Description
If you have a baby and a toddler, this stand-on tandem stroller could be a lifesaver. Joovy’s Ultralight Caboose provides a lightweight (the lightest on the market), compact ride. It may seem like just a few pounds here or there wouldn’t be a big deal, but when you’re pushing a loaded stroller up a hill or over a long distance, the extra weight (or lack thereof) really makes a difference.
Using the Ultralight Caboose, your younger child rides in the front seat (sitting facing forward or using the included infant car seat adapter; see below for compatible car seats), while your older child rides in the back, sitting facing backward or standing (a thrill of freedom). The rear bench slides back to create a seat, or forward to access the stand-on board. In the seated position, there’s a three-point harness to secure big sister or brother (note: it’s harder to contain super wiggly and willful little ones with this system). Unlike stroller board attachments, the integrated standing platform is extremely stable, and it leaves plenty of room for the person doing the pushing. Your child can hold on to padded bars at the side, and as they get taller, they’ll be able to lean back against the handlebar and organizer for added stability.
The Ultralight Caboose is rides smoothly and is easy to maneuver thanks to sealed-bearing wheels, four-wheel suspension and one-step linked brakes. It can navigate over varied terrain, and its compact size will get you through tight grocery store aisles, doorways and crowded areas.
The Joovy folds up much smaller than most double strollers, so you can stash it in the trunk, take it on the bus or get it through the X-ray machine at the airport (just take off the canopy and the car seat adapter). The squared-off canopy is quite tall and roomy and tilts forward or backward, with a rear extension that provides some coverage for the back seat. A neoprene organizer on the handle bar has two beverage holders and a zippered pocket, and there’s a very roomy cargo basket below. The stroller also comes with a child tray and a universal car seat adapter.
Parents love the Ultralight Caboose for everyday urban outings, shopping, travel and trips to the zoo or aquarium. With so many pros to this stroller, what are the cons? The child on the back can’t fall asleep easily on the stroller, for starters. Some kids love the thrill of the standing ride, while others will want the comfort of a standard stroller seat after a while. Also, with a rider in the back seat, you can’t easily access the storage basket. Finally, the front seat reclines, but at full recline or with the infant seat attached, the child in the rear won’t have much room.
Note that Joovy does sell an Ultralight Caboose rear seat attachment for children less than two and a half years old or who aren’t yet ready to stand. This adds a full-size, front-facing, reclining seat to the stroller.

Q&A
It depends on the airport. Most will allow you to gate-check this stroller, but it'll still be best to check with the airports that you're arriving to and departing from.
Customer reviews
The stroller is obviously longer than an average single stroller, but it's still very maneuverable and the narrow width allows easy navigation through crowded and tight areas.
