I have the peg perego book 2. I currently can put 4 kids in it. I just slide the seat to a recline and the kids sit one in front holding onto belly bar with feet on footrest and the other in the back. When I have a newborn the newborn gets strapped into a seat on their own and sometimes if needed an older child can still sit on the front of that seat as the newborn feet don't reach till the end of the seat anyway. The kids are all happy and comfortable. The stroller pushes amazing.

It may not be "legal" but my kids love it and know to sit nicely.

Isn’t that too much weight?

Triple stroller. I had a triple in line, like three kinds in a row in front of me. And I had a triple jogger which is good for walks but doesn't go into a car or stores.

I had 3 under 3 until my big guy turned 3 a couple weeks ago. I used the baby carrier and the double when my baby was very small, then we upgraded to a buggy board with a rope thing that ties around his wrist and the stroller so he can't wander too far. Now he learned to stay on the board and if not to walk nicely

Interesting thanks for all the ideas.
Carrying a baby would only work while they’re light weight.
The thing is I have to buy a single stroller anyway and I really don’t want to buy another stroller as well. Do these attachments/seats go to any stroller? Or only a specific one?

Baby wearing works for all ages, not just lightweight infants. When they get bigger you put them in a soft structure carrier on your back. Not uncomfortable at all with the right positioning.

Amazingly no. My kids are age 5,4,3, and almost 2. It's worked out fine so far.

I don't have it, but I think Joovy makes a caboose stroller that's a triple (the regular is double). There's an option to sit or stand for the oldest.

I had a Graco front and back one kid in the front , one kid in the back, and one kid on the foot rest in between the 2 seats.

It some how worked, you can try a double Jogger with a bar in front, Isee people sticking 3 kids in them-make show it has the bar.

Some wagons you can put newborns you just have to do your research on them

And their combined weight is under the weight limit of the seats and undercarriage basket?

They're only just starting to exceed the limit. But the 5 yr old isn't so interested in sitting in stroller anymore. So he will squeeze in when he's just too tired or hot. But it was totally fine when I had 3 and when the 4th was a newborn.

I use a double and baby carrier. The LO in the carrier is already 13 months average weight and it's no problem. Sometimes I'll put baby in one seat when I get tired of carrying and the 2 older ones will share a seat, one in front and one tucked behind holding on to his waist lol

I used an Uppababy Vista, with the second seat and the skateboard. Often, I could wear the baby. (Invest in a good carrier like a Tula.)

My SIL also has 3 under 3. She has the Bugaboo Donkey (the side by side seats) and she would use one seat for the baby and the other seat set up as a bassinet and would let the older ones sit in it together like they're in a wagon.

EDIT: Also wanted to point out - my older kids LOVED the skateboard! Sometimes both of them wanted to stand on it at the same time, so on more than one occasion I was pushing a stroller with empty seats, two kids on the skateboard, and a baby in a carrier.

I put 2 kids on one side of my double city mini. The baby has his own seat and the 5 yr old in front of 3 yr old on the other side... Not recommended from a safety standpoint, but we have never felt unsafe. And hey... It works

I've seen this "crib on wheels" contraption used by private daycares in Israel. They'd put about 5 babies in them then take them outside on walks. Google עגלול and look at pictures. I don't know what it would be called in English.

I wouldn't put a newborn in because the toddlers might trample him, but maybe when he got to be 4 months or so. Until then you could use a double stroller + carrier.

I have a 3.5 year old now. Even though she's able to walk, it is easier and more enjoyable for all of us if she can ride in the stroller at least part of the way.

But at that point the board on back is fine

In America they are called Stroller wagons some of them you can have toddlers and newborns at the same time(not many and you have to relay search).

Do you live in Lakewood? Mrs. Friedman on Carey st.(across from Rock Bottom-the house that looks like a yard sale)is selling a triple stroller for $10 not a bad price to try it out.

Joovy has a stroller that goes from a single to a triple, I have no idea how it pushes. I know someone who brought a Mt Buggy triple and is very happy with it.
