Which double stroller for 3 kids????

[PrincessasMommy]

Kids will be 12, 4 1/2, 3 and 4 months on our next trip. I have a double jogger (which was what we used last time with 2 toddlers) but now that we will have an infant too I am thinking I should bring the tandem because baby will be very tiny and the jogger doesn't lie flat and the tandem does.
But, what about the 4 1/2 year old? What would you suggest I do?
I will be bringing a bjorn (for hubby to carry baby) and a MayaWrap (sling for me) so I think I could just do that when the older one is tired, or maybe put an umbrella stroller in the mega basket I have under the tandem?
I would like your opinions/experiences.
Thanks!

Congrats on your baby. I would bring the tandem (easier to maneuver through crowds, stores, on monorail and fold for buses, etc). I would also bring the umbrella. If it doesn't fit in the basket, you can just park it somewhere until you need it, or leave it in the room on days you don't. Then you and DH can have a break -- especially if it is warmish, everyone may be more comfortable in a stroller. The sling will be great for lines! Have a great trip.

This was the best stroller ever bought. I had 4 prior to it. I have a dd2, ds3, and ds9. Even my ds9 could jump on if he got tired. They all took turns in each seats. I love mine!!!

I was having troulbe last year deciding what to do when i had a 5,3, and 1 year old... i took a tandem stroller, and carrired the youngest in a Mei Tia carrier about 60% of the time when my 5 y/o wanted to be in the stroller, but usally it halled my 3y/o and our stuff! LOL
i was told by many many on here i needed a seat for all, but never did need it... glad i didn't waste the time hauling it around!!!

Of your stroller choices, I would say to bring the tandem and not to worry about an extra umbrella stroller. OUr last trip to WDW was when the kids were 4.5, 2.5 and 10 months. We took a Peg Perego Pliko P3 and two slings I custom sewed myself. It worked beautifully! We had the mobility of the single stroller, yet could have one of the older two stand on the steps at the back of the stroller if htey got tired. I used the sling a lot as youngest DD could sleep in it and I could still ride rides. I think with the ages of your kids, that you won't need to put all 3 in seats at any one time.
