My children are 2 1/2 years apart, so we assumed that our older daughter would walk once our younger one was born, and the baby would ride in our stroller. After an entire summer of carrying the baby and letting my oldest sit in the stroller when she tired of walking, I decided to give my back a break this year and invest in a double stroller. With my now four-year-old, a side-by-side wasn't a good option, because she's big and also likes to hop in and out often. We bought the Sit-N-Stand because they sold it locally at Target, but I had to return it because it was like pushing a train. I'm not a big person, and a 30 pound, long, clunky stroller plus sixty pounds of kids was just too much for me. I returned it. I had tried a friend's Joovy, but now I knew that lighter weight and easier steering were critical when you're pushing two kids. The Caboose Ultralight fits the bill. It turns easily and tightly, and the distance between the front and back wheels is shorter than on the Sit-N-Stand, so it doesn't feel like a train. It's also ten pounds lighter (whew!). Both my kids like it just fine, and the sun canopy actually covers them both (others didn't).
If you're looking for a tandem but worried about paying the extra hundred bucks over the Sit-N-Stand (or even the extra $70 over the regular Joovy), I would say it's worth it. Sure, it looks similar to the other two, but it is just so much easier to use. Plus--let's face it--the design and color are just so much cooler than the Sit-N-Stand. Go for it. I was glad I did.
This is a hit for us!

I needed a stroller for my 2 1/2 year old and 10 month old. I was using my Peg P3 with the baby while my oldest walked, but this only really worked when doing a short errand or when my husband came along and carried him when he got tired. It was time for a double stroller! This stroller was easy to assemble. I was pleased with the orange color. The real test was whether my son would sit or stand on the back. The minute I pulled it out, he sat on it and I couldn't get him off. He rode on it inside the house for a long while. He was wary about standing on it, but I'm sure that in time he'll be more comfortable. I've used it twice so far at malls and he's stayed on it, which is great. My 10 month old has no complaints either. She seems very content. The stroller is definately easy to push, easy to open and close. It fits in the trunk of my small 4 door sedan (although it uses up almost all of the room). The parent organizer is awesome. I was even able to put a Starbucks frappuccino grande in the cup holder! The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 was because I think they should have designed the front seat to recline further down (maybe 3 options instead of 2) so that the baby could sleep more comfortably. Yes, it might be a problem for the 2nd child to sit, but they could stand or just walk along side the stroller. Also, there might be times that us parents might only have the younger child with us. Otherwise, this is a great stroller for those parents looking for an alternative to the side by side or long tandems.
A good option for big kids who still need a ride

I loved my double jogger, but at some point (around 4.5 years/1.5) the seat just wasn't big enough for my oldest, and her elbow was in her baby brother's face. So, we moved on and got the Joovy Caboose Ultralight. My kids are now 5.5 and nearly 3 and they both ride comfortably in the Joovy Caboose. In fact, my youngest won't ride in his umbrella stroller even when big sister is at school--he wants to ride in the Joovy Caboose. The minuses are the tray that is hard to attach and detach, being harder to push than a double jogger, and not turning on a dime. Unfortunately, double strollers are always a compromise, especially with bigger kids. The pluses are a super canopy, great parent caddy with drink holder and zipper pouch, compact size, good fold, and great stability. It requires both hands to push on bumpy surfaces, but is unbeatable for airport travel with two kids, since you can put luggage or a carseat on the rear seat, and make your big kid walk. It is generally very good for indoor use.

We did some serious research before picking up this stroller for our 3 1/2 year old son and new born daughter. All of the reviews made it seem like the perfect fit for what we were looking for. We selected the product because of the light weight of the product and the reviews but once we recieved the product at home and tried it out it was clear that it would not work for us and we ultimately returned it before ever taking it out of the house. Here was the problem for us. Once the baby car seat is installed there is not enough room for our 3 1/2 year old to sit comfortably on the step. He litterally had to lean forward because the front seat has to be fully reclined to support the car seat. The benh seat does shift backwards but the foot rest for the back seat does not so his feet were behind him. "Mommy I am not comfortable" came out in the first 30 seconds of sitting on the stroller. This was a huge disappointment to us. The Product was beautifully constructed, was very light, has a sharp modern look to it, rides well, and folds easily but if you are in a situation to have to use the car seat with a toddler that wants to sit down I do not recommend it. Hope this helps
Money well spent

