Joovy Caboose Stand On Tandem Stroller

Double jogging strollers are perfect fits for parents who have children that are in the same age range. They would benefit in being able to put both their children in a single carriage. However, this becomes a problem if the children have a longer gap between them.

To solve this, stroller manufacturers have created the Joovy Caboose Stand On Tandem Stroller. The Tandem Stroller allows an older child to stand on its rear platform while the younger kid can sit comfortably in the front seat.

It also allows the older kid to sit down on the padded rear seat if they feel tired.

This kind of set up makes it ideal for parents who have their kids spaced a bit farther than what can fit in the common double jogging strollers.

Other features of the Joovy Caboose Stand On Tandem Stroller include:

  • Patented stand on tandem design
  • Compact size for easier handling
  • Includes a universal infant car seat attachment
  • Large storage basket
  • Child tray with 2-cup holders
  • Easy trigger fold design

What I like about this product:

  • Caters to my needs

I think that the best thing about the Joovy Caboose Stand On Tandem Stroller is that it is able to cater to my need. After all, not all parents have children who are within the age range that would fit double strollers.

For example, having a 3 year old baby and then a 5 month old child would make it difficult for you to sit them both on a usual double jogging stroller. The Joovy Caboose Stand On Tandem Stroller solves that by allowing the older kid to be on the rear platform area.

  • Compact Size

The problem with other Tandem strollers is that they tend to have a long footprint. By footprint, I mean that the way they make the rear and front seat fit is by making the whole thing quite elongated.

This becomes a problem for parents, as they find controlling such a long stroller quite difficult.

Fortunately, the Joovy Caboose Stand On Tandem Stroller is smaller or a bit shorter than the usual strollers, without having to sacrifice the children’s comfort.

This shorter and more compact design makes it easy to handle and maneuver even in tight spaces.

  • Easy Fold Design

The Joovy Caboose Stand On Tandem Stroller is actually relatively light compared to other strollers. It also features a good easy fold design when trying to set it up for storage.

These two combine for easy packing and storing for travel, or for just giving me extra storage space when we are not using the stroller.

Things that could be improved on:

  • Square Tubing

While they are supposedly stronger than the usual round tubes that other strollers pack, I still am not a big fan of the square tubing that the Joovy Caboose Stand On Tandem Stroller uses.

This is because not all accessories are able to fit into such a shape. I would hope that there are some areas that would have had the more traditional round tubing so that I could use some of my older stroller accessories.

Bottom Line:

I really think that tandem strollers are great for parents who have children that are more than a couple of years apart.

And when it comes to tandem strollers, the Joovy Caboose Stand On Tandem Stroller is an excellent choice to fulfill such needs.
