Baby Products Reviews of Joovy Caboose Ultralight Stand On Tandem Stroller, Sunset
Customer Review: We tried them all--this is the one!
Summary: 5 Stars
My children are 2 1/2 years apart, so we assumed that our older daughter would walk once our younger one was born, and the baby would ride in our stroller. After an entire summer of carrying the baby and letting my oldest sit in the stroller when she tired of walking, I decided to give my back a break this year and invest in a double stroller. With my now four-year-old, a side-by-side wasn't a good option, because she's big and also likes to hop in and out often. We bought the Sit-N-Stand because they sold it locally at Target, but I had to return it because it was like pushing a train. I'm not a big person, and a 30 pound, long, clunky stroller plus sixty pounds of kids was just too much for me. I returned it. I had tried a friend's Joovy, but now I knew that lighter weight and easier steering were critical when you're pushing two kids. The Caboose Ultralight fits the bill. It turns easily and tightly, and the distance between the front and back wheels is shorter than on the Sit-N-Stand, so it doesn't feel like a train. It's also ten pounds lighter (whew!). Both my kids like it just fine, and the sun canopy actually covers them both (others didn't).
If you're looking for a tandem but worried about paying the extra hundred bucks over the Sit-N-Stand (or even the extra $70 over the regular Joovy), I would say it's worth it. Sure, it looks similar to the other two, but it is just so much easier to use. Plus--let's face it--the design and color are just so much cooler than the Sit-N-Stand. Go for it. I was glad I did.
Customer Review: This is a hit for us!

I needed a stroller for my 2 1/2 year old and 10 month old. I was using my Peg P3 with the baby while my oldest walked, but this only really worked when doing a short errand or when my husband came along and carried him when he got tired. It was time for a double stroller! This stroller was easy to assemble. I was pleased with the orange color. The real test was whether my son would sit or stand on the back. The minute I pulled it out, he sat on it and I couldn't get him off. He rode on it inside the house for a long while. He was wary about standing on it, but I'm sure that in time he'll be more comfortable. I've used it twice so far at malls and he's stayed on it, which is great. My 10 month old has no complaints either. She seems very content. The stroller is definately easy to push, easy to open and close. It fits in the trunk of my small 4 door sedan (although it uses up almost all of the room). The parent organizer is awesome. I was even able to put a Starbucks frappuccino grande in the cup holder! The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 was because I think they should have designed the front seat to recline further down (maybe 3 options instead of 2) so that the baby could sleep more comfortably. Yes, it might be a problem for the 2nd child to sit, but they could stand or just walk along side the stroller. Also, there might be times that us parents might only have the younger child with us. Otherwise, this is a great stroller for those parents looking for an alternative to the side by side or long tandems.Customer Review: Best stroller ever!!!

Both my 4 year old and 6 month old are wonderful shoppers but on a marathon shopping day when I am by myself my 4 year old does get a little weary of treading around behind me. He thinks he is too grown up for a baby stroller but was very excited to see the big boy seat on the back of 'his baby's' stroller. This stroller is awesome!! It caters for both of their needs without cramping my style or their's. He can sit, stand or kneel and I think the best part about it is that the chioce is his. The baby is also well catered for in his comfy up-front seat. We just got back from a vacation to Mexico and this stroller was perfect. The adjustable hood came all the way sheilding the little guy from the sun and wind and the basket had more than enough room for purchases. My 6 year old neice even had a turn. The parent organizer is really neat, we held up to 4 drinks in it at a time and they even stayed cool with the neoprene insulation. Another plus is how light the stroller is to pick up and it is so easy to collapse and put up again. The only downfall about the stroller is the amount of times you will be stopped by passers-by who want to know all about it and where you got it. We love Joovy!!!!Customer Review: The perfect stroller for me

When my second child was born my first one was still under 2 so I decided to go with the more typical front back double stroller and that worked nicely for a time. As they both got older(now 3 and 1) I got tired of lugging the huge stroller around especially when my oldest was always in and out. So after much research I opted for the Joovy stroller. WE LOVE IT. My daughter loves the ability to get in and out, sit or stand. The front still reclines enough for my son to take a little nap if necessary. It does reduce the space for the back child once the seat is reclined but my daughter doesn't mind and usually takes that opportunity to stand or walk next to me. I have not had the need to put an infant seat in it but I suspect if you are planning to do this on a very regular basis this is probably not the best choice as I believe the back child would have little space and would need to be in an awkward position. We just took it on vacation to California and it was great in the airport and folded up quickly for gate check in. Also, love the color. It stands out especially in stroller parking at Seaword, Disney and the likes.Customer Review: Love it, love it, love it!!

We got this stroller about a month ago, for our newborn and 22 month-old. It has since replaced both strollers we owned before it! It steers like a dream - I can steer it with one hand with no problem - something we don't experience with our Graco single stroller. Our toddler loves the novelty of being able to hop on and off or walk for a while, so he's content to "ride" it without feeling like he's trapped in the stroller. However, the seat and harness are wonderful for the times when I do have to trap him! Since we are still using the front to hold a carrier carseat, our toddler does have slightly less room due to the carseat extending into his sitting area. That, however, will be fine once the baby is sitting forward in the stroller seat. The parent organizer is great, and fits all of my coffees so far. Folds easily, and is easy to pick up and load into my SUV. On occasions when I have to take just the baby, I still use the joovy because its so darn easy. I think we'll get even more use out of it when the weather warms up. I'd recommend to anyone interested in a double stroller with an older and younger child.
