It features a front-facing baby seat, which can also accommodate many infant car seats, and a standing platform and seat for toddlers over the age of 2-1/2 years. Both seat can accommodate children up to 45 pounds in weight, up to 40 inches tall.  | The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Stroller offers: - Compact, lightweight profile for easy maneuvering.

|  | |  Adjustable padded rear seat allows a standing child to take a rest. (Shown here in sage.) | 
Universal Car Seat Adapter fits most major brands (shown in sage). View larger. | Streamlined Efficiency and Convenience Double strollers can be bulky and difficult to maneuver, with side x side seats creating an extra-wide profile, or other tandems being too deep to maneuver easily. The Joovy Caboose ultra-light, however, is designed for streamlined ease. Weighing in at just 21 pounds and sporting a neat, compact profile, the Joovy Caboose ultra-light Stand-on Tandem Stroller is a breeze to get around. It measures 41.5 x 21.5 x 38 inches (HxWxD). Sealed ball-bearing wheels contribute to a smoother ride as well, and a foam-padded handle offers additional comfort. A roomy under-seat basket provides room for your traveling essentials, and the nifty neoprene "Cool Essentials Parent Organizer," which includes a cup holder, keeps keys, your cell phone, and a drink close at hand. A Fun, Comfortable Ride The stroller is compatible with many infant car seats (see list below), offering easy "snap and go" convenience for traveling with a young infant. Once your baby is old enough to sit up independently, she can sit facing forward, secured safely with a five-point harness. Snacks and a drink are close at hand thanks to the removable child tray, and a wide sun shade keeps her safe from the elements. Whether you're browsing at the mall or trekking through the zoo, your older child will love the versatility that the Joovy Caboose ultra-light provides. When she gets tired of walking, she can simply hop onto the standing platform. Comfortably padded handles are available for her to hold. Or she can take a rest on the adjustable, padded seat, which is also equipped with a three-point harness. Compatible Car Seats The Joovy Caboose ultra-light Tandem Stroller can be used with the following infant car seat models: The Graco Snug Ride Series and Safe Seat; the Peg Perego Primo Viaggio and Primo Viaggio SIP; the Evenflo Embrace; the Compass Light & Portable Infant Car Seat; the Britax Companion; the Safety 1st Designer 22; the Eddie Bauer Infant Car Seat (models 22-625 and 22-626); the Baby Trend Latch-Loc & Flex-Loc; the Chicco Key Fit Car Seat; the Combi Centre Series and Combi Connection; and the Maxi-Cosi Mico. | Also available in: |  Sage |  Black |  Sunset |  Camo |

First impression is great! April 29, 2007 Lisa (Kauai, HI) 39 out of 39 found this review helpful
As a mom of three and having owned a wide variety of strollers over the years I love the way this stroller looks and rolls out of the box. To me, this is such a lightweight, easy to fold, unfold and load into the trunk item. It rolls so smoothly and turns on a dime. The parent holder looks so cool and CAN be WASHED!! My three year old son fit well on the back seat and the smile he had on his face when I pointed out the handles so he could stand securely on the back told me he'll actually stay on this in the mall. My six year old, 43 pound daughter rode on the back with no weight in the front seat and the stroller felt sturdy and not at all like tipping back. Out of the box this beats any of the Peg Perego or Graco strollers we've owned in the past. I'll update this review after I've used it with the new baby on the front and put some miles on this wonderful stroller!
We tried them all--this is the one! June 17, 2007 A. Hoffmann (Hamden, CT USA) 29 out of 30 found this review helpful
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 Stroller Changed My Life" July 6, 2007 Essay Doctor (Philadelphia, PA) 15 out of 15 found this review helpful
Forgive the dramatic title for this review, but really, this stroller is fantastic. I have a 1-year-old and a 5-year-old and it's the best thing that happened to me this summer. We had a Peg Perego which we loved, but the tiny platform on the back required the 5-year-old to do awkward contortions in order to hang on. We've been using the Joovy for about two months now, and so far, so good. It was a cinch to put together (I did it myself in about 10 minutes), and it really is incredibly lightweight for a double stroller. As previous reviewers have mentioned, its one disadvantage is its length. We do not have minivans, but the Joovy fits in the back of both of our Subarus. In the Impreza hatchback, it takes up the entire back. If you remove the front snack tray as well as the sun shade, you can buy yourself a bit more space. But because this stroller makes getting around so easy, I do not begrudge the space it requires. It folds up flat, and easily. The roller-blade technology used for the wheels does make for a smooth ride (and push). The stroller navigates bumpy Philadelphia sidewalks easily (the seat belt for the child sitting in the back works well to keep him from sliding off when the bumps are big or unexpected). I have noticed that the stroller veers a bit like a car with tires that need to be re-aligned when my 46-pound 5-year-old is on the back. I think that the stroller is just straining a bit carrying 70 pounds of kids. When the 1-year-old is in the stroller by himself, it's not a problem. Moreover, the 5-year-old is tall for his age, but he still fits nicely on the back, sitting or standing. He ducks a bit when the sun shade goes down over his part of the stroller, but he's yet to complain as I think he's just happy to be riding. Finally, as one of the posters said, the Parent Organizer that comes packaged free with this stroller is great--it holds water bottles, keys, wallets. Everywhere I go, at least one person stops me to ask me about the stroller. That's no reason to buy something, but it certainly reminds me why I did.
Money well spent July 20, 2008 V Howard (Maryland) 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
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.
Traveling w/ 2 is a happier task. October 1, 2007 Robin Barquilla (Jacksonville Beach, FL United States) 5 out of 5 found this review helpful
This is the best purchase you could make when you travel alot with 2 kids. I recently bought the Joovey Ultralight stroller before going on a trip with my 2 girls (minus the husband) and it made it more enjoyable. I have a 5 month old (in a car seat)and a 3 1/2 yr old that weighs about 38lbs. and is just under 40" tall. Both girls were very comfortable and stayed where they should, safe and secure on the stroller. Anyone who has traveled with small children in a busy airport knows the concerns of keeping your children close and safe. This is the answer to your prayers. It's very light weight, very easy to manuver with just one hand and is shorter than a double stroller and just as wide as a single stroller. The convenient parent organizer is just right for your drinks and travel documents that you will need handy. there is even a small zipper pocket for a little more security. And going through the security check point was a breeze too. The stoller folds very easily. Just remember, you are not going to need the shade canopy while traveling so detatch it and pack it in you suitcase for later. The same goes for the snack tray unless your small one will be in the front seat sitting up. The basket on the bottom is a bit small for a daiper bag packed with all the essentials but just right for the 3 yr olds small backpack of entertainment. Living in FL., Disney, zoo's and other amusement parks are part of our life so we look forward to using our Ultralight for those trips aswell. If you have 2 kids and your on the go as much as we are you will not be disappointed by this purchase. It is a lifesaver.
