Anyone have this triple stroller?

I might be interested in a triple.  Maybe it will make getting out with all the kids by myself doable.  Of course being a SBS I won't be able to take it absolutely everywhere.

What do you think about this Baby Jogger model?   Triples are just not that easy to come by on CL and I have no intention of buying a new one! https://sandiego.craigslist.org/nsd/bab/2509258194.html

Thanks!

    Hey there!  I just posted in your SkipHop post :)

    I need to contact that seller for more pics and info.  I can't tell if it's more of a running style (like the Bob Ironman), or if that even matters.

    Things are pretty good!  Just started back to work and it's an adjustment.  DS is a mama's boy.  I convinced myself he was going to be a Super laid back baby, but he didn't get the memo.  Every night it's 1.5-2hrs to get him to bed.  Exhausting. 

    How are you liking toddler world?  Almost 18mos!  Are you down to one nap yet?

    I have the double City Classic and it looks a lot like that only double. I love it, but it is too heavy to use as an every day stroller. Assuming the triple would be that much heavier. Don't know if that was any help at all.

    I have two mama's girls, so I feel ya.  When I get home from work, I can't get anything done.  The second I take a step, they scream and cry.  Good times!

    Oh yes, down to one nap at a year.  18 months is.... challenging.  But fun!  They are little divas already.  Sigh...

    no triple SBS strollers will fit in any doors- so it has to be an outside only stroller for you if you get it.

    I'd get the Valco Trimode twin  + toddler seat- you can use that for long walks AND indoors - it will fit through any standard door. You'll get much more use out of it. Also- if one of the girls starts to want to walk all the time- you'll be able to use it as a double easily... or add on a rider board to the back.

    I searched CL every day for a while and got mine on there for $500 with everything included.... but now that they have upgraded the new models I have seen the used ones going even cheaper.

    I used to be Goldie_locks_5 but the new nest is so screwed up that I was forced to start over.

    My mom's friend is giving us this same stroller for free! My parents have it and will be driving it from the midwest before the baby comes, so I have no idea about it's size or quality. Everyone keeps telling me it's huge. My plan is to use it for walks in the neighborhood and maybe at the zoo and outdoor festivals. Since it's free, I'll find a way to make it work!

    I have that stroller, it was given to us. It is huge. Doesn't even fit on most of our sidewalks around town, so I only use it for beach or on bike paths. I mostly use my valco trimode the most b/c it fits through doorways and can fold up and fit in the van.

    I have it. It is true that it doesn't fit on most sidewalks but I like it. We used it for a while just around the neighborhood before we got our choo choo wagon. My DH is a runner and every now and then he will take all 3 running. It is heavy to run with but it pushes very easy and I like using it. If you are looking for something for walks and such you should look into a choo choo wagon. My kids love their wagon and get so freakin excited when they see me pull it out of the garage! :)

    Don't waste your money on that! I just got a Peg Perego Triplette stroller on Craigslist for $400. Same price, much more convenient stroller. Sure, both are beast to fold, but the Peg fits through doorways and if you get a Peg Perego carseat (which I also got cheap on CL) you don't have to take your youngest out of the carseat- it snaps onto the chassis in lieu of one of the seats. Don't get the old style Triplette with navy seats (I don't think the carseat snaps into those). Mine looks like this but the color is Moka, not Java:

    I think for $300 you should find something that fits through a doorway. That huge width really limits you. It took me lots of patience and time, but I finally found one.

    Good luck!
