Urban Glide 2 Double

The Phil & Teds Duo Sport is decent for everyday use, but for actual jogging it can feel a bit heavy and less stable at pace. If you’re planning to run regularly, models like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or Out’n’About Nipper Double are much better for jogging – smoother ride, easier to steer, and lighter to push. Both also fold reasonably compactly. Since you’ll sometimes run with just the baby, check that the pram handles well with uneven weight distribution. Also worth measuring your boot space before buying – some doubles are long when folded.

I have a 3-wheel Thule Urban Glide, and I really like it. It has a hand brake, which makes it feel much safer going downhill. It's really nice that the new ones have a bassinet attachment- I have the 2nd generation, so we had to do a different stroller when our kid was really little. We bought our Thule second hand, and we haven't had any issues with it (we've been using it regularly for like 2.5 years). It handles really well on trails and grass, which is a nice perk.

I run 10-14 miles most days of the week and use the Thule urban glide. I bought an older model and then used my rei discount and got it at a really good price - still expensive but I use it every day in all weather and my little guy loves it! It’s easy to push and rolls very smoothly. I run road, rail to trail, rural gravel roads, and easy going double track trails. I adjust the tire pressure depending on what terrain, which admittedly can make it slower rolling, but makes it less bumpy for my child. Would recommend checking this out either used or on sale, or depending on your financial situation buy new.

Personally I think if price isn't concern, go with the Thule Urban Glide 3 and attachment for bassinet and/or car seat. My MIL got us the Thule urban glide 2 kids back and it's still in amazing shape for baby number 3. It goes on literally ANY surface so easily and is insanely simple to fold up and operate. One handed driving through deep grass, sand, rocks? No problem. It's a jogging type stroller so it is very stable and easy to maneuver even at higher speeds if you are into jogging. Mine is the older version of course and it didn't have the option for bassinet or car seat back then but I'm hoping I can get the accessories this time around bc that would be amazing. That being said, it's not cheap. At all. We would have NEVER bought it for ourselves so we are lucky to have in laws that like to buy the best. 😅

Are you hoping to do infant inserts? I’m not sure if the Thule has car seat attachments or bassinet options for twins. We’ve had the bugaboo donkey and Thule. I’m a bigger fan of our Thule, personally, than the donkey. I like how it rides better, and it was so much cheaper than the donkey. That being said, if I had newborn twin again I would totally buy a stroller with double bassinet attachments. We got our donkey secondhand and it was a little broken (discovered after we got it). That notwithstanding I loved it for the newborn bassinets when they were little.

Get the urban glide if you live somewhere hilly as it has a hand break (I think mountain buggy also has one with a hand break). I have the double urban glide because I have twins and a singleton, and it's not compact enough for easy travelling (but maybe the single is better). Not having a hand break can be scary running down even a slight hill, and downright dangerous for steeper hills!

They honestly both have their merits. I have the uppababy vista, the Thule urban glide (side x side), and Thule chariot (side x side). I use the Thules for running and dog walks, but the main problem I'm having with side x side right now is just the amount of stroller drama (they are 12 months but this has been going on for a few months)..this includes biting, toy stealing, etc etc. The uppababy is good for the rare city outing (especially as they are still in their infant seats so they click right in), but I find it more difficult to steer, it is LONG (sorry door frames), and it has no breaks which I find incredibly useful living in a very hilly area!

I have two doubles, but they’re both big: UPPAbaby Vista and Thule Urban Glide Double. The opposite of lightweight, ha, but they’re for different purposes and I’m glad I have both. My perspective is that if you have the money, space, and need for a second, then it’s a good purchase.

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.
