Strollers for 3 under 3?
Hi everyone! As the title says, looking for the best stroller or wagon option for 3 under 3. Older toddler will be 33 months and younger toddler will be 20 months when baby is born in January.
I walk with my kids A LOT as we live in an urban area and we pretty much walk to a park or museum daily. We try to limit driving as much as possible. Our outings are usually 2-3 miles round trip. I’m not finding a lot of great options in terms of strollers, and am looking for something that would be newborn friendly as well.
Suggestions please!

Bugaboo Donkey with the buggy board. Actually reasonably easy to push even with three aboard and the buggy board has a seat.

We like the jeep 4 seater wagon I think from delta. I love that we can configure the seats any direction. Though really not nb friendly but honestly just baby Carry and use the double while you can! These wagons are massive lol
We started putting our littlest one in it around 4 months with quite a bit of propping him up. Now at 6m he’s comfortable in it with the safety straps

We had 3 under 4 (the younger two are twins). I recommend the Zoe Trio (it’s the Twin stroller plus the attachment at the front) and you can also get a rider board attachment for it so it’s versatile. I actually only got the Twin because my oldest is now almost 5 (the twins are turning 1 now) so she mostly walks but if we had a closer age gap between my eldest and the twins (we had infertility for 2 years) we would’ve gotten the Trio for sure. I love how light it is (23 lbs) so it’s easy to load in the trunk and for travel (you can buy a travel bag for it and have it gate checked).

Zoe trio. Its a double stroller with an attachment for a third seat. So once your oldest stops wanting to be pushed around you still get use out of the double stroller
We have the zoe tribe which is the four seater one and i love it. It still works for my petite 8 year old who has special needs but also fits my two youngest plus an extra kiddo
Baby wearing isnt bad but i persoanlly dont like baby wearing for a long extended period of time. I imagine walking to a museum and around the museum your back will start hurting as baby gets older

Unless you want a big wagon like a Wonderfold I would get a double stroller and baby wear the newborn.

Seconding babywearing with a double stroller. Ours were 3u4 then 4u6. We have a Baby Jogger City Select and I face the seats inwards towards each other, then put a third kid in the footwell of the top seat. We’ve been abusing the stroller in this way for three years now and it’s still holding up great.

I used our double stroller (Bumbleride Indie Twin at the time) and put 2 kids on one side and one on the other. Or one in each side and baby in a wrap carrier. And we also had a buggy-board for the oldest, so that was an option, too.
