Thule - Glide 2

Yes, you need a jogging stroller. 4 wheel strollers are trash for running with. They also don't have the right suspension, so baby gets bounced all over the place. Thule is, hands down, the superior running stroller brand.

100%. I actually use the Thule glide full sized. They also have the urban glide which has smaller wheels but is still fast. The glide has amazing suspension and is super stable. I run about 25 miles a week. I did a 10k with my baby and averaged 7 min/mi, which is only about 15 sec/mile slower than my pace without the stroller.

We had a Nuna that was good, but then I rented a Bob jogger on vacation and fell in love with it. I ended up buying a Thule Jogger which is going strong with kid number 2, but the Bob is a great choice too. Joggers are just better with different terrain, hop curbs easy, and are simple. The Nuna was great if you're on a smooth sidewalk or something and had too many plastic parts

Ikea high chair is actually great and not too expensive. We got almost everything second hand from facebook buy nothing groups and marketplace. That being said, there is improved quality with more expensive items but this is true even if you get them second hand! For example, we got a babytrend jogging stroller travel system second hand and it was great for a year but the wheel stopped working, got a used chicco for a little more money which was a little better, and then ended up with a free Thule jogging stroller that a neighbor was giving away. Wow, the quality was soooo much better in almost every feature. But in my mind not worth the couple more hundred bucks to buy it new. Lots of good deals too during holidays and prime days so thats when we bought some things like a Graco extend2fit car seat. Most of the cost seems to go into the ease of use and quality of materials. For example, the buckle system was just easier to use in the Graco instead of the baby trend which made my life a lot easier but would I pay $1000 for small features like that? probably not.

lol I have literally 5 stroller variations. Hiking (BOB), running (Thule, worth every penny if you actually want to run with baby), skiing charriot (Thule), regular walking/shopping stroller (Babyjogger Cityselect), and a collapsible wagon for the beach and camping. I like them all and we have enough storage space in our garage, so we keep them. All except the wagon were second hand or free!

Are the tires properly inflated? My single Thule and my double BOB both are significantly harder to push when the tires are even a little deflated. Any particular reason the stroller was listing? Road/path slant? Grip orientation? Thule has a nice adjuster for the front wheel on slanted roads and paths that I take advantage of in my sidewalk-less area.

Fantastic product! But if you're active/sporty you'll probably need a second bigger/rugged stroller. The Doona is a brilliant piece of engineering. Seamless transitioning from driving to walking. You don't need to detach a stroller and put it in the trunk. Excellent modular base to clip into. But also easy to use with seatbelt in other cars/taxis. Amazing for global travel. The main thing about the slight extra weight is that you literally lift it out of car and release the wheels below. The lift should be for about 3 feet. Seemed pricey when I first looked at it. Now I think it was one of our best purchases. The negatives are that it has small wheels and no suspension. (This is a lightweight urban/travel solution). So if you like to walk/hike/run on loose surfaces it's not going to work. For these activities we bought a Thule Glide. It also has no storage by default. So you'll want the clip on essentials bag for diapers etc. and the clip on backpack for airplane travel.

Bobs and Thules are super popular where I live because they’re good for most terrain and jogging, and people use them as everyday strollers. So that’s my plan, which a car seat adapter for when it’s needed in early days.

3, a basinette, a travel bugaboo & a thule jogger. don’t use the basinette anymore currently.

Lots of good suggestions here! If I may, here are things I *regretted* buying for newborns. You can always buy these things IF you find the need for them, but i spent a lot of money buying ahead of time to find out I never used them or could’ve used something else.  For feeding:  - nipple cream (never used, only did breastmilk and air dry)   - breast pads (maybe useful to have 2-3 reusable sets for the first few weeks but otherwise never used again)  - special bf shirts or dresses (just wore my normal clothes) - special bottle sterilizer ( I ended up using this bc I donate milk to preemies and they want me to, but otherwise wasn’t really needed unless you’re pumping in the newborn phase) - bottle warmer (just run under hot water and spin)  - nursing cover (just another thing to carry around, I only used muslin blankets)  - boppy (personally found super uncomfortable and just use a pillow)  - lots of bottles (wait to see what baby likes first!)  For diapering:  - NB diapers (wait to see how big baby is, then order!) - expensive baby changing mat (literally any would suffice)  - wipe warmer (he’s fine with his cold wipes haha)  - special diaper cream (we use aquaphor)  We used cloth diapers as soon as baby was a few weeks old so not sure what else. We used a nice garbage can with a lid and reusable wet bag to collect diapers.  For bath time:  - special infant seat (used when baby got older, but for nb stage we just sponge bathed or one of us held baby bc he was so uncomfortable)  - baby towels (we just dried with little burp cloths)  - any special baby lotion (I use Pipette for myself and for baby)  Baby clothes:  - pants/shirts in nb, 0-3 sizes (baby wore exclusively onesies and footie pajamas) Baby items: - stroller (honestly we never use ours bc I almost exclusively babywear; if I could go back I’d probably get one cheap off marketplace instead of my Thule jogger)  - baby play mat, especially the lovevery one (just use blanket)  - any special baby furniture (we just used our own)  Here’s a list of we have used for my second:  For feeding:  - burp cloths (lots, but nothing special)  - 2 glass bottles and bottle brush  - pump and pump parts and breastmilk bags (get through insurance!!! Don’t spend your own money on them!)  - syringe for vitamin d drops  - pumping or nursing bras For diapering:  - size one diapers and wipes  - cloth diapers  - simple foldable mat  - wet bags  - aquaphor (phenomenal stuff, works on rashes, nipples, skin, lips, etc etc)  For bathing:  - burp/towel cloths  - simple baby wash (we only use on specific areas)  For clothes:  - onesies short and long sleeve  - footie pajamas  - sweater  - hat  - socks (for under footies when it’s cold)  Baby items:  - baby carriers for baby wearing - a few black and white cards or small toys - bassinet - bouncer ? TBD, as he doesn’t like it  - muslin blankets  - diaper bag with essentials   - pacifiers (bought 2 brands, he liked 1, so we went with that one)  Baby toiletries:  - electric nail trimmer - thermometer  - syringe  If I could go back, I’d also get most things from buying nothing groups or FB marketplace. Most baby items are only used for 0-2 years so they’re in good condition! And people always get surplus items at showers or as gifts so a lot of items are in new or like new condition.  Hope this helps.
