Streamlined Efficiency and Convenience
Double strollers can be bulky and difficult to maneuver, with side x side seats creating an extra-wide profile, or other tandems being too deep to maneuver easily. The Joovy Caboose ultra-light, however, is designed for streamlined ease. Weighing in at just 21 pounds and sporting a neat, compact profile, the Joovy Caboose ultra-light Stand-on Tandem Stroller is a breeze to get around. It measures 41.5 x 21.5 x 38 inches (HxWxD). Sealed ball-bearing wheels contribute to a smoother ride as well, and a foam-padded handle offers additional comfort. A roomy under-seat basket provides room for your traveling essentials, and the nifty neoprene "Cool Essentials Parent Organizer," which includes a cup holder, keeps keys, your cell phone, and a drink close at hand. A Fun, Comfortable Ride
The stroller is compatible with many infant car seats (see list below), offering easy "snap and go" convenience for traveling with a young infant. Once your baby is old enough to sit up independently, she can sit facing forward, secured safely with a five-point harness. Snacks and a drink are close at hand thanks to the removable child tray, and a wide sun shade keeps her safe from the elements. Whether you're browsing at the mall or trekking through the zoo, your older child will love the versatility that the Joovy Caboose ultra-light provides. When she gets tired of walking, she can simply hop onto the standing platform. Comfortably padded handles are available for her to hold. Or she can take a rest on the adjustable, padded seat, which is also equipped with a three-point harness. Compatible Car Seats
The Joovy Caboose ultra-light Tandem Stroller can be used with the following infant car seat models: The Graco Snug Ride Series and Safe Seat; the Peg Perego Primo Viaggio and Primo Viaggio SIP; the Evenflo Embrace; the Compass Light & Portable Infant Car Seat; the Britax Companion; the Safety 1st Designer 22; the Eddie Bauer Infant Car Seat (models 22-625 and 22-626); the Baby Trend Latch-Loc & Flex-Loc; the Chicco Key Fit Car Seat; the Combi Centre Series and Combi Connection; and the Maxi-Cosi Mico. | Also available in: |

 Wow, what a stroller!! August 29, 2008
I have a 3 1/2 year old and I'm expecting a new baby, so I decided to get a sit-n-stand stroller. A friend of mine has one, but it's ridiculously hard to push and turn. I decided that one of my big must-have's for this stroller would be ease of turning and this stroller seems to do the job. My second child hasn't been born yet, but I tried pushing this stroller around my carpeted living room with my toddler both in back and up front and it is still incredibly easy to turn and push, even on the carpet, so I have high hopes for when I have both kids on it.
With my toddler sitting on the back, the basket is hard to get to, but it's not like I wouldn't stop to take anything out of the basket anyway, so it's simple to ask my toddler to get up so I can access the basket. The seat for the toddler has about 8 inches or so to slide back and forth and if you slide the seat forward the basket is easily accessible. Additionally, you can slide the seat forward while the baby is reclines and it allows the toddler to sit without being hunched forward, though his footstep is then directly underneath him (not a problem unless your child is trying to get on/off the stroller while it is in motion).
There are various positions for the baby to be in with the front seat being either upright or reclines and the footrest being either down or pointed out front (elevated). The sun canopy can be moved to numerous positions to cover both baby and toddler when the sun is overhead, or you can move it to the front or back to completely cover the baby (if sleeping) or even the toddler.
The food tray for the front seat has 2 cupholders, which is nice since you can have a drink for the baby within easy reach and a drink for the toddler that they can grab on the go while they're running around. Additionally, mine came with a "parent organizer" which is a stretchy neoprene cloth that stretches over the handlebar. It includes two slots for drinks and a longer pocket (around 10" long) to put various items in and the other side (facing the toddler) has a smallish zippered pocket and a super long pocket (probably about 18") to put various items in. There's plenty of room there for snacks, drinks, toys, wallet, keys, iPod, etc. all within 2 inches of where your hands are when you're pushing the stroller.
Everything is super easy to assemble and take apart. It is super stylish and I can't even fathom anything that I would want in a sit-n-stand stroller that this stroller doesn't have, not to mention several things they DO have that I never would have thought of. They have truly made a lightweight, durable product with everything a parent could ask for! I was a little nervous paying $250 for this, but now that I have it I consider it a bargain! Buy this stroller, you won't regret it!!
