The Best Triple Strollers for Growing Families
A stroller is one of the most essential pieces of baby gear, and it can be hard to find one that best fits your family’s needs—especially when those needs include carting around three little ones. But shopping for triple strollers doesn’t need to come with triple the stress. To streamline your decision-making process:
- We did extensive research, leveraging our familiarity with leading baby brands and relying on our own experiences as parents, narrowing the field to only the most popular, reliable and innovative triple strollers available today.
- We read user reviews to see how these products held up for families, and didn’t consider anything with less than an average four-star rating.
- We evaluated triple strollers for ease of pushing and steering, folding and unfolding, ease of use, features, style and design, value for money and, of course, safety.
- We sent some strollers to product testers to evaluate them under real-world conditions.

Overall best triple stroller
- Can be converted to a double or quad stroller
- Meets Disney size requirements
- Two child cup holders and a parent cup holder
- Folds in two pieces
Triple strollers are hard enough to come by—let alone one that’s lightweight, compact, easy to maneuver and relatively affordable. The Zoe Trio checks all of those boxes and more: It is just over 30 pounds (which is less than many double strollers), fits in most trunks when folded and through most doorways when open, and is on the lower-end price-wise compared to most triple strollers on the market today. Other bonuses that make this the best triple stroller include its ability to become either a double or quad stroller and its multiple included accessories (hello, cup holders!). It’s a parent’s—especially a parent of triplets—dream stroller.
Dimensions (open): 30" (L) x 49" (W) x 43" (H) | Dimensions (folded): 29" (L) x 26.3” (W) x 7" (H) | Weight: 32 lbs. | Weight capacity: 45 lbs. per seat | Car seat compatible: Yes (front seat only)
Best triple stroller with car seat attachments
- Fits three car seats
- Can be folded with or without the toddler seats attached
- Seats can be forward or rear-facing
- Stroller is sold base-only, seats are extra
Looking for a triplet stroller that will work from day one through toddlerhood? Look no further than the PegPerego Triplette Piroet Atmosphere. This is a stroller frame that fits three infant car seats (with no adapters needed) in a row—but can also be configured to hold three toddler seats (that all recline and have a footrest), forward or rear facing. And though this stroller is quite long, it is easy to maneuver and push, thanks to its suspension and wheels with ball bearings.
Dimensions (open): 68.8" (L) x 22.5" (W) x 43" (H) | Dimensions (folded): 59.5" (L) x 22.5" (W) x 16.8" (H) | Weight: 34 lbs. (chassis only) | Weight capacity: 45 lbs. per seat | Car seat compatible: Yes
Best triple tandem stroller
- Fits through most doorways
- Each seat has a canopy and five-point harness
- Features large storage baskets
- Not suitable for babies younger than 6 months
- Doesn’t fold flat
Parents or caregivers looking to keep all their ducks—or little ones—in a row will love this triple tandem stroller. The Foundations Trio Sport allows three children to sit comfortably in a row, with seats that each have their own retractable, UV-blocking canopy. It’s not only a joy for children to ride in, but also beloved by parents—thanks to its relatively affordable price, large storage basket and easy fold. What’s not to love?
Dimensions (open): 58.5" (L) x 21" (W) x 41" (H) | Dimensions (folded): 49" (L) x 21" (W) x 20" (H) | Weight: 34 lbs. | Weight capacity: 120 lbs. | Car seat compatible: No
Best triple stroller with sit and stand
- Comes with two universal car seat adaptors
- 100% recycled fabric
- Sun shade also protects the rear seat
- Can be difficult to steer
Traveling with twins (or two babies close in age) and a toddler in tow is no easy feat, but the Joovy Big Caboose Triple Stroller can make things a little easier. Its design features two car-seat-compatible, forward-facing, reclining seats—complete with higher seat backs and shoulder padding for extra comfort. Then, your toddler can ride on the rear bench seat or built-in platform, depending on their age, independence and preference. Extra bonuses for parents include loads of storage (on the sides, underneath and in the included parent organizer) and a one-step brake.
