Triplets and strollers--- what to do?

I have started my registry and cannot make my mind up about what to do for a stroller. Should I do a double stroller and a single (or sometimes a baby carrier) OR should we get a triplet stroller? When the babies are really little, I can't see myself going anywhere without another adult. 

 Should we go with a baby jogger or snap and go?  The triplet strollers are so limited and have not read great things about them.

 Any recommendations you gals have would be appreciated!

Re: Triplets and strollers--- what to do?

  • I did the double and the single snap and go's I went a lot of places by myself and I would wear a baby then. We could still be using the snap and gos now but the kids want to see things so we got the Valco Twin Tri mode with the Joey seat which we love. We also have the peg triple and it is a front to back so does not always fit in places. If you get the peg car seats you can use that like the snap and go. Like I said I love Valco but will not work till they are a little older unless you plan to wear. As for wearing if you have any questions feel free to PM me I have tried a lot of carriers and love to wear my kids except right now cause it is way to hot lol.

  • What worked for us is to get a single snap and go for the infant seat if you need to take one baby to the dr or out. Get a triple decker (buy off Craigslist or from another triplet mom- no need for a new one) for when you take all three. You can use this with the infant seats -Graco. And then for when they can sit up get a Valco twin tri mode with Joey seat or the ABC buggy. I got the Valco a few months ago and love it. The ABCs are supposed to be awesome but they are very pricey and come from new Zealand so you usually have to wait a few months for it to arrive. I've heard mixed reviews on the triple Peg Perego. It is huge which is why I decided against it.

  • We did the Foundations in line triple. We did try the double and single for a while, but it was just not working for us.

  • For us it started with the coarsest we wanted (Chico key fit 30). The DSNG is a great option, but we didn't like how the car seats we wanted attached to it. So we looked into other options because we want the cars eat we chose most.  

    We ended with the Chico  Cortina Double and chicco cortina single. And a baby born so we have options. I'm not going anywhere alone with three newborn girls for a while--and the triplet strollers were just SO EXPENSIVE for me to include in a registry. 

    When they are older, and able to sit up on their own, etc I want a side by side double and separate single so they can socialize more. That's a problem for a different day. For my registry, I just wanted to solve the near future problem.

     

    Good luck,m whatever you decide!

  • To start out, I had a triple decker (basically a triple snap n go), plus a single and double snap n go. We used the double + single more than anything, but I wanted to have the option to take them out by myself. I did that more when they were older, but I'm still glad we had the triple decker.

    (When they were older, we had a peg perego triplette, plus a double side by side and a few singles.)
