Thule Urban Glide 3 Stroller Review
Jump to Section
Today we are getting up close and personal with your newest running partner, the Thule Urban Glide 3 jogging stroller by Thule.
This lightweight, all-terrain marvel is packed with conveniences for families on the go — and it looks great too! With a ride so smooth you might even lull baby to sleep on your next family 5 K.
Scroll on for an in-depth look at what the Urban Glide 3 brings to the trail.
Specs at a Glance
- Use from 6 mo (from birth with Newborn Nest, Thule Bassinet, Newborn Inlay, or a compatible infant car seat) to 48.5 lbs.
- Max Weight Capacity: 75 lbs. total
- Open: 40.9″ × 27.2″ × 45.7″
- Folded: 34.6″ × 22.8″ × 12.2″
- Stroller Weight: 26.2 lbs
- Wheels: 16″ rear • 12″ front
At just 26 lbs, the Urban Glide 3 is lighter than many jogging rigs, yet its stronger frame and generous weight limit promise years of adventures. A compact fold slips effortlessly into a trunk or closet, and the large wheels tackle gravel, grass, or snow without breaking a sweat.
Please Note: While the stroller weight capacity is 75 lbs., the max child weight is 48.5 lbs.
Newborn-Ride Ready
From day one, the Urban Glide 3 is newborn-friendly when used in these ways:
- Used as a travel system with a compatible infant seat with the Universal / Chicco Adapter or the Maxi-Cosi / Nuna / Cybex Adapter.
- Cradled in the Newborn Nest, Thule Bassinet, or plush Newborn Inlay for extra head-to-toe support.
Note: Jogging is not recommended until baby has full head and neck control (around six months).
Top-Notch Features
Adjustable Handlebars:
The twist-brake on the handle delivers speed control at your fingertips, and the ergonomic height range creates that custom-built feel. New this generation: a flip-flop-friendly brake lever for quick stops, even in sandals.
50 UPF Canopy:
Your co-pilot stays shaded by a 50 UPF canopy. It now extends farther and adds ventilation panels, so sunshine and stuffy air never slow you down.
Air-Filled Wheels:
Three air-filled tires — sixteen inches in back and twelve up front — float over bumps. One twist of the blue lock button fixes the front wheel for running. A reinforced fork connection and upgraded suspension boost stability, and reflective rims keep you visible at dusk.
Covered Cargo Basket:
A larger 15-lb basket with a zip-top and Velcro tabs keeps your keys, snacks, and spare layers high and dry.
Snack & Stow:
Twin interior mesh pockets hold sippy cups, bubbles, or the sticks your toddler insists on collecting.
Nap on the Go:
One-handed recline lets tired travellers lie back fast. A more upright seat plus a built-in leg rest supports little legs when awake and stretches flat for dreamy naps.
Safety:
Five-point harness, wrist strap, and plentiful reflective details check every safety box. New soft-touch, high-quality fabrics feel nicer against skin and stand up to daily mileage.
Compact Fold:
Press, twist, fold. One hand, two seconds, done. Toss it in the trunk or prop it against the garage wall until the next workout.
Accessories & Add-Ons
Customise your ride as your child — and mileage — grows:
- Snack Tray – swivels open for quick ins and outs
- Mesh Cover – bug-proof airflow on forest trails
-
Rain Cover – storm-ready in seconds
- Bumper Bar
- Footmuff – year-round comfort from heat waves to snow days
- Newborn Nest, Thule Bassinet, & plush Newborn Inlay
Each accessory clicks on without tools, so you can level up your stroller as quickly as your running playlist.
