Re: 3 Under 3!!!

I had twins when my DS was 24 months. I bought an SUV that fits seven (Hyundai Veracruz). We haven't used the third row. All three seats fit across the back.

They definitely make a stroller for three. We saw a woman with one. We just bought a double and used the other one we had. If I went out alone, my two year old walked holding the stroller while I pushed (or holding my hand and i pushed with one hand). Not ideal, but he learned quick not to leave my side. I'm thankful he was a good toddler.

Congratulations!

ETA I believe they make a double now where there is a place for a third to stand in front of where you push.

Re: 3 Under 3!!!

Are they all different ages? Or is there a set of twins in there? If the new ones are twins, maybe a double stroller, tandem style with a boogie board for your older DC to stand on? As for your vehicles, you'll have to see what will fit into a regular SUV with just the second row before you decide what you may need that is bigger. I too need 3 seats in my vehicles come November. DH drives a Hyndai Santa Fe and I'm looking into one of the seats for the baby that is smaller than most, so it takes up less space behind the passenger seat so I don't have to get him a new car (I already have a minivan).

Re: 3 Under 3!!!

I had 3 under 2.
My twins were 22mo when DS#3 was born.

The first 6 months, I kept the baby in a Bjorn and just used the double stroller for the twins.

After that, I got a Joovy triple stroller. They are $$$$$$$ but worth it.

DH and I work opposite days so one of us was always alone with the kids. Either of us would take them all food shopping, to bouncy places, wherever. I just forced myself to do it right away after the baby was born so I just got used to it.

We got a mini van. Some SUV's fit 3 car seats. Mini vans are easy though.

Lots of fun! Some days are crazy but the kids are so close in age, I know they will have such fun growing up together!

Congrats!

Re: 3 Under 3!!!

my twins turned 2 a month before my dd was born. its hard, no lie. i needed to buy a big truck that would fit three carseats, so yes a minivan would work too. i never bought a triple stroller, just made them take turns walking with the other two or just the baby in the stroller

Re: 3 Under 3!!!

I'm in the same boat....

I have the city select and will get the standing board for DS#1.

Getting Diono Radian100 car seats for the two older boys, then the baby in the infant carrier - we have a Durango and a Liberty. They are the thinnest car seats out there and are supposed to be fit three across even in a sedan. Ordered mine from Kohls with 30% off and getting Kohls cash!

Good luck! I am terrified - due in a few weeks!
