Help Me Pick A Triple Stroller

[ABCDEFG]

I am looking for a triple stroller.

I live in an area with city sidewalks. Some are new and some are not. It has to go over bumps here and there without shocking the babies.

It also has to have protection from rain or have something available to protect from rain. I prefer one that has at least one seat that reclines well for small infants, but if not I can just wear them until they get big enough to sit. From the descriptions on these strollers, I can't tell which might be best.

Children using them will all be under 2.

I don't really care if I ever have to fold it up to store it.

Price doesn't matter I have found them all in various places in the same price range ($400-$500). Here are some links.

Do any of you have any of these and what do you have to say about them? Also, open to other suggestions. I hope the links work.

4. http://www.amazon.com/Foundations-Tr...tions+stroller I have the quad version of this one, but front canopy touches a small child's head, and I can't find a rain shield for it.

I'd say #3 or #4. Any of the side by side are just too wide and a pain in the booty.

Although #1 looks pretty nice too... Guess Im not much help !

I like #1. It's not too long IMO.

#2! The jogging strollers are the smoothest rides and soooo much easier to push! I never had a stroller with the bigger tires until my 3rd child and I can't believe the difference. I will never buy any strollers with small wheels again

I had one of the long ones - a joovy caboose and it was almost impossible to turn - I would do one of the wide joggers.

This is the one that I bought a few months ago. I ABSOLUTELY love it. It's pricey, but worth it.

I have the Joey seat that makes it a triple stroller. I can use just the double when I only have 2 kids. You can also buy a step that goes on the back for a 4th child.

I bought it on Amazon and was able to get interest free for 18 mos, so I only have to pay $50 a month for it.

I own the #2 (mine is a different color) and i love it. It so easy to push with the kids in it and I live in the county so we deal with roads and rocks and it glides over them. Turning is so simple that I can do it with one hand. Locks great too.

now when you fold it flat you have to make sure the wheels are a certain way so it folds flat and it is a bit heavy when folded flat. The handle bar has a foam on it, but like all strollers it does split after a while so I did duct tape it. I can also lay the seat flat and acually put another kid in it. The basket is big too. I would love to update it as I bought it second hand it is getting a bit weathered. If you plan on doing alot of walking this one is great.

I would say #3 or #4. I have a much older version of #3 and the only problems I have is that I don't think it folds up, so it's kind of hard to store and very hard to turn. So I like that #3 had the control fot the front wheels and #4 folds.
I didn't read in depth the peg perego website so I'm not sure if that one folds up too.

#1 doesn't have air tires - you definitely want the air tires, much easier to push when fully loaded.

#2 is too side to take anywhere

#3 will NEVER buy another Peg Perrego product

#4 too long, hard to turn, no air tires

I had #3 when I took care of 3 infants last year. When they were really little they didn't fit well in the seats so I had to stuff blankets all around them. The only thing I didn't like about it was once they were all almost one year old it was really hard to push and turn corners... it was a workout! Though, pushing 3 will probably be a workout with any stroller.

I had a peg perego similar to that one.. mine was older.

I have #4 that I use with two 16 month olds and a 23 month old. I'm well under 5 foot and scrawny, and manage it okay over the curbs and turn it around with ease. Difficult going through heavy snow or slush though.

#1 - Looks cool, but I have no experience with it.

#2 - i have an older version of this. It is great! Not great if you need to go through a doorway or put it in your vehicle. It is a beast. Rolls almost as nicely as my BOB. Will fit 2 year olds, but not a 3 year old.

#3 - Had one, didn't like it.

#4 - These long ones are usually hard to turn. But no experience here.

I would also consider the VALCO with a Joey seat as a PP mentioned.

Thanks for all of your input everyone.happyface I think I eliminated 3 & 4 and added the Valco stroller to my list of possibilities.:confused: I really want to like number 1, but I'm just unsure about it.:confused:
