Great if you do not need to transport it.
Pros:
Roomy for children, canopies for each seat, durable
Cons:
Heavy, difficult to maneuver, very large
The Bottom Line:
My final recommendation is that if you are looking for a nice triple that you will not be transporting often this is perfect.

Author's Review
The Baby Trend Triple Seats stroller is a great stroller, with a few things which could be improved. I use the stroller daily for my home daycare and it works perfectly for my needs. The seats are large enough to accommodate a rather large child. The front 2 seats only slightly recline, but the back seat reclines completely horizontal which makes it the perfect spot for an infant or a child desiring to nap. You can close off the foot area with snaps so that a small infant will not fall through. All 3 seats have very nice canopies which cover the children completely. The 3rd seat even has a peek-through window, also making it the best seat for an infant. It appears, when you look at the stroller, that the 2nd and 3rd riders would not have ample foot room. However, once the child's feet are through the space and into the lower basket area, there is room. I have yet to have a child complain about the lack of foot space.
The front seat has a nice snack tray and adjustable foot rest. There is even a nice tray with a middle area and 2 cup holders for the adult, which is an added bonus. The basket is large, but very hard to get to, as this is also the foot space for the 2nd and 3rd riders. It can be used; you just have to access it from the side. The stroller is NOT easy to maneuver, and I definitely wouldn't recommend it in a shopping mall or anywhere requiring sharp turns. Once you get it moving, pushing it isn't hard but making turns takes some muscle and maneuvering. I would also not recommend transporting this stroller unless you have a LARGE vehicle. The one time I did need to move it I had to lay it across the backseat of my Toyota Camry and the doors barely closed. If you have children with you, this is going to be impossible.
Luckily folding and unfolding isn't difficult once you get the hang of it, but it is definitely a 2 hand job! Getting it into a car could be a 2 person job. The stroller is extremely durable, as I am the 3rd daycare provider to use it.
The bottom line: A great triple for walks around the park and little-to-no transporting from place to place by vehicle. It is heavy, but good luck finding a triple that isn't. There is ample room for the children, and it is very durable.
