We love this stroller!

Yesterday we used our new stroller for the first time and it is fantastic! It's called the Joovy Caboose Stand-on Tandem. We had thought about getting a more traditional double stroller but realized that Ellie will not be interested in riding in a stroller for much longer. This stroller is intended for parents in our situation - two kids, one a baby and the other a toddler. The front seat is a traditional stroller seat and also can hold an infant car seat. We call the back seat "Ellie's jump seat". It can be used as a rear facing bench seat or a front facing standing platform. Ellie loves it and she really loves that she can see (and reach) Audrey. She also loves the organizer that's attached to the handle - it's intended for the parent to use, but yesterday it held her sippy cup and snack bag, which she thought was cool. When we got to the portrait studio yesterday, she didn't want to get out!


We would definitely recommend it for anyone with two kids! It's easy to use and comes with a detailed instructions manual that is much clearer than the one that came with Ellie's stroller. The only drawback is that it's pretty heavy (their website says 26 pounds and I'd believe it) and definitely requires two hands to lift and open/close. For more information, check out their website.

Wow! I am so thrilled that Ellie likes her new place in the stroller world. I was worried that she would feel displaced, but that's our Ellie. She put a good spin on the new situation. Enjoy your newest vehicle!

What a great idea...That seems more pratical than the traditional double stroller!!!

How funny is this...We just bought the same stroller (and color) two weeks ago and also LOVE it. Will thinks he is hot stuff and Sophia loves her new view in the front! Can't wait to go out in matching rides next week!

I finally figured out how to leave a comment! I figured that if Mimi can do it, Aunt TT can do it too. Love the stroller. You are going to have killer biceps from all that heavy lifting!
