Joovy lightweight Caboose?

[NotYoMomma]

Does anyone have any experience with this?

going to have a newborn and a toddler (20 months) and am thinking of getting this as a second pushchair

going to keep my icandy strawberry for single use as you cant put a buggy board on it.

Just love how flexible it looks for dd to be standing or sitting and not kicking a buggy board!

Any advice appreciated as I kniw they are relitively New to the UK market

I don't think they're ideal for a newborn, only the car seat option, no lie flat seat.

A couple of people on here have had them I think though so will be able to give you a better idea.

If you only do short journeys maybe it would be okay, ie you never need to be out when your toddler needs to sleep and the newborn is only in the car seats for very short periods as is recommended.

I know people can and do use buggyboard for young toddlers, if you can tailor your lifestyle to that then in some ways maybe it's easier. With your age gap if it was me I would get a double with two full seats. But that's from the perspective of someone who walks everywhere, shopping on foot, 3 school runs a day etc. In a different situation I might think differently.

The Joovy Ultralight Caboose is fab for an older child and an older baby. However I would seriously wait another 9-12 months and get one then. I loved mine and it was MUCH better than a buggy board. However I think 20 months is too young for the child at the back, unless you get the rear seat fabric, and I dont like a LO in a car seat for long periods of time. I would consider it as an option for later on.

My initial plan is to use the strawberry for dd or New baby for first 6 months and sling the other.

Then dd will be 26 months and be much more able to stand/ sit

SHe is very very active already so im really torn over what to do.

problem is I dont know anywhere where you can see or try one beforehand in the UK atm

I think thats more realistic TBH. Just watch though because the hood is a through hood which is great in the summer, but will not be cosy in winter: the wind will just blow straight past the children's heads. I understand adding a footmuff to the front seat is hard (I am not sure why).
Being honest, I think looking at a proper double from the start would be much easier. You would easily get a years worth out of a double pushchair, and you could always sell it and get the Joovy later. I just dont see a Joovy really as the best option for a baby. Better for two older children.
Have you seen the Micralite Twofold which offers you better flexibility TBH because there is a carrycot plus seat or buggyboard option? Well worth a look.
