Outdoor gear brand Thule takes a different approach to the jogger market—they make bicycle trailers that convert into jogging strollers, plus they’ve introduced their first sport strollers
The models. Recently, Thule expanded into the stroller arena with two sports strollers: the Thule Glide ($400, 22 lbs.; pictured), and the Urban Glide ($400, 23 lbs.). The Glide is a fixed wheel dedicated jogging stroller with 16″ front wheel and 18″ rear wheels. It comes with height adjustable handle, hand brake, and adjustable canopy. The fold is one handed although to get it compact you need to remove the wheels. The stroller weighs 22 lbs. and the price is $350. Accessories include a parent console and infant car seat adapter.
The Urban Glide has a slightly bigger canopy, full recline and more.
The Urban Glide (23 lbs.) is similar to the Glide but includes a full recline, a 12.5″ front wheel that swivels or locks in 2 positions and 16″ rear wheels. Price: $400. A double version, the Urban Glide 2, ($650) weighs 31 lbs. New for 2019, Thule will offer a new bassinet accessory for the Urban Glide 2.
If you are an avid bicyclist who also wants to occasionally jog or stroll with baby, Thule offers three models of bike trailers with included kits that turn the trailers into jogging strollers. Example: the Cross ($900 to $1004), which features plush harness straps, padded seats and adjustable suspension. A plus: the Cross has expanded legroom for the kiddies. A double version (Cross 2) is $1020. The CX1 ($675 to $1230) can also be converted to a jogger with their Jogging Kit ($100 to $300).
Thule’s newest stroller is a departure for the brand: the four-wheel Sleek ($800). This multi-function single-to-double stroller is similar to the Baby Jogger City Select and UPPAbaby Vista—the seat can face forward or rear, you can add a second seat and it is car seat compatible (with adapter sold separately, natch).
The Sleek is too new as of this writing for much real world feedback. We’ve seen a sample and think the materials and build are high quality. But the price here is just too much: you can find a Baby Jogger City Select online for around $400—we are not sure there is anything the Sleek does better that justifies a $300 price premium. Ditto with the UPPAbaby Vista, which sells for $900 but includes a bassinet, which is an extra $200 with the Sleek.
Our view. While this brand is pricey (some models run well over $1000), we’ve been impressed with Thule’s quality—no, they aren’t cheap . . . but you’ll be amazed by the ease of use and adjustments. The downside: these trailers/joggers are too wide to take into most stores, so this isn’t a good solution for shopping. Obviously, unless you are a serious biker or runner, a Thule is probably overkill. But if you want a quality bike trailer that can morph into a stroller, this brand should be on the top of your shopping list.
If you’re looking at their jogging stroller or all-terrain options, both the Glide and the Urban Glide are sturdy, well made strollers. The fold isn’t as compact as competitors (unless you remove the wheels) but the quality is impressive. Rating: A
