Joovy
Caboose LX
Configuration: Manufacturer base double / two-child configuration of the Caboose LX in Black (SKU 8257): full-size 3-position reclining front seat with child snack tray, rear bench seat and standing platform, with the included universal infant car seat adapter and parent organizer. The stroller ships without a car seat; the newborn route is an infant car seat on the included adapter. Curated ASIN B01N15BCSV is the headline offer (its displayed-variant detail-table ASIN reads B0D6V6GMHH — recorded as an Amazon listing-presentation variance).
Sit-and-stand tandem double: reclining front seat from 3 months, rear bench and stand-on platform from 2.5 years. 45 lb per seated child, 90 lb total, 44 in max height, 29 lb weight. Snack tray, parent organizer and infant car seat adapter ship in the box.

Our Take
The Caboose LX is built for an age gap: a full-size front seat with a 3-position recline for a child from 3 months, and behind it a bench and standing platform for a rider at least 2.5 years old. A newborn rides only in a compatible infant car seat on the included universal adapter, never on the seat fabric. The published ceilings are 45 lb per seated child, 90 lb for two together and 44 in of height.
The kit answers most two-child needs out of the box — snack tray, parent organizer and the car seat adapter all ship in the box, the basket holds 10 lb, and a deluxe UPF 50+ canopy covers both riders — and it folds with the adapter left installed. Owner reviews on the brand's own store page praise that one-canopy coverage, the smooth glide and the price; one reported a learning curve on the fold.
The trade-offs are the 29 lb frame on the stairs and the rear riding space, which an active preschooler can outgrow in comfort — owners note a big older child crowds the bench. The 90-day limited warranty is short next to the multi-year terms common on many doubles.
What we like
- Snack tray, parent organizer and a universal infant car seat adapter all ship in the box, so the front seat can carry a car seat without another Joovy purchase
- Long child fit window: 45 lb for each seated child, 90 lb for two riders and a 44 in height ceiling, all published by the manufacturer
- The front seat reclines to three positions, and the stroller folds with the car seat adapter installed
- Front wheel sets swivel for steering and lock for straight-line tracking
Worth knowing
- At 29 lb this is a substantial tandem to lift, and the fold needs both hands on the triggers
- The 90-day limited warranty is shorter than the multi-year coverage common on many double strollers
- Neither seat dimensions nor the wheel construction type is published by the manufacturer
- The manufacturer's online car seat compatibility chart does not list this model, so car seat fit needs a direct confirmation with Joovy
Best for
Caregivers with a younger child up front and an older child on the rear bench or stand-on platform who want one sit-and-stand tandem with the tray, organizer and car seat adapter already in the box.
Consider another option if
You want published seat dimensions and wheel type before buying, a longer warranty than 90 days, or a car seat route that Joovy's own compatibility chart confirms for this exact model.

Car Seat Compatibility
Compatible infant car seat brands and adapter requirements.
Works with included adapters
Compatibility varies by car seat model. Always verify your exact car seat, stroller, and required adapter with the manufacturer before purchasing or using them. Infant car seats are sold separately unless otherwise specified.
Check before buying
- Confirm your exact infant car seat with Joovy before relying on the travel route: the included adapter's compatible-model list is in the printed insert, and the online compatibility chart does not name the Caboose LX.
- Amazon's detail table lists a rounded 29.3 pounds and rounded assembled dimensions, while the official Joovy product page publishes 29 lb and 38.25 x 21.5 x 42.25 inches. The official values are kept in the spec cells; this Amazon variance does not dispute the official figures. — confirm the current figure with the manufacturer or retailer before buying.
- Amazon's detail table presents a displayed-variant ASIN (B0D6V6GMHH) while the curated canonical ASIN B01N15BCSV opens this same Caboose LX Black offer — confirm the current figure with the manufacturer or retailer before buying.
