Jeep Destination Double vs Joovy Caboose Too Ultralight

Both are $300 doubles; one is wide when folded and the other long. The Jeep Destination Double is a side-by-side that weighs 28.66 lb and folds to 30 x 29.5 x 13.4 inches, standing up. The Joovy Caboose Too Ultralight is a tandem at 23.5 lb that folds to 45.25 x 21.25 x 10, a 45-inch-long package. That is 5.2 lb off the lift but a thing that must lie flat in a trunk. The Joovy fits narrow doorways, is rated at 45 lb per seat against the Jeep's 50, and has one canopy covering both riders. It also starts at 3 months, or from birth with the included car seat adapter, whereas the Jeep page gives no minimum age or car seat information. The Joovy is the only one with a stated newborn plan, which makes the Jeep a stroller for two children who already sit up.

Folded, the Joovy Caboose Too Ultralight makes a 5.56 cu ft box to the Jeep Destination Double's 6.86 cu ft. Neither fits a 22 x 14 x 9 in carry-on sizer: the Jeep Destination Double misses by 15.5 in and the Joovy Caboose Too Ultralight by 23.25 in. The Joovy Caboose Too Ultralight is 5.16 lb lighter by its maker's figure (23.5 lb to 28.66 lb).
