Strollers

My son and daughter-in-law are about to have twins 11 months after
their first born.

Has anyone seen or heard of three individual strollers that can be
somehow connected together or disconnected. Seems like it would be
ideal to be able to have individual strollers, or a parent pushing two
and the other, one, or all three connected together.

Does anyone have advice from experience about configuration? Some
strollers are three inline, others are three across and I suppose the
two-one "triangle" configuration exists.

I thought about combo stroller car seats but it seems to me that such
an idea is probably not worthwhile because of the difficulty getting
car seats mounted and unmounted.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean, but we had the "Double Decker
Stroller", and found it very easy to move the carseats (with infants)
from the stroller to the carseat base (in the car), and back. Why do
you think it would be difficult?

They have a triple version. While I've never seen one, this is
certainly what I would get if I had triplets.

WOW, I have never seen a double decker stroller before. Thanks for the link
David. Were you happy with it? What made you choose it over something tike a
Graco duo glider? That is what we have. It seems like the disadvantage to the
DD is that it is only good with the infant seats. With the Duo Glider we used
the infant seats and now that they are not in them any more we can still use
the stroller.
Just curious.

The Double Decker is really convenient because the frame is very
lightweight, so it's easy to get into and out of the car, and it folds
compactly so it doesn't take up much space (e.g., it fit comfortably in
the back of our VW Golf). Also I think it's more maneuverable than the
Duo Glider. As you say, the disadvantage is that it's only good for
infants. But the frame is plenty durable, so we just resold it, for
most of what we paid for it.

Oh David, where were you when our arms were falling off carrying those danged
buckets around?!! I've never seen or heard of those double decker strollers.
And they didn't make twin strollers that allowed for the bucket carseats back
when we had the boys. My DH would have been in heaven!! He's strong, but he
still complains about how heavy those buckets got!

Sorry, I have no advice for the OP. We are too far removed from the days of
strollers to be of any help - but good luck to you!! And congratulations!

I think the Double Decker Stroller was not available before 2000. We
saw one before we bought ours, at a twins club meeting, but I think that
was one of the first ones.
