Triple umbrella stroller?

Has anyone seen one of these in a store or on a website? I've searched and searched but the only one I can find online is sold in the UK, and I can't find them in any stores here in Dallas.

My DD currently uses an inexpensive lightweight double umbrella stroller for the twins and she loves it. She uses it almost every day. She saw a triple umbrella stroller on an episode of John & Kate + 8 and mentioned it to me, so of course I started looking for one.

The only triple SBS strollers I've found are jogging strollers. She doesn't want anything that big, and would prefer not to have the length and weight of a regular triple stroller. Does anyone know where I can find a triple umbrella like this:

DD's twins will be 13 months old when their little brother arrives, so DD will definitely need a stroller for the three of them for quite a while. Does anyone have any other suggestions for her?

Thanks!

Kathy,

I wonder if you can call a local multiples club and ask. Maybe it would be worth posting on a website where there are women with triplets like MOST (mothers of supers twins) or call the manufacturer and ask. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Please post when you get answers. You're such a good mom and grandma .

 

I hope you are still looking for your answer because I have one for you.

Like your daughter, I have a set of twins and a singleton on the way in a few months and the thought of a triple tandem or jogger is unbearable for me. I just did a search for the stroller you mentioned (I thought it was great when I saw it on John and Kate) and apparently it is a special item that Chico made just for the Goslings (they live in the same town as the company). For more information, look here http://tripleskarka.blogspot.com/2007/10/l...twin-world.html Many families contacted Chico only to be told that it was not something they currently sold.

However, I did find a company in the UK that sells something very similar. It is called the OBaby Triple Buggy Stroller. You will have to pay for shipping, but since we son't seem to sell anything like this in the US there isn't much of a choice. Even with shipping it is cheaper than a lot of the triple tandem strollers I've seen. Google it and see what you think.

Good luck!

 

Please let us know if you find anything-I walk a lot and have three kids-my 3yo is still not ready to walk the long distance I go and needs a stroller. For now I put her on the front of the my double stroller and she hangs on...but she hates it! I need a triple stroller but dont want to spend a ton of money or have some big bulky thing because lets face it-I am out of room!

 

I wonder if it would fit through a normal doorway -- unlikely. I'd have to think a double plus toddler seat is a better way to go.
