Customer Reviews:

nice stroller with a few design flaws

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!!

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!

light like they promised!

After researching dozens of double strollers, I purchased the joovy ultralight caboose. I have a 20-mon-old and another on the way and wanted something light enough to use everyday. I tried it out with my friend's toddler and even with over 50 pounds worth of kid (my friend's boy in the front, my son in the back) it was easy to push. I like that it turns easily and is nice and narrow. In fact, it is about the same size and weight as my single graco stroller, and steers much better even with two kids! Have yet to try the infant car seat attachment, but I plan on using that once the baby is born.

Works well with many infant car seats.

I wanted to make sure that this stroller was compatible with the infant car seat that we had. I did a little research and went to www.joovy.com. There is a car seat compatibility list that you can click on after you select the model you want. Then I came back to order it from Amazon.com since it was eligible for free shipping. I've been using it for a few weeks now and I'm very satisfied with the way it works with our infant car seat and my 2 ½ yr old loves riding on the bench.

Great stroller, even with an older child

We bought this stroller b/c our 4 1/2 year old (who is tall for her age) still loved to ride in her stroller. She is now 5 and 47 pounds and still loves it, sitting or standing. She has never been bothered by leaning forward when the infant carrier is in place though I can see how some children would find this annoying. She loves how she can sit under the canopy when it sunny or raining and doesn't mind hunching down a bit. I appreciate the ease of this stroller as well as the sage color I chose. I purchased the babytrend infant carseat-carrier and it matches perfectly (great Consumer Report rating too). The only problem I have with the stroller is that her feet often slip off the footrest. There is a lip on the footrest for the back of her heels and it would be nice if it continued around to the front. This easy fix would prevent this problem. I find that I'm not the only mom complaining of this, based on reviews here. It would also be nice if the stroller could stand up when folded. I have a small, one-child stroller that stands on it's four wheels and it's so nice when moving it for whatever reason or storing it when not in use. You have to lie this stroller down, and because it's long makes it more annoying. I'd love if you could just fold it up and let go of it while you take stuff out of the car or whatever. That would be a nice design change. Anything to make a mom's life easier. My 8 year old, tall son, has also sat in it on occasion, although he's way too large for it. He's 76 pounds which exceeds the weight limit of course, but it hasn't broken, thank goodness! We have a large SUV so the size has never been a problem. Overall, it's been a great stroller ad I'm very happy to have it!
