Thule - Sleek

Mon meilleur achat de parent à été l'acquisition d'un chariot 2 places thule. Les enfants adorent (ou s'y endorment), ça permet de partager un moment avec eux en faisant ce qu'on aime. Tu n'iras pas aussi vite, mais pousser une quinzaine de kilos est loin d'être un mauvais exercice et tu pourras sortir 2h sans sacrifier ta vie de famille!

Ils aiment bien embarquer des jouets, doudous, poupées ou des livres musicaux (la joie d'écouter petit papa Noël en plein été au milieu des bois d'habitude si calmes...). Ils s'amusent aussi à "participer" au run ("aller plus vite dans la montée papa", ou bien "vas-y fonce sur la bosse on veut décoller" - j'ai un modèle avec suspensions qui permet de faire pas mal d'extravagnaces en toute sécurité). On peut réussir à les garder calmes en donnant un but à la sortie (on va voir un cochon, chercher les hérons, cueillir des mures, ramasser des chataignes ou de l'ail des ours selon la saison, ou l'imbattable manger un carré de chocolat a mi-chemin en arrivant au lac a condition d'être sages...). Mais le plus souvent, ils s'endorment au bout de 20 minutes maximum parce qu'ils sont bercés par le trajet! A partir de 3-4 ans, ça devient un peu plus technique en raison du poids, mais aussi parce que le grand ne dort plus aussi facilement qu'avant et peut avoir tendance a embêter son voisin de chariot. C'est alors le moment de faire la transition avec le vélo (en choisissant bien ses chemins un enfant de 4 ans peut assez rapidement pédaler sur 10km à une allure honnête)

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.

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!

I have a Thule! I’ve always loved it. Took it out for a run recently and noticed it was lilting to the left for some reason. I had locked the front wheel backward without realizing lol. Not sure if that’s possible on a bob but double check!

I live in a rural area and have to take my stroller on a lot of gravel roads so I am obsessed with the Thule! Super quality and the wheels make it a very smooth ride. But I got it used from offer up.

I have the Vista, which was my main stroller with my first (20 month gap), and got a double Thule to run with after my second was born. They’re great strollers and serve different purposes. If you’ve got the resources and space, get both. I’m happy I’ve got both.

It’s fine! The Thule is way more maneuverable, but the Vista is so much easier to get in/out of the car and is super useful for errands. I really liked it when youngest was just born because I could easily remove the second seat for walks with the baby. The toddler is happy with it, though I need to switch his rumble seat with the baby’s regular seat because he’s getting too tall. Resisting because change is hard! And a bonus with the Vista is that it’s helpful to separate them when the toddler gets handsy. The Vista isn’t perfect, but I don’t think anything is, really. It does check nearly all of your boxes, as it did for me. Ultimately, it’s been fantastic, particularly alongside the double Thule.

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!

Double Thule stroller! We live in a place with lots of hills, and this one has a hand break that helps me slow down/control down hills whereas the BOB does not. That was a deal breaker for us to buy the Thule. We have a 2 year old and a 6 week old. We purchased the infant insert from Amazon with the registry discount so our newborn can ride in it without spending hundreds of dollars on a bassinet. Highly recommend!
