Strollers for Twins + One
Let’s talk about stroller options for your twins plus one other child. You could have a singleton child and then you have the twins, or you could have the twins and then you have a singleton child. Some of these configurations I talk about below can work for either one of these scenarios. The premise of a lot of the twin strollers I mention below are that you have a standard double stroller with some kind of add-on like a standing stool or a third seat attachment. Thus a lot of double strollers right out of the box are not going to handle twins plus one. They’re built for double occupancy, and then you still to install some kind of add-on attachment. But first, let me share what worked for us. What We Did with Our Twins Plus Two We didn’t have twins plus one, we had twins plus two. We already had two toddler boys when our identical twin girls were born. We had four kids, ages three and younger, and we had to solve the same dilemma of how to transport everybody where they needed to go. We already knew that we had the two toddlers and we knew we had the twins coming. We got the inline Snap-n-Go stroller where their car seats could snap into the frame with one girl in front of the other behind. We used that stroller while the twins were infants and they were in their infant car seats. At that phase of our adventure, our toddler boys just walked around. Alternatively, we also had wearable baby carriers, Baby Bjorns . So my wife could wear a baby in the Bjorn and I had the other baby in a Bjorn. For example, we went to Disneyland when our girls where still babies . We took a double umbrella stroller that was the pack mule for our toddler boys, the twins when needed, and it carried our diaper bags and stuff. My wife and I each wore one of the twins in a Baby Bjorn on our chest. That way we were able to maneuver everybody around through the crowds. This same setup also worked when we were out in public at the grocery store or when we went for a walk. You can be creative in how you’re carrying the twins. You could wear them, toddlers could walk, you can get a stroller, and you can get dedicated strollers with attachments that will fit twins plus one, which is what we’re going to talk about right now. Here are some popular solutions for strollers for twins plus one: Valco Double Stroller with Joey Third Seat Use the Valco double stroller with an extra jump seat. This is a standard side by side double stroller, but it has an attachment that sits on the front so that your plus one kid is right up in the front. The third child sits in front of your twins. Your twins are going to be sitting side by side, and they’re going to be staring straight ahead and seeing the back of this little attachment chair that fits in the front. Sometimes these attachments are called joeys like the baby kangaroos that sit up front in momma’s pouch. To create this twins plus one stroller setup for your family, you’ll need these two pieces: Valco Baby Trend Duo double stroller – this a standard side-by-side stroller for your twins. Valco Baby Tri Mode Duo X Toddler Seat – this is the front seat joey-style attachment Zoe Trio Another option is from Zoe. There’s the twin model of the Zoe stroller and there’s a trio version where instead of a joey seat like the Valco, you basically have a single stroller that sits in front of the double stroller. At first glance, it looks like your double stroller rear ended and attached to a single stroller in some kind of sidewalk collision. This kind of stroller setup requires that your kids are old enough to hold up their own heads. This makes for an extra long train of babies that you’re going to be pushing around. If you need a little shorter, more compact solution, consider the other options we’re discussing here. Bugaboo Donkey + Ride On Board If you haven’t heard about the Bugaboo Donkey, it is not priced like a donkey. It is priced more like a thoroughbred racing horse. It is one of the most expensive stroller options out
