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. The large, sealed ball bearing wheels give your children a smooth ride and you’ll find it is super easy to push. And thanks to its minimal weight, you can steer with just one hand!
Kids absolutely love the independence and “cool” element the Caboose offers. 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.
The Caboose Ultralight offers a cool, modern style and its tough 600D nylon fabric is available in rich, vivid colors: Blueberry, Orangie, Greenie, Brownie and Black.
Offering families options and flexibility, the Joovy Ultralight Caboose is a great investment for your growing family.

Fantastic Stroller!, March 23, 2010
I love this stroller. It is so much better than the Baby Trend Sit-n-stand. My 3.5 year old loves to ride on it and it is very easy to manuever with both him and his sister in her infant car seat. It feels very sturdy, not too heavy for the type of stroller it is. I also got the parent organizer with it---It's great, holds things much better than the traditional plastic tray.
A LifeSaver for any parent with 2 little kids.., March 28, 2010
Over the years I have owned 8 different strollers. They just keep getting better and I'm no longer a poor college student so my options are a little more expanded then when I first started having… kids. The Joovy Ultralight caught my eye when I had kids #4 and #5. What really turned my attention is the larger canopy that covers both the child in the seat and the child in the back. I did wait for the 2010 model to be released. The weight of this stroller is amazingly light. It is very easy to handle while it is folded up and barely takes up any more room than my MacLaren Quest Umbrella Stroller. It's very easy to get in and out of a sedan trunk. It unfolds in an instant. The folding mechanism is a little more tricky, you need to really put pressure in just the right place to get it to collapse but after a few times of folding it down you get used to it and it then becomes a snap. There is a latch that holds it shut so it won't fly open when you're not expecting it to. There is also a latch as an extra security measure to keep the stroller open. I find this to be a very nice feature. One flaw is that the latch that acts as an extra security to keep the stroller open has to be manually latched. It would have been better if the latch automatically locked when the stroller springs open but the downside of having that is then you would have a two step release to collapse and I'm sure people would have been outraged to have to take an extra step. Another feature I really like is that the stroller comes with an infant carseat adapter and parent organizer/drink holder for the handlebar. A lot of strollers these days don't include this, you have to buy them extra and they can become expensive. The infant carseat adapter is made so that it can fit just about any infant carseat without having to move bars around or make adjustments. The infant seat fits snug when you strap it in. The 2010 model has a different reclining mechanism for the front seat. It is much easier to use than the 2009 model and reclines almost entirely flat. This is great for the front seater but leaves almost no room for sitting for the child in the back - they would have to stand. There are multiple recline levels though which would allow for the older child to sit. The back seat is adjustable in that it moves forward or backwards. It is also padded and has a three point harness clip to keep your active toddler in the stroller when needed. It has padded handlebars for the toddler to hold as well as a padded handlebar for mom or dad. The parent organizer is nice, it has two drink holders and a zippered pocket. The underneath storage is quit adequate. It can hold a lot of stuff. The easiest way to get into the underneath storage is to go at it from the top, slide the toddler seat all the way back and it opens a space to get into the storage. There are also two mesh pockets on both sides of the lower storage, nice for storing little things you might need quickly like wipes & diapers. The mesh pockets snap on the top. The stroller handles really well. Not quite as well as any stroller with a front swivel wheel but extremely well. The wheels don't stick, they glide nicely. The front wheels can lock for going over rough terrain. It is narrow enough to fit down most shopping aisles and isn't so super long and bulky as other full double strollers. For moms expecting their second child I would not hesitate to recommend this stroller.
The Perfect Stroller for Tot and Infant, March 16, 2010
I am so thrilled with this stroller! I've got a 3 year old and 5 month old that we still like to keep in the carseat and this stroller really fit the bill. My 3 year old loves how she can easily get on… and off when she gets tired/feels like walking, and I really like that my infant faces me. It is very easy to use with the carseat with the adapter that's included. when she's old enough to sit in the front seat, I was glad to see that the harness is attached and will be a great secure seat. We have a peg perego for our first single stroller and I was always annoyed that the harness wasn't attached to the back of the seat except by a little hook that use to always slip out. Not such a big deal as my tot got bigger, but not helpful when she was an infant. what I also like is how easy it is to open and close, and how light it is! It's a little long with the car seat adapter, but fits easily into my Hylander. It's also a great shade of Orange. Would definitely recommend this to anyone with a toddler and smaller child.
LOVE IT, February 1, 2010
For those of you who read these and wonder what to believe belive me this stroller is wonderful. For all you first time moms if you are thinking about having another kid skip the single stroller and get… this I have two kids and one on the way we recently went to disneyland and this stroller was perfect it held my back pack(full of snacks and lunch) jackets and a small diaper bag. The basket size is a little smaller than a single stroller but you can take a whole other kid It was way light after 6 days at disneyland and lots of pushing my arms never got tired ;)It lived up to my expectations and even though the price waas a little more you get what you pay for and this is a nice stroller. sorry this is so long it is just so great!
PERFECT!!! GREAT FOR DISNEY WORLD!, January 25, 2010
I took my Joovy Ultralight to Disney World in November 2009. I've been using it for two years now. It is perfect for Disney, especially since I can spot the bright orange easily. I have a 6-year-old and… a 4-year-old. I removed the front tray so that my younger daughter can get in and out for the rides on her own (a must for Disney) otherwise she was constantly stepping on the seat to get out. Since she needed storage for her drinks and snacks, etc. I attached two Sunshine Kids Side Rider baskets, one on each side of her seat (attached to the outside arms)... perfect solution for an older child. I wrote to Joovy asking them to make cup attachments accessories like they did for the Ergo.... fingers crossed. I love my Joovy and I plant to use it for my mext Disney trip since it's a lot of walking for young children and renting their double stroller for my stay would have cost $300.00. The only problem is having to take it on the buses back to the resort but it folds up nicely. NOTE: It does NOT stand up when closed! Ugh. It also cleans up nicely. I swear I used only my Huggies unscented baby wipes to wipe the dirty seats after Disney and they came out spotless. I used the wipes because they were all I had. They worked great and no rinsing! I will be devastated when I my girls outgrow it. I'm hoping it has good resale value on eBay! I would like to add that I have never used this stroller with a car seat so please see other reviews if you are interested in that. I used it for my daughters when they were already out of a car seat. |