Great stroller!! August 27, 2008
We really love our Joovy Caboose Ultralight stroller! We have used it with our toddler (now preschooler) and our baby for almost 10 months now, and we couldn't have gotten around without it. It is smaller and much lighter weight than other double strollers, but it feels sturdy. It maneuvers easily, especially for a double stroller. Both kids look comfortable riding in it. The back-to-back positioning for the kids is good, because they don't grab each others' things. Everytime I go out with this stroller, I have people telling me what a well-designed stroller it is and asking me where I got it.
Great Choice for Newborn and 3 Year Old! August 25, 2008
I have a newborn and 3 1/2 year old. Little did I know I would need a stroller to accomodate both girls. Not only is the Joovy ultralight lighter (good for me, I am a weakling)than other strollers that have a sit/stand feature for the older child, the color choices are awesome! The red stroller I purchased came with the cool essentials parent organizer and a reversible seat cover for the front. I use the organizer to hold my wallet, keys, cell phone, water for me and my 3 year old and small bag of snacks. I have not used the seat cover since the baby will be in the carrier until she is 6 months. I have been using the stroller for a month and my 3 year old loves it. She always asks if we can use the new stroller. She is small for her age, so even with the front seat reclined as far back as it goes (there are only 2 settings,no full recline, for the front seat) to accomodate the baby carrier, Isabella has enough seat room but a larger child may have to sit more forward and not have enough sitting space or lean forward which would be uncomfortable after a time. She also enjoys the option of sitting or standing and the padded handles are comfortable for her to hold onto in either position. Be sure to read the instructions if you are concerned about the rear seat sliding. There are snaps to hold it securely in place. One of the most beneficial features of this stroller is the extra large canopy. Both girls can be completely protected from the hot Texas sun. The stroller is easy to maneuver, fits down all kinds of store aisles and tight places and handles asphalt and concrete smoothly. If you have trouble turning be sure your front wheels are not locked so they will swivel freely. I have not used it "off road" like at a fair, trade show or other indoor/outdoor event so I am not sure how it wheels on dirt/grass. I hope to try it out at Canton Trade Days soon. My husband has pushed the stroller a couple of times and he agrees that it maneuvers better than he originally thought it would due to the weight of both girls. As far as the storage underneath, it is small but functions fine with a small diaper bag or your older child's belongings. You can access it from the back of the stroller when the older child is out of the way, have the older child pull out your stuff or pull out the stretchy sides to retrieve contents. I happen to have a good-sized diaper bag that I use for long day trips that can be snapped onto the stroller handle. I have also placed a bag under the baby carrier in the front seat with the foot rest locked in the upright position to keep the bag from accidently falling out when I run out of room underneath or in the parent organizer. Obviously this will not work when the baby is no longer in the carrier, but for now it's another storage place. The stroller fits fine in the back of our RAV-4 (the 2004 smaller RAV)and as long as I remove the canopy and carrier attachment I can stand the stroller upright (be sure rear wheels are locked) and hold it in place with a strap I have or lay it down and still fit small additional items. This means a little more time getting the stroller in and out of the vehicle, but it is worth it. Great looking stroller, easy for me to use, easy to put together (I had to put the wheels on) and fun for my older child!
 nice stroller with a few design flaws August 10, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I researched tons of strollers and finally decided on this one. None of them are perfect but this one seemed to fit my needs the best. (I have a 3 month old and a 26 month old)
Pros:
- Very light
- turns very well
- fairly easy to fold
- kids seem to like it
Cons:
- If you are using the infant attachment you have to take it off every time you put it in your trunk. (I have a mid-sized sedan) It doesn't bother me that much but drives my husband crazy.
- It doesn't stand up on its own when its folded. We have to make sure that the wheels are locked and then prop it up against something. It's a bit more annoying then I thought it would be.
Overall, I am happy with my choice and would recommend it to others with children around the same age.
A Double Stroller Without The Double Headache!! August 8, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
In order to truly appreciate this stroller I had to own 3 previous double stroller duds. As a self-confirmed cheapskate I cannot stress enough that the Joovy Caboose is worth every penny. Simple to put together, manuevers easily,the canopy on both sides provide the best protection from the sun I've seen, very light and simple to collapse and open. Other double strollers were so frustrating I was debating which child to get rid of. Now when I run over a foot or ram someone with my double stroller it is not on accident.:)Thank You Joovy!
