Streamlined Efficiency and Convenience
Double strollers can be bulky and difficult to maneuver, with side x side seats creating an extra-wide profile, or other tandems being too deep to maneuver easily. The Joovy Caboose, however, is designed for streamlined ease. Sporting a neat, compact profile, the Joovy Caboose Stand-on Tandem Stroller is a breeze to get around. It measures 41.5 x 21.5 x 38 inches (HxWxD).A foam-padded handle offers additional comfort, and a roomy under-seat basket provides room for your traveling essentials. A Fun, Comfortable Ride for your Children
The stroller is compatible with many infant car seats (see list below), offering easy "snap and go" convenience for traveling with a young infant. Once your baby is old enough to sit up independently, she can sit facing forward, secured safely with a five-point harness. Snacks and a drink are close at hand thanks to the removable child tray, and a removable sun shade keeps her safe from the elements. Whether you're browsing at the mall or trekking through the zoo, your older child will love the versatility that the Joovy Caboose provides. When she gets tired of walking, she can simply hop onto the standing platform. Comfortably padded handles are available for her to hold. Or she can take a rest on the adjustable, padded seat, which is also equipped with a three-point harness. Compatible Car Seats
The Joovy Caboose ultra-light Tandem Stroller can be used with the following infant car seat models: The Graco Snug Ride Series and Safe Seat; the Peg Perego Primo Viaggio and Primo Viaggio SIP; the Evenflo Embrace; the Compass Light & Portable Infant Car Seat; the Britax Companion; the Safety 1st Designer 22; the Eddie Bauer Infant Car Seat (models 22-625 and 22-626); the Baby Trend Latch-Loc & Flex-Loc; the Chicco Key Fit Car Seat; the Combi Centre Series and Combi Connection; and the Maxi-Cosi Mico. | Also available in: |

And parents make out too because the Caboose is lightweight and folds up compactly. It also has a large basket and storage pockets for everything you'll need to take along with you.

Good stroller with room for improvement July 12, 2008
We got this stroller for our 2 year old and newborn, after buying a $250.00 Graco double stroller that was heavy, long and not comfortable for the toddler. This stroller is slightly longer than a regualer stroller which is great. My now 3 year old can sit or stand when he chooses. Here's where Joovy needs to make improvements:
1. Make the front seat recline all the way. Sometimes I only have the baby, and when he's sleeping, he can't get comfortable with the seat up like that. Also, when we go to friends houses, I don't have a place for him to nap because of the seat.
2. The basket underneath is not deep enough to hold a diaper bag. Make it bigger.
3. The toddler seat could be a little wider and should have a way to lock it into place. My 3 year old often falls off because it slides back.
4. Attach a toddler basket to the side. I actually made one to hold his sippy cup and a car or two. Works great when he is standing and has to hold on with both hands.
5. Add a parent tray. This is so important. I never put drinks in, just want to throw my keys in there while I get the kids out of the car.
6. Change the fabric and add some cushion. The seat is hard as a rock and the fabric is what they make duffle bags out of. Not luxurious at all.
7. The Child tray needs to be easily removable on one side so we can get the kid in. I have to maneuver my 1 year olds legs into the stroller and he usuallly gets caught on the way out.
For this kind of money, these improvements should be a no- brainer!!!
 If your older child is less than 35#, buy the Sit-n-Stand July 10, 2008
I'm moderately happy with our Joovy Caboose but there are several items that might not be clear to people trying to choose between a Sit-n-Stand and a Caboose (and I tried both in the store before buying!). First I'll point out that because my husband believes in weight limits (I think everything is engineered to 1.5 times what they print in the handbook) we had to buy the Caboose because our 4.5 year old is 40 pounds and the Sit-n-Stand only carries a second kid up to 35 pounds.
First, neither the Sit-n-Stand or the Caboose have a lot of room for the older kid, having tried both in the store the Sit-n-Stand has more, but because of a weird carseat configuration the Caboose even less room than it appears when you try it in the store. For reasons I cannot understand if you use an infant carseat (which you will have to for several months since front seat doesn't recline very much) the front seat has to be in its reclined position which further encroaches into the 2nd child's space. We've resorted to ignoring the directions, which seems to work fine. I agree with other reviews that for the older kid sitting isn't a comfortable ride (nothing to lean against, no way to nap) but in fact our 4.5 year old is very happy with just being on the stroller talking to me, so that's worked out OK.
Second it is irritating not to be able to carry coffee or a beer on a walk , and the 35$ accessory holds only water bottles. We've done OK with a 7$ add-on cup holder.
Finally, the Caboose is heavy, and it really fills the trunk of the car. I suspect the same is true of the Sit-n-Stand (although it doesn't have that weird extension for the carseat). Since we use it from home for exercise and don't travel with it, that's OK.
Good news -- the wheels can handle some off-road stuff -- hard packed dirt and gravel, and the dual configuration does bring us together as a family -- we don't have to carry the four year old.
Great stroller for baby and toddler June 30, 2008
I love this stroller. It's fairly easy to assemble. Very easy to fold and great for travel, especially in airports. It's a real bonus to have the carrier option and then the transition for baby into the front seat without the carrier.
The only negative issue I have with it is that the front seat does not recline for a nap. If it offered this feature, I would say it would be perfect for carting around 2 little kids.
Great Stroller. I recommend it for most! June 28, 2008
First off, hats off to the woman who must have written the instructions to put this stroller together. She thought of everything. I had no problems finding all parts and it was so clear that it was the least stressful event of my day. It even included extra parts. They must have known that if you have 2 kids (it is a stroller for 2) you might just lose a few things now and then. I also love the material the stoller is made of. It feels very durable. The materials it is made of are very strong. I wouldn't have picked orange as my first choice of color, but it was cheaper and times are tough. The restraints are simple enough, not high tech for those of you who want it to be done "for you". I do love this stroller. I would like to have had a parent drink holder and more storage for when I go shopping, but you cant have everything. If that is your priority, then you will not be happy with this product. If you are looking for a way to get an infant and a toddler around without a cumbersome double stroller, then do yourself a favor and invest in a joovy!
 Great Stroller!! June 22, 2008
This is a fantastic stroller - I have a 20 month old and a 4.5 year old and we were going on a trip and I was really wanting something for both of them. My sister recommended this stroller and it is perfect for us. My 4 year old loves that he can get in and out on his own and also that he can rest and not have to ask to be picked up when we have lots of walking to do. The front seat for my 20 month old is very comfortable, he doesn't complain and seems very content. The seat can recline a bit, but it was enough for him to nap while we were at the museum. The stroller was easy to travel with and very comfortable for the boys. I would recommend it and also recommend you buy the Parent Organizer because there really is no where to put your stuff for easy access. The only thing I'm not too happy with is how hard it is to take of that snack tray from the front seat. It's a bit hard and you need both hands and usually I only have one hand available. I wish it was easier to snap on and off. Otherwise, I'm very happy we purchased this stroller, I just wish I would have gotten it a while ago!!
