Best Triple Umbrella Stroller Reviews
Umbrella strollers are all the rage these days. Both because of their light weight and compact designs, they’re shoo-ins for the majority of parents who just want to get around quickly and conveniently with as little bulk as possible. The best umbrella strollers are lightweight, fold with one hand, and as close to effortless as transporting kids can get. However, finding a good triple umbrella stroller can be a serious undertaking!

In this guide, we’ll look at some of the reasons why it’s so hard to find triple jogging strollers in the first place. We’ll take a look at a few of the options, and give you some advice for alternative ways to transport three kids at once. Read on to learn everything you need to know about triple jogging strollers!

Why’s It So Hard To Find Triple Jogging Strollers, Anyway?

Practically every stroller manufacturer is making umbrella models at the moment. Any big brand is sure to have at least one or two single umbrella strollers available, and many offer double models that are perfect for toting twins around. However, very few companies are making triple umbrella strollers. Why’s that, you ask?

There are several good reasons why you don’t see many triple umbrella strollers around the marketplace.

First of all, an umbrella stroller is a lightweight, super convenient way to move kids around. By nature, it’s built extremely lightly. No lightweight stroller is ideal for hauling three kids, even if it’s built with the best aluminum tubing. Few companies will go to the effort of designing and building something light enough to be an umbrella stroller and yet sturdy enough to hold three kids, especially when triple strollers are already a niche market. So, safety is a big factor here. Most companies don’t want to go through the hassle of trying to produce and certify a product that’s incredibly difficult to get right.

Secondly, umbrella strollers are all about convenience. They fold up with one hand (or, at least, they ought to) and are perfect for public transport. You can carry them over your shoulder, turn them in tight spaces, etc. No triple stroller is going to fold up with one hand, no matter how lightly it’s built. Triple umbrella models do exist, and are certainly more convenient than your average triple stroller, but they’re not quite the same as a good single or double umbrella model.

Thirdly, umbrella strollers are usually seated side by side. That’s fine when you’ve got two kids, but three sitting all in a row makes for an extremely wide stroller, regardless of the format. Even a triple umbrella stroller is a bulky, hefty setup. Most folks with three kids to transport opt for something with stadium seating or a rumbleseat because it makes life easier going through doors and sharing sidewalks/walking paths. However, if you have stadium seating, things will inevitably not fold as flat as they would in the umbrella format.

What Are The Best Triple Umbrella Strollers At The Moment?

Obaby Mercury Triple Stroller

Obaby Mercury Triple StrollerClick for Price

At the moment, this Obaby Mercury is the only triple umbrella stroller being sold in the USA. It’s actually an imported model from a British company. You can find it available on Amazon, though, and it meets all the US safety standards as well as the European ones. Since it’s the only one available, it’s also our only recommendation. That’s unfortunate in the sense that you don’t have many options, but it’s also nice in that we can take the time here to do a detailed, comprehensive review!

The Obaby Mercury is essentially an expanded version of Obaby’s single and double umbrella stroller models. It has three identical seats, each independently adjustable with multiple seat positions, footrest positions and so on. As far as we’re concerned, it covers all the basics for a great umbrella stroller: 5-point harnesses, basic suspension, a lightweight aluminum frame, and lockable wheels. And just like any single or double model, it folds compactly so that you can carry it in a neat bundle.

The folding mechanism on this one is particularly impressive. You won’t want to try it with one hand, since the whole thing is obviously awkward to have hanging on your wrist, but it’s still simple and user-friendly. You’ll want two hands to get around it, but you won’t need them due to the weight. We won’t sugar-coat and tell you you won’t notice it slung over your shoulder, but it’s definitely the only triple stroller we’ve reviewed that won’t kill your back to carry that way! 

Keeping kids snug and dry is also a breeze, thanks to the massive PVC raincover. It might not be as cute as the independent sun shades, but it allows little ones to have a look around them in all weather conditions.

Of course, there are certainly downsides to choosing a UK-specific model such as the Obaby Mercury. The guarantee covering the stroller for 5 years doesn’t apply in the States.

It’s not a perfect design, either. Like many umbrella strollers, the sun shade isn’t as all-encompassing as you might like. And while the folding mechanism and locking clip are certainly well-executed, they’re by no means as convenient as the ones on our favorite single and double models.

You don’t have many options when it comes to the best triple umbrella stroller and that’s why we’re recommending the Obaby Mercury Triple Stroller, although luckily it’s a great choice for any parent of triplets. All in all, though, we feel good recommending this model to any parents of triplets who want something lightweight and convenient. Is it perfect? No. We’d love to see a longer warranty for international buyers and some more sun protection. Still, we’re not simply recommending it because it’s the only thing in its category. It’s legitimately an excellent umbrella stroller!
