Another GREAT Peg Perego product!! (Review of the SWIVEL wheeled version)
Pros:
Easy to use, lightweight for a triple
Cons:
EXPENSIVE!!, must be disassembled for transporting.
The Bottom Line:
If you need a triple for indoor and light outdoor use, this is the one to buy.

Author's Review
I purchased this for transporting my 2 sons (2.5 and 8 months) and my daycare baby (4months). I purchased it used off www.tripletconnection.com for $300. I just couldn't see the sense in purchasing a new one when I just needed this for a few specific uses.
The stroller is easy to assemble and disassemble, takes maybe 5 minutes TOPS to do it. The G-matic seats just click into place on the three positioned plates on the chassis, and removal is by pushing two buttons on either side of the arms of the actual seating units and lifting up. You can also use instead of the actual stroller seat, Peg Perego's G-matic infant carseats!
This does take up a lot of room to store and transport and at 60" long (yes, that's 5 foot!) it does take a bit of room to turn.
This can also be used as a double stroller with LOTS of room. You can position it as a double with both seats facing mom, both seats facing out, or the seats facing each other.
As a triple, all three seats can either face mom, or face out...not in combination as the foot rests and bumper bars would collide.
This has a HUGE basket underneath, the BEST out of ANY Peg Perego stroller on the market. And possibly the best out of any TRIPLE on the market!
Each seat is covered in the typical Peg Perego fabric. Up until 2003 the Triplette was only available in the Chesapeake pattern (navy/white), however in 2003 they also added Black Sable (black/grey/white). The Chesapeake seat fabric is hand wash only. (bummer) On MY stroller, the previous owner had altered the harnesses to make them each a 3pt harness, though these can be replaced with the standard factory issued 5pt harnesses from Peg Perego for about $25/seat. Each seat also has a full hood with a zip out panel for air movement, while still being able to be positioned in any position. Each seat also has a removable bumper bar, and a multi-position(2) footrest and has 3 positions of recline. The newer models also come standard with a boot for each seat to make them enclosed. The seats also have a netting at the bottom so that when they are fully reclined you can attach the mesh to the bumper bar to create a fully enclosed seat for infants that they can't slide/wiggle out of.
