Triple pushchairs are a revolution! They offer parents easy transportation of triplets or three babies quite close in age. They are more compact than you would imagine and offer features such as multi-position recline seats and lockable swivel wheels. Most models are suitable for babies from three months old. A strong advantage is that they are as easy and as quick to manage as conventional twin pushchairs because they fold down to a compact size. Plus they offer easy grip handles for better control.
Some of the features making a journey more comfortable include independently adjustable multi position seat units, adjustable calf positions, adjustable safety harnesses and foam handles.
Most models are sporty looking, have an easily folded umbrella and a sturdy carry handle, which makes lifting easier. Standard accessories include detachable hoods and large co-ordinating shopping baskets.
Triple pushchairs have the advantage of taking up to three children, however not all three children need to be sitting in it at the same time. These buggies remain stable even with two children comfortably sat inside. Also it doesn’t matter if the weight is unevenly distributed between the children, as the pushchair still remains stable. Many manufacturers claim triple pushchairs can be used off road or in town and as such offer a great solution for families with a number of children.
Added benefits include children being able to have their seat adjusted to their own unique position that suits their height and age best. The front wheels often have advanced swivel capability, which makes tight turning easier. They are also lockable to help you steer over rough surfaces.
Many models of triple pushchairs can be set up in different ways dependant on your needs, for example three normal seats or one carrycot and two seats - this adds to the flexibility of owning a triple pushchair.
As you’d expect the downside of triple pushchairs is they are going to be heavier than single or twin pushchairs. However manufacturers do take this into account and try to compensate by making additions such as umbrellas and baskets in more lightweight material. Rest assured a triple pushchair does make life easier if you have three young ones all under the age of 4 years old.
