Ok, on to the latest and greatest news for the store. If you do not already know, we have been strolling on for eight months! This summer has brought many blessings for us, in the names of Graco, Peg Perego, Baby Jogger and Car seats. We brought Baby Jogger in May which was absolutely wonderful, and of course we were up the air as to what new line we would choose for the store. We were going to hold off until we saw what was going on at ABC in September, but Joovy sort of just kicked our rears into gear! So that's how it happened and now Strolling In Style is the latest and greatest Joovy retailer in the US!

Joovy is of course known for their Caboose which is a sit and stand style stroller. Basically it works like this. For moms who waited around until baby #1 was able to wipe the drool off his own chin (oh, around 3 1/2 years) to have baby #2 Joovy created the perfect solution. The Caboose (we took the Ultralight version for the store which is about 21 lbs compared to 27 or so on the original) can hold an infant car seat, and also totes a bench style seat with three point harness for older bro or sis. Older bro or sis can also stand on the platform beneath the bench seat and hold on using the two hand rubbery grips located on either side of the bench seat.

Of course this is a new style stroller for Strolling In Style. Number one, we have insane amounts of double strollers but this is our only "Sit and Stand" line.

Who is the Joovy Ultralight Caboose perfect for? Well, the perfect candidate for this stroller is again as mentioned, the mom with an older child over 3 1/2. Preferably this older child is a) no longer interested in their stroller, or sitting in a stroller b) finds the idea of sitting on the bench or standing on a board "fun and exciting" c) Is willing to sit or stand without having to be conived with candy. If your older child meets these requirements, then you are set to go.

What are the pros of the Ultralight Caboose? Many. Seriously, Joovy has created the Sit and stand stroller with an incredibly surprising smooth ride. The ball bearings on the stroller are serious. It rides and glides very easily. Also, thumbs up to Joovy for creating a simply EASY stroller to stick your infant car seat on and also your three year old without having to tote around a huge double stroller. Think, snap and go with a great place for your other kid to feel comfortable! Convenient? Absolutely.

The Ultralight Caboose makes an great double stroller (if your kid happens to meet the above requirements) but it also makes a specatcular secondary stroller (think mall, quick trips) FOR EVERYDAY USE! Also, including in the amazing price (under $300) is the cool looking neoprene organizer, car seat adapter, rain cover and snack tray! And the Ultralight Caboose has a sleek modern design that actually looks really stylish.

Cons? If any, the stroller seat is not suitable for infants under six months. Therefore, when using the Caboose baby #2 must be in the car sear seat until about 6 months. Most infant car seats are still being used at 6 months so this shouldn't be a problem! Also, the seat only has two positions, so if you have a stroller napper, this might not be enough of a recline.

Seems like the pros outweight the cons? Come and see for yourself! The Joovy Ultralight Caboose is available at Strolling In Style now!

Happy Strolling!

ps...Joovy also makes a Big Caboose. Think newborn twins and a toddler!
