JOOVY CABOOSE TOO ULTRALIGHT STROLLER REVIEW

Joovy is a family-run business that considers their employees, customers and factory partners as members of our their. Joovy offers baby gear that is functional, fun and affordable. From single, double and even triple strollers, playardswalkers, highchairs, potty training products, baby slings and ride on toys!
 
 
With our growing family we have out grown single strollers, I had the opportunity to review the new Caboose Too Ultralight along with the Caboose Too Seat. The Caboose Too Ultralight can be used as a single stroller with the stand or rear bench seat behind the front seat or you can purchase the Caboose Too Seat and use as a double stroller.  As you can imagine I have tried several different types of double strollers in the past seven years but the Caboose Too Ultralight far exceeds my expectations! From easy to installation, easy to use - open and close. Compact to fit in my van. Easy to maneuver and my kids enjoy being in it! Which makes my life so much easier!


The Caboose Too Ultralight is like having 2 strollers in one.  Option one is to take full advantage of the 2 full-size reclining seats. The ‘Too’ seat bridges the gap when children are too young to ride or stand on the back.  As your children grow, it can adapt, allowing the older to ride on the rear bench seat and standing platform.


My husband installed the stroller about 10 minutes. The instructions were very simple to follow with easy components to assemble.  


Product Features:
~ Weighs just over 21 lbs. with the second full-size seat installed it is just over 23 lbs.
~Two full-size reclining seats, front seat has a 3-position recline and rear seat has a 130 degree recline with shoulder and waist safety belts.

~  Includes  organizer, child tray, universal car seat adapter and removable rear seat.
~  All-wheel suspension, linked parking brakes, over-sized canopy and large size storage basket with side pockets.
 

~  Ultra-maneuverable and compact, easy trigger-fold design, accommodates two children up to 90 lbs.


As mentioned you can add the Caboose Too Seat for a full rear seat. This accessory converts the bench seat of the Caboose stroller to a full-size seat in minutes! It installs easily onto the existing rear bench seat and stroller frame. The Caboose Too Seat reclines and includes a 5-point harness. It accommodates a child with a minimum age of 6 months and max weight of 45 lbs.

The Caboose Too Seat is a perfect solution for families looking for a compact double or triple stroller and for those with children close in age. The Caboose Too Seat offers additional support and comfort for children still too young to use the bench seat and the standing platform of the Caboose. This configuration offers the flexibility to use the Caboose Too Seat until the older child reaches the point where they want to sit or stand on the back of the Caboose - when ‘independence’ kicks in and they are big enough to do so.
 
 

The Caboose Too Seat is a perfect solution for families who would like to have a  compact double or triple stroller and for those with children close in age. The Caboose Too Seat offers additional support and comfort for children still too young to use the bench seat and the standing platform of the Caboose. I love this configuration for my younger two children and as they grow we can easily remove the Caboose Too Seat and use the rear bench seat. I love how flexible this stroller and set up is, making it an easy solution to an everyday need!




 
There are so many fantastic features about this stroller that I have never seen on any other stroller. It definitely meets my growing family's needs. With my two little ones safely and comfortably seated on our Caboose too Ultralight Stroller my 5 year old who is very small is able to stand on the back as I push for short periods of time. As a mom of four, soon to be give this stroller offers a ton of storage between the storage basket, side pockets, parent organizer and at times I have even used the back stand for storage!
 


Whether you have one child or several Joovy offers products that would meet your needs.  The Caboose Too Ultralight Stroller can be purchased on Joovy.com (or a store near you) or for $299.99, the Caboose Too Rear Seats are available in Black or Blueberry Colors and can be purchased for $69.99.

  5. I don't know what we'd do without our double stroller. It looks like this one has tons of storage underneath, something ours doesn't have. Great review, love all the photos. Your kids are adorable.

  14. We bought our Joovy Caboose Ultralight almost 3 years ago and it is still going strong. The first year and a half that we had it I walked 1-3 miles a day with it (we lived close to everything so I didn't drive places often). I read some reviews before purchasing that the stroller seemed rickety. While it does seem like it may not hold up it certainly does! We have taken Joovy Caboose Ultralight "off roading", through gravel roads, to Disneyland where we've had up to 4 kids riding at one time. I could go on and on about how great this stroller is, and even though it is now a little dirty (hehehe) people still come up to us and ask us where we got our stroller.

  19. We actually own the Joovy Big Caboose, it is a little hard to turn corners given the size and weight of three kids but it was a life saver when we needed it!
