Thule - Urban Glide 3 Series

Came here to say this - bought it for running but love it for being able to take offroading.

Marketplace is flooded with these, I think because folks buy them with good intentions and then don't end up using them as often as they like. We have the Thule urban glide as our only stroller. Have not used it for jogging yet as baby is only 4 months but it handles great, has excellent suspension, and works awesome "off road". We paid $300 on marketplace but it came with a few accessories and I've definitely seen them cheaper!

I just completed a full Ironman at 12months postpartum so did lots of running in 2025 with a stroller. We have the Thule Urban Glide 3 and Joovy Ultralight 360. Joovy was a gift: it’s heavy and cumbersome and hard to run with compared to the Thule that’s smooth, easy and a total dream. Longest I ran with the stroller is around 20kms (12miles). My best tip is leave baby home for a nap with someone else and run as much as you can, when they wake up come back and get them and finish the run with the stroller. That’s how I got my long runs in. Edit: just something to keep in mind, you cannot run with baby until 6m in most strollers (Joovy is 4m with the seat reclined). It’s for the safety of their neck.

Ran 21k with the Thule Urban Glide 3 today with my 11 month old… it’s the best money I spent post partum.

Od njegovega sodelavca sva kupila thule urban glide, ki sta ga pred tem imela za dva otroka. Prioriteta je bla da se da laufat z njim.

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 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

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.

My biggest piece of advice for the newborn stage is to get a travel system from one brand. We bought the carseat we wanted, the stroller we wanted, and an adaptor. The adaptor was so difficult to use, has to be added and removed whenever the stroller is folded, and completely negates the ease of transferring the carseat to the stroller. If I were you, I'd choose your carseat, check out the stroller that's compatible with that carseat, do a little research to make sure that stroller doesn't suck, and just go with that one. Less to think about, and it will save you a headache later. We ended up with two strollers -- one that was highly recommended, lightweight/compact, and okay to use for newborns. Then we got a Thule jogging stroller (with a discount) that is for 6 months+. The Thule is 100% better for long walks and walks over any "terrain" (even grass). But it is also very difficult to pack up, so we basically keep the lightweight one in the car and use the Thule for walks from home.

I’m in the Netherlands, we had snow last week and I was sooooo happy i’d just bought a Thule urban glide. I’m currently selling our donkey, it did it’s job but it’s just too many parts and pieces for us.
