Triple Decker

Gulp.

We ordered the stroller.

We decided on the Triple Decker stroller frame fitted for the Graco SnugRide 30 car seats. Here’s what it looks like, except I think those are the Evenflo car seats instead in the photo.

There aren’t very many options out there if you’re looking for a triplet stroller for infants, unfortunately, especially if you want one that works with car seats. Which seems to me to be the most convenient way to go. The Peg Perego looks quite nice. Luxurious, Italian – it’s the Maserati of strollers. But it comes with the Maserati price tag and, honestly, I’ve read quite a few stories from customers who had some grand mishap with it. So Triple Decker it is. We went ahead and placed the order because it takes about 4 weeks to be delivered and we would really like to have the stroller before we purchase the vehicle it has to fit into. Haven’t bought the car seats yet. They are kind of gender specific so we’re holding off for now, but now we do know which model we’re getting…

The stroller purchase is a milestone. It’s a commitment. It says: “I accept that my expected reality includes three infants.” Now, this may seem fairly obvious at this point. It may not seem like a major epiphany. But my cozy little house of denial has been steadily crumbling and there isn’t much of it left standing any more. This is good, right?

Side note: Ultrasound appointment tomorrow afternoon. Checking on the placentas again. Fingers are crossed that we’ll find out the sexes. Knowing that bit of info would really help to cement the reality of things.