I struggled between purchsing this and the Sit n Stand LX and poured over the reviews before buying the Joovy ultralight. I feel that I have made a wise purchase. The Joovy Ultralight is a dream to push and maneuver around busy and tight places with my 14 month old and 3 year old. I love the sun canopy for both my children as well. Both my children are very tall (99th percentile for height) and the sun canopy does shade them both without my 3 year old son having to duck underneath. This is a big deal for me given my desire to minimize sun damage to my children. There are, however, two things that concern me about this stroller 1) the front seat is pretty low so my daughter's legs already go past the foot rest. I wish Joovy would raise the seat up more to allow for more distance. 2) The basket is useless. I don't know about you, but with two kids I always carry diapers, toys, wipes, snacks and a change of clothes. Unless you just place these items loose in the basket, there is no bag in the world that will fit in there and forget about bringing your purse. If Joovy put on larger wheels and raised the seats higher, I bet they could make a deeper and more functional basket. Why they didn't think of this is beyond me. Despite this, I really love how lightweight and how easy it is to push this stroller. I did borrow my neighbor's Sit n Stand and gave it a whirl around the neighborhood and the local mall. I was disappointed how hard it was to push my kids around. The Sit n Stand was long and heavy and just a bear to maneuver around places. If you have used the Graco Duoglider, the Sit n Stand is comparable in length and weight which I wanted to get away from. Although there is no perfect stroller out there, I am pretty pleased with this one.

We absolutely love this stroller with only one exception.... it desperately needs more storage. Our prior one-child stroller had nearly twice the underneath storage area.
The construction seems solid and our 3 year old loves riding in the back while her sister's car seat/carrier fits perfectly in the front.

In order to truly appreciate this stroller I had to own 3 previous double stroller duds. As a self-confirmed cheapskate I cannot stress enough that the Joovy Caboose is worth every penny. Simple to put together, manuevers easily,the canopy on both sides provide the best protection from the sun I've seen, very light and simple to collapse and open. Other double strollers were so frustrating I was debating which child to get rid of. Now when I run over a foot or ram someone with my double stroller it is not on accident.:)Thank You Joovy!
I am in Love!!!!

This stroller is exactly what I was looking for!!! I have a 4 month old and a busy boy who will be 4 at the end of this month. I had a double Combi stroller and my Son's legs would drag on the wheels making it impossible for me to push the stroller. The Joovy Caboose Ultralight is so easy to stear and to fold up. My Son loves riding on the back like a big boy, but I can still buckle him in when I need to. I put my Combi infant carrier in the front seat with the car seat attachment and my Son is very comfortable in the back. I am a small person 5'3" 100 pounds and this is very easy for me to put in the back of my Audi Q7. I have to lift it up quite a ways and it isn't too heavy. Also I want to mention when you have the car seat in the front you don't have to recline the front seat all the way so your big kid can still sit if they want to. That was a question I had that I couldn't find anywhere on line. This stroller is very well made and we could not be happier with it!

I must have the exceptional children. This is a great stroller but my youngest is 20 months and the front seat is too shallow for him, he's a tall guy. His legs dangel out almost touching the ground. The foot shelf is too narrow for him to use. My older son is almost 5 and he loves to sit or stand, but sitting his head touches the canopy, so he has to duck down. When they are both in it, it does strain to one side, especially if the sidewalk is a little slanted, as most are.
br /I use it every day for the school run. It is perfect for that but I don't use it any longer than that.

I researched tons of strollers and finally decided on this one. None of them are perfect but this one seemed to fit my needs the best. (I have a 3 month old and a 26 month old)

br /Pros:
br /- Very light
br /- turns very well
br /- fairly easy to fold
br /- kids seem to like it
br /
br /Cons:
br /- If you are using the infant attachment you have to take it off every time you put it in your trunk. (I have a mid-sized sedan) It doesn't bother me that much but drives my husband crazy.
br /- It doesn't stand up on its own when its folded. We have to make sure that the wheels are locked and then prop it up against something. It's a bit more annoying then I thought it would be.

br /Overall, I am happy with my choice and would recommend it to others with children around the same age.

When my second child was born my first one was still under 2 so I decided to go with the more typical front back double stroller and that worked nicely for a time. As they both got older(now 3 and 1) I got tired of lugging the huge stroller around especially when my oldest was always in and out. So after much research I opted for the Joovy stroller. WE LOVE IT. My daughter loves the ability to get in and out, sit or stand. The front still reclines enough for my son to take a little nap if necessary. It does reduce the space for the back child once the seat is reclined but my daughter doesn't mind and usually takes that opportunity to stand or walk next to me. I have not had the need to put an infant seat in it but I suspect if you are planning to do this on a very regular basis this is probably not the best choice as I believe the back child would have little space and would need to be in an awkward position. We just took it on vacation to California and it was great in the airport and folded up quickly for gate check in. Also, love the color. It stands out especially in stroller parking at Seaword, Disney and the likes.
What an amazing stroller!!

