I think Carroll means the surface of a hyper-cylinder (or whatever the name for it is), where every ##\mathbb{S}^2## is identical and stacked one on top of another, not ever-smaller spheres nested one inside the other, which is what I think you mean. Every point is identical (diffeomorphic to any other), but not every direction.
