Terrain

Several reviews by customers who have used the Joovy Caboose Ultralight have praised that this stroller works pretty well on rough and rugged terrains such as grass, beach, dirt parts, etc. However, the Baby Trend Sit N Stand loses a point here as this stroller is not meant for rough and rugged terrains. Some users have complained that they are left “huffing and puffing” while using this stroller on rugged terrains.

Adjustability

A common complaint by some customers who have used the Joovy Caboose Ultralight stroller is that folding and opening this stroller can sort of be a task. It takes a while to get used to it and requires the use of both your hands in order to shut and open it. This, however, isn’t the case with the Baby Trend Sit N Stand Ultra. After getting the hang of it, people love how easy and convenient it is to open and shut this stroller. And this can be done with the use of just one hand. The Joovy Caboose stroller stores itself much more efficiently in small places, such as the trunk of your car, than the Baby Trend stroller, mainly due to its size.

The children in the rear can either sit or stand according to their preference. The Baby Trend stroller has a sit and stand jumpseat/platform located in the rear of the stroller for an older rider. On the other hand, the Joovy Caboose stroller has an integrated stand-on board and this is centered within the wheelbase making it very stable.

Safety

The Baby Trend Sit N Stand Ultra stroller has a minimum weight recommendation of 6 lbs and a maximum of 100 lbs, which is 50 lbs in the front and 50 lbs in the rear. Whereas the Joovy Caboose has a minimum weight recommendation of 5 lbs and a maximum of 90 lbs, which is 45 lbs in the front and 45 lbs in the rear.
