Baby Products Reviews of Joovy Caboose Ultralight Stand On Tandem Stroller, Sunset
Customer Review: What an amazing stroller!!
Summary: 5 Stars
We looked into many strollers and wanted to buy the Joovy for our youngest children, a 4 month old & 4 year old. I talked to parents who had the Joovy & said it was a little hard to steer. So, we bought the Ultralight, and we LOVE it. It's super easy to drive, even with a 35 pound preschooler sitting or standing on the back. The wheels are so nice. The stroller was super easy to assemble - my 4 year old & I put it together in minutes, with no tools. The big canopy is great for keeping the sun off of BOTH kids - and the color makes it stand out in a crowd (or stroller parking area at the zoo). It's really not much larger than a standard stroller, so it's not difficult to steer through crowded places - and it's just as nice on a walk. Another bonus of the Joovy - it works with many brands of infant car seats.
It's a little bit pricier than the standard Joovy, but it comes with the Parent Organizer included (the original Joovy doesn't) and that's $25 extra if you want to buy it. So it's really not a bad price if you factor in the Parent Organizer & the awesome wheels.
Customer Review: The Perfect Stroller for Tot and Infant
Summary: 5 Stars
I am so thrilled with this stroller! I've got a 3 year old and 5 month old that we still like to keep in the carseat and this stroller really fit the bill.
My 3 year old loves how she can easily get on and off when she gets tired/feels like walking, and I really like that my infant faces me. It is very easy to use with the carseat with the adapter that's included. when she's old enough to sit in the front seat, I was glad to see that the harness is attached and will be a great secure seat. We have a peg perego for our first single stroller and I was always annoyed that the harness wasn't attached to the back of the seat except by a little hook that use to always slip out. Not such a big deal as my tot got bigger, but not helpful when she was an infant.
what I also like is how easy it is to open and close, and how light it is! It's a little long with the car seat adapter, but fits easily into my Hylander. It's also a great shade of Orange.
Would definitely recommend this to anyone with a toddler and smaller child.
Customer Review: Great Stroller for 2
Summary: 5 Stars
This stroller has been great for my almost 3 year old and infant. I travel quite a bit alone with the 2 kids, so I bought this stroller to help me around in the airport. My older daughter loves riding on the back and actually rides longer than she would in an umbrella stroller. This really helps with my stress level while we are traveling in crowded airports.
My only complaint is that to collapse the stroller you really need both hands free, which for me is not possible with my younger child. I modified mine so that I could collapse it with one hand. I zip-tied a dowel to both of the collapsing triggers. (The dowel spans just under the parent organizer.) So now all I have to do is pull on the dowel in the center with one hand and the stroller will collapse.
The storage under the stroller has not been an issue for me as I usually pack light and don't carry a full diaper bag when we are out and about. I used to only use an umbrella stroller for everything, so had even less storage before I bought this stroller.
Customer Review: served its purpose
Summary: 4 Stars
I agree with most of other reviewers comments, it is a very good one if you have an active 3 year old, especially a boy. My 3.5 boy would give this stroller a 5 star as now he refuses to ride his bike & scooter, all he does is get in and out of the stroller, he never gets tired of it, he stand on it backford, forward, sideward, sit on it, knee on it, ride it like a scooter, hand and dangle from the push bar, it is so much fun.
The sunshade seems to be sufficiently large.
However, for a parent, the front seat seems to be too hard (not well cushioned), my baby does not seem to be too comfortable in it (but he does not complain), and the stroller is not as sturdy as my other strollers, it wiggles which makes me worry that it may fall apart. It is especially not sturdy on an even path, and prone to tilt over, and hard to push around on uneven path (which is what we like to do).
And, the front tray is difficult to get off, unlike other ones you can unhook one side and swirle it to the side.
Customer Review: A good option for big kids who still need a ride
Summary: 3 Stars
I loved my double jogger, but at some point (around 4.5 years/1.5) the seat just wasn't big enough for my oldest, and her elbow was in her baby brother's face. So, we moved on and got the Joovy Caboose Ultralight. My kids are now 5.5 and nearly 3 and they both ride comfortably in the Joovy Caboose. In fact, my youngest won't ride in his umbrella stroller even when big sister is at school--he wants to ride in the Joovy Caboose. The minuses are the tray that is hard to attach and detach, being harder to push than a double jogger, and not turning on a dime. Unfortunately, double strollers are always a compromise, especially with bigger kids. The pluses are a super canopy, great parent caddy with drink holder and zipper pouch, compact size, good fold, and great stability. It requires both hands to push on bumpy surfaces, but is unbeatable for airport travel with two kids, since you can put luggage or a carseat on the rear seat, and make your big kid walk. It is generally very good for indoor use.
