Thule - Urban Glide 3 Double

I am a runner and have two strollers. I have a Doona which doubles as a car seat and is awesome for short trips and when I have to take my baby in the car somewhere. My second one is a Thule urban glide, which I use for running and long walks. It is extremely smooth And I can run very fast in it. If it wasn’t for the Thule, there is no way I would be able to stay fit.

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)

Thule Urban Glide Younger one is 3, so probably last days for ours, but had it since our first, probably 2000+ miles, still going strong

Thule urban glide system 😍😍

I have 3 if you count a wagon! I have the vista v2, Thule urban glide and evenflo explore pivot wagon. Use the vista the most because it’s left in my car. Wagon is used a lot though. Thule not as much, but I do like it as a jogging 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

I have a plethora of strollers, and I can honestly say yes, there is a difference in maneuverability and smooth ride, durability when you pay more for a stroller. However, there are also a lot of different TYPES of strollers, and depending on where you live, what kind of terrain you plan to take your stroller on, you may not need something expensive. Or, if price is an issue, look for something lightly used. For example, I have an uppababy vista v2 and it’s very sturdy and handles great. That stroller costs about $1,200 new. I also eventually bought a Thule urban glide for around $600, and that stroller handles just as well in my opinion. There are definitely differences between them, but I don’t think there is a “unicorn” stroller out there that does it all. You have to pick and choose what you care about most.

Stroller. Did so much research to find one that would fit our lifestyle the best. Got the Thule Urban Glide. Turns out baby hates to be so reclined in that stroller even in its most upright position and prefers his tiny travel stroller where he can sit upright

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.

Depends how much you walk! Our Thule urban glide has racked up over 3000km so far by my count and is still going strong with baby #2. It's annoying bulky but has stood the test of time and comfortable on the unsealed walking tracks round about the neighbourhood.
