Jovvy Big Caboose, August 10, 2009

I have 2 kiddos and a 3rd due any day. My older 2 are 31 mo old son and 14 mo old daughter. The stroller accommodates the kids good. The few complaints I have are the seats are short (OK for my 1 yr old but she is petite but my 2 yr olds head comes way above the seat so if we were gone all day he cant even sit in the back and go to sleep. Also it is hard to push as I think the handles are awkward. I also do not car for the fact the only accessory is the parent tray, no rain cover or bug netting cover avail separate. When u turn a corner the wheel sometimes com up so make sure u have a hold of it, I have tried my little on in the back and front and still have this issue. On the upside it does accommodate all 3 kids and seems to be sturdy (minus the back foot rest falls off a lot but just snaps back in). The shade covers are large and even cover the kiddo on the jump seat if they are sitting. It is easy to fold and unfold and cleans off easily. I dont quite no if its worth the money but I have yet to find another stroller that accommodates the needs of 3 kiddos 1 being a toddler :) (I have tried the tri mode that accommodates 3 but it is just to wide and heavy also).

Awesome stroller, May 1, 2009

This is by far the best triple I have owned. This was for my 3,2 and an infant. My only complant was the kids arguing over who was going to sit where. The infant sat in front. We have a honda odyssey and it fit fine in the back. A triple jogging would have not. I like to go out and about a bunch so this was really needed. It has great storage in is easy to push assuming you remeber you are pushing a 100 pounds or so. This has made my life so much easier!

Really hard to turn!, March 23, 2009

I have a 3 year old son and 14 month twin girls. This is the only stroller that I could find to meet my needs when I first had the twins. I couldn't use it the first 4 months because the girls couldn't sit up yet. Then, it served my needs fairly well for about 6 months. Now that the girls weigh 25 pounds each and my son is about 29 pounds, I can hardly push the thing. I actually don't take my kids places, because I dread pushing this stroller. I have to put my whole weight into it to make a turn. Now, I'm shopping for a double side-by-side for the girls and will use a harness for my son, who will have to walk...

Warning: Safety Hazard, March 3, 2009

WARNING: SAFETY HAZARD First winter for an 8-month-old stroller This is the first winter that I used the Joovy stroller. Many of the plastic parts became brittle, cracked and broke while using the stroller in the cold weather (20 - 30 degrees F.). Because some of the plastic parts broke during the first winter, I feel that the stroller is unsafe. I am unwilling to continue to use this stroller while wondering which plastic part will break next. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THE JOOVY STROLLER. If you plan to use the Joovy stroller during the winter months, you may wish to consider alternative choices. Joovy does not stand behind their product. While they will replace broken parts, Joovy will not give the customer a stroller replacement or refund

1. EliteCarSeats.com

In this retail site's in-depth editorial review, the editors praise the "thought and consideration" that went into the standing platform of the Joovy, though they note that there is no way to prevent a toddler from jumping off mid-ride. Parents posting follow-up comments mostly like this stroller, but one complains about a too-small seat.

3. Amazon.com

About 200 parents posting give the Joovy Caboose Stand-On Tandem a high composite rating. We read a few complaints about its bulk, and one parent says that with the front seat in full recline to accommodate an infant car seat, it is difficult for a toddler to use the rear seat.

4. BabyGizmo.com

Baby Gizmo also has a written editorial review of the Joovy Caboose, but the video review is especially useful for demonstrating the seating configuration of this unusual double stroller. Hollie Schultz is upbeat and positive about all the strollers she reviews, but she also doesn't shy from pointing out their shortcomings.
