stroller question (joovy caboose, specifically)

happ17

what's the difference between:

Joovy Caboose Ultralight Tandem Stroller

and the Joovy Caboose Stroller?

 

it seems like DC1 can sit in one whereas he'd stand on the other? Is one better than the other?

I'm guessing one is the ultralight version and one is the regular weight version.

One is 21lbs the other is 29.  That's the only difference I can see.  So maybe ultralight just means not as heavy???

I can't speak to the regular, but I have the Ultralight and LOOOOOVE it.  I think we when got it (a year and a half ago) the Ultralight came with the organizer and the regular didn't, but that may have changed.

Like I said, I haven't tried the regular one, but I have no problem getting ours in adn out of our van alone.  BY FAR the best thing we bought when we had DS2.  DS1 can sit or stand, and he loves it.  

I would def rec it!!

I think mich is referring to the Baby Trend one.  I have to be honest I was really unimpressed with it.  It's crazy long and cumbersome.  Plus the front seat doesn't really recline at all.  You can get the Joovy one off Amazon with free shipping and returns for the same price.

I always feel bad raining on Joovy ultralight parades, but I have to agree - I found it very long, cumbersome, and difficult to steer on anything but smooth ground (malls).  I bought it for when DS#2 was an infant, and while you can put the infant carrier on it, you have to recline the seat fully in order to secure it safely, and then there's no room for the second child to sit down (b/c the recline is all the way into the other seating area).

Also, DS#1 was 3 yrs old when we got it, and he quickly figured out that the brakes were in easy reach of his feet - which meant he often set the brakes mid-stroll.  Totally annoying...

Reminds me, need to get ours on craigslist... it's practically new!
