We're looking for some feedback on triplet strollers. My daughter likes the ABC stroller from New Zealand, but is also looking at a few other options. the ABC has the two side by side and then a click in one on the handle area. any thoughts? Also any items that someone is selling would be of interest too. Thanks!

I have had a few triplet strollers, and all have good/bad points.

The Inglesina Domino is great for infants, as all seats can recline and have sun shades that completely clamshell closed. It is also great for toddlers when you remove the sunshades and the belly-bars can adjust for larger kids (the seats are rated for kids upto 45 or 50 lbs). However, it is a bit heavy and needs to be taken apart to fit in the back of the minivan.

The Runabout was great for when my kids were young toddlers and up to preschool. Easy to stroll on paved or rough terrain, kids were comfortable and contained, and the sunshade was nice. The 3-in-a-row design is easy to maneuver through doorways and tight festivals or shopping areas. I got some cute seat covers on Etsy from Karen (a triplet mom on this site) who does great work. You can often find them used for a reduced price. However, also a bulky stroller and needed some disassembly to fit in the back of the minivan.

The Foundations stroller is great for infants who can sit and younger toddlers. It was AWESOME and gave me freedom when the kids needed so much care on outings because it folds down to fit in the back of the minivan with no disassembly. The kids were comfortable (although not able to really recline), and the fabric was easy to care for as it wiped clean (had a coating on the fabric), and easy to steer. It has a handbreak that engages when you are not pushing it, so that took some getting used to. Again, 3-in-a-row design has it's pluses. Still fairly heavy, and it got hard to steer and was really too small for my kids as they neared 2 years old.

The choo choo wagon is handy. We had the 4 wagons, so there was a place to stash a diaper bag or shopping or toys for the park if out for a walk. My kids are nearly 4 and 1/2 years old and we still use it sometimes. It's nice for going to festivals and the like... "go ahead kids, have the sticky ice cream". We could hose it down with a little soapy water and it's good as new! The wagons came apart to all fit in the back of the minivan as well. Not appropriate for infants, though.

I tried the triple Joovy big caboose for a short time... but it was way too hard to steer. Didn't like it.
