Recent reviews on the T3 jogger please

[NABA212]

Hi, I have a 16 months old toddler and will have twins in July. I'm looking at triple buggies, but there aren't many out there. I looked at the ABC adventure but I find the toddler seat is too high, I'm only 5.1ft. Does anyone use a T3 and like it?

I have the Valco triple which is basically the same design as the T3 but more heavy duty. I chose it over the ABC as I couldn't see in front of me pushing the ABC and also because you do have to lift the third child awfully high to get them into the toddler seat which i think is a bit risky as they start to get heavier. I know plenty of people love their ABCs though. The T3s are quite a bit cheaper than the ABC and the Valco is maybe a bit more than the T3 but not any where near the cost of the ABC.

I forgot to say that I love my buggy. It is so easy to push, though I don't bother to fold it, just keep it in the garage, so I haven't had much practice at that. They are quite bulky. I've also got a cheap umbrella fold triple which I keep in the car boot, but I wouldn't want to push it very far as it's much harder going with its little wheels, despite being maybe a half or even a third of the weight of the Valco

thanks minderjinx, I hadn't come across Valco pushchairs. They are much lighter than the T3! I don't think I would bother folding it, it probably will sleep in the garage as i dont think our entrance "hall" can accomodate it.

Do you know who sells them in the UK, I keep ending up on US websites

I got mine through an ad on one of the twins/multiple births websites but I can't remember which one, and it is four years old now. It might be worth a googling twins and triplets and having a quick look at these special interest sites to see which retailers are advertising there these days and to see if any mention Valcos or T3s, or if there are any parents privately advertising second hand ones. There is one which sounds just like mine on Preloved at the moment, but with a torn raincover - but I would think you could get a new raincover sent from the US without too much difficulty. Or you could just see if you can order one from the US through a local baby shop.

By the way, ebaby also do a Peg perego triple which I thought looked quite good too, and there's a Joovy triple called the big caboose which I also like.
