 Stroller for Two December 1, 2008
Claudia Anderson (Des Moines, IA)
I have had my Joovy Caboose Ultralight for almost a month and love it. It is light weight and easy to fold and unfold. I have a 3 year old and a newborn, this stroller fit my needs perfect because my 3 year old doesn't like to always ride in a stroller, yet she gets tired of walking. The "stand" part of the stroller is perfect for her, she can even sit down on the little bench if she wants too. The only problem I've encountered so far is that when using with an infant seat the older child does not have a lot of room to sit. However, that seems to bother me more than my 3 year old. I have a Peg Perego infant seat and it's fabulous that the Joovy Caboose compatible with that seat. I wish there was more storage, but I new before buying that storage was limited and made adjustments. I bought the J.J. Kole diaper bag system that hangs on the handle (works fabulous). I also bought the parent tray for the Joovy Caboose and that holds everything I need at arms length . . . bottled water, keys, bottle, pacifier, phone . . . I am very satisfied with the stroller and would advise anyone looking at double strollers to consider this. Especially if you have a toddler like mine who doesn't want to just sit in a stroller all the time.
Love the Joovy November 26, 2008
A. Flynn (Mountain View, CA United States)
What an awesome package deal Amazon had. It came with two extra accessories so I didn't have to pay extra to buy them (it was a speacial seat cover and the parent organizer). The item did not say these two accessories were included so I was pleasantly surprised when I found them in the box. I love the color and functionality and my three year old loves riding on it, whether sitting or standing. And because it's the ultralight, it's manageable to steer and to put away in the car.
 Great stroller but could use some improvements. November 23, 2008
Gina R. Campbell
I really like this stroller however the basket could be a little larger and easier to get too. It does not have a standard cup holder but mine came with one and it would be great if it had a harder one. I understand that it needs to be soft for your little one but they could put it to the outside of the stroller towards you that way it won't get in the way of your little one standing or getting in/out of the stroller. Very light weight stroller and that's great. We recently took it on a weekend trip and I have no complaints about the weight or how it handles. As explained before it could use some improvements with other things.
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.
