Thule Urban Glide 3 Review | Single Stroller and Double Stroller

Are you shopping for a double stroller or want something great for running something all-terrain good for newborns? Well, I have a stroller for you_  it is the Thule Urban Glide 3, available in both single and double versions. 

In this article, I will share a full review of the Thule Urban Glide 3 single and double strollers. Whether you're an active family seeking a running stroller or just need a versatile option for everyday outings, this Thule Urban Glide 3 review will help you decide if it’s the perfect fit.

Thule Urban Glide 3 Double Stroller

The Thule Urban Glide 3 Double Stroller is the third version of this stroller. It is designed for active families with twins or two children close in age. 

Features 

Here's a breakdown of its key features:

Built for Comfort and Smooth Rides

The Thule Urban Glide 3 Double Stroller prioritizes a smooth and comfortable ride for both parents and children. The ergonomic handlebar provides a secure and easy grip for effortless control. The stroller also features a handbrake for added safety when navigating inclines or declines. It's lightweight and easy to push, even on bumpy roads. 

It is a great running stroller because it has 16-inch wheels on the back that ensure a smooth ride on various terrains. When you lock the front wheel, it gives increased stability while running. You just turn a little knob on the front and the wheel will pop. You can lock it in the rear position so if you're just doing all-terrain. But if you want to go running, I'd recommend that you turn and put it in the long position because it extends the shape of the stroller and makes it more comfortable for running.

All-Weather Protection

Also, there's an extendable canopy which is great for protecting from the sun, rain, or wind. You can adjust the canopy for optimal coverage depending on the weather conditions. All you have to do is: unzip and it has a super big sun canopy. The canopy has all these great features like a peekaboo window on the front and an air mesh peekaboo window on the back. You even have air mesh on the back with Magnetic closures which is great. 

Adjustable Calf Support for All Stages

I also love that they have two integrated calf supports that you can adjust up or down. For your newborn, simply pop the leg rest up to provide extra support for their short legs.  As your child grows, you can easily adjust the leg rest down so their feet can rest comfortably on the footrest. This way, your little ones can be comfy from tiny babies to big toddlers.

Bassinet Compatibility

The Thule Urban Glide 3 can accommodate a bassinet (sold separately) for families with a newborn. The bassinet easily attaches to the right side of the stroller for a quick and easy setup. The bassinet clicks securely into place, ensuring a safe and worry-free ride for your little one.

The flat sleeping surface in the bassinet is ideal for newborns, promoting proper neck development during their crucial growth stages. With just two buttons, you can easily remove the bassinet when you no longer need it.

Removable Wheels

One of the neat features of this stroller is that the wheels can be easily removed. This saves a lot of space when storing the stroller, especially in tight spaces like car trunks or small apartments. Simply unlock the wheels and pop them off, then reattach them with the lock when you're ready to go.

Covered Basket

This stroller boasts a large covered basket, a feature loved by many parents. You can pack all your essentials without worrying about them falling out when you fold the stroller.

Easy to Fold

Folding the stroller is quite easy. Simply open the left side and turn a knob, and the stroller folds down neatly, fitting comfortably into most car trunks. Note that while it folds compactly, it is large compared to single strollers.

Fits Through Standard Doorways

Despite its spacious design, the stroller has a width of 31 inches. It comfortably fits through most standard doorways and hallways. This eliminates the hassle of struggling to pass entrances with your double stroller.
