Mother of Twins and Toddler

I'm a mom to twins and a toddler and find it very hard to get out of the house for long walks with all three of them because triple strollers are so hard to push. I have read about the runabout triple stroller and it's ease of use, but I can't afford one brand new. If you or anyone you know have a runabout triple or something similar, please let me know. I'm open to other suggestions too! I just need to be able to get these kids out. My twins are 9 months old and my toddler is 2.

 

I bought a Valco Twin Trimode with a toddler attachment. It was a sanity saver to be able to get all 3 out and about. GL on you search.

 

Did your kids enjoy riding in the toddler seat? I'm worried that my son won't like being up that high. He's VERY cautious and nervous - for example, he hates the rides at the mall, elevators etc. Anything that moves! He likes regular strollers though. thanks for your reply.

 

We had no issues with not wanting to ride in the seat. As the boys got older they wanted to ride in there too.

 

I have a Baby Jogger City Classic Double that I put all 3 of mine in/on. The twinks ride in the seats and my older one rides on the foot rest.

 

I just bought a peg perego triplette from craigslist for $150. Haven't gotten to use it yet but it sure looks cool!

My mom found it by putting "triplette" into the keyword search -- apparently those don't show up if you search on "triple". Good luck!

 

I do this with my baby trend jogger. and they are only $200 at bru. the bad thing with this one is that it does not fit through standard door ways. so I save it for outside only trips.

 

I too can brag about the triple Runabout. It is awesome! I was lucky enough after searching and searching to find one on craigslist for 1/2 the price, and only had to drive 2 hours to go get it (it even included the trailer hitch attachment so it can be put on back of vehicle). But, with the way kids are having multiples these days you could buy one new and know that you will be able to sell it eventually for at least 1/2 of what you bought it for.

 

Try going to the website www.tripletconnection.com and post that you are looking for a gently used triplet stroller. Its a forum for parents of triplets, quads or more. Someone might be looking to sell theirs.

 

I have the Valco Baby Twin Tri Mode stroller and love it!! We orginally just had a Graco Double Stroller, but then I coulnd't leave the house with all three kids unless I had someone to push my daughter in our other Graco stroller. I sold the double when we decided to purchase the Valco stroller. Our kids love the stroller and now that the twins are getting bigger all three kids take turns riding in the toddler seat.
