    Hi! I am looking at buying a triple jogging stroller so that I can get all 3 of the kids out of the house with me when I exercise. I have looked on ebay at some, but was wondering if any of you had one? If so, is it fairly easy to use? Which brand did you purchase? Also, I have seen some that have the 2 front wheels close together, but the ones on ebay are set far apart. Does this make a difference?
    Thanks for any help that you can offer. It's kinda a pricy item, so I just wanted to see if anyone had any feedback before I made a purchase. Thanks so much!

    PS - could the mods maybe link this to the triplet forum for me?

    I bought one when my twins turned one (and their older brother turned three) and I loved it! I only used it for walks around the neighborhood (mostly to exercise) and it was well worth the investment, plus the re-sale value was good too. Mine had the two front wheels farther apart, I believe it was similar to THIS one. It is a very large stroller so make sure you have a place to store it when not in use. We ended up storing ours in our sunroom as it took up too much room in our garage.

    Any other ?'s let me know!

    It's not a jogger, per se, but a lot of people LOVE their Valco Twin Runabout with the added toddler seat. The distinct advantage of this is that it will fit through standard doors and when your oldest is done riding in a stroller or isn't with you, you pop the toddler seat off and you've got a lovely double stroller. Just a thought!

    I just got my Valco with toddler seat this week and LOVE IT! From my former running days, I could see how this would be an excellent jogger. It handles beautifully and the front wheels can lock into position or fully swivel. I would recommend it for anyone with three monsters to contain. I got mine from Kiwi-Kid.com. Pricey but my sanity was worth it.

    Why not call/email your local Moms of Multiples clubs and see if you can get a gently used one? You'll probably save a bunch of $

    Thank you all so much for your responses! I truly apppreciate them! We are leaning towards purchasing the ones off of ebay that are the 3 seat joggers. We got thinking that when (or if) #4 comes along that it will be helpful too.
    Oh, and I do have just a regular double stroller that I use for shopping, etc. This one is more for off road walking/jogging. But thanks again!! [​IMG]
    Oh, I forgot to mention too. I check with my MOM group and no one had a triple stroller. A couple of doubles though.

    I have the older style Baby Jogger Triple, it doesn't have the same upgrades that the new series has (my seats don't recline & it does not fold up) but I love it. I use it for running all year round (I have the rain cover & it keeps them toasty!). I bough it on EBay when I was prego for the twins. I couldn't live without it!

    I have another stroller for shopping since the Baby Jogger is not at all portable though.
