    Stroller help for twin two year olds AND a newborn..

    So, it seems that I am pregnant again (on my own!) and came to the realization that I need a means to move the twins and their newest sibling - any ideas or strollers out there for this?

    Congratulations!

    I don't have any recommendations either. But I have to say that by 2 my girls would not sit in a stroller (actually they rarely sat in a stroller after 1) - one would get herself out and RUN, the other cried bloody murder unless I carried her. We didn't go out much, and when we did I went with DH or my Mom and used 2 umbrella strollers.

    Congratulations!!

    How old will the twins be when the baby comes??
    I don't think I would invest in a triplet stroller or anything. Options would be to put baby in a carrier and twins in the stroller, or let the twins alternate walking and riding. Otherwise, I'd bring someone along and put one in a cheap single umbrella or something. We didn't use the stroller much after 2 1/2 or so. They make those single strollers with a place for a toddler to stand and ride (I forget the name), but not sure there would be room for two standing and they would probably fight/bug each other anyway.

    I have the duo glider for the twins and I did baby wearing with the newborn. It was very easy. The twins were 2.5yr old when baby was born. Now that Abby is 1yr old she is in a separate stroller and i still use the duo glider for the twins who are 3yr old. My husband and I do everything together with the kids. Malls, grocery shopping, ect

    I strongly recommend a triple stroller. I have the Valco tri mode twin. It is seriously the best stroller ever. I had a two year old singleton when I had my twins and then had another baby when my twins were fourteen months old. It's just so convenient to be able to strap them in when you need to. This stroller allowed me a lot of freedom to get out with all of the kids on my own. I used it for everything. Shopping, parks, library. It's nice because it is the same size as a standard side by side double, pushes like a dream even one handed, and fits through regular doors.

    My oldest is now 4, my twins are 2, and my baby is 1 and we still use it quite a lot. The bigger kids all like to walk but it's great to be able to toss them in when I want/they want and I can even get all four of them in there if I need to.


    Also, even though the infant carrier doesn't technically "snap" in while the toddler seat is attached our Chicco seat sat pretty securely between the regular seat and the toddler seat. It was an added bonus because I origionally thought that I would have to take the baby out of the car seat whenever we went anywhere.

    It was expensive, but worth every penny. I have no regrets.
    Just google valco baby tri mode twin and you should be able to find it.

    Cool
    It looks like your twins will be about 2 when your new baby is born. I can definitely see either going with a double and using a baby carrier for the baby or a triple stroller. I had my single and then my twins. I couldn't decide on a triple stroller. So, I ended up with a double. It worked out well actually. I wore one baby on me and had the other baby and the older boy in the stroller. But, I could definitely see wanting a triple too.

    When I had my second set of twins, I got a quad. Most people didn't think I needed it because my older set was 27 months. But, I felt like with twin toddlers and twin newborns, I really needed to be able to contain everyone. I always say, "containment is key to safety and sanity." LOL! Now that I'm having my 3rd set of twins, I'm very glad I haven't sold my quad yet, because I'm going to need it again. Crazy.

    The Valco is one I was strongly leaning toward. Because I eventually needed a quad, I ended up getting this and you can get it in a triple too. The cool thing is you can take the upper seat(s) off and have it just be a double. Another bonus is you can use it with newborns. Most the babies have to be 6 mos or able to sit up. I love ours and am glad we get to use it again!

    This is the triple. I got the quad. Triple Pram | Triplet Pram | ABC Adventure Triple Buggy

    I believe the Baby Jogger City Mini and City Select are compatible with a glider board. There is also the car seat adaptor so you can fit one of the twins plus the baby. My twins are close in age to yours, and I don't think the glider board would work for us yet. Good luck!

    congrats on your pregnancy! A friend of mine has the Valco Tri Mode Twin, and she is very happy with it (uses it for her twins all the time). There is an optional third seat.
