Meet the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double Stroller

The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double side-by-side stroller can also double as a jogger as your children get older. This stroller folds down to a reasonably compact size and has features and seating that are equivalent for two people. Its maneuverability and run-ability are worth a closer look.

Parents appreciate that they may use the Urban Glide 2 Double stroller for both jogging and routine outings. As it is wider, it can be difficult to maneuver in tight places, though.

Value for Money

The Urban Glide 2 Double Stroller presents a comparable design with less bulk, higher quality, and a reasonable price, hence it outperforms its rivals. It offers adaptability for future activities that many families will find vital for two older babies or youngsters of different ages.

The BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Duallie is a comparable stroller in terms of price and performance.

What parents say

“Despite having good storage, it lacks a water bottle holder. If you wanted to seal the whole thing up, there is a zipper in addition to Velcro for simple entry and exit. Utilizing it daily; worth the cost!” – N. October 3, 2021, 5 stars

“The only issue, which is really not a big concern, is that in order for it to fold completely, the wheels must be taken off. This is the smoothest gliding stroller that ever exists! LOL worth EVERY SINGLE DOLLAR.” –O. March 14, 2021, 5 stars

“Worth every cent. I am confident that this well-made item will endure forever. My twins fit perfectly in it. They are nicely covered by the shade. It’s smooth to ride. It folds up for simple storage and the wheels come off for even simpler storage.” – L. June 4, 2018, 5 stars

Ease of Use

With a sliding and twisting folding handle, the Urban Glide 2 Double folds up quickly and easily using one hand. When folded, it features an automatic lock and, if the handlebar is at the proper height, it will stand up on its own. It takes two hands to unfold and is simple to handle.

Its seatback pockets can be used to store items like a cell phone, keys, and a water bottle, although they can be challenging to get once the seats are down. Your little riders can easily reach the compartments where a snack or sippy cup can be kept.

What parents say

“We appreciate the pockets and the handbrake. I like that the bottom storage compartment has a zipper closure to keep items dry and clean, even though it might be a little difficult to get things in and out.” – B. June 9, 2020, 2 stars

“It practically drives itself. It’s also easy to use, light, and rides efficiently on both paved and dirt routes. Love it so much.” – C. May 3, 2020, 5 stars

“It is a fantastic stroller that is strong, well made, and simple to use. The only drawback is that it’s a little heavy and doesn’t fold up very small.” – E. January 18, 2020, 5 stars

Portability

The Urban Glide 2 Double Stroller gets a thumbs up for how compact it gets when folded, therefore making it easy for parents to place it in the car trunk.

However, some of our survey respondents find the Urban Glide 2 heavy and difficult to handle and store. They also state that it can be quite inconvenient to store, especially if one is in a hurry, as the wheels need to be removed to make it compact.

What parents say

“Despite being huge, this jogger is durable, has safety features, and provides a comfortable ride. It requires the removal of the wheels in order to fold up or store, and is extremely heavy.” – C. March 4, 2021, 2 stars

“It’s not perfect as it feels clunky and is difficult to carry, handle, and store when folded.” – W. May 2, 2021, 2 stars

“It is also so compact it fits easily in my trunk (with the wheels off), and putting it back together is only a minor inconvenience.” –B. April 18, 2018, 5 stars

“It’s quite easy to get into and out of my Jeep, and the maneuverability is fantastic.” –D. May 26, 2019, 5 stars

Parent Tip!

Before purchasing this jogging stroller, please make sure that it will fit in your vehicle’s storage compartment. Measure its folded size carefully and determine if it is suitable for your vehicle.

Maneuverability

The Urban Glide 2 Double is simple to push and turn on flat areas, thanks to its air-filled rubber tires and front swivel wheel. Compared to other double joggers, this Thule model feels more agile. It is as simple to push and turn on grass, gravel, bumps, or curbs.

This jogger lacks an adjustable suspension, though, and has a soft suspension that gives it a slightly mushy feeling.

What parents say

“I’m not sure what parents like about this stroller. Yes, it is simple to push and maneuver but it appears to be quite uncomfortable for a child.” – J. August 31, 2018, 1 star

“It easily maneuvers with one hand, and you’ll enjoy its fluid motion.” – C. February 10, 2021, 5 stars

“This stroller makes you feel as if you are flying.” – M. February 18, 2021, 5 stars, 5 stars

Safety and Quality

With its premium design and materials, the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double Stroller is among the nicest strollers in the market. Parents gave high scores for its sturdy frame, great wheels, ergonomic handlebar, and handbrake.

Its fabric attaches to the frame and is virtually seamless. Parents like the fabric as it has a tight fit but with an almost breathable feeling; it’s easy to clean, too.

This jogger’s frame is smooth and lightweight. There are only a few exposed connections. Its finish is clean, thanks to its sleek and thoughtful design.

It does have some issues with the design of its locking mechanism. It easily breaks, and some parents have had difficulty getting a replacement part or have been told that replacements aren’t available at all.

What parents say

“I like this stroller because while it’s big, it’s manageable. The locking mechanism that maintains the stroller in the folded position breaks and there is no replacement available, which is a big design defect that makes ownership much more difficult when packing it away or traveling with it (either by warranty or purchase).” – A. July 9, 2019, 3 stars

“The seat recline makes it difficult for my child to eat or drink properly.” – W. May 2, 2021, 2 stars

“This stroller is a great example of Thule’s commitment to quality. I’m very happy with it.” – B. February 20, 2018, 5 stars

Accessorize Your Thule Urban Glide 2 Double Stroller

For quicker access to the things your kids use most frequently, you may get the Thule Console 2, which has two cup holders and a zipped pocket. You can also purchase the Thule Urban Glider Snack Tray if you want to provide your tiny snackers easy access to food and beverages.

Many parents dislike the fact that accessories are not included with this stroller, such as the parent tray, child tray, cup holders, and rain cover.

What parents say

“With accessories that should ideally come with a $700 stroller, these are a scheme to make you spend more.” – T. April 25, 2021, 1 star

“My little one tried to consume snacks while laying back so far. The snack tray attachment looked out of place.” – E. October 9, 2021, 2 stars

“The water holder alone costs $60. It’s just absurd, given the price of this stroller.” – H. March 18, 2021, 3 stars

Parent Tip!

Even though it appears classy and stylish, the matching Thule cup holder is a bit small for the price. Check its dimensions first before considering a purchase. Purchase the bumper bar so that your child can use it as support during your runs.

Is the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double Stroller a Must-Have?

The Thule Urban Glide 2 Double boasts of premium construction. It goes without saying that parents will appreciate this super-hip and smooth-riding double jogger.

Its quality materials, movable tracking, outstanding suspension, and handlebar garner a thumbs up from parents. Its comfy recline for napping and individual adjustment canopies are quite popular with the little passengers. On top of that, if you especially like to jog or head off-road, this stroller is highly recommended.

Kindly note that it has a few hiccups such as its handlebar height limitation plus the not-too-tall seats.