We looked into many strollers and wanted to buy the Joovy for our youngest children, a 4 month old & 4 year old. I talked to parents who had the Joovy & said it was a little hard to steer. So, we bought the Ultralight, and we LOVE it. It's super easy to drive, even with a 35 pound preschooler sitting or standing on the back. The wheels are so nice. The stroller was super easy to assemble - my 4 year old & I put it together in minutes, with no tools. The big canopy is great for keeping the sun off of BOTH kids - and the color makes it stand out in a crowd (or stroller parking area at the zoo). It's really not much larger than a standard stroller, so it's not difficult to steer through crowded places - and it's just as nice on a walk. Another bonus of the Joovy - it works with many brands of infant car seats.
It's a little bit pricier than the standard Joovy, but it comes with the Parent Organizer included (the original Joovy doesn't) and that's $25 extra if you want to buy it. So it's really not a bad price if you factor in the Parent Organizer & the awesome wheels.
Love this stroller!!

I have a 3 year old and a 3 month old and this stroller is the best. It's light enough to take in and out of the car several times a day. It works great with the Graco snugride infant carrier. The only down side is the toddler jump seat is not stationary - but neither is my 3 year old so it doesn't really matter. I really love this stroller and I'm glad I spent the extra money on the ultralight.

We have a three and a half year old and a five month old. We love this stroller! Our older child loves to stand and hang on like a big girl but can sit when she gets tired. It works great with our infant carrier in front as well. Joovy's customer service is great - we called them about a problem we were having and they immediately shipped us a whole new stroller which is working great. Once we received the new one all we had to do was put it in the box provided and drop it off - they paid for the return shipping.

We bought this stroller b/c our 4 1/2 year old (who is tall for her age) still loved to ride in her stroller. She is now 5 and 47 pounds and still loves it, sitting or standing. She has never been bothered by leaning forward when the infant carrier is in place though I can see how some children would find this annoying. She loves how she can sit under the canopy when it sunny or raining and doesn't mind hunching down a bit. I appreciate the ease of this stroller as well as the sage color I chose. I purchased the babytrend infant carseat-carrier and it matches perfectly (great Consumer Report rating too). The only problem I have with the stroller is that her feet often slip off the footrest. There is a lip on the footrest for the back of her heels and it would be nice if it continued around to the front. This easy fix would prevent this problem. I find that I'm not the only mom complaining of this, based on reviews here. It would also be nice if the stroller could stand up when folded. I have a small, one-child stroller that stands on it's four wheels and it's so nice when moving it for whatever reason or storing it when not in use. You have to lie this stroller down, and because it's long makes it more annoying. I'd love if you could just fold it up and let go of it while you take stuff out of the car or whatever. That would be a nice design change. Anything to make a mom's life easier. My 8 year old, tall son, has also sat in it on occasion, although he's way too large for it. He's 76 pounds which exceeds the weight limit of course, but it hasn't broken, thank goodness! We have a large SUV so the size has never been a problem. Overall, it's been a great stroller ad I'm very happy to have it!

This is the best stroller I own (which is really a shining review- I think I own 10 strollers). It is very lightweight, amazingly manuverable, and folds easily. I was afraid my two very large children wouldn't fit, I have a 44" tall 3 year old who weighs 48 pounds. But, both she and her sister fit great, no problems with the balance of the weight either. The back bench seat is great- I know someone wrote they couldn't figure out how to attach it, but it's really very simple. Other strollers of this type have lower weight limits, and wouldn't work for me. I really can't say enough about this stroller. I even use it when I just have just one of my girls with me. This is the stroller you are looking for, it's absolutley worth every extra penny.

I just bought this stroller and used it for the first time today. It was my first experience with a double stroller and I loved it! yes, it is a little heavier to push than a regular stroller but with two kids, what do you expect. It held my 1 yr. old 20lb. son in the front and my 43 lb . 5 yr. old daughter in the back on the seat. The only problem was that my daughter has long legs so it's a little tough for her to keep her feet on the foot rest on the back, especially if the front seat in tilted back. She is on the older side though so for a smaller child it woul dbe perfect. I had no problem putting items in the basket and it actually holds alot! The parent organizer rocks!!

I am very impressed with this stroller- it is light, durable, easy to steer and does not take up my entire trunk. And I don't even drive a minivan! With a large two year old and a newborn, I was sure that I would end up with one of the big heavy tandems- but I gave the Joovy a shot and I am so glad I did. It's compatible with most infant seats and has a roomy and comfy padded toddler seat. The lower basket is easy to get to and I absolutely love the neoprene parent caddy. Best of all it's no heavier than my single stroller and gets around tight corners about as well too. The infant seat attachment and canopy are super easy to take off and put back on, which I have to do in order to fit it into my trunk, but once they're off and it's all folded up, I can still get a week's worth of groceries back there. Definitely money well spent!

