 4 Stars for Looks 2 Stars for Performance January 1, 2009
Written by the Husband but my wife agrees with me!
I was given this stroller as a gift for performing some service work from the CFO of Joovy. I am VERY grateful to have received the stroller and the privilege to review how well it performs. I told them I had a double Phil & Ted stroller I really liked it, but was having our third child and would love to try another double stroller!
My overall opinion of the Joovy Double Stroller is relatively simple. I give it four stars for the look, the colors, the cool features but unfortunately 2 stars performance. I did not have high hopes after setting the stroller up when I saw the main problem: 4 wheels instead of three and the types of wheels used.
If Joovy would make one simple change to their strollers, I would rate the stroller most likely a 5 star for performance and looks! It is a cool stroller to look at but NOT...I repeat NOT to push.
PROS
- Cost is reasonable
- Design (minus wheels)
- Colors)
- Features and Gadgets
- Stand or Sit Feature
- Perfect for walking around a mall (not through a store: just the mall)
Major CONS
- VERY hard to push with two kids on a sidewalk with driveways. Every driveway you come to, the stroller will not steer straight but will move to the left and want to go down the driveway to street.
- You need two hands to operate. Can't drink coffee or anything using a Joovy.
- Cannot push through a store, aisle, anything.
- Very difficult to turn with two kids no matter where you are, and I'm a tough guy writing this article, not my wife! We both agree with my conclusions! :)
- Because it is a 4-wheel stroller and long, it feels like it is going to break when I turn a corner or turn at all.
Conclusion or Suggestion
If Joovy changes to a three wheel design, the balance will be amazing and this stroller will ROCK. However, if they do change to a three wheel design, they should use rubber wheels that you inflate. Otherwise, you'll be replacing the cheap foamish plastic material that is currently on the wheels once a year on normal use.
It would take the work of a creative engineer to find a way to make a three wheel Joovy Stroller, but it is the ONLY way to compete with the BIG Dogs: Phil & Ted. I have had a Phil and Ted for 2 years and can't brag enough about it! It is expensive but worth EVERY Penny. I love the Joovy concept though...and wish I could speak highly of this stroller!
 No other double stroller can compare to this one! December 12, 2008
I absolutely love my Joovy. We've had it for 9 months now and I have almost zero complaints.
Pros
-Lightweight
-Fitted in the trunk of my Toyota Camry and now in the rear of my Toyota Sequoia even with the 3rd row in use.
-My daughter loves that she can sit or stand in the back or even hog the front seat. I am able to fit the baby carrier in the front or the back.
-Comes with the Parent Organizer.
Cons
-Now that my little one doesn't need his baby carrier anymore, my only complaint is that the 5 point harness in the front is really tight. I think it's because my child is just abnormally large, but it's not a biggie. I just use the lap belts by themselves, and it works just fine.
Also, to those who complain that there isn't any storage. Just get The Mommy Hook Stroller Hanger - Black, problem solved!
Stroller for Two December 1, 2008
I have had my Joovy Caboose Ultralight for almost a month and love it. It is light weight and easy to fold and unfold. I have a 3 year old and a newborn, this stroller fit my needs perfect because my 3 year old doesn't like to always ride in a stroller, yet she gets tired of walking. The "stand" part of the stroller is perfect for her, she can even sit down on the little bench if she wants too. The only problem I've encountered so far is that when using with an infant seat the older child does not have a lot of room to sit. However, that seems to bother me more than my 3 year old. I have a Peg Perego infant seat and it's fabulous that the Joovy Caboose compatible with that seat. I wish there was more storage, but I new before buying that storage was limited and made adjustments. I bought the J.J. Kole diaper bag system that hangs on the handle (works fabulous). I also bought the parent tray for the Joovy Caboose and that holds everything I need at arms length . . . bottled water, keys, bottle, pacifier, phone . . . I am very satisfied with the stroller and would advise anyone looking at double strollers to consider this. Especially if you have a toddler like mine who doesn't want to just sit in a stroller all the time.
Love the Joovy November 26, 2008
What an awesome package deal Amazon had. It came with two extra accessories so I didn't have to pay extra to buy them (it was a speacial seat cover and the parent organizer). The item did not say these two accessories were included so I was pleasantly surprised when I found them in the box. I love the color and functionality and my three year old loves riding on it, whether sitting or standing. And because it's the ultralight, it's manageable to steer and to put away in the car.
 Great stroller but could use some improvements. November 23, 2008
I really like this stroller however the basket could be a little larger and easier to get too. It does not have a standard cup holder but mine came with one and it would be great if it had a harder one. I understand that it needs to be soft for your little one but they could put it to the outside of the stroller towards you that way it won't get in the way of your little one standing or getting in/out of the stroller. Very light weight stroller and that's great. We recently took it on a weekend trip and I have no complaints about the weight or how it handles. As explained before it could use some improvements with other things.
