New Here (Transportation Situation)

Auki13

Hi everyone,

I hope you don't mind me joining this board because I don't technically have my own multiples but am going to start watching twin boys (who will be two next week) and I will be bringing my daughter with (who just turned two last week), so during the day it will be like having 2 yo triplets. 
I was hoping to get some advice from the ladies on here who have triplets regarding transportation.  I am already planning on getting the choo-choo wagon for them, but am thinking of the best way to go from the car into places (ex. library, park, etc...).  Has anyone ever used the walking ropes?  Do those work?  Is there something better out there that I am missing?  Any advice regarding this would be great, thanks!

The choo choo was our main mode of transportation after they boys turned 1. I think that would be a great option for you. I never tried the rope, but I think others had luck with it. But it's hard to know how 2 year olds will react to it. Worth a try!

Mine are finally starting to be good with consistently holding hands in the parking lot, but if I remember correctly, 2 was still kind of dicey.  Another option would be to put one on your back with an Ergo or similar carrier and then use a double stroller or hold hands with the other two.

Thank you so much.  I have thought about wearing one while putting the other two in a stroller, but the woman I am working for is actually due in December (so I will be wearing the little one at that point).  I think I'm just going to have to try things in safe places and hopefully find something that works really well.  The woman I will be working for and I looked at triplet strollers and we couldn't believe the prices and lack of options out there.... I am hoping that at they get older the holding hands will work out, but want to err on the side of caution at the beginning.  Thanks again for the advice, and I am hoping to hang out on this board to get some more great advice from all you multiples mamas!

I don't have triplets but I have almost 3 year old twins and almost 2 year old! The wagon might be a good option but I will warn you if you are thinking about triple stroller those things are beast to move around! I typically put my younger son and one of the twins (most of the time the boy) in a double stroller while my daughter (one of the twins) holds my hand. I am able to push the stroller and hold her hand

Great, thanks!  I wasn't sure how the hand holding would go with a stroller, but I think it may be do-able... Yeah, the triplet stroller seems sooo huge and at their age (2) I should be able to get away without having to use one.  I do have several double strollers I could use anyways.
