If you have two children who are about the same age, two children who will benefit from a really cool stroller, and if you are looking for a stroller that will make your strolls quite enjoyable... then you should take a close look at the Joovy Caboose stroller.
I just got back from vacation with my seven year old daughter. While on vacation I drove my daughter nuts because I kept stopping parents to ask them about their strollers. I was intrigued with the latest stroller designs and features... What will they think of next?
One stroller in particular caught my eye - the Joovy Caboose, sit and stand, stroller. I was already familiar with Joovy, the stroller manufacturer from Texas who is known for their high quality and innovative designs - but I've never seen the Caboose stroller in action - until now.
The Caboose is what I would call a stroller and a half. It's not as big, bulky or heavy as double strollers - it's ideal for parents who have two stroller-aged children, i.e., a two year old and a four year old.
The Caboose has the capability to accommodate a wide variety of infant car seats. The list of compatible infant car seats is actually quite impressive. And the rear seat, a jump seat, is quite innovative - it folds down to accommodate a child or a toddler who is tired of walking or standing. If your child wants to get a better view while ridding on their 'chariot' or if your child is simply tired of facing backwards, the jump-seat folds up and out of the way so he or she can stand on the Caboose footboard / platform. The Joovy Caboose has handles, a strong platform and a safety strap that ensures a safe ride for your standing child.
Oh how I wish I had this five years ago. My daughter would have absolutely loved to stand on the back of the Caboose. I can't tell you how many times I pushed an empty stroller while carrying my fidgety daughter.
Okay, the stroller looks great, it's lighter than conventional double strollers, one of your children can sit or stand and the front seat of the Caboose is ideal for either infants or children alike. So what? Why should you get excited about the Caboose stroller? Good question, let me tell you what I learned in my parent interviews.
The Joovy Caboose makes it easy for parents with multiple children to get out. That's it. "Getting out to stroll, going shopping and running errands is no longer a burden" one mother told me. Another mother said that "The Caboose stroller keeps everyone happy and it's easy to fold, pack, store and transport". And finally, a proud dad told me "the Caboose stroller removes the fuss, my children and I look forward to our Caboose rides."
Why should you buy this stroller?
You should buy this stroller if you have two children and you are looking for a practical alternative to big, clunky double strollers. You should buy this stroller if you find yourself carrying your four year old in one arm... while pushing your stroller with your free hand. And you should buy this stroller if your older child is too big to sit... but not big enough to go the distance.
Why should you 'not' buy this stroller?
If you have two infants or two toddlers and you need two full-featured seats - i.e., if you need to attach two infant car seats.
