Joovy Caboose Stand-On Stroller Reviews

Choosing a new stroller is quite a difficult and expensive thing to do, so you want to make sure you make the right choice. Listening to others views is a good way of finding out if there is something that could be better or needs something extra, it may be that something someone else has found with the stroller will make you decide it's not for you or visa versa.

Here are some Joovy Caboose Stand-On Stroller Reviews from people who have actually bought the stroller, the facts from people who really know the truth about this product.

Good luck with your choice.

Joovy Caboose Stand-On Stroller Review #1

Great alternative to a double stroller...

We have a 3 year old and a 4 month old and this stroller suits us well. My daughter is very tall for 3 and her feet drag on the ground in most strollers so the Joovy Caboose Stand-On Stroller is perfect for her. I like that I can buckle her in when I need to and she likes the option to stand giving her a little more freedom than in the past. After pushing around a Graco Duo-Glider that I borrowed from our sister in-law this thing seems so light!

Other tandems are very long making them hard to steer, this one has a shorter footprint so it is a lot easier to maneuver. My son is large too and outgrew his infant car seat very early so the front seat does need to be reclined for him due to his age. This does not give my daughter a ton of room when she is sitting but he'll be able to sit in the upright position soon enough. I think it is great for getting the older child from the car to the store w/o having to worry about traffic in busy parking lots. It's a lot more convenient than bringing a HUGE double stroller everywhere for a 3 year old who might want to ride and might not. It should be useful for a lot longer than a traditional double stroller for anyone with kids spaced a couple of years apart.

BEST INVESTMENT YOU CAN MAKE

I had a similar stroller "sit n stand" for my oldest two children which were 3 yrs apart and absolutely loved it even though it was more costly than this one and much heavier. Ten years later I have a 2 year old and expecting this spring. I have spent many hours online and in stores searching for a decent double stroller that is not heavy, hard to steer or bulky when folded to no avail. Then I found this!

Even though I don't have the baby yet... The Joovy Caboose Stand-On Stroller folds up smaller than my single stroller and steers much smoother so I am extremely happy using it with only one child. With the holiday shopping I use the back section to carry packages and my toddler is content in the front, or if he gets bored I swap out positions with the packages. I know without a doubt I will love it even more when the baby comes.

The only "problem" if you can even call it that is there is no cup holder or tray for parent. I never have used the tray on my old travel system and a cheap $5 attached cup holder did the job for me!

Joovy Caboose Stand-On Stroller Review #3

Joovy is MUCH Better and worth the extra money

Yesterday I logged on the to the Babies R Us site to write a five star review for the Joovy Caboose Stand-On Stroller. We absolutely love this stroller. I was shocked to see the recent one star reviews that have been posted in the last few weeks. So I took the reviewers advice and visited the local Target. Here is what I found:

From Handle to tray front the Joovy Caboose Stand-On Stroller is 11 inches shorter. The shorter wheelbase makes for much easier steering.
The Caboose has a higher handle height for the parent. It also has the same deluxe foam handles that the $800 Bugaboo has. The child handles have the same deluxe foam. The infant car seat attachment is even covered in the deluxe foam.
One reviewer mentioned that the Joovy Caboose Stand-On Stroller is square tubing and not all accessories fit, but square tubing is far stronger than round or oval tubing. It also looks cool. The frame is very rigid and strong.
When folded the Caboose is half as tall 12 inches, the other one is 24 inches. The caboose tray and canopy nest perfectly when folded. The Baby Trend is 28 inches tall when folded if the canopy is left on. The Baby Trend tray also slams into the floor when the stroller is folded. The Caboose has a metal folding lock, the Baby Trend has a plastic one.
The Caboose canopy is much bigger and has canopy locks on each side.
The harness buckles on the Caboose are deluxe with light reflective straps. This is a good comparison of the quality of the strollers. The Joovy Caboose Stand-On Stroller has a light reflective harness that has at least 3X more light reflective material. The Baby Trend harnesses are very difficult to operate and can pinch. Research other Baby Trend product reviews and you will see this problem is already documented. The five point harness on the Caboose has two shoulder height positions. One of the positions is completely above the seat back height of the Baby Trend stroller. That is the reason that it appears that there is more room on the Baby Trend rear seat. The Baby Trend front seat back is so low there is no head support for the front child.
I checked the warranties on both products. The Joovy Caboose Stand-On Stroller has a lifetime and the Baby Trend 180 days.
The parent tray on the Baby Trend I looked at was already broken. The push button on the side of the tray that releases it to rotate had fallen out and the tray could not be locked in place.
The Caboose infant car seat attachment is compatible with many more car seats. It will take the Chicco, Britax, Compass, Graco, Evenflo and Peg seats. The Baby Trend will not accept many of the new car seats on the market.
The fabric on the Caboose is rip-stop 600D nylon. This is the same fabric back packs and luggage use for it's durability. The Baby Trend is a light weight poly/cotton.

If you really look close there is really no comparison of the quality of these two products. The Joovy Caboose Stand-On Stroller is a better engineered product and each important component is better quality than the Baby Trend. As I walked out of the Target with my Caboose the lady working in the juvenile department asked me where I got my cool stroller.
