A simple guide to the triple pushchair
28th September 2009 by Babies No CommentsSingle, twin or triple pushchairs what is the difference. Well quite simply its how many little ones you want to push around!
For many years’ parents with triplets or 3 young children, were not catered for by baby product companies. However the revolution has happened and now there are a number of options available to help parents out.
The added seat is the only real difference to a twin pushchair and so dropping up and down is easy. They can be heavier than twin pushchairs, but many manufactures have tried to bear this in mind and kept weight addition to a minimum.
A triple pushchair comes with easy grip handles as they can be quite wide and so you need control. The seat units are multi position with adjustable calf positions for maximum comfort and adjustable safety belts. The sporty look is very fashionable now and so many of the current models come with pump up tyres, umbrella, detachable hood and shopping basket. They are generally suitable for urban and off road environments (at your own discretion).
These buggies are very stable as they are already wide, so if you only have 2 or 1 child in any deat it will still be safe. Flexibility in seating arrangement is also important, so the following options could be applicable:
3, 2 or 1 normal seat positions
2 normal seat positions and one small baby carrier
1 normal seat position and two small baby carriers
Extra flexibility includes the ability to adjust the seat heights and calf supports to suit each child as they grow. Children under 4 vary in shape and size, so a stroller needs to be able to adjust to small changes in body shape.
As a parent of three children under 4, a triple pushchair is a wise choice.
Another option to remember:
The following idea has been adopted by parents on a budget. Buy a twin pushchair and a single pushchair and attach them using pushchair connectors. This option would save on money but comes with a hassle factor, so parents beware.
