Learn how to install and use the Joovy Caboose Handlebar Cover to improve grip, protect the stroller, and keep your toddler safe during walks.
Quick answer
Install the Joovy Caboose Handlebar Cover to give your toddler a comfortable, non-slip grip while protecting the stroller handlebar from scratches and wear.
Why a handlebar cover matters for toddler safety
Toddlers often grab the stroller handlebar for balance or out of curiosity. A bare metal or plastic bar can be slippery, cold, or uncomfortable for small hands. The Caboose Handlebar Cover adds a soft, leatherette surface that improves grip and reduces the chance of your child's hand slipping off during a bumpy ride.
The cover also protects the handlebar from scratches, drool, and snack residue, which means less cleaning for you and a longer-lasting stroller.
Compatibility and fit
The Caboose Handlebar Cover fits the entire Caboose stroller family: Caboose, Caboose UL, Caboose LX, Caboose Too, Caboose Too Ultralight, Caboose Ultralight, and Big Caboose. If you own any of these models, the cover will slide on securely without tools.
How to install the Caboose Handlebar Cover
- Position the cover over the handlebar: Slide the open end of the leatherette cover onto the stroller handlebar from the side. Make sure the seam faces downward or toward the stroller frame so it is less visible. Common mistake: trying to force the cover over both ends at once. Work from one side only.
- Center and adjust the cover: Slide the cover along the handlebar until it sits evenly between the two grips or end caps. The cover should cover the full width your toddler can reach. Check that the cover does not block the folding mechanism if your Caboose model has a foldable handlebar.
- Test the grip and security: Gently tug the cover to confirm it stays in place. Let your toddler hold the handlebar to see if the height and position feel natural. If the cover shifts during use, reposition it and ensure it is fully seated—no adhesive or fasteners are needed.
