Joovy Big Caboose: The Ultimate Stroller for Big Families

The Joovy stand on stroller is very lightweight at just a little over 35 pounds. However, despite its weight, it is able to handle 125 pounds. That is a combined weight for all children aboard the stroller. The weight for each child should need to exceed 45 pounds even for the rear seat designed for your oldest child. That should be more than enough to support the weight of your three little ones.

For the front and middle seats, the age minimum is 6 months of age and up. Unless you choose to use your own car seats with the seat adapters. Then you can use the stroller for newborns. For the middle and front seat, the weight of each child should not exceed 40 pounds. For the child riding the bench seat, their weight should be under 45 pounds and not taller than 44 inches. The manufacturer does not recommend exceeding 125 pounds because it will cause damage to the stroller frame. However, on top of that, It can also make the stroller too difficult to push or maneuver for parents or adults.

The Joovy Big Caboose is very light weight. Alone it only weighs 34.2 pounds so it will be quite easy to lift and load when it is folded up. When it is collapsed and folded up it is 54 inches long still so parents with small cars need to take that into account when purchasing the stroller. The dimensions of the folded stroller without the canopy are 14″H x 21.5″W x 54″. So it is quite narrow but to reiterate it is long to store in a small vehicle. It is designed to easily collapse to make transport as easy as possible. When expanded the stroller is 44.25″H x 21.5″W x 55″L. This is quite compact given the amount that it is able to hold. It can support 3 children, up to 40 pounds in the front two seats and up to 45 pounds and 44” in the bench seat. It can also support your own car seats if you wish to use the universal adapters. There is also generous basket space under the seats. Even with all of that, it is still quite narrow to fit through tight spaces like shopping aisles and doorways. It is designed with a suspension system to assist in the maneuvering of the stroller and to make pushing it as easy as possible.

The Joovy Big Caboose is a rare find for parents with three small babies. The Big Caboose has two regular car seats in the front and middle. Each seat has a child tray, a canopy that can be removed, plenty of legroom and also car seat adapters so you can use your own car seats instead. If using your own seats however, the child trays will no longer fit. The front and middle seats can support children up to 40 pounds. The front and middle seats are equipped with a two position reclining option and adjustable footrests. The stroller is also designed with a rear platform bench. It is very versatile. Your oldest child can choose to face away from you and stand on the platform as you push the stroller or they can choose to sit on the bench and face towards you. They can also opt to walk in tune with the stroller if they wish. It is very simple to get on and off of the platform or bench themselves so that you don’t need to keep lifting your heavier oldest child. A large rear canopy is available for the rear seat so that the older kid sitting or standing there has coverage from the sun. Additionally If you have three children of the same age, there is an attachment you can purchase to turn the bench into a regular car seat for a small baby. Each seat has a 5-point harness.

The stroller supports a combined weight of up to one hundred twenty five pounds so it can be a little difficult to push or maneuver.

It also has a suspension system so the ride is as smooth as possible. The stroller’s dimensions when fully open is 14H x 21.5W x 63L so it is actually quite narrow to fit through tight spaces and doorways. When folded it is 14″H x 21.5″W x 54″ so it gets quite flat but it still remains a bit long if parents have a smaller car. It is quite compact at only about 34 pounds so it is not difficult to load and unload.

The stroller is also designed with handy storage baskets underneath the seats to provide ample room for everything you may need for yourself or you children, freeing up your hands and unburdening your shoulders from heavy bags while you push the stroller.

These two seats are designed for your youngest children and since they can accomodate children up to 40 pounds you can have the seat for a good number of years. An added benefit to these two seats is that the two children in them are not able to touch or see each other as well. This can really be a bonus for parents with kids who have developmental delays or just for kids who tend to play rough and hit each other.

The rear seat can be a platform for your oldest child to stand on or they can sit if they wish. It really encourages your oldest kid to sit, stand, or walk alongside your stroller as you push the other two smaller babies. They can get in and out of the seat themselves easily without you having to go through lifting up your heaviest, oldest child. This seat can also be transformed to a full sized car seat should you need three car seats for three small babies as in the case of triplets. This attachment however is not included. It is an optional add on.
