Bed rest & Stroller choice

Whether to invest in a triplet stroller depends on how much you will use it.
If you like to get out of the house a lot, even in the winter, then it is
*definitely* a good investment, esp. if you get one used. Watch the triplet
connection website's used stroller listings for a few weeks and you may find
someone local trying to get rid of one: www.tripletconnection.org.

IMHO, the Runabout is the best triplet stroller by far ... and it
accommodates older kids / longer legs in the front seat better than any
other because it doesn't have a solid footboard, just "pedal" like foot bars
on each side of the front wheel.

It is also superior in weight, handling, cleanability, durability, value
........ don't get me started! I still miss mine -- and we sold it over 3
years ago!

It handles upto 50# per seat and if possible you should get the basket
(definitely), a cup holder (any one from any store will fit), a sunshade for
your babies' first summer, but don't bother with the rainshield unless you
intend to walk in the rain a lot.

*If* you anticipate staying in your yard and not going too many places for
the twins' first year, a triplet stroller might be OTT, in which case I
personally like the front-back style twin strollers (e.g. Graco's one that
is around $130). There is at least one Graco one that you can clip two car
seats to -- that sounds like a great idea to me. And I have never seen the
Urban Jungle that another poster mentioned, but that sounds interesting.

Hello. I am in my 21st week of pregnancy W/ twins. My doctor just informed
me that I will be put on bed rest at 24 weeks. He said this is standard
practice,but I have many friends w/ twins that have not had bed rest until
the last couple of weeks?!? Any insight? I also have an 18 month old right
now & am not certain if we should get a double stroller or a triple
stroller. Any insight on size or brand?
Thank you!!! Stacey

Hi ladies again,

Here is a conection to information on the Urban Jungle from One Tree Hill

It is expensive but in Europe is known as the Mercedes Benz from the kids
buggies.

That's the Graco DuoGlider. You can buy it with one carseat and buy the
other separately. The stroller alone weighs about 40 pounds. It's the
only thing Graco makes that holds two carseats. The other popular, but
pricer choice, is the Peg Perego Duette, which also holds two carseats
and allows you to have both babies face forwards or face into each other.

I posted here asking stroller questions about a year ago...

We ended up with a Double Snap and Go, one of the frame strollers that
only holds the carseats. It holds almost any brand of carseat but does
not serve as a stroller without them, the way the Graco would. We were
able to purchase ours used and were very happy with it until the boys
were about six months old and moved to their convertible carseats. Then
we got a side by side double stroller that we LOVE, the Peg Perego Twin
Aria. It only weighs 14 pounds!

Strange your doctor would say that.
my wife worked up until 2 days before she gave birth at 9 months +2 days.

No one always or nevers.

Sounds like you might need a triple stroller or just get one of those big
cribs with real wheels on them that I see being pushed around every now and
then.



Good luck and welcome!
