Joovy Caboose Stand On Tandem Stroller Appletree
The Caboose Stand-On Tandem makes strolling two children a breeze! Hop on Board! Strolling around has never been easier with two children. The versatile Caboose Stand-On Tandem allows an older child to stand on its patented rear platform while a younger child rides comfortably in front. If the standing child tires, they can turn around and rest on the padded rear seat. Fully equipped with a universal car seat attachment system, the Caboose can accommodate an infant in the car seat so you can use it as soon as your new arrival comes. Parents love the Caboose because it is lightweight and folds up compactly. It also has a large basket and storage pockets for everything you’ll need to take along with you. And the rear platform means no more lifting a heavier older child in and out of the stroller when they want to see or get tired! Features: Universal car seat attachment works with most infant seats (see chart below) Comfortable two-position front seat Accommodates children from 6 months to 45 lbs. Deluxe rip stop nylon fabric Deluxe harnesses includes reflective stitching for night time safety Adjustable padded rear seat allows standing child to take a rest Removable canopy with ratcheting adjustment Child tray with cup holder Foam covered handles for both parent and rear standing child Large storage basket under seat Stroller weighs 26 lbs Specifications: See image below Gift Wrap not available.

User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars does the trick
I shuttered when my wife said she needed another stroller for our two girls (3 & 1). I can’t even park my car in the garage because we have too many strollers. This one has been great. When we’re out and about, it works great for the 1 year old and she’s easy to get in and out. The 3 year old loves being able to hop in and out on her own. I highly recommend for a family who is getting out to zoo and places like that. It’s tires are not great for anything off road, so consider that if you were hoping to to take it to a place like that.
5 Stars AWESOME!!!!!
This is a great stroller!! I use this stroller all the time. Easy to use. Perfect for my 1yr old and my 3 1/2yr old to share. Great for trips to the mall, long walks, festivals, etc.. I am selling my old heavy double stroller b/c this one is so great! Get the parent organizer, it’s worth it’s weight in gold!
2 Stars Not what I was expecting
I have two boys ages 4 and 2.5 years. I purchased the Joovy Tandem in hopes both boys would be comfortably transported. The stroller is heavier than I expected- mainly because it is very sturdy, very solid. The footrest for the forward riding child is much too short for my 2.5 year olds legs. His feet hang over and get caught on the wheels. I tried placing the footrest in the up position, but it is easily moved back down- by my toddler! He figured out how to move the footrest the first time he rode in this stroller. This was not what I was expecting. It also takes up a tremendous amount of space in the back of our vehicle (a mid-size SUV). I had to remove the canopy to get it to fit in the cargo area.
2 Stars it’s ok
this item is ok, i was so excited after purchasing it, then when i received it i thought it was way too heavy, the description is that it’s light but in fact it is the opposite. it’s very heavy and takes up a lot of room. i read that it was convenient and light and fits very well, but in truth it doesn’t. it takes up too much room and is too heavy to tag around. it’s comfortable for my daughter and son but not what i expected.
4 Stars So happy I bought it!
So far, I am happy we bought this stroller! We’ve only had it about a month now. I had a double tantem stroller before that I really liked, but it just didn’t fit our needs anymore. My husband was not happy to see yet another stroller come into our small house, but I sold our double and he has come around to really liking this one! It seems so much smaller than that double and even more compact than other sit and stands I have seen. AND even though it is smaller all three of my girls can fit on this stroller, the main reason I bought it!
I bought this stroller is for a trip we are taking the end of Oct 2009. We are going to Disney with three girls, ages 5, 3, and 1yr. All three of them are small for their age, and they all three fit in this stroller at once. My 1yr old sits. The 5 and 3 yr olds either both sit on little bench seat or one stands and one sits. So far, my two older girls love being able to sit and ride when they need a rest, but get out and go when there is something to do or see. They used to fight over who got to sit in the second seat of double stroller (the youngest always had one of the seats)! I also like having them all three on the stroller, I know where they are and when necessary, I can walk at my pace, not my childs.
Some features to know about this stroller is the basket underneath seems small, at least from what I’ve been used to. The double stroller I had, had a huge basket and my single stroller that fits my infant carrier has a big basket. Another slight negative is you need both hands to fold up. Again, both my other strollers could be folded using only one hand. Also, it seems heavier than my other stollers, but on the flip side seems to have a very sturdy frame. I haven’t had the need to have a child sleep in this stroller yet, so not sure about how much room will be left when the seat is reclined or how much it reclines; maybe enough to have another child stand, but I can’t imagine sit. I also have not used the infant carrier adapter, so cannot comment on that.
I did purchase the Joovy parent organizer thing. Fits nicely and works great for me. It has two places for water bottles/sippy cups, a zippered pouch, and two other pockets. The stroller does have some net pockets on back of seat, but I did not find them convient to hold my things as it makes my things (like car keys) within reach of children to take out and play with (and loose!)
Overall I think this is a better alternative to a double stroller.