Dimensions (open): 44" (L) x 22" (W) x 42" (H) | Dimensions (folded): 61" (L) x 22" (W) x 15" (H) | Weight: 30.8 lbs. | Weight capacity: 55 lbs. per seat | Car seat compatible: Yes
Best three-seat stroller wagon
- Wheels are easily removed for storage
- Can be folded and unfolded with one hand
- Comes with a child snack tray included
- Not a ton of storage
Is a wagon more your speed? Our favorite is the three-seater option from BOB Gear. Not only does it feature three individual seats, each with its own five-point harness and UPF50+ sun canopy, but it also provides a super-smooth ride thanks to all-terrain wheels and a suspension system. Another fun feature is the handle, which allows the wagon to be pushed or pulled (your preference) and comes equipped with two parent cup holders.
Dimensions (open): 49.6" (L) x 28.6" (W) x 38.6" (H) | Dimensions (Folded): 41.7" (L) x 28.6" (W) x 18.5" (H) | Weight: 42 lbs. | Weight capacity: 165 lbs. | Car seat compatible: No
Best triple stroller alternative
- Has more than 19 configurations
- Can be folded with one hand
- Stands when folded
- Third rider can only stand
For a stroller that will adapt to your family’s changing needs (and growing size), our favorite is the Mockingbird Single-to-Double Stroller. It has all the bells and whistles you’d expect out of a stellar single stroller (one-hand fold, fully-reclining seat, extra-large storage basket), but also easily converts to a double—and offers 19 different seating combinations in that mode to meet a variety of needs. If your family keeps growing, the Mockingbird has a convenient riding board accessory for older children to catch a ride, as well. And if you’re worried that this convertible marvel will be overly complicated or difficult to switch between modes, our product tester put this stroller through its paces as a single and double stroller, testing both the seats and the board, and she told us, “The stroller, in both single and double format, was incredibly easy to use.”
You may have heard about Mockingbird’s recall of single-to-double strollers in late 2022. Since then the stroller has been reengineered, with reinforced frame tubing and a thicker core, a redesigned crossbar and new connection points. We asked our product tester to assess the design of the Mockingbird Single-to-Double, and she told us, “The metal of the frame seems to be of good quality.”
Dimensions (open): 33" (L) x 25.5" (W) x 40" (H) | Dimensions (folded): 25.5" (L) x 18" (W) x 34" (H) | Weight: 26.5 lbs. | Weight capacity: 45 lbs. per seat | Car seat compatible: Yes
“This stroller is stylish and functional, and I love that I can feel confident in my ability to quickly open and close it with one hand while navigating shopping trips with my two babies on my own.”
Stroller shopping can be overwhelming, but selecting a triple stroller is a different ball game entirely. Not only do you need to consider the same factors that you would with a typical, single-rider stroller—things like maneuverability, safety and car seat compatibility, to name a few—but there are also issues specific to triple strollers that parents and caregivers need to consider before making a selection. Here are certain factors to keep top of mind when selecting a triple stroller for your family.
- Seat configuration. Parents of triplets will need a triple stroller that features three of the same seat, while families with twins and a toddler (or three little ones close in age) might need a stroller that offers a combination of seating (such as a riding board and two seats). Knowing what configuration works best for your family will help to narrow down the triple stroller options from the get-go.
- Comfort. Your tiny travelers will be much happier if they’re comfortable in their triple stroller. Some features to look out for are reclining seats, leg room (particularly in a tandem-style triple stroller), padded shoulder straps and canopies to block out the sun—all of which can help make a ride in a triple stroller more pleasant.
- Maneuverability. Triple strollers can be heavy and unwieldy. Before you make a selection, check the stroller’s weight and width (32 inches clears most doorways). Also, be sure to take it for a spin to see how easily it pushes and turns.
- Fold and size. With three little ones in tow, you need a triple stroller that is easy to pack up and go. Several feature flat folds and removable wheels, both of which make for easier storage and transport, and some even come with one-handed folding mechanisms—and anything that keeps a hand free is a win in our book. Also, be sure to double-check a triple stroller’s folded dimensions (and see if the wheels are easily removable) to ensure it will fit in your car’s trunk.
- Storage. Parents of triples or three little ones come with lots of stuff. Luckily, many triple strollers come with extra-large storage baskets and other handy storage features like mesh pockets or organizers.
- Safety. As with any stroller—or any piece of baby or child gear—safety needs to be a foremost consideration. The harness is what will keep your little ones safe and secure while riding in a stroller; a five-point harness is ideal for babies and young toddlers.