I bought this for my then 6 month old and almost 3 year old. It is perfect. The carseat attachment worked great until the baby was sitting up well. Once she was sitting up, we put the baby in the seat with the footrest up and she's very comfortable. The 3 year old loves standing to ride. The parent organizer works great. Love the lightweight aspect. I take it everywhere. The wheels do well even on grass and dirt. The only drawback is that the basket isn't super huge.

Love this - wish we had gotten it sooner. Works great even if I only take one kid out because it is so light and easy to push. I am very tiny and have no problem getting it in and out of the car. It folds very flat - flatter than my single stroller - and lighter. The best part is that is pushes and turns so easily - it is really nice to take the kids out in it. I love the five point seatbelt in the front and the seatbelt on the back seat. I don't have a problem with the basket. The organizer is nice to have, but definitely not as easy to use as a plastic ones on most single strollers. It does the job though and keeps everything handy. My son loves this, though. I like that I can belt him onto the back seat if he is tending to roam, because that was a concern I had getting this since he is only 2.

I just received this stroller and I love it! I have a 3 month old and a 3 year old and I love that my 3 year old can sit on the little seat in the back or stand when he gets tired of walking (or gets into too much stuff at the store and HAS to sit instead of walking on his own!). It is much lighter than I had anticipated even though it says ultralight, I still didn't expect it to be as light as it is. It is easy to fold up too, once you get the hang of it. I would recommend this to anyone w/an infant and a toddler, it's money well spent for sure.

I have a 2 1/2 year old and an infant so I use this stroller on a daily basis. It is a good looking stroller as well. Compared to many other double strollers, this is by far better then most.

I wanted to make sure that this stroller was compatible with the infant car seat that we had. I did a little research and went to www.joovy.com. There is a car seat compatibility list that you can click on after you select the model you want. Then I came back to order it from Amazon.com since it was eligible for free shipping. I've been using it for a few weeks now and I'm very satisfied with the way it works with our infant car seat and my 2 ½ yr old loves riding on the bench.

I just received this stroller in the Sunset color...love it! Smooth ride great canopy. I felt that the front seat is a little shallow for my 3 1/2 year old. (the new baby is due any day) It can work, but she wasn't super comfortable. I also like the height of the handle bar, it's not low like so many strollers. It folds up and opens up like a breeze as I have no storage space right now it fits under the baby's crib! I definitely recommend this to any mom and dad.

I got this a couple of weeks ago for my 3 1/2 yr twins- I love it. The only downfall is that I did not get this stroller years ago ( or the double). I had to give up my graco duo glider because it got to hard to push and stear when the kids were well under 2. Then I moved to a jogger- moved smooth and easy but very big/wide. This is the perfect combination of ease and size. both kids love to ride in it, mainly the back. I even pushed all 3 of my kids in it with ease, in the back one sat and the other stood ( about 110 pounds) and it looks like it can handle it-nice bonus. I looked at the non ultralight model and the sit-n-stand and because of the weight of the kids already I went with the lighter, well contructed one. The wheels are some of the nicest I have seen on a stroller. The basket is a nice size but hard to get at.

This stroller has been great for my almost 3 year old and infant. I travel quite a bit alone with the 2 kids, so I bought this stroller to help me around in the airport. My older daughter loves riding on the back and actually rides longer than she would in an umbrella stroller. This really helps with my stress level while we are traveling in crowded airports.
My only complaint is that to collapse the stroller you really need both hands free, which for me is not possible with my younger child. I modified mine so that I could collapse it with one hand. I zip-tied a dowel to both of the collapsing triggers. (The dowel spans just under the parent organizer.) So now all I have to do is pull on the dowel in the center with one hand and the stroller will collapse.
The storage under the stroller has not been an issue for me as I usually pack light and don't carry a full diaper bag when we are out and about. I used to only use an umbrella stroller for everything, so had even less storage before I bought this stroller.
Wow, what a stroller!!

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.
br /
br /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).
br /
br /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.
br /
br /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.
br /
br /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!!
Pretty close to perfect!

