There are not many options out there for triplets but it is still such a hard decision! There is a lot to think about. Now our choices are not the most budget friendly, but not many of the choices are and we wanted something(s) that we love and that will last.
We came to the decision after lots of thought, that we were not going to get a triplet stroller that would fit our carseats. That just wouldn't fit our lifestyle or the big city. They are very big and we honestly did not think it would be a good investment as we wouldn't use it after the car seat stage. This is just for us though, some moms swear by them. With so many family members in the area and ready to help, a triplet stroller is not necessary. At least in the beginning.
When I joined a multiples group in my area, one of the moms with 3 year old twins offered me to borrow (she will sell it when im done or keep it if they have another) her mountain Buggy Double! This was an awesome gift because I had really wanted to try to use bassinets when they are little. So my plan is to have this for the first 6 months.
It is an amazing stroller and the best thing about it is the carrycot. This is the only stroller that has a double carrycot. It is huge and will easily fit all three babies across for at least 4 or 5 months. I am really excited about this because we live across the street from a park and I want to be able to take walks with them. Its also great because it takes some of the "triplet attraction" away. So al we only had to pay for this (the only reason we got it) and we can sell it when we are done. And I think it will be a life saver.
So besides this, we also have our City Mini GT as a small single to use if we are baby-wearing or if we want all three in strollers and two people are available.
Our big decision though was what stroller to get for if we needed to take all three. It is mainly an issue once they get older but e definitely did not want a three in-line stroller. We have decided on the Valco Baby Tri-mode EX Twin Stroller with the new joey toddler seat. This way we can have all three kids in a stroller that is only double wide! It is amazing and has awesome reviews and the joey seat is easily removable if we only have 2 in it. I plan to babywear a lot and Patrick wants to as well but as they get bigger this is an awesome option without being an eyesore!
We are really excited to start using this! For now we have all our bases covered! Its a lot to think about and seems crazy but what isn't with triplets! I will review these later on but for now they all look great!
And if we do need to go somewhere quick and dont want to wake or mess with any of the babies, we have car seat adapters for the Valco Baby and the city mini. But a lot of places we are going when they are tiny are walking distance and I really don't want to leave them in their seats too much, especially in the summer. Im sure there will be lots of stroller shuffling in the beginning but thats what strong husbands, big garages, and big car trunks are for! ;)
