Our Review of the Joovy Caboose stroller

Built on a stable but minimal aluminum frame, the Caboose Stroller from Joovy has all the conveniences of an easy folding single stroller, with an added bonus on the back that sets the Caboose apart from the pack. The Joovy Caboose has a special platform behind the front seat that allows older kids to stand on the rear of the stroller while their younger sibling sits comfortably in the car seat compatible* harness seat up front.

The result is a top quality "Stand-On Tandem" that has the size, weight, and compact fold of most other single strollers. If you have two children and may be expecting at third; or if you have one and are expecting two more, then you may want to read our review of the Joovy Big Caboose. The Big Caboose offers all the benefits of the Joovy Caboose stroller with one additional harness seat - making it a Triple Tandem Stroller.

A lot of thought and consideration went into the design of the standing platform at the back of the Joovy Caboose. It allows the toddler to stand and lean back against the handles, hold on to another set while they face forward, or to sit down in a rear facing padded seat when they get tired.

  • The rear facing extra seat of both the Joovy Caboose and Big Caboose is equipped with a 3-point safety harness.

The only problem you may have to face, and this comes with the territory of parenting, is keeping your toddler from leaping off the platform while you push. Joovy designed a strap for the rear passenger that will support them while they stand, preventing them from making a break for it.

Bottom Line: The Joovy Caboose is truly unique amongst the single strollers on the market today, and offers long-term usability that few other strollers can match. By disguising its tandem double stroller capabilities with a single stroller's appearance, this light weight, easy to steer, easy to fold "Stand-On Tandem" is getting good reviews from customers and the staff of EliteCarSeats alike.

There are a few missing amenities (like a cupholder or parent console) but there's little else to point out that's a negative. The huge range of car seats* that can be used with the Joovy Caboose stroller give it long term usability (and trade or resale value) that you just can't match. You can start using your Joovy the moment you return from the maternity ward, on through the development of your first child, and keep on rolling after you've had your second and the older child is ready to stand on the platform or sit in the rear seat. It is truly a great design.

Great without a Baby Carrier

2
Reviewer: Missy , Mt Airy, MD Date: April 02, 2007
This stroller looked great in the store. It rolled well & I loved the colors. The problem is the bigger child can't sit if you have a baby carrier in the front. There is no room for the seat only the standing board. (And barely room for that!) The bottom basket is also very small.

Must Have!!!

Reviewer: Anonymous , Burbank, CA Date: March 25, 2007
I have a 4 year old (under 40lbs-she's petite) and a 1 year old and this is the stroller that beats them all hands down! We had the standard Graco double and we hardly ever took it out on excursions because it was so cumbersome it wasn't worth the hassle. This stroller however has been a fantastic solution, it is lightweight, smart-looking and oh so easy to manuever, not to mention it folds up in a snap. My oldest loves the freedom to sit, stand or walk and my youngest loves having a front row seat! I recommend this stroller to anyone in need of a double, it is truly great! Make sure to get the available cup holder accessory it makes the difference!

Reviewer: Anonymous , Vancouver, BC Date: January 10, 2007
I'm currently expecting my 3rd and my 2 other boys are 2 and 4. My boys love riding in this stroller and I love that it is still manageable to fold up and down and get in and out of the car even though I'm 7 months pregnant. I look forward to being able to use this for the new baby with the car carrier attachment and our toddler (not sure that my oldest is going to like the idea of having to walk) and am confident that it will stand the test of time.

We had a Graco duo glider (which we bought used) and promptly managed to break the frame and wheels as my boys are quite big for their age. We found the Graco stroller to be VERY heavy and cumbersome and basically was the only thing that fit into the trunk of our Honda Civic. The Joovy is very compact and easy to push around the mall and even on rough surfaces when we head to the park.

This was a great find for my family!!!

Smallest Tandem Ever!

5
Reviewer: H. Hayes , Boston, Ma Date: July 17, 2006
This stroller is a life saver. It is like pushing a single stroller. It is so easy to steer. The rear seat and stand platform make my four year old feel so independant, he loves it. Every where I go people ask me where I got it. Try this stroller you will love it.

I love this Stroller

Reviewer: B. Shaw , Las Vegas, NV Date: July 08, 2006
We have had this stroller for four months now. It is the best double stroller on the market. The quality is great, Joovy customer service is great too. We lost our front tray and Joovy sent us another one for free right away. My daughter loves riding in the back whether she is standing or sitting. and our younger daughter just starting sitting in the seat. We used a Graco Safe Seat with her until last week. I really love the handle height, compact fold, deluxe harnesses, great canopy and wonderful steering with both kids on board. I would highly recommend this stroller.

Love Hate Relationship

4
Reviewer: Anonymous , Las Vegas, NV Date: June 23, 2006
I have a love hate relationship with my Joovy Caboose. I love that it is short in profile (allowing me to open door and go through by myself), I love that my 3 1/2 year old enjoys sitting and standing on it, I love that my 3 1/2 year old can get on and off easily, and I love that it is made of strong metal (my plastic Graco duoglider broke). I hate that it doesn't have a cup holder, I hate that it has a very small basket that is hard to get to (I can't imaging trying to carry bottles, etc), but mostly I hate the way my 18 month old fits in it. Now my 18 month old daughter is a big girl. She weighs 30 lbs. The bottom seat is much too short, and the foot rest is much to shallow. My daughter's feet always hang over the edge and sometimes get caught in the wheels. I also dislike the straps. If I loosen them my daughter rear end slides forward and makes her really uncomfortable. If I tighten them, then they cut her across the middle.

All being said, I still use this stroller. I get asked about my passers by at leat once a week. I am honest. I don't know whether I recommend it or not. I guess it jsut depends on what you want.

love the idea. . .

Reviewer: Anonymous , birmingham, MI Date: May 06, 2006
When we found out we were having baby #2, the hunt for the perfect double stroller began. The idea of being able to use this with an infant carrier is great. And I thought that my 2 year old would love to stand and ride on the back. He does like to stand, but, he LOVES to jump off. This makes for a long ride. If I buckle him into the seat, he doesn't mind, he just drags his feet on the wheels bringing me to a dead halt! Plus, the frame of the stroller is steel which makes it really heavy to push. Until I can reason with my son a little better, I am through using this stroller.

You did get the stroller to me in just 2 days! Thanks for that!

2nd Child, Missing your Universal Car Seat Carrier?

4
Reviewer: Anonymous , Ohio Date: April 07, 2006
When we had our second child, we were bummed that the Universal Car Seat Carrier would no longer be of use, as both children needed to be strollered. This is a great compromise. We can put the infant car seat in front, and Our 2 year old can stand or sit in the back (which he thinks is way cool!). It folds up compactly enough to fit in our Honda Passport - its a bit longer with the Infant Car Seat adapter installed - but it is easy enough to remove if you have a smaller car. It is also a bit heavy - but not unmanageable. Highly recommended. This site has great service too! We ordered it and had it to our house in 2 days!
