Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The new Ultralight Caboose is the lightest, most maneuverable tandem stroller available on the market today. At 21 pounds the Caboose Ultralight is 20% lighter than the original Caboose and far lighter than most double strollers. When we say maneuverable, we mean it. The Caboose Ultralight can navigate narrow spaces with ease. And thanks to its minimal weight, you can steer with just one hand. The large, comfortable front seat now includes three reclining positions for the front riding passenger. When the front seat reclines to its lowest position, your older child can still stand on the rear platform. The patented Stand-On Tandem design gives your older child the freedom to choose between walking, standing and sitting. Parents tell us this single feature alone has given their child a head start at developing a healthy independence, a win-win for both parents and kids alike. Parents of an infant or newborn will love that each Ultralight Caboose is outfitted with a Universal Car Seat Adapter that snaps easily into the tray housings. The new Ultralight Caboose has linked rear brakes adding extra security when the stroller is parked. The new 4-wheel suspension will make for the smoothest ride for your back seat passenger. A new and improved larger storage basket will hold plenty of gear for your outings. Joovy's signature oversized canopy has been designed with a sun visor extension that provides shade for both children and protection from the elements. The Joovy Parent Organizer is included with every Ultralight Caboose. After your outing, the Caboose Ultralight folds super compactly for storage. In fact, it can be placed in the trunk of most compact cars. And at 21 pounds, lifting the Ultralight in and out of your car is simple and easy.

The best, lightest, most maneuverable Caboose yet! 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.) 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. And, the deluxe sun canopy offers more protection for your children on sunny days out.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for 3 and 5 year old at Disneyland December 8, 2011

I bought this stroller so that I could take my 3 and 5 year old to Disneyland on my own, and it met my expectations. For the first time ever, I was able to take my 2 kids to Disneyland without extra help. The front seat was comfortable enough for my 3 y/o to sit in it throughout the entire day without fussing. The front seat is a standard stroller seat. The front seat reclines, but it does encroach on the space in the back seat a bit. My 5 y/o liked the back seat because she could choose to stand up to see what was ahead, or sit when tired. The back seat is probably only going to work for kids 5+ because it is basically a bench. Both my kids were able to climb into their seats without any adult help (great!). The tandem front/back seat design allows the width to be roughly the same as a single seat Maclaren. At crowded places like Disneyland, this is a big advantage over the side by side strollers. The length of this stroller was manageable, it's about 2x the length of a single seat Maclaren, but it still handles pretty well. There is a very generous storage bin underneath the stroller and I was able to fit 3 full size jackets, water bottles, and a bunch of other garbage in it. Folding down the stroller was pretty easy after a couple of times practicing. The only drawback is the weight. This stroller is about as heavy as those infant car seat/stroller combo strollers, so don't expect to be able to sling this thing over your shoulder. You will need both of your hands to move this thing folded up. I feel that the tandem front/back design, width, and overall design more than compensates for the weight issue. It's a great theme park stroller.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not the best option for 2 different aged children November 1, 2012

We bought this stroller as a 2nd stroller to keep in the car. We live in a city and have a primary stroller for every day use so this stroller did not meet our needs for several reasons. We have a 2 1/2 yr old & a 2 month old.
*When using the extender for the infant car seat it is actually over 50" folded despite what the dimensions read on the description and it didn't fit in our trunk.
*When using it with a car seat in the front you have to recline the front seat & it makes it very uncomfortable for your toddler to sit on back seat (you can see this in the pics). So it is not the best option when using it for a toddler & an infant.
*You also have to put the car seat in the front & I would prefer to have my infant closer to me than in the front of the stroller so after much comparing of these type of strollers we found that the BabyTrend Sit N Stand Ultra is actually a better choice cause it gives you this option. Its much more versatile.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wish I'd tried it sooner - Perfect for infant and toddler August 9, 2011

I have been searching for the perfect stroller for a year now! My kids are now 3.5 and 18 months. My 3.5 year old still usually wants to ride. My 18 month old doesn't want to ride, but I make him so he doesn't wander away.

I started with the Combi Twin Sport. If I was only pushing one kid it pushed horribly! Plus the wheels were too small to go over sidewalk cracks.

I tried a Sit n' Stand. It didn't work with my chicco carseat and I felt like I was pushing around a bus.

I got a Phil & Teds Sport. I LOVEd this when my youngest was a baby. But now that he is bigger he doesn't want to ride in that lower seat and I don't blame him! Plus it is very hard to get him in and out.

I got a Kelty Deuce Jogging Stroller. It is nice for jogging, but it doesn't fit through doorways so you can't use it for anything else.

I WISH I had just purchased this Joovy from the beginning. Here is what I like:
Both kids can easily ride. Or just one can ride and it doesn't make it feel off balance like a side by side.
My older child can easily hop in and out.
The seat almost fully reclines. It is easy to recline it too.
It holds a car seat.
It is very easy to fold
It isn't much bigger than a single stroller
It is fairly lightweight.
Both kids can be covered by sunshade.

What I don't like:
Compared to the Phil and Teds it isn't that easy to push, but it does alright.
It is hard to get into that lower basket.

I think the solution for me is going to be to keep this one in the trunk for trips to the store and the mall and whatnot. I also want to buy a BOB for walks and runs. Yikes, that is a lot of money! But I do highly reccomend this stroller if you have a toddler and a baby or an older toddler and a younger toddler!