This stroller is wonderful. After trying a side by side stroller, a double jogger, and trying to "get by" with a single stroller, I have finally found a stroller that works for all my needs. It can hold an infant seat, folds up quick and easy, is light weight, and is convenient for a busy toddler who doesn't always like to ride in a baby stroller. I love the parent organizer and I think it is better than the hard type. It has lots of room for everything. My infant is comfortable in her infant seat and my toddler loves to jump on and off and try sitting and standing. She thinks it is a fun ride. It is really quite short for a double stroller, especially without the infant seat attachment. You won't feel silly pushing a huge stroller with only one kid in it like I always seem to end up doning. The one thing I was worried about was where to put the diaper bag? Well, I have found the answer! I purchased a skip hop double duo bag and it attaches great along the side of the stroller! It frees up the bench area and is really easy to get at all the stuff. Yes, they do say on their web site that it is only meant for a double side by side stroller, but I do not see any reason why. The only thing is, depending on how stuffed your bag is, it does make the stroller a bit wider, but I am still able to get through all doorways. I would reccomend this stroller to anyone with two kids. It has made our life a little bit easier to manage.

It's in super high demand and it did take a while to track one down in the sage color, but we finally have it and I couldn't be happier with our purchase. We used the Iglesina Zippy stroller (lightweight and super easy to fold) for our first child and was holding off on getting a double when our second bundle of joy arrived, but it does come in handy for our 4 1/2 year old daughter when she gets tired at the mall and especially at Disneyland!
br /
br /I love:
br /the sage color
br /styling (very cool for a double not bulky)
br /ease of folding it up
br /smooth maneuverability, and
br /the fact that it's so lightweight as the "ultralight" name suggests.
br /
br /The only feature I would add (to any stroller) are sturdy hooks durable enough to hang a diaper bag.
br /
br /All in all - A stylish stroller for savvy moms!
works for us

I have a 5, 3 and 6 week old and have been really happy with this stroller. It maneuvers well, my 3 year old really enjoys it and overall we are really happy. I had a double before this and I wish this had been available 3 years ago. I've only had it a couple weeks so I hope it continues to work as it has already.
THE PERFECT STROLLER FOR TWO!!

I HIGHLY recommend this stroller! It is so convenient, lightweight and actually folds smaller than my Graco Metrolight! (without the canopy) The steering alone should make this stroller an award winner. I had my newborn in his carrier on the front and my 35# 3 year old riding on the back and was 'driving' through a rainy parking lot with ONE HAND holding an umbrella with the other. There was NO STRAIN to steer or push AT ALL! It is incredible!!! The basket is of course not ideal, but I didn't expect it to be, with all the other features it has, that was not a priority for me. My older son actually prefers to ride facing forward with his feet in the basket anyway. It clears up the handle bar to hold my bag that way, too! Anyway, I LOVE THIS STROLLER, it is a MUST HAVE!!! I have NO regrets!!
2 too go!!!

My daughter recently had her 2nd child with her first child being 4 years old. She wanted a double stroller that was not as big and bulky as the usuals but still wanted comfort for both her newborn and 4 year old. This stroller was the answer. Although the "seat" for the 4 year old could be a little deeper, overall this is a great present or purchase for any family adding a 2nd second child to thier family.
I would definitely recommend this to anyone.
Great stroller but could use some improvements.

I really like this stroller however the basket could be a little larger and easier to get too. It does not have a standard cup holder but mine came with one and it would be great if it had a harder one. I understand that it needs to be soft for your little one but they could put it to the outside of the stroller towards you that way it won't get in the way of your little one standing or getting in/out of the stroller. Very light weight stroller and that's great. We recently took it on a weekend trip and I have no complaints about the weight or how it handles. As explained before it could use some improvements with other things.
Very pleased, but there's no such thing as perfect

Pros:
br /lightweight
br /smooth roll
br /accommodates 3 year old and newborn (using Graco snug-ride infant seat)
br /canopy protects both kids from bright sun
br /parent organizer- drinks don't topple over, zippered pocket for cell phone, miscellany
br /easy assembly, including carseat adapter
br /bench seat slides to access basket
br /
br /Cons:
br /Small basket, holds a purse or SMALL diaper bag, but not your shopping bags at the mall
br /bench seat does not lock into place (minor detail, doesn't affect usability)
br /Requires two hands to fold and unfold... slightly awkward
br /
br /We test drove multiple double strollers, and finally settled on the Joovy. I literally stopped Moms and Dads at the zoo and other places to ask how they liked their double strollers, and the Joovy received consistent praises.
br /
br /No double stroller is going to be perfect, and as a parent you have to decide what features matter most to you. If the big storage basket and multiple cup holders are what you need most, this is not the stroller for you. (Though the 2 cup holders in the parent organizer are good, the snack tray's cup holder does not seem stable). If you are looking for maneuverability and something that will work as your kids get older and outgrow huge diaper bags, but still occasionally need to rest from walking, this stroller is practically perfect.
br /
br /My 33 lb, 38 inch tall 3 year old loves the big kid seat. She also still fits in the front seat when the baby is not with us. The baby doesn't really have an opinion, but he does fall asleep on strolls, and between the canopy on his infant carrier and the canopy on the stroller, his eyes are protected from the sun.
br /
br /It fits fine in the back of our Toyota Highlander.

br /I am pleased with our choice overall.

