10 Best Strollers for Almost Every Budget and Need (2024): New Top Picks!


WIRED TIRED
Great to run with. Solid hand brake. Folds pretty small for a jogger. Still pretty big, especially compared to other strollers. Heavy, too.

Joggers are big, but the Thule does a good job of not being too big—or at least not as big as the competition. The Thule Urban Glide 3, like its predecessor the Urban Glide 2, has a slim enough form to pass through the walkway dividers meant to discourage my local skateboarders, and folds a little flatter than other joggers, so it’s easier to walk past in my entryway. It’s a smooth ride and easy to fold with one hand, though at 26 pounds it’s too heavy to carry with your kid in your other arm safely.

There are a few changes on the new Thule Urban Glide 3 from the earlier model. One is the hand brake, which is now less circular and instead designed for ergonomic hold to make it easier to use. I personally preferred the earlier version, but the new one is a little more straightforward for where to place your hand and pull from and works just as well to help control your downhill speed. There’s also a new, extended canopy to better shade your little one on your runs, and it comes in a bunch of fun colors similar to the Thule Shine. Finally, there’s a new built-in footrest for kids to place their feet instead of dangling. I didn’t really notice the footrest improving my son’s comfort while in this jogger, but my kid is also not quite two, so it might make a bigger difference for bigger kids.

Thule also sells stroller accessories that let you use this jogger with an infant, either with Thule’s bassinet attachment or one of the various car seat adapters. There are also attachable cup holders ($25) and water bottle cages ($30) you can purchase separately to add onto the Urban Glide 3.

★ An alternative: The BOB Gear Wayfinder ($476) is pretty similar to the Thule, but folds a little bigger, is a few pounds heavier, and stands taller than the Urban Glide 3, so it’s a good fit for taller folks. I found the height a little uncomfortable, but I’m only 5’4″. It’s also a little cheaper than the Thule.

Bassinet attachment (sold separately), infant car seat adapter (sold separately). Weight limit: 49 pounds.
