I am looking for opinions on the Joovy Caboose Sit & Stand and the Baby Trend Sit & Stand LX Tandem. To me they look very similar but there is a big price difference. Any thoughts or suggestions on either one will be greatly appreciated as I need to make a decision quickly! Thanks so much!
Thanks for all of the input! I went with the Baby Trend and LOVE it!!! It is perfect for what we need at this time. Thanks again for taking the time to respond and offer suggestions.
Besides the price difference there are some other things like a larger basket on the sit-n-stand. The Joovy also has a parent organizer vs. an actual tray on the sit n stand. If you are interested there is a better side by side review at: http://doublestrollerreviewsite.com/joovy-caboose-vs-sit-...
hope this helps. good luck.
I LOVE my Joovy ultralight caboose. It's way more comfortable to drive, lighter and easier to fold. It was def worth the price difference for me!
I had the same question when purchasing. I went with the baby trend simply because the mesh carrier underneath was bigger and carried more items...important to me with two little ones and a lot of baby stuff. I love my baby trend!
We love our Sit and Stand by Baby Trend. We got the deluxe which comes with a seat for the back so if the older child is not quite old enough for the platform seat, they can have a real seat like a standard tandem stroller would have. Not a ton of foot room this way though.
When baby is in baby carrier, older child can be in back seat or on platform. Either way, the child has plenty of room other than the foot room. I've heard that with the Joovy, the older child doesn't have a lot of room when the front seat is reclined.
The basket is huge, but not the easiest to get to. Parent tray is ok.
I have a Joovy Ultralight caboose and LOVE It! I don't know much about the Sit & Stand. I choose the Joovy because of the large shade and how light it is.
Just to complicate things, I have a Mia Moda Compagno that I am very happy with. It's not super light but it has some features (like a pretty good recline on the front seat) that the Joovy and SitNStand don't. Cost is $190 I think, so cheaper than the Joovy Ultralight, slightly more than the SNS.
We have the BT Sit & Stand LX Double Tandem with the removable back seat once the older child is bit enough for the sitting or standing platform and we love it! My daughter turns 2 next week and my son is almost 8 mos. DD loves stroller rides so I didn't want to jump right to the sit n stand without the seat. I read a lot of reviews when trying to choose between this and the Joovy and some people complained that the seats on the Joovy seemed small and the kids would outgrow them too quickly...needless to say, I didn't want that to happen. I looked them both over at Babies R Us and settled on the Baby Trend model. It is easy to turn and folds up about the size of my graco metro light single stroller. The newer version Baby Trend also stand on their own once folded. Any other questions or want to see a photo- let me know. One thing - the front seat only has 2 recline positions -- the back seat on the new model has flexible/adjustable recline with a string/pulley mechanism.
