Learn which Joovy strollers work with the Caboose RS Bassinet Adapters and get step-by-step instructions for attaching the bassinet safely.
Quick answer
The Joovy Caboose RS Bassinet Adapters let you attach the Joovy Bassinet to the Caboose RS stroller, creating a flat, newborn-friendly ride. They do not fit other stroller models or the Caboose S without separate adapters.
Why use a bassinet adapter instead of a car seat
A bassinet keeps your newborn lying flat, which supports healthy breathing and hip development during the first months. Car seat adapters angle the infant slightly, so a bassinet is the safer choice for longer strolls and naps.
The Caboose RS Bassinet Adapters are designed exclusively for the Caboose RS stroller frame. If you own a Caboose S, you will need the separate Caboose S Bassinet Adapters – the two are not interchangeable.
How to attach the bassinet adapters
- Check compatibility: Confirm you have a Caboose RS stroller (not the Caboose S or an older model). The adapters will not click into other frames. Mismatched adapters can loosen during use – always verify the model before buying.
- Locate the adapter mounting points: On each side of the stroller frame, find the small metal tabs near the handlebar. The adapters snap onto these tabs – no tools required. If the tabs are covered by fabric, pull the canopy back slightly to expose them.
- Attach the adapters: Hold one adapter with the joovy logo facing outward. Align the slot on the adapter with the metal tab and press firmly until you hear a click. Repeat on the other side. A partial click means the adapter is not fully locked – push until both sides are flush with the frame.
- Mount the bassinet: Place the joovy Bassinet onto the adapters so that the connectors on the bassinet base line up with the adapter slots. Press down evenly until the bassinet clicks into place. Lift the bassinet gently after mounting – if it lifts off, repeat the step until it feels solid.
- Test the connection: Give the bassinet a firm shake side to side and front to back. It should not wobble or detach. If it does, remove the bassinet and recheck that both adapters are fully seated. Always do this test before placing your baby in the bassinet.
