Love taking walks with the Urban Glide
This stroller was gifted to me and I am so glad that I have it! Now, I'm actually not a runner/jogger, but I do enjoy taking walks in my neighborhood, which has no paved sidewalks. This stroller is amazingly smooth and my 7 month old seems to like the ride. There was one time that I attempted to take him out with our "regular" stroller since I was just planning for a short 10 minute stroll, but it was so bumpy once I hit the asphalt that I turned right around and put him in the Glide! The steering is so smooth and the suspension is amazing. Great storage, too. Love it!
Almost Perfect
Had this stroller for 9 months. Spent months researching versatile jogging strollers. It was everything I'd wanted. The all-in-one, everything stroller. Got rid of all our other strollers and only used this one. I purchased the car seat adapter. We took the baby everywhere in this thing - errands, walks, runs. Folded up so compactly and I could pull it in and out of my mini-van with one hand. Very lightweight, narrow/compact, simple, and back wheels come off with the push of a button if you're really tight on space. I recommended it to everyone. I was looking forward to actually logging some longer runs with this stroller, this summer, but the front wheel has started to wobble. I'm so disappointed. I may just take a chance and deal with it, because I can't find another jogging stroller that's so simple, versatile, lightweight and compact. Thule hit a home-run with this one, but they really need to figure out the front wheel.
my wrists are saved.
I used stokke and babyjogger city select for 2years. now, I am only using this one. It is better than others. 1. handling is smooth, even on mountain road 2. light weights, can take it everywhere 3. canopy covers all the way down. 4. easy to fold
Very happy with Thule Urban Glide Stroller
The Urban Glide has several nice features: it is relatively light compared to competition (nice when putting in car); it has an adjustable handle height (I am 6'3", wife is 5'5"), that makes a world of difference on my back, especially when I run; it folds easily with a 1 hand operation; the bottom storage is covered, keeping stuff secure and cleaner; the canopy offers good coverage and has several positions; the swivel wheel in front lets the stroller maneuver well. After using it for 2 months, I would say a small fault is getting the front wheel to track straight in the lock position takes too much effort. It doesn't seem to be a "set-it-and-forget-it" type feature. Other than that, it is a very nice stroller and appears to be of a well thought design. We owned a BOB Revolution and used it thoroughly, selling it prematurely before 2nd child's arrival. I have been testing the Urban Glide with my 4 year old son on runs and walks. He doesn't need a stroller (he has crazy energy). But, he likes riding when I run and says it is a comfortable ride ( he weighs 36lbs). I hope this review encourages people to try out Thule Urban Glide. It is nice to see a stroller with nice features and quality build.
Great Design & Smooth Ride
My wife and I had read some questionable reviews for this stroller but our reservations were put to rest after using it a few times. Definitely an adjustment from our City Mini but now I couldn't imagine another stroller to run with. The secure storage is great and it is very easy to fold up. Wheels pop on and off without hassle in order for us to store it in our car. If I had to offer one critique it would be that the seat does not go completely upright, but our daughter seems to enjoy the ride!
Great stroller when the front wheel works
I love this stroller after I exchanged it due to a front wheel issue. REI is the best place to get this. My first thule urban glide, when the front wheel is in the locked position, would still walk to the right after a short run. After testing out with different dial position (for the angle adjustment of the front wheel) for 2 weeks, I was not able to get the wheel to stay tracking straight (front wheel points back is better than points forward). It always veers right even when I set it to point left at the beginning of my run. After speaking to an REI employee on the phone and learning that no other customers complain about the same issue, I decided to exercise the return policy. My second thule urban glide works great out of the box. I would give my second stroller a 5 star, but be aware of the front wheel issue.
Great stroller
My wife and I just had our first child and wanted a second stroller for our long walks as well as running. We had planned on purchasing a BOB but when we walked into REI we saw the Thule Urban Glide and fell in love. It’s smaller and lighter but does not compromise space for the baby/child. Its ability to fold much easier then the BOB was also a huge selling point as well as the quick disconnect of the rear tires. I own other Thule products from bike racks to roof racks and knew they made quality products that will last a long time. So far we have truly enjoyed the Urban Glide although we have not had a chance to run with it yet since the baby is only a few weeks old. We also purchased the car seat adapter which was easy to install and our Britax car seat fits perfect. It also does not interfere with the collapsing of the stroller and actually folds with it making it almost seem as if it’s not there. Something the BOB does not due. We also enjoy the storage space on the bottom which completely zips shut keeping dirt out. The addition of the zipped pouch is also a nice touch. The folding canopy actually can fold forward allowing you to skip the small window if you want a better view of your child. The reflective piping around the hood is also a nice touch. The adjustable handlebar has been great as my wife is much shorter than me and adjusts it to fit her. Looking forward to enjoying this product for years to come and would recommend to anyone over the BOB. We have had multiple people ask us about in our neighborhood saying they had no idea Thule made a stroller. My brother and sister in law also have a BOB and said they wished they had gotten the Thule!
The stroller is ok
Overall the stroller is ok. It's lightweight, easy to push and it looks good. What I don't like about it is the angle of the seat in a sitting position. My kid is 1 and always leaning forward with his head bc he wants to sit up more. I have to put a pillow or a blanket behind his head so he can relax. Also the color of the seat is light grey. It gets so dirty! We have only had the stroller for about 6 months and it's looks horrible now. If I would of known how dirty the seat was going to be I would of picked a different brand. We have another stroller we use daily and the seat is black which is much better. We have had that stroller for a year and there are no stains that you can see. And he even eat snacks in that stroller.
Simple and easy
I like almost everything about this product, how it folds the simple design and the maneuverability. The only thing that has been a issue is the basket. It's tucked in and have had trouble getting a bag inside with how close it is to the underside of the seat. I don't see myself cramming to many thing in there though so may not always be an issue. Can't be perfect 5 stars for that reason though.
Best Baby Gear Purchase Ever!
Since getting this a month ago, my 20 pound son and I have ran around 30 miles with this Thule running stroller. It is so light and smooth that I can run next to it while holding its handlebar with a single hand. It has handled roads, gravel roads and fire roads, flat dirt trails, and even very hilly and uneven dirt and rock trails. I've read that it is a good idea to put Slime in the tires to keep them from going flat on trails, but I have yet to have any problems offroad. Even my wife, who was not in favor of spending so much $$$ on yet another baby item, LOVES this stroller and uses it for shopping and simply walking with the baby. Though it is larger than our standard stroller, it is not huge or heavy. Bottom line: I cannot think of a single negative to this stroller if you want to run, hike, and walk with your little one.
