Carmenere's cinder toffee: sweet, sticky, made-in-five-minutes toffee squares that'll spark off a few 'yums' among the 'oohs' and 'aahs' of your little fireworks-watchers.

Hi, I have a joovy caboose which I bought about 2 years ago whilst holidaying in the states. They are a great idea but I find them quite rigid to push (when 2 kids on)compared to the pushchairs we have here. However, I can't fault it when you on your own as I know exactly where my 2 are. Apart from being a little heavy, (but I guess with 2 kids any pushchair would be), and the fact the front seat doesn't recline loads, I'm pleased with my purchase. I do need to prop up my sons head when he falls asleep though. Despite my recommendations, I'm considering selling mine to opt for a double phil and ted. Not because it's heavy as my other pushchair is a Mutsy, but I recently had my gaul bladder out and for some reason it hurts me to push it. So if your small like me and have stomach issues, it may not be the pushchair for you.

HI, i've got the ultra light joovy caboose in sage, i'm only 5 foot and don't like pushing it,( i can just a bit heavy with kid on back ) but my other half is 6 foot and loves it, so if you are tall then you will like it, short like me and its a bit difficult to handle up kerbs and round corners simply because the handle is quite high and upright, on a possitive note the kids love it, the hood covers both kids and it is better than a buggy board, i still have it and will prob keep it in the car for when out and about with the whole family, and you can get 3 small kids on it two sitting 1 standing. just remember if kid on back is not strapped in, when you go up a kerb remember to say hang on or they fall out onto your legs ( yes i have done this and they now hang on ) :0

I know you can only buy these in the states (with the odd one turning up on ebay here) but I was wondering if anyone had one and what's it like??
I can't get on with a buggy board - it makes me walk in an awkward position so was thinking they looked quite cool...

So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
