Joovy Caboose Ultralight Stroller Review
The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Stroller is a hit with expert and user reviewers for its up-market good looks, multiple seating options, and good maneuverability. Joovy Caboose Ultralight Stroller reviews by Parents Magazine name this model one of its 11 Ultimate Strollers. It's also the only sit-and-stand stroller to make Buzzle's list of best tandem strollers.
The Joovy Caboose is optimal for parents with both a baby and an older child. The stroller's universal car seat adapter lets you attach most popular infant seats to the front seat. There is no traditional rear seat, but a jump seat and standing platform give big kids two ways to ride. This model also features a parent organizer and child tray, a storage basket with elastic sides, and a sun visor extension on the canopy.
While the Joovy Caboose wins accolades for quality construction and versatility, two common complaints continually pop up. The jump seat is designed to slide back and forth, and attaching an infant seat leaves jump seat riders with little to no room. Overall, this sit-and-stand stroller is worthy of consideration, but it may not suit toddlers who still like to recline.