Stroller has been very effective. The only issue I have is that my older child constantly steps on the brakes when she gets on the "jump seat". The "jump seat" also slides back and forth especially when you don't want it to, I wish it locked into place. Otherwise a great stroller for the money and I like that I can navigate shopping isles with it and pop it in and out of my trunk with relative ease.
Nice stroller. .

We purchased this stroller for our 3 1/2 and 1 year old. This is the best stroller we have owed. My 3 1/2 loves the option of sitting, standing or walking. The weight of riders is evenly distributed making pushing this stroller a breaze. When both children are on board, you do need two hands to push. We purchased this stroller in Sunset and what a great color- easy to identify/find. The canopy is great and the fact that it covers both kids is even better. The downside to this stroller is the basket underneath is small and you are not able to store much. The stroller is definitely lightweight and can easily load in the SUV.
Wonderful!

I purchased this stroller before a vacation last month and love it! It took me about 5 or 6 minutes to put it together out of the box. The front seatbelt is easy to adjust. I love the parent organizer that came with it too! The one I got has two cup holders (the one I purchased for my sister only had one cup holder) and works great! My older daughters love to ride in the back. It is so much lighter than the usual double stroller. I was so happy to get rid of the old stroller! The only problem I've had is that my daughter's sippy cups are the tall ones and the cup holder in the fron tray isn't very deep, so if you hit a significant bump, the cup falls out a lot. I haven't noticed that the storage basket is too small, it's perfect for us. The foot rest in the front is a bit small, but hasn't been a problem. The material is really easy to clean and it seems really durable.

I needed a double stroller of some type for my 2 month old and my 3 1/2 year old. The traditional double stroller seemed excessive and not to mention bulky for me so I looked at the sit and stand strollers. Hands down, the Joovy Ultralight was the winner. It is very light, folds down flat, and has a mommy organizer. I know people are put off by the small basket-lack of storage- but when weighing the pros and cons I decided this was worth the sacrifice!
Love It!

I researched and studied many different strollers once we had our second child. I wanted a stroller that wasn't hard to push around stores or bulky. My 2 1/2 year old is very mobile and loves to be able to sit or stand. The attachment for the baby carrier was very easy to use. Now the baby is out of the carrier she sits well in the seat. My children are always wanting to see what is going on so the seat not reclining back is not a big deal. It goes back enough so the baby can sleep just like she does in a car seat. The stroller folds up very easily. I have even been able to fold it up and put it in the car when holding the baby - not easily but able to if you have to! This stroller is great for our family. Hope it works well for yours also!

This stroller is a great alternative to a double stroller. I like that I can use my older, non joovy infant carseat with it. The jumper seat is easy for my 2.5 year old boy to get in and out of by himself so i don't have to lift him up to get him in the seat. I recommend this stroller to anyone who has a two year old and is pregnant.

Both my 4 year old and 6 month old are wonderful shoppers but on a marathon shopping day when I am by myself my 4 year old does get a little weary of treading around behind me. He thinks he is too grown up for a baby stroller but was very excited to see the big boy seat on the back of 'his baby's' stroller. This stroller is awesome!! It caters for both of their needs without cramping my style or their's. He can sit, stand or kneel and I think the best part about it is that the chioce is his. The baby is also well catered for in his comfy up-front seat. We just got back from a vacation to Mexico and this stroller was perfect. The adjustable hood came all the way sheilding the little guy from the sun and wind and the basket had more than enough room for purchases. My 6 year old neice even had a turn. The parent organizer is really neat, we held up to 4 drinks in it at a time and they even stayed cool with the neoprene insulation. Another plus is how light the stroller is to pick up and it is so easy to collapse and put up again. The only downfall about the stroller is the amount of times you will be stopped by passers-by who want to know all about it and where you got it. We love Joovy!!!!
Love it, love it, love it!!

