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 ultra-light, however, is designed for streamlined ease. Weighing in at just 21 pounds and sporting a neat, compact profile, the Joovy Caboose ultra-light Stand-on Tandem Stroller is a breeze to get around. It measures 41.5 x 21.5 x 38 inches (HxWxD). Sealed ball-bearing wheels contribute to a smoother ride as well, and a foam-padded handle offers additional comfort. A roomy under-seat basket provides room for your traveling essentials, and the nifty neoprene "Cool Essentials Parent Organizer," which includes a cup holder, keeps keys, your cell phone, and a drink close at hand. A Fun, Comfortable Ride
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 wide 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 ultra-light 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: |

Product Description
The Caboose Ultralight is so compact, maneuverable and lightweight you might forget that it?s a tandem stroller. At a mere 21 pounds the Caboose Ultralight is 20% lighter weight than the original model and far lighter than most double strollers. The Ultralight is also ultra-maneuverable because it has sealed ball bearing wheels. (If that doesn?t mean anything to you; it is faster and smoother. Think rollerblades and skateboards). The front seat is a 2-position seat, it can be straight-up or it reclines at a 45 degree angle. Moms and Dads will really love the neoprene Cool Essentials Parent Organizer too. It has plenty of room to store your keys, cell phone, etc and the cup holder will help keep your drinks cool. The deluxe sun canopy will offer more protection for your children on sunny days out. This special edition includes a reversible All-Season Pad (moisture wicking nylon fabric for warm weather, warm fleece for cool weather). The seat pad is machine washable. Camo, Sunset Orange or Black. .

 Great choice for a toddler September 7, 2008
We just bought this after researching many other options for our son who is almost 3 and the new baby we're about to have. I have test driven my son in it several times and he loves the step and even buckles himself in! He seems to know that spot is for him and that the other part is for the "new baby". I do agree with other reviewers that the storage underneath could be a bit larger and that my son will have to lean forward a bit in the seat, but I don't see either of these to be big problems for us. We're pleased with our purchase!
Wow, what a stroller!! August 29, 2008
I have a 3 1/2 year old and I'm expecting a new baby, so I decided to get a sit-n-stand stroller. A friend of mine has one, but it's ridiculously hard to push and turn. I decided that one of my big must-have's for this stroller would be ease of turning and this stroller seems to do the job. My second child hasn't been born yet, but I tried pushing this stroller around my carpeted living room with my toddler both in back and up front and it is still incredibly easy to turn and push, even on the carpet, so I have high hopes for when I have both kids on it.
With my toddler sitting on the back, the basket is hard to get to, but it's not like I wouldn't stop to take anything out of the basket anyway, so it's simple to ask my toddler to get up so I can access the basket. The seat for the toddler has about 8 inches or so to slide back and forth and if you slide the seat forward the basket is easily accessible. Additionally, you can slide the seat forward while the baby is reclines and it allows the toddler to sit without being hunched forward, though his footstep is then directly underneath him (not a problem unless your child is trying to get on/off the stroller while it is in motion).
There are various positions for the baby to be in with the front seat being either upright or reclines and the footrest being either down or pointed out front (elevated). The sun canopy can be moved to numerous positions to cover both baby and toddler when the sun is overhead, or you can move it to the front or back to completely cover the baby (if sleeping) or even the toddler.
The food tray for the front seat has 2 cupholders, which is nice since you can have a drink for the baby within easy reach and a drink for the toddler that they can grab on the go while they're running around. Additionally, mine came with a "parent organizer" which is a stretchy neoprene cloth that stretches over the handlebar. It includes two slots for drinks and a longer pocket (around 10" long) to put various items in and the other side (facing the toddler) has a smallish zippered pocket and a super long pocket (probably about 18") to put various items in. There's plenty of room there for snacks, drinks, toys, wallet, keys, iPod, etc. all within 2 inches of where your hands are when you're pushing the stroller.
Everything is super easy to assemble and take apart. It is super stylish and I can't even fathom anything that I would want in a sit-n-stand stroller that this stroller doesn't have, not to mention several things they DO have that I never would have thought of. They have truly made a lightweight, durable product with everything a parent could ask for! I was a little nervous paying $250 for this, but now that I have it I consider it a bargain! Buy this stroller, you won't regret it!!
