-the complete Joovy Qool double stroller review
Looking to buy a luxury-style single to double stroller? Then the Joovy Qool is definitely worth looking at!
The Joovy Qool Stroller with its dark frame, and leatherette handle bar, has that modern and luxury look while still being quite affordable. The Joovy Qool stroller is an ultimate multi-tasker. You can use it as a single stroller, as a double with the purchase of additional seats and front adaptors, or triple with the purchase of a bench seat. This stroller is a must have when you have either twins or triplets. It weighs about 30lbs and can hold up to 135lbs total weight (this includes the weight of your children and the items you put in the basket). The Qool reclines nearly flat (for more comfortable seating) but unfortunately does not have an adjustable footrest.
Newborns will need to use the bassinet or car seat and smaller infants who have outgrown the bassinet will need an infant insert for a proper fit.
This stroller is modular and can be used forward-facing or parent-facing. The Qool converts to a double stroller with the addition of a second seat – sold separately. The second seat’s weight limit is one of the top weight limits on the market, at 55 pounds. Many convertible strollers have a ride-along board accessory for small children, but the Qool takes this triple stroller concept one step further. In addition to the two main seats, you can add a bench seat, which accommodates children up to 55 pounds. The Qool rolls on rubber wheels with front-wheel suspension, providing a reasonably smooth ride even on more uneven surfaces.

Seats
The Joovy Qool seats have a high weight limit. Both the main seat and the second seat can hold a child up to 55lbs! The seats, which are equipped with a 5-point harness, can easily recline to a nearly flat position by engaging the gray recline lever at the top of the seat. That said, though they can recline down far, Joovy does not recommend you place babies in the regular seat until they are about 6 months of age.
The seats have a removable bumper bar, which makes setting kids in or lifting them out easy-peasy, as well as an easy-to-clean rubber foot lining at the seat’s bottom to catch dirt, food crumbs, and playground. The seat is super easy to take out and put back in. Just press the two buttons on either side of the seat and then lift the seat out to remove it. When you want to put it back, it simply clicks in
However, the height limit of the seats is only 44 inches. Some parents say that with the second seat attached, the space can feel squished.

Joovy Qool Stroller Pros
- The Qool reclines nearly flat (for a bucket seat) but does not have an adjustable footrest.
- Newborns will need to use the bassinet or car seat and smaller infants who have outgrown the bassinet will need an infant insert for a proper fit.
- This stroller is modular and can be used forward-facing or parent-facing.
- The Qool converts to a double stroller with the addition of a second seat sold separately. The second seat’s weight limit is one of the highest weight limits on the market, at 55 pounds.
Joovy Qool Stroller Cons
- Weighing in at 30.6 pounds as a single and 37.5 pounds as a double, the Qool is one of the heaviest full-sized strollers out there.
- The Qool folds very simply, but is not particularly compact. Please check your car’s trunk dimensions to make sure this stroller will fit before purchasing. The stroller folds easily with the primary seat or both seats attached.
- The footrest is not adjustable.
- As a single stroller, the Qool features a nicely-sized storage basket big enough to fit plenty of things. It is a bit difficult to access because of the stroller’s crossbar. As a double stroller, much of the storage space is eaten up by the second seat, which is true of most convertible strollers.
- The Qool comes with a bumper bar, but all other accessories, like rain shields, bassinets, second seat, bench seats, car seat adapters, and more are sold separately.

Conclusion – Joovy Qool Double Stroller Review
The biggest selling point for me was the 55-pound weight capacity for each seat. With two babies the same age growing together, I did not want seats with different weight capacities. I wanted to get some miles out of the Qool so our kids can ride in it as long as possible. What I also liked was the huge canopy and the big storage basket.
Some things I like that I noticed after putting it together (which was really easy) is that the Qool feels sturdy, which might be why it feels a bit on the heavy side. The leatherette handlebar is nice and comfortable. The canopy window is big and can be left open for ventilation. The wheels are solid, the extending handlebar is nice when needed, and the different recline positions are nice for keeping your baby comfortable.