We got this stroller about a month ago, for our newborn and 22 month-old. It has since replaced both strollers we owned before it! It steers like a dream - I can steer it with one hand with no problem - something we don't experience with our Graco single stroller. Our toddler loves the novelty of being able to hop on and off or walk for a while, so he's content to "ride" it without feeling like he's trapped in the stroller. However, the seat and harness are wonderful for the times when I do have to trap him! Since we are still using the front to hold a carrier carseat, our toddler does have slightly less room due to the carseat extending into his sitting area. That, however, will be fine once the baby is sitting forward in the stroller seat. The parent organizer is great, and fits all of my coffees so far. Folds easily, and is easy to pick up and load into my SUV. On occasions when I have to take just the baby, I still use the joovy because its so darn easy. I think we'll get even more use out of it when the weather warms up. I'd recommend to anyone interested in a double stroller with an older and younger child.
No other double stroller can compare to this one!

I absolutely love my Joovy. We've had it for 9 months now and I have almost zero complaints.
br /
br /Pros
br /-Lightweight
br /-Fitted in the trunk of my Toyota Camry and now in the rear of my Toyota Sequoia even with the 3rd row in use.
br /-My daughter loves that she can sit or stand in the back or even hog the front seat. I am able to fit the baby carrier in the front or the back.
br /-Comes with the Parent Organizer.
br /
br /Cons
br /-Now that my little one doesn't need his baby carrier anymore, my only complaint is that the 5 point harness in the front is really tight. I think it's because my child is just abnormally large, but it's not a biggie. I just use the lap belts by themselves, and it works just fine.

br /Also, to those who complain that there isn't any storage. Just get The Mommy Hook Stroller Hanger - Black, problem solved!

I have had my Joovy Caboose Ultralight for almost a month and love it. It is light weight and easy to fold and unfold. I have a 3 year old and a newborn, this stroller fit my needs perfect because my 3 year old doesn't like to always ride in a stroller, yet she gets tired of walking. The "stand" part of the stroller is perfect for her, she can even sit down on the little bench if she wants too. The only problem I've encountered so far is that when using with an infant seat the older child does not have a lot of room to sit. However, that seems to bother me more than my 3 year old. I have a Peg Perego infant seat and it's fabulous that the Joovy Caboose compatible with that seat. I wish there was more storage, but I new before buying that storage was limited and made adjustments. I bought the J.J. Kole diaper bag system that hangs on the handle (works fabulous). I also bought the parent tray for the Joovy Caboose and that holds everything I need at arms length . . . bottled water, keys, bottle, pacifier, phone . . . I am very satisfied with the stroller and would advise anyone looking at double strollers to consider this. Especially if you have a toddler like mine who doesn't want to just sit in a stroller all the time.
Love the Joovy

What an awesome package deal Amazon had. It came with two extra accessories so I didn't have to pay extra to buy them (it was a speacial seat cover and the parent organizer). The item did not say these two accessories were included so I was pleasantly surprised when I found them in the box. I love the color and functionality and my three year old loves riding on it, whether sitting or standing. And because it's the ultralight, it's manageable to steer and to put away in the car.

I am thrilled with this stroller. So long, monster graco double that requires muscles I never knew I had to turn. My six month old, who doesn't sit up yet very well, sat right up in the front seat and happily hit the tray. He loves it! It is incredibly easy to put together (snap the wheels on basically) and lift. The best part though, is the movement. It turns so well and feels like it glides when I push it.
br /
br /I was slightly concerned that my 26 month old wouldn't be into the back seat, but she seems to love it! She gets to be in charge of the cup holder for her cup and my water bottle, which face her when she is sitting. She won't stand up.. yet.. but when she does there is a net pocket behind the seat that she can use. I was also wondering if the storage basket would be useless if the toddler is sitting on top of it - I found out that it is a net so I can reach in through the side if need be. Yay Joovy!
br /
br /I also wondered about if the handle would be tall enough. I am 5'10 and am really uncomfortable with most umbrella-type strollers both because I kick them when I'm trying to push and it hurts my back to have to bend to grab them. No worries with this one, it is certainly tall enough (compare the height in the specs to your other strollers if you are concerened) and I haven't kicked. I will add an image of my husband, 6'1 with the stroller because I would have found that useful.
br /
br /I never got to test out a Joovy Caboose non-ultralight so I can't speak to that issue. Once I knew I was going to buy the parent organizer, which comes with the ultralight (don't buy it separate!), I just went for it and assumed I would appreciate the other product upgrades.

Looking for a stroller for my three year old and new baby, I chose this one. It is perfect. I wanted something that would help wean my toddler's dependency on being pushed around while giving him the opportunity to have a break from walking. It has a smooth ride and is really sturdy. I haven't figured out how to use the stand part but I don't think that it's important. It is definitely big when folded but it is fairly light. Great stroller for what it is.

