The Caboose stroller by Joovy offers parents an alternative to big, bulky double strollers. If you frequently find yourself carrying your 3-5 year old while pushing your infant or toddler in your stroller then you should take a look at the Caboose.
Most, if not all, double strollers are designed for infants / children who are about the same age. But, as parents, we all know that your older child, who could be 3 or 4 years older than your younger child, needs TLC too. Our children can frequently change their minds – walk versus sit. And sitting is not always a good alternative for fidgety children.
The Joovy Caboose stroller is a sit and stand tandem stroller that allows the rear passenger to either sit or stand – a very practical solution for an age-old problem. Your child can stand facing forward and lean back against the safety strap and he or she can hold on to their own stroller handles. Alternatively, your child can sit down on the rear facing, height adjustable, padded seat when he or she gets tired, and with the rear seat’s 3-point harness your little one is safe and secure.
Key Features
Infant Car Seat: The Caboose stroller can accommodate a wide variety of infant car seats – see the compatibility list below.
The rear seat on the Caboose folds up and down so your child or a toddler can either sit comfortably on the padded seat or he or she can stand on the Caboose footboard / platform. The Joovy Caboose has handles and a safety strap that ensures a safe ride for your standing child.
Easy Steering & Handling
The swivel front wheels run like a Swiss watch – they are built with sealed ball bearings – this means that the Caboose stroller is highly maneuverable in crowds and on uneven surfaces.
Protective Canopy
A removable canopy comes standard with the Caboose stroller. It is made of rip stop material and it has reflective stitching – this means that, in addition to looking good, the canopy is built to last and it helps you be seen if you are strolling after sunset.
Wheels
Your child will benefit from the wheels found on the Joovy Caboose… The all-rubber tires ensure an extra smooth and comfortable ride.

X Cons
- The storage basket could be larger
- It’d be great if the optional parent tray / cup holder would come standard with the Caboose stroller
- There are only 2 sitting positions for the front seat
- Shorter parent have difficulty pushing the Caboose – the addition of a height-adjustable handle would be a welcome feature
