As a mom of three and having owned a wide variety of strollers over the years I love the way this stroller looks and rolls out of the box.To me, this is such a lightweight, easy to fold, unfold and load into the trunk item.It rolls so smoothly and turns on a dime.The parent holder looks so cool and CAN be WASHED!!My three year old son fit well on the back seat and the smile he had on his face when I pointed out the handles so he could stand securely on the back told me he'll actually stay on this in the mall.My six year old, 43 pound daughter rode on the back with no weight in the front seat and the stroller felt sturdy and not at all like tipping back.Out of the box this beats any of the Peg Perego or Graco strollers we've owned in the past.I'll update this review after I've used it with the new baby on the front and put some miles on this wonderful stroller!
12/20/2008After using this stroller for over a year and a half I still love it.My now just turned five year old loves to sit or stand on the back and I almost never have to fight to get him to stay on it.Practically, my older child has to sit a little hunched forward when the baby's sleeping and it's reclined all of the way back, but he can stand with no problem.Also, it's a little hard to get my diaper bag in the attached storage area, but that's just me being picky.The parent storage is wonderful and I'm so glad I have the zippered area for keys and can put my phone and drink and other stuff safely tucked away.Airline boarding passes fit perfectly!1 1/2 years later it still pushes effortlessly and is perfect rounding clothes racks a the mall and navigating at restaurants. I love my stroller and still recommend it to people that ask about it.

Joovy Caboose Ultralight Stand On Tandem StrollerProduct Description: Getting around with your young family can be a challenge, but with the Joovy Caboose ultra-light Stand-on Tandem Stroller, travel is made much easier. Designed for use with an older toddler and an infant, this tandem stroller is a compact, lightweight, easy-to-use alternative to bulkier, heavier double strollers. It features a front-facing baby seat, which can also accommodate many infant car seats, and a standing platform and seat for toddlers over the age of 2-1/2 years. Both seat can accommodate children up to 45 pounds in weight, up to 40 inches tall.
The Joovy Caboose Ultralight Stroller offers:
- Compact, lightweight profile for easy maneuvering.
- Standing platform and seat for older children.
- Front seat that is compatible with many infant car seats.
Adjustable padded rear seat allows a standing child to take a rest. (Shown here in sage.)
Universal Car Seat Adapter fits most major brands (shown in sage). View larger.
Streamlined Efficiency and Convenience Double strollers can be bulky and difficult to maneuver, with side x side seats creating an extra-wide profile, or other tandems being too deep to maneuver easily. The Joovy Caboose ultra-light, however, is designed for streamlined ease. Weighing in at just 21 pounds and sporting a neat, compact profile, the Joovy Caboose ultra-light Stand-on Tandem Stroller is a breeze to get around. It measures 41.5 x 21.5 x 38 inches (HxWxD). Sealed ball-bearing wheels contribute to a smoother ride as well, and a foam-padded handle offers additional comfort.
A roomy under-seat basket provides room for your traveling essentials, and the nifty neoprene "Cool Essentials Parent Organizer," which includes a cup holder, keeps keys, your cell phone, and a drink close at hand.
A Fun, Comfortable Ride The stroller is compatible with many infant car seats (see list below), offering easy "snap and go" convenience for traveling with a young infant. Once your baby is old enough to sit up independently, she can sit facing forward, secured safely with a five-point harness. Snacks and a drink are close at hand thanks to the removable child tray, and a wide sun shade keeps her safe from the elements.
Whether you're browsing at the mall or trekking through the zoo, your older child will love the versatility that the Joovy Caboose ultra-light provides. When she gets tired of walking, she can simply hop onto the standing platform. Comfortably padded handles are available for her to hold. Or she can take a rest on the adjustable, padded seat, which is also equipped with a three-point harness.
Compatible Car Seats The Joovy Caboose ultra-light Tandem Stroller can be used with the following infant car seat models: The Graco Snug Ride Series and Safe Seat; the Peg Perego Primo Viaggio and Primo Viaggio SIP; the Evenflo Embrace; the Compass Light & Portable Infant Car Seat; the Britax Companion; the Safety 1st Designer 22; the Eddie Bauer Infant Car Seat (models 22-625 and 22-626); the Baby Trend Latch-Loc & Flex-Loc; the Chicco Key Fit Car Seat; the Combi Centre Series and Combi Connection; and the Maxi-Cosi Mico.

I wanted to share my experience to help others decide if they should try a smaller breast shield. I have very prominent nipples/areolae (i.e. my areola is not flat on the breast but protrudes along with the nipple). Despite reading all the websites out there on proper fit, I had a hard time trying to figure out which part of my nipple/areolae was supposed to be in the tunnel. I experienced a lot of pain and bruising with the standard 24mm shields. Two different lactation consultants told me to go up to 30mm. The 30mm incorporated my entire nipple/areola and was even getting some regular breast tissue while pumping. Although the 30mm didn't hurt as much, it definitely was not comfortable--the discomfort was to the point where I worried that I was damaging my areola tissue because it was swelling so much afterwards. I also wasn't getting as much milk as I did with the 24mm. After looking at a lot of pictures of normal breast anatomy, I figured out that my nipple was not the whole protruding pigmented part of my breast, but just the tip (before it widens out into areola). I decided to go ahead and order these and I am so glad I did. Pumping doesn't hurt at all anymore--it is much more comfortable, almost to the point where I don't really notice it (compared to the other sizes, where I felt every single suction). My nipple fits into the tunnel without touching the sides and only a little bit of the areola goes in while pumping. If you are still not sure whether to get these, just remember that you know your body best and lactation consultants can sometimes be wrong.
