The new Caboose Graphite is a must-have for parents strolling with children of different ages because it offers double stroller features in a compact size. With a new lean profile and upgraded features, the Caboose continues to empower older siblings. Toddlers get a boost of independence and feel like big kids when they can choose to sit or stand, face forward or backward, while riding on this tandem stroller. No need to attach an extra riding board as the Caboose has a built-in stand-on platform for kids to stand and ride or they can sit on the rear bench seat (parents don’t need to lift their toddlers in or out of the stroller either). Parents expecting their second child love that they can create a travel system to carry their toddler and newborn. The Caboose Graphite comes with a universal car seat adapter that has baby facing towards you and in complete view while strolling. Having both children close can be a lifesaver to help parents keep tabs on both kids. If your children are within 2 years of each other, you may consider the optional Caboose Rear Seat, which converts the rear bench seat into a front-facing, full-size, reclining seat. This accessory is sold separately and it folds up with the stroller for convenience. It’s also easy to install or uninstall. The new Caboose Graphite includes the following upgrades from the previous version: A graphite-colored steel frame, a new 3-position front seat, a larger canopy with an extended visor, linked parking brake and 4-wheel suspension. Additionally, the Caboose comes with a tray and universal car seat adapter that fits most major brands. Each seat has a capacity of 45 lbs.
A few cons, but nearly a perfect stroller for the price. This is a great little stroller. It’s not perfect, but considering the price, I’m tempted to give it 5 stars. Please note: I bought and paid full price for this stroller–no discounts for any reviews–so these are my observations from an over-researcher who has been shopping around for strollers for a while now and finally decided to pull pull the trigger on the Joovy Caboose Graphite. (Not that free reviews are any less honest, but I may have a different perspective, since I *chose* this…
Updated – very annoyed I love this stroller. We just upgraded to the Joovy from the Baby Trend Sit’n’stand Ultra, which was fine until the “baby” grew to over about 25 lbs. Then it became very difficult to steer with the long wheel base and smallish front wheels. I was getting so frustrated. The Joovy is a dream come true! I can push and steer this stroller with one hand and BOTH children on board (28 lb 2 yr old in front seat, 32 lb 3 yr old on back board seat).
Limited mobility… My husband and I were disappointed in this stroller. The mobility and sturdiness fall short because of the wheels. I wish it was as good as we were expecting. It could be ok if you were only using it on a flat surface, but even then, turning is a bit of a challenge.
