Thule - Shine Stroller

We have the Thule Shine and love it! It is also really nice to have a different stroller than every single other family in the city. The number of Uppababy, Mockingbird, and Nuna strollers at every toddler activity is wild.

Thule Shine! Compact, nice small fold for storage and you can just get an adaptor for whatever car seat you want.

Fully agree with the urban glide. We have one as our primary stroller, used the bassinet attachment from birth and begun running with it once we put the standard seat in. I didn’t feel comfortable running with the bassinet as there’s no way of strapping the baby in. However, have been running since 3 months age and did runs up to 20km on a good path and my baby loves it and falls asleep straight away. We purchased a Thule shine for 70% off as our shopping one and it’s been great also.

I have a Thule single seat and honestly don’t love it. I think I’ll get the wagon for when they’re old enough to sit up and look into the uppababy vista thank you!

Second this! Thule makes great strollers. I ran with mine (even though it technically wasn't for running) and took it everywhere. We later ended up getting a travel stroller exclusively for travel (Inglesina Quid). Definitely go check them out in store. I was surprised how big most daily strollers are. The Thule seemed small by comparison.

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.

I learned in my mom group that lots of people were buying the uppababy secondhand! I was surprised that so many other parents in my neighborhood could afford the uppababy stroller when it’s so expensive, but it turns out lots of people don’t get them new. It seems silly in retrospect but I didn’t realize strollers were durable enough for that. We have a much more affordable Thule, and we love it.

Got a Thule because we run with baby and it handles off roading really well. Worth the investment.

Agree with everyone about jogging strollers!!!! We first got the uppababy Cruz which we do love but in the snow (we live in Calgary) you get so stuck it’s so hard. So we got the Thule because we go on lots of walks and now walk our baby to daycare so it gets used twice daily. Cruz stays in the car and is used for outings like appointments, mall grocery etc. but Thule gets used for walks. We have the urban glide - and it is still sooo big. I hate taking it into stores so it’s really an outdoor stroller for us. So imo it’s not a good everyday stroller but it’s amazing for winter and trails. Also look on marketplace, lots of people selling jogging strollers. Also I’ve heard people do not like the vista as a double stroller and also you never know if you do have a second kid whether your first will be at an age where they even still want to be in a stroller. So for us it was worth the gamble to just get the Cruz and if we need then get a double later on.

Chicco bravo KeyFit the infant car seat clicks right into it. It's a tad heavy and the basket underneath is a good size. It's good for running errands and around town. It also comes with cupholders for parents and the little one when they're ready to sit in the seat. It also reclines so they can lay down and take a nap. We were also given a hand me down Thule. That one is light and is good for parks and trails because it has shocks and actual tires so you can go through grass and even sand. There is a separate bar/contraption you can buy to hold the Chicco infant car seat. The basket underneath is on the small side. We also had to buy a cupholder thing for it because the model wr have doesn't come with it . They're both great!
