If you've been blessed with triplets, are a nanny, or have three little ones close in age, a triple buggy will let you push your babies around without needing an extra pushchair or pram or spare pair of hands. Unfortunately, triple buggies are surprisingly hard to come by in the UK, but we've listed those available to buy right now.
If you have two babies and a toddler, you may want to consider a double buggy instead, paired with a buggy board for them to ride on. Pick a buggy board with a seat, and it's just like having a third buggy space for your tot. It is an easy way to broaden your options.

Triple buggies available in the UK
Best for taking on transport
Perfect for parents constantly on the move, the Kids Kargo triple stroller is lightweight with an umbrella fold mechanic that's easy to collapse, erect, and store. Seated side-by-side, your little ones can sit comfortably with padded seats and an adjustable leg rest from birth.
As well as having an array of safety features, we love that the stroller is arranged into three individual seats with their own canopy and pockets; you can cater each seat to each child and keep their baby bits stored in their own section. While it's convenient for getting multiple children safely to their destination, one parent mentioned that it doesn't fit through double doors so may not be great for heading to the shops, "Doesn't fit through double doors, can't get into the local Co-op unless we drag it in sideways. Good for getting from A to B", she said.
At just 19kg it's lighter than others on our list and while some parents felt it was still quite heavy, they did think it was do-able for a triple buggy. One parent mentioned it's "a lot lighter than others and easy to fold" while another agreed, noting that it "folds up to not much bigger than a double pushchair, easily fits in the boot of a car."

The Familidoo stroller is recommended from 6 months but we'd say it's best suited to toddlers, though the rear seat is suitable for smaller babies who need to recline more. Across the three seats, the stroller has two canopies, an extremely spacious shopping basket, and colourful storage pockets on the back.
The strong primary colours are sure to engage your little ones, it's packed with safety features that conform with safety standards; a removable bumper bar, side protection, footrest, rigid aluminium frame, five-point harness and a lockable foot brake for extra safety.

The front wheels can rotate for easy turning and lock for straight travel, while the rear wheels are equipped with a brake for added safety.
It's designed to grow with your children, from birth up to 15kg (though it's worth bearing in mind that the seats don't recline).

What to look for in a triple buggy
While your options may be limited, there are features worth looking out for to determine which triple buggy is right for you and your babies.
Fold
There's no denying that triple buggies are hefty pieces of equipment, so it's essential your buggy folds down for storage. Different folds can include an umbrella fold, ideal for an instant collapse to fit on transport, or a more traditional fold that may take longer but is a stronger build best suited for long walks.
Weight
You'll be carrying three children, and that's pretty heavy cargo. Therefore, you'll want a lightweight pushchair that's easy to manoeuvre. Triple buggies in the UK range from 17kg to 33kg.
Age range
This is a key consideration if you're looking to accommodate children from a range of ages or get the most from your triple buggy. Whilst the majority are suitable from birth to three years old, you'll find some, such as the Familidoo, are suitable from six months and have upper weight restrictions. If your child is too old to be in a buggy, you may want to use a buggy board instead.
Recline
Most triple buggies will have independently reclining seats which are crucial if you're pushing a baby who needs to lie flat and a toddler who wants to watch the world go by. Seating positions can range from lying down to upright, with some settings in between.
Safety features
To keep your little one safe and snug, a harness is needed in a buggy. The five-point harness is the safest and most secure. In different models, you can also find other safety features, including side protection, a bumper bar, reflector strips, head huggers, and more.
Storage basket
If you've got triplets, there are going to be plenty of baby travel accessories needed to keep them happy on the move. From bottles and toys to nappies, babies and toddlers come with quite a lot of baggage, and then there's the space you need for your own supplies and shopping. Make sure your triple buggy has an ample under-carriage storage basket to meet your needs.
Rain cover
If you thought a triple buggy was hard to come by in the UK, try finding a rain cover! For this reason, we'd recommend looking for those that come with a rain cover included. Doing this will prevent your little one from getting caught in a downpour and you the hassle of sourcing one independently.
Configuration
Across these buggies, you'll see a complete range of seat positioning – do you want your little ones sitting side by side, one behind the other, or facing different directions? Some, like the Peg Perego, give you the option to configure this yourself, whilst the Kids Kargo allows tots to sit side-by-side, and the Familidoo has them sitting behind one another.
