Designed for Easy Maneuverability
A major drawback of many double strollers is space limitation: they're too bulky to squeeze into smaller spaces. With its compact, lightweight, umbrella-style frame, however, the Joovy Groove can easily maneuver into smaller spaces than other bulkier double strollers, making it much easier to do your shopping or stroll down narrow pathways at the park. It weighs just 29 pounds and measures 41.5 x 29 x 30 inches (HxWxD). And the stroller folds easily into a compact package -- 10.5 x 18.5 x 40.5 inches (HxWxD) -- making it easier to stow in your trunk or garage. Safety and Comfort
Your children, whether you have twins or an older, independently sitting infant and a toddler, will travel in cool, convenient comfort in the stroller's side x side, forward-facing seats. They feature a four-position recline for comfortable napping. The nylon mesh cover wicks away moisture, and an insulating fleece helps maintain a nice, warm temperature, keeping your children dry and comfortable in all sorts of weather. Parents will appreciate that the lining is completely washable. Each seat has its own three-position sun shade with viewing windows, so you can keep an easy eye on your little ones. The Joovy Groove is designed for safety, too, with easy-to-use, one-step rear parking brakes and reflective tape for extra safety while walking in the dark. Ergonomic, foam-covered handles make it easy to push the stroller with minimal fatigue. And since parents always travel with plenty of gear, the Joovy offers storage for your essentials, with a zippered pocket located at the back of each seat, and two cup holders for keeping snacks or drinks close at hand. | Also available in: |  | Blue |
Product Description
Great 2 maneuver! More than eye-catching, the Groove 2 is the perfect combination of form and function. The compact design is small enough to fit through a doorway, yet comfortable for both children and convenient for parents. Joovy understands that as your family grows space is at a premium. That's why the Groove 2 is not only easy to operate in places that would be otherwise challenging with most double strollers - it also takes up minimal space when folded. The Groove 2 offers all the features and comfort in a design that is easy to manage. Features: - Nylon mesh cover designed to wick away hot weather moisture from your child's skin
- Soft weave gentle to the touch and is completely washable
- Insulating fleece helps maintain warmth by trapping heat
- Child stays warm and dry even on the coolest days
- Two oversized, 3-position, sun canopy with closable viewing window
- Two cup holders for bottled water or soda
- Zippered storage pocket for glasses, iPods or wallets
- Deluxe fabric with reflective tape
- One-step link parking brake, one click locks and unlocks both brakes
- Ergonomically designed, foam covered handles for maximum comfort
- 4-position, one-hand reclining seat

 Very Disappointing January 6, 2009
F. Williams (Clarksville, TN)
I ordered this stroller (from a different retailer) to cart around my 2 year old, and my soon to be 6 month old baby. The few reviews I could find online were generally positive, and given the relatively lower price for this stroller compared to the others I was looking at (Maclaren Twin Techno and Baby Jogger City Mini Double were both upwards of $300; this one cost me $200), I figured it was worth the gamble. Well, I gambled and lost.
Admittedly, I did NOT ever take this one the road. I never made it there because it was so ridiculously hard to open it, adjust the recline on the seats, work the brakes, and then reverse all of my hard work to close it back again, that I decided it was going to be way more trouble than its worth. I have an active toddler and a squirmy 6 month old. There was no way I could afford a "break-in period", or to be fiddling with adjusting a million bells and whistles just to run errands or take a stroll with my kids. If you are like me, you need something that will come out of the box pretty much ready to roll, with features that are intuitive to operate. This stroller was not that.
I am returning the Groove 2, and will be getting the Baby Jogger City Mini Double instead. Its a little more money, but having test driven it, I can say with confidence that the Mini Double is -- for me -- worth the extra $$. Sometimes you do get exactly what you pay for, or even less; and for me, the Groove 2 fell in that category. Joovy got it right with the Caboose and I look forward to buying one when my 2 year old is too old for a regular stroller, but they've got some work to do on the Groove 2.
I recommend either paying the additional cash for a more heavily reviewed and tested brand of double stroller, or get something less expensive but simple to operate. I now know why there are so few online reviews of this stroller.
 Great for my 6 month old and 3.5 year old! November 1, 2008

Pro's, very manuverable, stylish, super quality fabric, lots of storage, compact when folded. The fabric they sit on is reversible for either cool fabric or warm fleece for here in Alaska.
Con's like others stated would be the little clip on the handlebars that keeps the thing folded, and the sunshade inside joint that is really hard to set or release. Also a little hard to open the stroller. I feel all of these complaints are very minor.
We bought this for an upcoming trip to disneyworld. I was surprised when looking at their strollers to see that they were all really hard plastic and not soft for younger children. I was nervous opening this stroller in the parking lot of our halloween bazaar (my test run) since it was very rocky and ice/snowy. The stroller took it like a champ with both my kiddos loaded up. The seats are super cushy and it's so nice to have one sat upright for my daughter (who's an in and out of the stroller kinda kid). My son just kinda chilled looking at his sister happily for a couple hours and my back wasn't aching from my bjorn with his chunky lil butt. For me the stroller was a great surprise in quality. I looked up reviews on everything, and had a really hard time ordering this one because there just aren't very many reviews out there. My main goals for this stroller was being able to fit my 28 lb 3 year old and my son at 8 months (with potential for naps), plus we needed a sunshade and some storage. The only prob I ran into at the halloween fest was trying to get adults to pay attention so I could get out but it was nutty and way too packed. Overall I DEFINITELY recommend!
Not worth the price. August 28, 2008

I was very excited when receiving this stroller, however, it is not worth the price. The stroller itself is VERY heavy compared to other side-by-side umbrella type stroller. It is at least 27lbs (without the canopy attached). The quality and built of the stroller is not what I would expect for the price. The lock to keep the stroller closed is just a piece of plastic that hooks the handle to the frame, not like other stroller in this price range that automatically lock when folded. The seats are not comfortable and awkward. I would compare this to Cosatto/Avalon Luna Twin stroller which is a better deal and was sold for $199 (similar features as this one but also includes adjustable leg support, footmuffs, and raincover). Very disappointed. I don't mind paying for quality, but the price/quality of this product is not up to snuff. I ended up returning the product.

Great compact umbrella stroller. The wheels were a bit squeaky but easily fixable. Also, the closure to keep the stroller folded is awkward. However, the sun protection from the canopy is wonderful. As a twin mom, I have tried more than a few strollers and this one is great! While I loved the City Mini Double jogging stroller the most, the seats were too reclined and my little ones didn't like sitting/lying so far back. The seats on the joovy are more upright. All in all, a great stroller for the price.
Finally found a great stroller for our 2 kids! July 23, 2008

We did a lot of research looking for a good stroller for our 6 month old and almost 2 1/2 year old girls after getting frustrated by the weight and bulk of our Kolcraft Contours limousine and decided, based on tons of good reviews all over the web, on this Joovy Groove 2. It has the best combination of features that were important to us - lightweight (it's all relative with double strollers), great sunshades, easy to fold, reasonable price, comfortable and adjustable for the kids, tall enough shades for our toddler to have plenty of room, and small enough to fit through doorways... and it looks good too!
The only downside we've found so far is that when folding it up and locking it, the little locking mechanism is hard to get to and pops off completely sometimes when unlocking it.
Other than that, it seems pretty durable and we hope it will last a good long time!
