Experience w/the Joovy Ergo Caboose Stroller?

TxMommaT

I've been eyeing double strollers and am *almost* set on this one... the Joovy Ergo Caboose Stand-On Tandem Stroller. It's the ONLY sit and stand type of stroller that puts the infant carrier in the back so DS can sit in front and still see and I have easy access to DC#2.... And when DC#2 is big enough to sit in the front, DS will be big enough to use the sit'n'stand in the back! And the car seat adapter is included, so overall it's a lot more cost effective than the Baby Jogger City Mini too. What is your experience with it??

I tried it out at Buy Buy Baby. It had a really nice smooth ride, although it was really hard to get the front wheels going in the right direction if they were misaligned. It was noticeably longer (by almost a foot) than the other Caboose models to accommodate the carseat in back, probably about the same as other front-and-back doubles. It seemed nice and solid and well-built. A bit on the heavy side but aren't they all.

Honestly I was hoping to be thrilled with it because it seemed like a perfect option. But it was pretty much a front-and-back without a real second seat... so everything I generally like about the sit n' stand idea (more compact, lighter, cheaper) doesn't really apply to this stroller. And the wheels were seriously annoying.   Check out the Amazon reviews... they are all over the map.

My first two are 21 months apart and we got this stroller. It is super heavy, but what double isn't?  I do really like it although I have a double jogger as well (bought for $40 ata garage sale) that I prefer to use for taking walks around town.
