I have a 22 month old son and 2 six week old twins. I did a LOT of internet research, and this is the best of what's out there for my needs.
Positives:
Price is reasonable-lots of triple strollers are in the $800 and up range. This ones averages around $300.

Fits most infant carseat buckets and holds TWO of them...I haven't found any other triple that will do this.

Easy to put together, fold up and change configuration as your needs change.

My toddler can either stand or sit on the tandem area.
Negatives:
It's big! They give the dimensions...use them..measure it out to make sure it will fit in your vehicle. It does not fit in the back of my minivan, but it does fit in the middle with a seat folded down.

The seat for the toddler is NOT for a kid who needs plush comfort. It's a small bench with a strap. It works out well for my kiddo, because he likes to alternate between standing and sitting, and he's not fussy when it comes to being comfortable.

You need to have some muscles! The carriage is 35lbs w/o kids and buckets.

All in all, this suited my needs. I haven't found anything out their better for the double infants + toddler combo!

I bought this stroller after much research and debate. I have owned my fair share of strollers and while this has some downsides, I think it is the best for the money. I have a 5, 4, 2 and newborn. With the baby in the front in carseat, I can put the 2 year old in back and have either the 4 or 5 sit. It is still easy to steer with all 3. It does take some "ummph" to turn when loaded, but that is understandable. If I put the baby in the back then theolder child has to stand, which is a problem, but who wants this stroller to be longer? I have a honda odyssey and it fits fine in my trunk, I don't haveto put seats down. I do have to take off front tray and shade, but I had to do this with every double or triple I have owned. Takes like 5 sec to snap it back on. My husband loves this because the handle bar is tall (he is 6'2") and we purchased the essentials organizer which is great to hold drinks etc. I like that I can reach down between the seats into the basket to get stuff out. The wheels roll very smoothly. I amvery happy with my purchase and every I see tells me how cool my stroller is.... the "limo" of strollers I have been told.

I bought this stroller to get around with my 3 children (3-1/2, 2, and 7 months) and I think it is great; especially for the price compared to other triple strollers. My 2 and 3 year olds both love the sit and stand platform and my 7 month old loves the second seat which is higher than the front seat - allowing her to see the world.
..I saw some negative reviews saying that it was hard to steer and flimsy. I think anything with three kids in it is going to be hard to steer unless it's a car! The metal is lightweight, yet durable, but I don't feel it's flimsy. My two and three year old boys are like crazy monkeys and have really given this thing a workout. The five point harness is great for strapping them in..or at least it makes them take longer to figure out how to get out.

I will say it's big, though. I have a Nissan Armada (which is like driving a bus) and I have to put down one of the third row seats to get it to fit.) Also, the trays are a little difficult to snap off, but maybe this will get easier with wear.

Overall, I think this is a great stroller for the price.

I was reading the other reviews and decided to submit a short to the point opinion. This stroller seats my 3 under 3 comfortably, it is light and easy to push. It IS BULKY - but it IS A TRIPLE STROLLER!!

Overall I am very happy with it and love the "strap everyone into a seat concept." I get a lot more done fast.

Very Happy!!

Overall, remember that this is a big stroller, it collapses flat but long. It is a triple stroller, so if all you need is a double, or you do not have a large vehicle - do not buy this - If you have three children you would like to have all in one place and you have the room to transport this - Buy it!! we did !!

I bought this before my fifth child was born. (FYI: My oldest just turned six and weighs about 38lbs.) Using it with three youngest older children was difficult, but better than the alternative. My children are all on the small side so it wasn't too dificult to push with three. Not so easy to turn with someone in the front seat. However, when my daughter arrived, I hated this stroller and decided to go to a double and use a buggy board like I had previously. Must easier to handle and better for infants and storage. Plus, I can lay my infant down flat and my one year old is still strapped in. My three year old can jump on and off and catch a ride when she needs to without the bulk of the Joovy.

Pros
Basket is huge and great for packing full from the mall.
Lots of room between seats.

Cons
Back seat does not recline. You must use the infant seat everytime for head and neck support.
Foam handle is easily ripped.
Way to long to fit in most trunks even with canopy removed.
DOES NOT come with parent organizer like state in description. Must purchase seperately.
Wheels too far apart making it difficult to turn.
Back seat always falls though frame, sometimes even with my son riding.(Yes, the seat is a board that "sits" on the metal frame)
Overall, probably as light as it could be, but still very heavy.
The third seat moves so you can access the storage better, however the seatbelt runs accross the back so you still don't have great access and the seat in turn moves and makes my children fell like they are sliding under the back seat all the time and they end up having to lean forward.

My final conclusion, GREAT if you don't need it for an infant and you have your husband to load and unload and pack it in and out. I figure that my priority is my infant. I can carry her in my sling and use this, but then why not just let the older ones walk and save the headaches of lugging this around.

I have infant twins and a two year old. I love the concept of the stroller... But;(1)not a great deal of room for my two year old with the infant seats on. (2)I have to put my whole body into turns, it also feels like it could tip with two car seats and a two-year old (3)The "jump seat" for the two-year old doesn't stay in place, it scoots back, which causes him to lean forward and eventualy I have to stop, and pull the seat back up. It needs a locking mechanism. (4)it absolutely will not fit into a bathroom stall at the mall, so take a friend and take turns watching the kids. I think that without the infant car seats, the whole thing would work better. I returned mine though, I need the infant seats on for a while. I am looking for another solution besides a leash for the two-year old :)

It is the only option out there for a mother of 3 under 17 months old.
Full triple strollers do NOT fit in any car. This fits in my Grand caravan.
Lightweight for what it is.
Hard to manuver, but it is to be expected.
My only real grip is I wish they would have moved the 2nd seat up a bit to give the child in th rear a bit more room.

I have to say that I LOVE this stroller. I have an almost 4 year old, an almost 2 year old and a newborn and they ALL fit in this stroller perfectly. The attachments for the carseat are great. It is easy to pop it on or off. It is a LARGE stroller so you do need to make sure it will fit in the back of your vehicle. I have a Chrysler Town and Country minivan and it barely fits in the back after I take off the attachments which is the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars. But for me, it is definitely worth the squeeze. And the best thing is that it pushes and turns SO EASY with all three of my kids in it. It is definitely an investment but well worth the price. I could say much more in the praise of this stroller, but I'll stop now! :)

We got this for our new born, 1 year old and 2 year old. It is a nightmare to push and if the pavement is just the tiniest bit tilted, or if you walk on the pavement and the pavement dips where you cross the road, it will pull badly. I have had to struggle to stop it from falling sideways many times.
The backseat will not stay in the upright position so when my 2 year old is in the jump seat, the back seat keeps reclining and pushing on her head. Also the jump seat doesn't stay in position and my daughter finds it very uncomfortable when it sinks under the rear seat.
Its a good idea, but not good in reality. I called Joovy to speak to someone about all the problems we had. Pam the customer service rep was very rude and unhelpful. Luckily Toysrus.com where we got it from were great and we are sending it back and getting a refund.
I really wouldn't waste your money on this stroller. Its flimsy, cheaply made, difficult to move, and uncomfortable for the kids. If you do still decide to give it a go, make sure you measure your car as it is very long and will not fit in a lot of vehicles.

This is by far the best triple I have owned. This was for my 3,2 and an infant. My only complant was the kids arguing over who was going to sit where. The infant sat in front. We have a honda odyssey and it fit fine in the back. A triple jogging would have not. I like to go out and about a bunch so this was really needed. It has great storage in is easy to push assuming you remeber you are pushing a 100 pounds or so. This has made my life so much easier!
