18 mo twins + newborn stroller help- valco?

Mrs.MagPie08

I'm trying to plan ahead for when #3 arrives. Does anybody know if you can use the Valco with a car seat adaptor (for #3) AND the toddler extension seat (twin #1) while twin 2 sits comfortably in the other stroller seat? I know "wearing the baby" is an option but I want a stroller option too.

Weird. I am MagPie but logged in from my phone and now it's showing me as MrsMagPie. With two posts. Oh Bump. You are crazy.

I have the Valco with the toddler seat, and you can only use one or the other. But, the seats on the Valco totally recline, so you can use a snuzzler (one of those head/neck supports) and recline the seat and put the baby in the seat and one twin in a seat and the other in the toddler seat.

If you are talking about the valco trimode twin, couldn't you use that stroller with the 3rd joey seat and put newborn fully reclined in 1 seat, twin 1 in the other and twin 2 in the jump seat? Or are you really wanting the option to use the car seat in the stroller?

I guess I really want a triple option that work w/a car seat, but then could also be used without one after baby #3 grows out of it. Does this exist, or only in my mind? 

Where's our resident stroller expert when I need her? Goldie, weigh in when you can.

I am in the exact same situation. I ended up getting a Peg Perego Triplette and car seat that goes with it off craigslist. I've heard it's a pain to maneuver, but I think it's worth it to be able to get out with all three (without having to wear anyone). I decided against the Valco because you can't keep the newborn in a car seat with that option. Taking all 3 out of car seats every time we go anywhere would take me forever. Also, once the twins are out of the stroller, I plan on selling the Triplette and getting my money back- I got it for $400(a steal as they usually go for more) and know I can re-sell it for the same amount (assuming my kids don't destroy it) since I live in a big city.

It just dawned on me that triplet moms deal with this every day.

Either push a limo-sized snap and go, or unbuckle and rebuckle three kids anytime you go anywhere.

Mad props, Triplet MoMs.

I just posted a new post about this... see the top of the page.  I have an Aria 60/40 twin stroller (that you can put a car seat in) and then bought a buggy board for one to stand in the back.  Hope this helps.

Thanks- it's a good idea but at only 1.5 yrs old, the twins would be too young to only have stand option.
