The best, lightest, most maneuverable Caboose yet! The Caboose Ultralight Stroller is so compact, maneuverable and lightweight you might forget that it's a tendem stroller. At a mere 21 pounds the Caboose Ultralight is 20% lighter than the original model and far lighter than most double strollers. The Ultralight is also ultra-maneuverable because it has sealed ball bearing wheels to make it faster and smoother! Moms and Dads will really love the neoprene Cool Essential Parent Organizer, too. It has plenty of room to store your keys, cell phone, etc. and the cup holder will keep your drink cool. The deluxe sun canopy also offers more protection for your children on sunny days out.

Love the Joovy
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.
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.

Very pleased, but there's no such thing as perfect
Pros:
lightweight
smooth roll
accommodates 3 year old and newborn (using Graco snug-ride infant seat)
canopy protects both kids from bright sun
parent organizer- drinks don't topple over, zippered pocket for cell phone, miscellany
easy assembly, including carseat adapter
bench seat slides to access basket
Cons:
Small basket, holds a purse or SMALL diaper bag, but not your shopping bags at the mall
bench seat does not lock into place (minor detail, doesn't affect usability)
Requires two hands to fold and unfold... slightly awkward
We test drove multiple double strollers, and finally settled on the Joovy. I literally stopped Moms and Dads at the zoo and other places to ask how they liked their double strollers, and the Joovy received consistent praises.
No double stroller is going to be perfect, and as a parent you have to decide what features matter most to you. If the big storage basket and multiple cup holders are what you need most, this is not the stroller for you. (Though the 2 cup holders in the parent organizer are good, the snack tray's cup holder does not seem stable). If you are looking for maneuverability and something that will work as your kids get older and outgrow huge diaper bags, but still occasionally need to rest from walking, this stroller is practically perfect.
My 33 lb, 38 inch tall 3 year old loves the big kid seat. She also still fits in the front seat when the baby is not with us. The baby doesn't really have an opinion, but he does fall asleep on strolls, and between the canopy on his infant carrier and the canopy on the stroller, his eyes are protected from the sun.
It fits fine in the back of our Toyota Highlander.
I am pleased with our choice overall.

Freedom on wheels
I am thrilled with this stroller. So long, monster graco double that requires muscles I never knew I had to turn. My six month old, who doesn't sit up yet very well, sat right up in the front seat and happily hit the tray. He loves it! It is incredibly easy to put together (snap the wheels on basically) and lift. The best part though, is the movement. It turns so well and feels like it glides when I push it.
I was slightly concerned that my 26 month old wouldn't be into the back seat, but she seems to love it! She gets to be in charge of the cup holder for her cup and my water bottle, which face her when she is sitting. She won't stand up.. yet.. but when she does there is a net pocket behind the seat that she can use. I was also wondering if the storage basket would be useless if the toddler is sitting on top of it - I found out that it is a net so I can reach in through the side if need be. Yay Joovy!
I also wondered about if the handle would be tall enough. I am 5'10 and am really uncomfortable with most umbrella-type strollers both because I kick them when I'm trying to push and it hurts my back to have to bend to grab them. No worries with this one, it is certainly tall enough (compare the height in the specs to your other strollers if you are concerened) and I haven't kicked. I will add an image of my husband, 6'1 with the stroller because I would have found that useful.
I never got to test out a Joovy Caboose non-ultralight so I can't speak to that issue. Once I knew I was going to buy the parent organizer, which comes with the ultralight (don't buy it separate!), I just went for it and assumed I would appreciate the other product upgrades.

love this stroller
Looking for a stroller for my three year old and new baby, I chose this one. It is perfect. I wanted something that would help wean my toddler's dependency on being pushed around while giving him the opportunity to have a break from walking. It has a smooth ride and is really sturdy. I haven't figured out how to use the stand part but I don't think that it's important. It is definitely big when folded but it is fairly light. Great stroller for what it is.

Great stroller
Stroller has been very effective. The only issue I have is that my older child constantly steps on the brakes when she gets on the "jump seat". The "jump seat" also slides back and forth especially when you don't want it to, I wish it locked into place. Otherwise a great stroller for the money and I like that I can navigate shopping isles with it and pop it in and out of my trunk with relative ease.

Awesome ride!!
I have newborn, 2 and 4 year old children, and while the 4 year old no longer needs a stroller, the 2 year old definitely needs containing!!/ This stroller works well for my 2 smaller children; the infant seat fits in the front, and the 2 year old can easily seat himself or stand. the only drawback is the storage area.. it is impossible to reach when my toddler is seated! a small price to pay for such a well made and easy to use stroller!

Worth writing a review
As a working mom of a 28 month old and 5 month old, I had the internal "do we need a double stroller" debate for several months but all of my friends gave ho-hum reviews to their double strollers until I ran into a friend at the zoo last weekend and she had the joovy caboose. She RAVED about it, I had stroller envy, and my hubby and I decided to get it. I couldn't wait to get it out of the box and put it together (which I did on my own in about 15 minutes...with no tools needed!). It is everything I hoped it would be and I'm not sure what measurements I messed up (thought that it would only fit in our truck) but I was pleasantly surprised that it fits in an older model BMW 3 series. Worth every penny for the first stroller we ever bought (gotta love hand me downs)!!!!!! By the way, it now comes with the parent organizer so don't buy that separately.

Great double stroller
I highly recommend this stroller. The only thing that I do not like is that it takes a lot of room in your car. My car is a Honda CRV so it does not have a large trunk. I have a 2 1/2 year old and an infant so I use this stroller on a daily basis. It is a good looking stroller as well. Compared to many other double strollers, this is by far better then most.

Groovy Joovy?
We purchased this item on a "gold box" sale and got a very good price through Amazon! While I was concerned that it might not fit our Graco Snugride baby carrier due to earlier reviews (whew - it does!), I guess I should have also been concerned about the lack of room for my toddler who rides along on the back. When the baby carrier is affixed to the front, my poor toddler literally has to bend forward in order to sit down on the back! I can't wait until they are both able to face forward so my toddler isn't robbed of precious room! Other than that, I think my 2 year old is a little young to grasp the stand / sit concept...
