 Very pleased, but there's no such thing as perfect November 11, 2008
Hannah's Mommy (Nashville, TN)
Pros:
lightweight
smooth roll
accommodates 3 year old and newborn (using Graco snug-ride infant seat)
canopy protects both kids from bright sun
parent organizer- drinks don't topple over, zippered pocket for cell phone, miscellany
easy assembly, including carseat adapter
bench seat slides to access basket
Cons:
Small basket, holds a purse or SMALL diaper bag, but not your shopping bags at the mall
bench seat does not lock into place (minor detail, doesn't affect usability)
Requires two hands to fold and unfold... slightly awkward
We test drove multiple double strollers, and finally settled on the Joovy. I literally stopped Moms and Dads at the zoo and other places to ask how they liked their double strollers, and the Joovy received consistent praises.
No double stroller is going to be perfect, and as a parent you have to decide what features matter most to you. If the big storage basket and multiple cup holders are what you need most, this is not the stroller for you. (Though the 2 cup holders in the parent organizer are good, the snack tray's cup holder does not seem stable). If you are looking for maneuverability and something that will work as your kids get older and outgrow huge diaper bags, but still occasionally need to rest from walking, this stroller is practically perfect.
My 33 lb, 38 inch tall 3 year old loves the big kid seat. She also still fits in the front seat when the baby is not with us. The baby doesn't really have an opinion, but he does fall asleep on strolls, and between the canopy on his infant carrier and the canopy on the stroller, his eyes are protected from the sun.
It fits fine in the back of our Toyota Highlander.
I am pleased with our choice overall.
 Freedom on wheels November 9, 2008
Rebecca Random (Saline, Michigan)
I am thrilled with this stroller. So long, monster graco double that requires muscles I never knew I had to turn. My six month old, who doesn't sit up yet very well, sat right up in the front seat and happily hit the tray. He loves it! It is incredibly easy to put together (snap the wheels on basically) and lift. The best part though, is the movement. It turns so well and feels like it glides when I push it.
I was slightly concerned that my 26 month old wouldn't be into the back seat, but she seems to love it! She gets to be in charge of the cup holder for her cup and my water bottle, which face her when she is sitting. She won't stand up.. yet.. but when she does there is a net pocket behind the seat that she can use. I was also wondering if the storage basket would be useless if the toddler is sitting on top of it - I found out that it is a net so I can reach in through the side if need be. Yay Joovy!
I also wondered about if the handle would be tall enough. I am 5'10 and am really uncomfortable with most umbrella-type strollers both because I kick them when I'm trying to push and it hurts my back to have to bend to grab them. No worries with this one, it is certainly tall enough (compare the height in the specs to your other strollers if you are concerened) and I haven't kicked. I will add an image of my husband, 6'1 with the stroller because I would have found that useful.
I never got to test out a Joovy Caboose non-ultralight so I can't speak to that issue. Once I knew I was going to buy the parent organizer, which comes with the ultralight (don't buy it separate!), I just went for it and assumed I would appreciate the other product upgrades.
love this stroller October 26, 2008
Daryl Philipp (Durango, CO)
Looking for a stroller for my three year old and new baby, I chose this one. It is perfect. I wanted something that would help wean my toddler's dependency on being pushed around while giving him the opportunity to have a break from walking. It has a smooth ride and is really sturdy. I haven't figured out how to use the stand part but I don't think that it's important. It is definitely big when folded but it is fairly light. Great stroller for what it is.
Great stroller October 21, 2008
KD617 (Everett, MA)
Stroller has been very effective. The only issue I have is that my older child constantly steps on the brakes when she gets on the "jump seat". The "jump seat" also slides back and forth especially when you don't want it to, I wish it locked into place. Otherwise a great stroller for the money and I like that I can navigate shopping isles with it and pop it in and out of my trunk with relative ease.
Awesome ride!! October 20, 2008
Stephen R. Marquess (Jefferson, GA)
I have newborn, 2 and 4 year old children, and while the 4 year old no longer needs a stroller, the 2 year old definitely needs containing!!/ This stroller works well for my 2 smaller children; the infant seat fits in the front, and the 2 year old can easily seat himself or stand. the only drawback is the storage area.. it is impossible to reach when my toddler is seated! a small price to pay for such a well made and easy to use stroller!