I have newborn, 2 and 4 year old children, and while the 4 year old no longer needs a stroller, the 2 year old definitely needs containing!!/ This stroller works well for my 2 smaller children; the infant seat fits in the front, and the 2 year old can easily seat himself or stand. the only drawback is the storage area.. it is impossible to reach when my toddler is seated! a small price to pay for such a well made and easy to use stroller!

As a working mom of a 28 month old and 5 month old, I had the internal "do we need a double stroller" debate for several months but all of my friends gave ho-hum reviews to their double strollers until I ran into a friend at the zoo last weekend and she had the joovy caboose. She RAVED about it, I had stroller envy, and my hubby and I decided to get it. I couldn't wait to get it out of the box and put it together (which I did on my own in about 15 minutes...with no tools needed!). It is everything I hoped it would be and I'm not sure what measurements I messed up (thought that it would only fit in our truck) but I was pleasantly surprised that it fits in an older model BMW 3 series. Worth every penny for the first stroller we ever bought (gotta love hand me downs)!!!!!! By the way, it now comes with the parent organizer so don't buy that separately.

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!

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!

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.

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!
light like they promised!

After researching dozens of double strollers, I purchased the joovy ultralight caboose. I have a 20-mon-old and another on the way and wanted something light enough to use everyday. I tried it out with my friend's toddler and even with over 50 pounds worth of kid (my friend's boy in the front, my son in the back) it was easy to push. I like that it turns easily and is nice and narrow. In fact, it is about the same size and weight as my single graco stroller, and steers much better even with two kids! Have yet to try the infant car seat attachment, but I plan on using that once the baby is born.

It is so lightweight and easy to steer. It is so comfortable for my 2 year old who is quite tall for his age. He loves to sit or stand in the back! My daughter is 4 months and her car seat is so easy to place in the front and she is secure. She loves the view when we take walks. The canopy covers both of them. I love taking them out together finally at the same time. Its hard to go out with small children at those particular ages. My son can still sit in the front and I can go out shopping with him and put some groceries in the back. This stroller is GREAT!!!! I am so happy and grateful that someone finally invented a carriage like this one. Well worth the money. I can use this carriage for at least the next two to three years.

I've had this stroller for two weeks now and I absolutely love it. It rolls so smoothly and it so easy to steer, even with one hand. It's easy to fold and unfold and lightweight for getting in and out of the trunk. My 8-month-old baby seems to enjoy the front seat. She can see where we're going and she can sleep comfortably. My 2-yr-old loves the options. She can stand or sit facing me and I can strap her in when I need to keep her on the stroller. Since she can face me, we can actually talk, so I think she gets bored less quickly.

br /Most of the minor issues I have are due to my daughter's age (26 months), since she's a little younger than the manufacturer's recommendation. She won't always stay on the stroller and sometimes drags her feet or tries to climb around. Those are really minor though, and I'm sure she will get better as she gets older. And, like I said, I can strap her in if I need to.

br /The only other negatives...
br /The handles for the standing child are a little awkwardly placed. She has to lean backward in order to hold onto them. She prefers to hold onto the back of the baby's seat or face backwards and hold onto the handlebars.
br /She's too tall to stand under the shade, so if it was raining or sunny, she would have to sit down.
br /The cargo space is pretty small (especially compared to my Graco duoglider) and difficult to access.
br /
br /But none of those things were enough to bring my rating down. The concept of the sit-n-stand is great, especially given that I will probably be able to use this stroller for years and my girls outgrew the old double stroller after only 8 months.

br /Compared to the other strollers I've owned, I can't say enough good things about this one.
Great stroller for travel

We had to travel several times this winter, one of which being Disney World. I normally use a side-by-side double stroller, but wanted a smaller, easier, more convenient stroller for the airport and the park. This stroller was so affordable, and so lightweight!! My toddler loved her 'big girl' seat in the back, too. Definitely worth it!

This stroller has been great with my 2 kids. It's light, small, it's easy to open and close. My 4 year old son loves it, he loves the fact that when he is tired or we are in a really congested area with people he can jump on board. And not only jump on board he can stand up and watch where we are going. The seating for my 4 year old is not as comfy as I would like but overall I am very satisfied.
Groovy Joovy?

We purchased this item on a "gold box" sale and got a very good price through Amazon! While I was concerned that it might not fit our Graco Snugride baby carrier due to earlier reviews (whew - it does!), I guess I should have also been concerned about the lack of room for my toddler who rides along on the back. When the baby carrier is affixed to the front, my poor toddler literally has to bend forward in order to sit down on the back! I can't wait until they are both able to face forward so my toddler isn't robbed of precious room! Other than that, I think my 2 year old is a little young to grasp the stand / sit concept...
