Triple strollers are perfect for triplets, or a set of twins and another child. There are many things to consider when buying a triple stroller. The first thing is whether you want a type where the seats are one behind the other, or one where the three child seats are in a row, If they are one behind the other, it is to a large extent simpler to manoeuver through doorways and on busy streets. On the other hand, it makes it harder to keep an eye on all three children and to converse with them.
When all the children are in a single row, they can observe each other and are easier for you to reach and to sort out any needs or problems. However, getting through doorways, especially if you are on your own could be a nightmare and getting around inside smaller shops can be close to impossible.
You might also want to consider if you require a triple stroller where some of the seats can recline to a near horizontal position. This could be essential if you have 1 or more babies as well as a toddler, where you have to to be able to lie the baby down, but the toddler wants to be able to see what’s happening about them.
Another point you need to consider is the manoeuverability of the wheels. A number of strollers are a nightmare to steer and if they are also heavy can make any trip more of an endurance trip than a enjoyable excursion.
You also need to think about the balance of weight over durability. You have to have a stroller that is sturdy enough for your family, particularly if you are pushing older children, but you also want a stroller that is not too heavy and cumbersome for you to push around.
It is nice to have options for canopies or sunshades. It is very useful if you can have individual canopies or shades so that you can shade one child but not another if you want.
Storage is a further vital consideration. You will most likely be hauling around a sizeable amount of ‘equipment’ for your family and have to make sure that it can all be stored on the stroller safely without the risk of it tipping over. You also want storage space which provides you easy access to any bits and pieces that you may need while you are out, such as drinks or toys. Some strollers offer storage underneath, which is perfect for the balance of the stroller, but doesn’t allow for easy access. Others have storage on the back of the seats, which is less stable. It may be possible to find a combination of both of these to create the desired balance.
A further point to bear in mind is that few families have triplets, or some combination of three little children, so there is not so much call for triple strollers. This means that there is less choice of model and colour. However, triple-strollers.net carry an excellent selection of triple strollers of all styles and prices.