Best Sit 'n Stand August 28, 2008
I spent a lot of time researching the different sit and stand strollers, we have a boy on the way and a 3 year old girl... I knew right away when we found out we were expecting that our daughter (even though she says she likes the idea of a brother) we knew that she would have a hard time not being involved or not being able to use all of 'his' things... so even though she hasn't used in a stroller in over a year she would immediatley want to use one when she saw him using one. This is the perfect solution. The stroller is very lightweight, yet very sturdy and easy to maneuver with one hand. We had an expensive travel system with our first and it did not handle or feel as secure as this one. It fits our Chicco KeyFit 30 infant car seat perfectly and does not feel top heavy. I can't wait for our lil guy so that I can use this stroller!
Great stroller!! August 27, 2008
We really love our Joovy Caboose Ultralight stroller! We have used it with our toddler (now preschooler) and our baby for almost 10 months now, and we couldn't have gotten around without it. It is smaller and much lighter weight than other double strollers, but it feels sturdy. It maneuvers easily, especially for a double stroller. Both kids look comfortable riding in it. The back-to-back positioning for the kids is good, because they don't grab each others' things. Everytime I go out with this stroller, I have people telling me what a well-designed stroller it is and asking me where I got it.
Great Choice for Newborn and 3 Year Old! August 25, 2008
I have a newborn and 3 1/2 year old. Little did I know I would need a stroller to accomodate both girls. Not only is the Joovy ultralight lighter (good for me, I am a weakling)than other strollers that have a sit/stand feature for the older child, the color choices are awesome! The red stroller I purchased came with the cool essentials parent organizer and a reversible seat cover for the front. I use the organizer to hold my wallet, keys, cell phone, water for me and my 3 year old and small bag of snacks. I have not used the seat cover since the baby will be in the carrier until she is 6 months. I have been using the stroller for a month and my 3 year old loves it. She always asks if we can use the new stroller. She is small for her age, so even with the front seat reclined as far back as it goes (there are only 2 settings,no full recline, for the front seat) to accomodate the baby carrier, Isabella has enough seat room but a larger child may have to sit more forward and not have enough sitting space or lean forward which would be uncomfortable after a time. She also enjoys the option of sitting or standing and the padded handles are comfortable for her to hold onto in either position. Be sure to read the instructions if you are concerned about the rear seat sliding. There are snaps to hold it securely in place. One of the most beneficial features of this stroller is the extra large canopy. Both girls can be completely protected from the hot Texas sun. The stroller is easy to maneuver, fits down all kinds of store aisles and tight places and handles asphalt and concrete smoothly. If you have trouble turning be sure your front wheels are not locked so they will swivel freely. I have not used it "off road" like at a fair, trade show or other indoor/outdoor event so I am not sure how it wheels on dirt/grass. I hope to try it out at Canton Trade Days soon. My husband has pushed the stroller a couple of times and he agrees that it maneuvers better than he originally thought it would due to the weight of both girls. As far as the storage underneath, it is small but functions fine with a small diaper bag or your older child's belongings. You can access it from the back of the stroller when the older child is out of the way, have the older child pull out your stuff or pull out the stretchy sides to retrieve contents. I happen to have a good-sized diaper bag that I use for long day trips that can be snapped onto the stroller handle. I have also placed a bag under the baby carrier in the front seat with the foot rest locked in the upright position to keep the bag from accidently falling out when I run out of room underneath or in the parent organizer. Obviously this will not work when the baby is no longer in the carrier, but for now it's another storage place. The stroller fits fine in the back of our RAV-4 (the 2004 smaller RAV)and as long as I remove the canopy and carrier attachment I can stand the stroller upright (be sure rear wheels are locked) and hold it in place with a strap I have or lay it down and still fit small additional items. This means a little more time getting the stroller in and out of the vehicle, but it is worth it. Great looking stroller, easy for me to use, easy to put together (I had to put the wheels on) and fun for my older child!
