it in the mail, I feel like it is worth every penny that I spent. When I read reviews about this stroller, I saw that there were a lot of complaints about filling the tires with air. This is not such a hard task if you actually read how to work the air pump. The pull-out tubing is flexible and allows you to fill the tires easily. I also bought the fleece set, the deluxe seat covers, and the parent's organizer. This stroller is much lighter than my Eddie Bauer double stroller (I wouldn't consider it heavy at all), and the best part about it is that it can fit in my SUV without having to put the third row down (like I have to do with the Eddie Bauer). My daughter is a tall five year old, and she can fit in both the front and the back of this stroller very easily, and she isn't squished in the front because her legs are too long like she is in the Eddie Bauer. While there are a few things that I would change about this stroller, I am very happy with my purchase. We now own both the Kooper and the Ergo, and to me, you get a lot of bang for your buck.
Things I would change (already contacted Joovy about them):
- Front part of the canopy being the flimsy fleece material. Why couldn't they keep it consistent and make it like the rear part of the canopy?
- They should make it so that the carseat can not only attach to the rear of the stroller, but the front of it as well.
- I think the cupholders should be able to attach somewhere near the rear seat, and not just where the tray would go in the front. That way if you're using the tray in front, you can still use the cupholders for either mom or other child in back.
- Rear seat could be a little bit wider since there is a decent size gap behind the rear seat and the back of the front seat.
- Attachment for infant carseat could somehow be used for a back rest on the rear seat. At first, that's what I thought it was also used for, but then I realized it didn't serve a double purpose and that it was only designed for use with the infant carseat.
 Joovy Ergo Caboose Stoller needs improvements! March 21, 2010

I to wanted to love this stroller! I do in some ways...
I love that my 3 year old fits in front, and she should be able to fit there for a few more years (very spacious). My 1 year old fits perfectly in the front too with lots of room to grow! I didn't mind paying the price, but I did expect higher quality from Joovy, since we had tried the Joovy Original and love it. Let's start with the wheels, no problems so far. I would have loved to have the larger wheels on the front; it would have made a soother ride for the kids & made it easier to push for the parents. The small wheels are fine; it just would have been nice to have the same wheels up front. The basket is large and fits a large diaper bag, a medium purse, and a few odds an ends. The front seat is a great mesh design (wonderful for summer). The tray is a little higher than my last stroller, but it works out just fine with both of my children. We love the 5 pt. latch system. We did buy the extra padding for the seats...provides more comfort and warmth due to the front seat being made of mesh material. It also help my 1 yr during nap and keep them both a little warmer in the winter months. There is plenty of leg room in the front seat and back as well. What I don't like about the front seat it that it will come unlatched. It moves to the reclining position by itself. The latch area needs to be redesigned so that the bar will hook and only come unhooked when the position lever is released by the parent. My 3 yr old loves the back stand and seat; we love the 3 pt latch system! I wish it would the seat would have slid back and forth to provide more foot room, but it does it's job. The canopy is large! I like it except the very front of the canopy that goes over the front seat. It is made of a soft/floppy material...it flops around and is often in my daughter's eyes because there is no way to position it. I wish it would have been made of the material that covers the back seat area; it also collects lint, is not water proof, and is poorly made. The baby car seat attachment is wonderful. One of the best on the market. I love that the baby is facing the parent! The locking wheels are nice, but you have to double check them to make sure that they are both alignment correct before locking the system. Easy folding and opening. The other down fall is that for the price it does not come with a parent tray... All in all, this is pricey but a good/average stroller...I just truly dislike the front canopy; it is awful. The front seat position mechanism needs to be redesigned! Plus, a parent try would have been nice!
