Triple Jogging Strollers – and Which is the Best

So everyone knows what to buy if they were blessed with troublesome twins, but what happens when you have triplets? What many people don’t know is that there is actually a solution for this that doesn’t involve cramming any of the kids into tight spaces or leaving one behind (sigh).

With a triple jogging stroller, all three kids and parent can travel comfortably as they are extremely easy to push and do not take up much room, despite being fairly large. But triple jogging strollers can be expensive, and you may wonder if it’s worth it. The real question should be isn’t your baby worth it?

Many major brand manufacturers of jogging strollers like BOB, Instep, Baby Trend, Jeep , Joovy, and Schwinn which you will find in our reviews do not make a lot of single and double versions of their jogging strollers, but do not produce them in triple. This could be because their are more demands for the single and double strollers.

Baby Jogger however, produced what is my favorite triple baby jogger, the Baby Jogger Summit 360 triple jogging stroller. I am really disappointed that parents are unable to buy this top quality triple stroller at present.  It has been unavailable for a while, and is no longer listed on Baby Jogger products.  This has lead to speculations that even though the Summit 360 was the best triple jogging stroller I have seen so far, Baby Jogger may be pulling out of the triple jogger market.

UPDATE ==>> The Triple Trio Baby Jogger is currently unavailable on Amazon. It is really strange, but manufacturers seem to be taking their Triple jogging strollers off the market, and they are not introducing new models. Typical example is my favorite, the  Baby Jogger Triple jogger. It’s been awhile it was discontinued, and there is no replacement yet.

I am not a great fan of the BeBeLove triple jogging stroller and at some point it was the only options available on Amazon as better triple joggers were discontinued.  However, the Valco Baby Tri-Mode Twin EX Stroller with optional conversion to a triple jogger is becoming very popular with active parents that need to go jogging with three kids.

Styles of Triple Jogging Strollers

There two main designs of triple strollers, the side by side, and the tandem stroller styles. Both have their advantages and drawbacks, and which ever style you prefer will depend on how and where you plan to use the triple jogging stroller.

Side by Side Triple Baby Joggers

The triple side by side jogging stroller consists of three seats in a row, making it considerably wider than the tandem stroller. However, it allows the kids to engage in some baby bonding time, as they are not kept apart, unlike the tandem stroller. You can also keep a much needed eye on all three kids at one time as they are not hidden from view. Furthermore all kids can enjoy the window seat, and no arguments will ensue about who gets to be in front!

Tandem Triple Jogging Strollers

The triple tandem stroller is more practical for the more adventurous parents as it consist of three seats, one behind the other. This makes it much slimmer, and streamline allowing easy navigation through narrow corridors. It is also easier to push as there is smaller hand difference, which allows you to jog in comfort.

Benefits and Downsides of Triple Jogging Strollers

Pros:

• They are very easy to fold, which allows for easy storage, whether it’s in the back of the care or under the stairs.
• Unfortunately, not all kids are asleep when they should be. Triple jogging strollers tend to have individually inclining seats, so some kids can sleep while the others are still wide awake.
• Large basket area leaves a lot of space for virtually anything you can’t carry.
• Foot rests can be individually adjusted so any sized child can ride comfortably.
• They often come with rain a canopy to keep your children dry or eyen protect them from the sun
• The safety belts are strong and allow you an easy mind while you jog about the safety of you children.

Cons:

If you don’t install or use your stroller properly and follow manufacturers instructions, you may not experience the full benefits of a triple jogger:

• They are quite heavy, as expected, but triple jogging strollers are extremely easy to push and navigate around corners.
• The wheels may be seen as ‘faulty’ if they are not correctly fitted to the triple jogging stroller, or if the stroller is not used properly. When buying your triple jogging stroller, talk to a member of staff about which wheels are right for you, and ensure that you don’t exceed the maximum weight. This will allow you to push the stroller with ease and navigate easily.

• Some people have said that they have found the triple jogging stroller to large. However, as they do come in different sizes, make sure you have enough space in storage for the size you want before purchase. If you find that it is too large, smaller triple jogging strollers are still made for three children and should be just as comfortable.
• The side by side triple jogging strollers can be quite wide, and therefore harder to navigate through narrow spaces.
• Triple joggers are rarely compatible with infant car seats, perhaps in the tandem triple, but not in the side by side strollers because of their wide size, and problem with stability if fitted with car seat.
