Product Description

The best, lightest, most maneuverable Caboose yet! The Caboose Ultralight Stroller is so compact, maneuverable and lightweight you might forget that it's a tendem stroller.

At a mere 21 pounds the Caboose Ultralight is 20% lighter than the original model and far lighter than most double strollers. The Ultralight is also ultra-maneuverable because it has sealed ball bearing wheels to make it faster and smoother!

Customer Reviews

First impression is great! 1 1/2 years later, it's still the best!
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!

12/20/2008 After 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.

We tried them all--this is the one!
My children are 2 1/2 years apart, so we assumed that our older daughter would walk once our younger one was born, and the baby would ride in our stroller. After an entire summer of carrying the baby and letting my oldest sit in the stroller when she tired of walking, I decided to give my back a break this year and invest in a double stroller. With my now four-year-old, a side-by-side wasn't a good option, because she's big and also likes to hop in and out often. We bought the Sit-N-Stand because they sold it locally at Target, but I had to return it because it was like pushing a train. I'm not a big person, and a 30 pound, long, clunky stroller plus sixty pounds of kids was just too much for me. I returned it. I had tried a friend's Joovy, but now I knew that lighter weight and easier steering were critical when you're pushing two kids. The Caboose Ultralight fits the bill. It turns easily and tightly, and the distance between the front and back wheels is shorter than on the Sit-N-Stand, so it doesn't feel like a train. It's also ten pounds lighter (whew!). Both my kids like it just fine, and the sun canopy actually covers them both (others didn't).

If you're looking for a tandem but worried about paying the extra hundred bucks over the Sit-N-Stand (or even the extra $70 over the regular Joovy), I would say it's worth it. Sure, it looks similar to the other two, but it is just so much easier to use. Plus--let's face it--the design and color are just so much cooler than the Sit-N-Stand. Go for it. I was glad I did.

First impressions great here too
I've been using this stroller for about a week now with a 1 yr old and a 4 yr old. It is VERY lightweight, I compared it in the store with the regular model and to me it is definitely worth spending the extra on the Ultralight model. It is very sturdy too and the ball bearing wheels make it so smooth to push. The sun shade covers both the front and back passenger really well. It was simple to put together out of the box, simply snap on the wheels and tray and you're off. I was carrying around an Evenflo Take Me Too double stroller and a Maclaren Quest before this and this one stroller now replaces them both. I gave it 4 out of 5 stars because it is still a little big, i guess it has to be to carry two kids. It folds up very flat but is still rather long - lying down it takes the width of my trunk in my minivan. Nice thing about it being so flat is that I can stand it up in the trunk though which takes up a lot less room. I definitely recommend it.
