4.0 out of 5 stars Portable stroller for the money, November 26, 2010

We used to have the Peg Perego triplet stroller for our babies when they were first born since the seats fully recline, something not found on the Foundations. Once our babies could sit up, I immediately bought this stroller due to it's quick fold down and portability. My only complaint would be with the wheels, not because they're plastic, but rather because part of the shock mechanism can come apart if it's compressed by the stroller. I found the company very responsive with any replacement parts (had to get a new wheel based on the problem above), they warrany them and will send them free of charge.

Pros:
- Portable for taking in the van/SUV.
- Folds down in one piece, vs assembling like the Peg Perego
- Canvas is easy to clean
- Sun shades have good coverage and are easy to position.
- Run away break (which some find annoying) is very handy for slowing the stroller down on hills or making a quick stop.
- Parts are easy to replace if necessary.
- Good customer service from the company.
- Good manuverability (assuming the front wheel clocks are off).

Cons:
- Can be heavy to load since it's one piece.
- Seats don't fully recline.
- Must be careful not to compress the wheel from the side
- A cup holder or two would be nice.

I would recommend this stroller to anyone that needs to transport triplets or three children; I love it and would buy it again.

This review is from: Foundations Trio Triple Tandem Stroller, Blue (Baby Product)

I am a mom of twin 8 month olds and a 2 year old who doesn't like to stay in one spot. So I looked high and low for an affordable triple stroller. There were quite few. So I decided on this one based on price alone. It definitely is a handy stroller: reclines, has ample shade cover, a decent size basket on bottom, and steers quite easily. The few things I've noticed that kinda suck: there is no adult caddy (ie: key holder, drink holder, etc), the basket has a slender opening so it's hard to fit a diaper bag under, and while pushing you have to hold the break down which gets a good hand workout and gets a little exhausting while pushing 3 20-30 pounders around. I definitely get a good workout when I push them around awhile. I think so far it's of good quality though and while it may be difficult to fit in some cars, I found that, with one seat down the twins fit in back and toddler up front, I can technically fit the stroller in the hatch back and all kids in my dodge caliber. Hope this helps and good luck!

4.0 out of 5 stars Not meant for infants... need to update descrption!, March 25, 2011

This review is from: Foundations Trio Triple Tandem Stroller, Blue (Baby Product)

I bought this stroller after speaking to a rep from Foundations who assured me that the rear seat would fully recline to accommodate a newborn. (An infant carrier does not work with this, so the recline position would be the only way to safely transport a newborn in the stroller.)Even the written description here on Amazon says it is perfect for infants. However, once I opened the box, I discovered that the rear seat does not recline at all. I called Foundations again, and someone tried to tell me it does recline, but they finally went to look at the model in their showroom, and learned that I was right. The prior model did, but not this one. Unfortunately, this has to be boxed up again and shipped back. It's great that Amazon is so understanding about the mishap, but frustrating that I had to order it and get it home before learning that it won't work for my family right now.
