Family Adventures with Joovy

by Katie Wallace | Updated: March 13, 2017

I know all too well, traveling or running errands with young kids can feel overwhelming. Because of that, having the right stroller makes all the difference. I truly love our Joovy Caboose Ultralight stroller. It helps us get out the door with confidence. Even better, it makes everyday adventures easier and more enjoyable.

After my third child was born, leaving the house felt intimidating. Managing a newborn and two toddlers is no small task. Still, I knew we needed fresh air and family outings to mix up our days. The best solution was simple, keep everyone contained and comfortable. The Joovy Caboose Ultralight stroller made that possible.

Sometimes my oldest walks. Other times, both of my little ones happily sit in the stroller. This stroller feels streamlined and easy to manage. Best of all, it fits two kids without feeling bulky. It’s quickly become an essential stroller for errands, outings, and family adventures.

Ultralight and Compact Stroller

The name truly says it all. This stroller is lightweight and compact. When we took it out of the box, assembly was quick and straightforward. My husband Andy attached the wheels, snapped on the front tray, and added the optional second seat. That extra seat has been incredibly helpful with two young riders.

Folding the stroller is just as easy. It collapses smoothly and fits well in our car’s trunk. Even with extra bags, it doesn’t take up much space. A compact stroller matters when you’re packing for kids.

Joovy Caboose Ultralight Highlights

  • Sealed bearing wheels for smooth maneuvering
  • Large canopy with plenty of headroom
  • Rear canopy extension for back seat coverage
  • Spacious storage basket
  • Parent organizer with cup holders and a zippered pocket

Because of these features, the stroller works well in many settings. We’ve used it around town, on vacations, and even at the airport. It handles pavement and light gravel best. For exploring malls, zoos, and museums with your kids, it’s a great family travel essential.

My baby rides comfortably in the front seat. Meanwhile, my active toddler loves the back seat or standing platform. With the optional seat installed, both kids face forward and can recline. That makes naps on the go much easier.

When we visited the zoo, my little guy relaxed in the back while his sisters explored. At the children’s museum, we remove the back seat. That way, my toddler can hop on and off as needed. This flexibility is one of my favorite features.

Go on Family Adventures

Easily getting out of the house makes a big difference, especially with young kids. Staying home too long can make everyone restless. That’s why we prioritize small adventures.

With the right gear, exploring feels doable. We visit local spots, meet friends, and make memories together. Ultimately, I want our kids to grow up loving exploration. Even if it includes snacks, stroller naps, and a slower pace.

The Joovy Caboose Ultralight stroller helps make that possible. It supports our family as we create, play, and travel together.

I used to have one of these and it was great. It did fall apart after two years of abuse, but I think that’s pretty good for a stroller. I actually miss it’s relative turning ease and lightness compared the one we have now. The only issue I had with… Read more »

Confidence is built when kids learn to keep trying, even when itโ€™s frustrating. We remind our kids to take the first stepโ€ฆ and then the next. To us, progress matters more than perfection.

We believe diligence grows when our kids know theyโ€™re capable, and supported.

๐Ÿ™Œ We trust God with the growth, and we show up for the daily work.

This homeschool semester started with the things our kids love most: focused learning, creative projects, and staying active. Right now that looks like basketball, cheer, and lots focused school days.

These home seasons matter. They give our kids space to build skills, explore interests, and settle into routines โ€” while we take a pause from exploring new places.

A lot of people ask if I miss traveling. Honestly, I donโ€™t right now. ๐Ÿ˜€โœจ Iโ€™m really enjoying this purposeful season of family life and growth. When the time feels right, weโ€™ll plan our next adventure. ๐Ÿ—บ๏ธ
