Joovy Caboose Ultralight Stand-On
4 reviews
Wish I had it earlier – Ok, for a big/long pram it's pretty easy to manoeuvre & get around. Folds well but I have to take off the good & tray to get it nicely in the boot of my car. Things to remember are the front seat can't really recline if you have a toddler sitting at the back. If you want an extra seat they are sold separately but may come in handy. Pretty good storage underneath but access is a bit hard.
It's doing the job I needed it for so I'm very happy. Purchased from toys r us for $229 & the extra seat $45. Cant go wrong :)
Best Pram ive ever had!! – Ive been searching for a pram for my 3 years old son and 1 year old daughter. Im happy that i saw this on toysrUs/babiesRus catalog. I went tgere the next day and i tried the pram and i fell in love with it. And luckily it was on sale. I saved $80. I didnt buy the second chair. It is easy to push, turn, fold and carry. It is lightweight. The only down i think is when you fold it, is abit long not like the other prams but its ok. As long as its not heavy. I highly recommend this pram. Even my niece who is 8 years old and really heavy she tried to seat at the back and it wasnt hard to push at all.
Fantastic! – This pram is exactly as advertised and works perfectly for me. I have a 2.5 yr old and 1yr old and they love riding in it. I had a side by side previously and found my older child would annoy my baby. With the Joovy Caboose Ultralight, this is no longer an issue. I also have a 5 yr old who has used the back seat comfortably. It is really easy to put up and down and fits nicely in my sedan. Although, please note they are a bit longer than a standard pram when folded.
It steers fantastically with one child (one handed) and really well with both children on board (I have to use both hands). It steers just as well as any other pram I have used.
The storage basket is huge. I can fit everything I need for the day at the park in it. It is a bit hard to access when the older child is seated though.
Overall, I can't fault this pram. Easy to fold/unfold. Very practical.
Lightweight yet solid, handy option for toddler/baby combo – With the toddler/baby combo, you have a few options. Many of my mum's group mates went for the Phil & Teds or similar, which is a good option if your kids are only 1-2 years apart, but mine were 2.5 years apart, and my toddler was tall, and was never going to fit in the pouch seat of those options. Enter the Joovy Caboose. Super lightweight, yet strong enough to hold both wriggling kids, it's a good option if your toddler no longer wants to sit in a pram but gets too tired to walk or stand the whole time. The best bit is the sit or stand option for the toddler. Mine loved to stand facing me and talk to me about her day on the way home from daycare.
I think what I liked most about it is it gives each kid what they need: baby in the seat as per a normal pram, sit/stand option for the older kid who wants to stand but we know they can't do it the whole time. So it's better than just adding a standing board to a normal pram.
Not a fancy pram with all the bells and whistles, this is your basic travel from here to there device, and it's pretty good for that. It manouvers well with the front wheels either locked or free to move. It's narrow enough for normal aisles, and is only a bit longer than other prams. We've taken it into the city, to the zoo, on many an excursion, and it handles it really well. Because it's so light, you're really only pushing the kids' weight, so it's pretty good for your energy as well.
It has a decent sized basket, and a keys/phone mesh pocket on the back of the seat. The baby bar is handy, and although the seat does have one or two recline adjustments, they're fairly minimal, definitely not for small babies that need to be fully reclined. Five-point harness on baby seat, lap belt on the toddler seat. Note, it now offers an option for a full-size back seat as well.
It doesn't come with a seat pad, so I got that extra, and I also got the rain cover, as it's not a standard thing. The hood is huge and very flexible; it can come right down to protect from setting sun, or spread across both kids for pretty good rain protection if you're caught out, or it can fold completely up.
Non-linked back breaks feel kind of flimsy but worked. Hard to get up with thongs on, tho, as they're little pieces of plastic that are sharp on a bare foot. Solid tyres, so you never have a flat, but they're not as comfy of a ride as are air-filled tyres.
Easy to fold, and folds flat, but longer than a normal pram, so it wouldn't fit in a tiny car. Lightweight and easy to lift.
Great option if you have two kids who don't want to squished into the other tandem pram options. Or for excursions where the older kid isn't going to be able to stand on the attached board of a pram the whole time. Lightweight great option for toddler/baby combo Non linked breaks
