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: |

 Great alternative to a double stroller... November 9, 2005

We have a 3 year old and a 4 month old and this stroller suits us well. My daughter is very tall for 3 and her feet drag on the ground in most strollers so this is perfect for her. I like that I can buckle her in when I need to and she likes the option to stand giving her a little more freedom than in the past. After pushing around a Graco Duo-Glider that I borrowed from our sister in-law this thing seems so light! Other tandems are very long making them hard to steer, this one has a shorter footprint so it is a lot easier to manuever. My son is large too and outgrew his infant carseat very early so the front seat does need to be reclined for him due to his age. This does not give my daughter a ton of room when she is sitting but he'll be able to sit in the upright position soon enough. I think it is great for getting the older child from the car to the store w/o having to worry about traffic in busy parking lots. It's a lot more convenient than bring a HUGE double stroller everywhere for a 3 year old who might want to ride and might not. It should be useful for a lot longer than a traditional double stroller for anyone with kids spaced a couple of years apart.

I had a similiar stroller "sit n stand" for my oldest two children which were 3 yrs apart and absolutely loved it even though it was more costly than this one and much heavier. Ten years later I have a 2 year old and expecting this spring. I have spent many hours online and in stores searching for a decent double stroller that is not heavy, hard to steer or bulky when folded to no avail. Then I found this! Even though I don't have the baby yet.....it folds up smaller than my single stoller and steers much smoother so I am extemely happy using it with only one child. With the holiday shopping I use the back section to carry packages and my toddler is content in the front, or if he gets bored I swap out positions with the packages. I know without a doubt I will love it even more when the baby comes.
The only "problem" if you can even call it that is there is no cup holder or tray for parent. I never have used the tray on my old travel system and a cheap $5 attached cup holder did the job for me!

Yesterday I logged on the to the Babies R Us site to write a five star review for the Caboose Stroller. We absolutly love this stroller. I was shocked to see the recent one star reveiews that have been posted in the last few weeks. So I took the reviewers advice and visited the local Target. Here is what I found:
1. From Handle to tray front the Caboose is 11 inches shorter. The shorter wheelbase makes for much easier steering.
2. The Caboose has a higher handle height for the parent. It also has the same deluxe foam handles that the $800 Bugaboo has. The child handles have the same deluxe foam. The infant carseat attachment is even covered in the deluxe foam.
3. One reviewer mentioned that the Caboose is square tubing and not all accessories fit, but square tubing is far stronger than round or oval tubing. It also looks cool. The frame is very rigid and strong.
4. When folded the Caboose is half as tall 12 inches, the other one is 24 inches. The caboose tray and canopy nest perfectly when folded. The Baby Trend is 28 inches tall when folded if the canopy is left on. The Baby Trend tray also slams into the floor when the stroller is folded. The Caboose has a metal folding lock, the Baby Trend has a plastic one.
5. The Caboose canopy is much bigger and has canopy locks on each side.
6. The harness buckles on the Caboose are deluxe with light reflective straps. This is a good comparison of the quality of the strollers. The Caboose has a light reflective harness that has at least 3X more light reflective materail. The Baby Trend harnesses are very difficult to operate and can pinch. Research other Baby Trend product reviews and you will see this problem is already documented. The five point harness on the Caboose has two shoulder height positions. One of the positions is completely above the seat back height of the Baby Trend stroller. That is the reason that it appears that there is more room on the Baby Trend rear seat. The Baby Trend front seat back is so low there is no head support for the front child.
7. I checked the warranties on both products. The Caboose has a lifetime and the Baby Trend 180 days.
8. The parent tray on the Baby Trend I looked at was already broken. The push button on the side of the tray that releases it to rotate had fallen out and the tray could not be locked in place.
9. The Caboose infant car seat attachment is compatable with many more car seats. It will take the Chicco, Britax, Compass, Graco, Evenflo and Peg seats. The Baby Trend will not accept many of the new carseats on the market.
10. The fabric on the Caboose is rip-stop 600D nylon. This is the same fabric back packs and luggage use for it's durability. The Baby Trend is a light weight poly/cotton.
If you really look close there is really no comparison of the quality of these two products. The Caboose is a better engineered product and each important component is better quality than the Baby Trend. As I walked out of the Target with my Caboose the lady working in the juvenile department asked me where I got my cool stroller.
 Problems and Hassles - Baby Trend is a much wiser investment! January 22, 2006

I read several reviews on here about this stroller before deciding to purchase it. I'm only going to list the negative things about it because they far outweigh the positives.
1. The footrest is a safety hazard. It is not secure because it can be folded up. The problem I had was that my daughter, who is 2, was kicking her feet against the footrest and must have gotten her foot behind it. When I went to turn the stroller her foot was caught between the wheel and the footrest and she started screaming in pain. I had to sit and rub it for a long time before she calmed down enough to start moving again.
2. There are no accessories other than the tray on the front, which wouldn't be an issue because there are accessory kits available, such as cup holders and snack cups for the child in the back. The problem with the kits is that the stroller frame is square, and the clips for the cup holder and snack cups are round. Doesn't work too well.
3. You need to use both hands to close the stroller, which is annoying because you have to pull and bend.
4. The handles to be used when the child in back is standing are not in a very convenient place for him/her to hold on because they are not in front of where he/she needs to stand, they are to the side and behind.
5. The snack tray in the front is not easily removable, so you have to put the seat back and lift the child over the tray to put him/her in the seat.
6. When the stroller is folded the rear wheels cannot be unlocked, so it must be carried rather than rolled (and it is heavy and long).
7. There is not much room for the child in back to sit comfortably because the seat moves forward and back and the front seat is back too far.
I was actually pushing the stroller through Target and saw a Baby Trend Sit N Stand stroller for $119.99. Apparently Baby Trend had complaints about their sit n stand and improved it. It has a tray with two cup holders and a compartment for change for the parent along with a tray for the front child that is easy to remove. It has a footrest that goes all the way across and locks into place like a safe one should. It weighs about half as much. It can be rolled when folded. There is also alot more room for the child in the back to sit down comfortably. It does have a seatbelt for the child in back. It has a one hand folding mechanism. The basket is easier to access and the child in the back is more secure when standing.
I called the COnsumer Product Safety Commission about the footrest safety issue because I think it is a hazard people should be aware of. I would not recommend this stroller!

After searching for several months and testing other tandum strollers, we've found a winner.
My daughter is almost 3 and likes to be able to get out and walk around, but also gets tired and needs to sit in the stroller. The bench seat in the back is perfect & the option for her to stand is even better. She loves it!
My son is still in his infant car seat and it fits wonderfully on the front with the carseat bar attachment and strap.
The option of taking the bar off as he gets older means this will last us a long time!
It's very easy to manuever and the higher handle is great for my husband and I b/c we're both tall. And it takes up so much less space than a side-by-side stroller.
Although it is heavy (24 pounds), it's VERY sturdy.
So glad we found this one!
