Joovy Big Caboose Stand-On Tandem Triple Stroller Red
I bought this stroller after much research and debate. I have owned my fair share of strollers and while this has some downsides, I think it is the best for the money. I have a 5, 4, 2 and newborn. With the baby in the front in carseat, I can put the 2 year old in back and have either the 4 or 5 sit. It is still easy to steer with all 3. It does take some “ummph” to turn when loaded, but that is understandable. If I put the baby in the back then theolder child has to stand, which is a problem, but who wants this stroller to be longer? I have a honda odyssey and it fits fine in my trunk, I don’t haveto put seats down. I do have to take off front tray and shade, but I had to do this with every double or triple I have owned. Takes like 5 sec to snap it back on. My husband loves this because the handle bar is tall (he is 6′2″) and we purchased the essentials organizer which is great to hold drinks etc. I like that I can reach down between the seats into the basket to get stuff out. The wheels roll very smoothly. I amvery happy with my purchase and every I see tells me how cool my stroller is…. the “limo” of strollers I have been told.

Joovy Caboose Ultralight Stand-On Tandem Stroller Sage

Joovy Caboose Ultralight Stand-On Tandem Stroller Sage 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.

Joovy Caboose Stand-On Tandem Stroller Orange

Tag: Baby Productsadmin @ 1:28 am
Joovy Caboose Stand-On Tandem Stroller Orange This is a wonderful stroller. I have a 4-year-old and a 21-month-old. They love it and I can utilize the - um - family restrooms (and smaller) without taking the kids out of the stroller! A great help when you’re out shopping without other adult help. The stroller steers and maneuvers as well as the infant travel system we used prior. The handle is higher than other models I have used and looked at which is nice for taller people.

The seatbelts are easy to use - once you find them. Let me explain. The back seat is the problem. The belt often gets hung up on the bars under the front seat. It is a problem that only happens when you close and then reopen the stroller and only when you have already placed a child in the front. I have just had to buckle it once I am going to fold the stroller (and/or put the back seated child in first) and the problem does not happen. The storage basket is not extremely roomy. I am able to put a SMALL diaper bag in it and my purse might just fit there too but that is about it. (No, I am not a giant purse-carrying mommy.) However, I wouldn’t put my purse there because the back seat covers up the access pretty well making it impractical.

The folding is a bit cumbersome (it fold forward, away from you - it’s just a bit odd but not a big deal) and you have to actually lock it shut. This is similar to umbrella strollers and most travel system (and larger strollers) lock automatically so that took some getting used to.
The stroller is sort of heavy but mostly bulky. It is not as large but just a heavy as the travel system we have used.

I bought the parent organizer to go with it and I would highly recommend it. It is nice to put my drink somewhere too. It is neat and washable!

The children are back to back and sometimes bump heads causing the inevitable squabbles, and the child in the back can dangle his (or her) feet on the ground causing the inevitable irritation of the parent pushing. My boys are -well let’s say - active but the stroller is stable and has not tipped.

I’d buy it again - and I don’t often say that about baby/toddler products. Usually I feel that that products don’t live up to the price tags, in terms of quality, usefulness, and durability.
