When the box for the Joovy Big Caboose arrived on our porch, I thought it had to be a mistake – were there two strollers in there? (Well, kind of, yes). This stroller is monstrously huge. It holds three full size kids, so yes, it’s huge. If anyone lists this as a con in any review you’ve read, you can just overlook it because it holds three full size kids! It was so easy to assemble right out of the box, although we did have to take the (large, full coverage, removable) canopies off and put them back on correctly but that was just user error all the way!
The fabric is nice and thick, the padding is really swank, and the styling is nice. We installed the snack trays instead of the car seat adapters since our twins are sitting with support. The harnesses and straps are very nice and sturdy with reflective edging for night time walks. The recline function was really unique and extremely easy to flip the metal bar from a straight up sitting position to a recline with just one finger. Once the girls are using sippy cups independently, the cup holders will be super handy. I will take a moment to note that *most* popular strollers require you to purchase these snack trays and car seat adapters separately, so the Joovy is a great value from that fact alone!
I will admit to reading some Amazon reviews of the Big Caboose prior to receiving the stroller and read that some were disappointed in the rear seat not locking. I don’t know if Joovy fixed an oversight or the users were simply not looking in the right spot, but there are buttons underneath the rear seat to lock it in place. My toddler stood and held the comfortable foam covered handles and then sat on the seat and was able to buckle himself into the (3 point) harness. Granted, it’s not a huge seat, but the times he would be sitting on it would be short trips.
It’s narrow enough to fit through doorways while being manageable enough when you have some forward momentum. Because it is so long and heavy when weighed down with kids and stuff, it’s a little bulky to steer hard turns but otherwise a pleasurable, comfortable experience for the kids. There is no parent cupholder, but I don’t really know if there *can* be one due to the ability for the larger kid to stand there. It would be relatively easy and inexpensive to add a simple snap on parent cupholder. The basket underneath is large and accessible, another huge plus for large families with lots of stuff.

Ah, this looks like such a fantastic stroller! And wow – I am loving all the extra storage underneath the seats, that’s always important to me when shopping strollers.
OK, that’s awesome! That would be amazing for a trip to the zoo. I’m glad companies are realizing the need for these kinds of strollers. So many have little ones close in age.
Wow, what an awesome stroller!
That looks really convenient to use, especially since it is good quality to hold up to energetic little ones!
Wow, I never saw anything like that. What a great way to handle 3 young kids. I love it.
What a great stroller!! If only it had even just one cup holder!
Chances are that he’ll be up and running to explore things most of the time anyhow so the little seat would probably be all you’d need for him. LOVE that incredibly storage capacity!
I love that the two kids in the stroller part are not on top of each other. There is a ton of room there! Nice stroller!
Awesome!! I have Irish Triplets and my triple stroller was a BEAST!! I love the look of this one! Thankfully at 7, 8, and 9 my trio can walk without needing a stroller!
Oh my goodness! LOL! Now that is one functional stroller! I have three kids and this would be so helpful for when we are out and about. Thanks for a great review!
Oh wow, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a more functional stroller. I just called my mom over to look at this. She could have really used one of these way back when with 3 in diapers.
What a cool stroller. I could have used this when my kids were younger. I lvoe Joovy.
*love
That is such a cool stroller! I will pass this along to my brother, he is having a baby at the end of the year!
WOW This is a monster but.. IT HOLDS THREE KIDS! That is so awesome. My daughter is only 3 and she has already outgrown two strollers bc she is tall. What an awesome solution for larger families and it’s design is much more user friendly than those side by side strollers.
Awesome product idea but OMG – a TRIPLE STROLLER!!
Now this is impressive! I love that you are so narrow! It may be hard to push, but it’s hard to find hands for 3 tired kiddos!!
what an adorable family!!! The stroller might be heavy, but you know you’ve got all three kids in one spot at one time…priceless! It seems to have plenty of storage and be as compact as can be and still hod three babes!
that looks cool. my sister could use that.
Wow, what an amazing stroller for families with 3 children!! Looks comfortable for each child!
