Thule - Urban Glide 2 Double

I looove my Thule. I got it second hand on Facebook marketplace and it’s been an absolute champ since day 1. The seats go almost flat, and with blankets I could put them snugly in the seats. I love the suspension. I felt like most strollers you could feel every bump, but with a jogging stroller it’s so much smoother and I’m not only stuck to perfectly paved places. First pic is when the boys were 2 weeks old (born at 34 weeks) Second pic is last week at 13months. https://imgur.com/a/SH1GVr7

Double urban glide 2

Your kids weight a fair bit more. I, a slow woman didn’t feel much difference pushing our double Thule stroller when the twins were 6ish months old on flat pavement. Now that they are 1.5years old it dramatically slows me down to push them.

Our Thule urban glide has over 1500 miles on it. Pics are from 3 weeks and 15months. I stopped wanting to push it when both boys hit 20lbs. My husband is still pretty comfortable pushing it if we are on pretty flat ground. The suspension on a good running stroller is sooo worth it even when you aren’t running, I could push it around our yard when they were newborn and not be bouncing them all over the place. We found it at about 1/3rd new price on Facebook marketplace. https://imgur.com/a/FtyOlpL

Love my Thule urban glide. Found it cheap on Facebook marketplace. It does fit through doors.

The Phil & Teds Duo Sport is decent for everyday use, but for actual jogging it can feel a bit heavy and less stable at pace. If you’re planning to run regularly, models like the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double or Out’n’About Nipper Double are much better for jogging – smoother ride, easier to steer, and lighter to push. Both also fold reasonably compactly. Since you’ll sometimes run with just the baby, check that the pram handles well with uneven weight distribution. Also worth measuring your boot space before buying – some doubles are long when folded.

I’m a big fan of our Thule UG2. We got it used from a family that had used it for like 3 yrs and we have used it as our primary stroller for the past 2 yrs and it’s still in really good shape. We got the car seat adaptor and used it from birth. Now you can also get the bassinet if you want to avoid using the car seat. It’s so easy to push around and maneuver and it does great in the snow. I also like how big the basket is. We just got a Thule chariot to be our main stroller, but I’m going to hold on the Urban Glide for a bit in case we need to bust it out for the winter.

Seconding the Thule Urban Glide. I have a v2 and it handles super well in the snow. You definitely need bike tires for dirt roads and snow

I have the Thule urban glide and it’s great for snow. I got the car seat adaptor and used it with my kid since birth. They also now sell the basinet attachment in Canada in case you wanted that

Personally I think if price isn't concern, go with the Thule Urban Glide 3 and attachment for bassinet and/or car seat. My MIL got us the Thule urban glide 2 kids back and it's still in amazing shape for baby number 3. It goes on literally ANY surface so easily and is insanely simple to fold up and operate. One handed driving through deep grass, sand, rocks? No problem. It's a jogging type stroller so it is very stable and easy to maneuver even at higher speeds if you are into jogging. Mine is the older version of course and it didn't have the option for bassinet or car seat back then but I'm hoping I can get the accessories this time around bc that would be amazing. That being said, it's not cheap. At all. We would have NEVER bought it for ourselves so we are lucky to have in laws that like to buy the best. 😅

We have a Thule "jogging" stroller (hint:I do not jog) that is absolutely wonderful. Folds so easily and maneuvers like a dream. I had another stroller that had the smaller wheels and they would get stuck turning around and it was always so annoying but the Thule has been magical.

Are you hoping to do infant inserts? I’m not sure if the Thule has car seat attachments or bassinet options for twins. We’ve had the bugaboo donkey and Thule. I’m a bigger fan of our Thule, personally, than the donkey. I like how it rides better, and it was so much cheaper than the donkey. That being said, if I had newborn twin again I would totally buy a stroller with double bassinet attachments. We got our donkey secondhand and it was a little broken (discovered after we got it). That notwithstanding I loved it for the newborn bassinets when they were little.

Get the urban glide if you live somewhere hilly as it has a hand break (I think mountain buggy also has one with a hand break). I have the double urban glide because I have twins and a singleton, and it's not compact enough for easy travelling (but maybe the single is better). Not having a hand break can be scary running down even a slight hill, and downright dangerous for steeper hills!

They honestly both have their merits. I have the uppababy vista, the Thule urban glide (side x side), and Thule chariot (side x side). I use the Thules for running and dog walks, but the main problem I'm having with side x side right now is just the amount of stroller drama (they are 12 months but this has been going on for a few months)..this includes biting, toy stealing, etc etc. The uppababy is good for the rare city outing (especially as they are still in their infant seats so they click right in), but I find it more difficult to steer, it is LONG (sorry door frames), and it has no breaks which I find incredibly useful living in a very hilly area!

I have two doubles, but they’re both big: UPPAbaby Vista and Thule Urban Glide Double. The opposite of lightweight, ha, but they’re for different purposes and I’m glad I have both. My perspective is that if you have the money, space, and need for a second, then it’s a good purchase.

I have the Vista, which was my main stroller with my first (20 month gap), and got a double Thule to run with after my second was born. They’re great strollers and serve different purposes. If you’ve got the resources and space, get both. I’m happy I’ve got both.

It’s fine! The Thule is way more maneuverable, but the Vista is so much easier to get in/out of the car and is super useful for errands. I really liked it when youngest was just born because I could easily remove the second seat for walks with the baby. The toddler is happy with it, though I need to switch his rumble seat with the baby’s regular seat because he’s getting too tall. Resisting because change is hard! And a bonus with the Vista is that it’s helpful to separate them when the toddler gets handsy. The Vista isn’t perfect, but I don’t think anything is, really. It does check nearly all of your boxes, as it did for me. Ultimately, it’s been fantastic, particularly alongside the double Thule.

Hier de zus. We hebben zowel de enkele als de dubbele Thule Urban Glide. Man loopt meerdere keren per week met de dubbele kinderwagen. Kinderen zijn inmiddels bij elkaar zo'n dertig kilo, hij loopt zo'n dertig seconden langzamer dan zonder kinderen. Wij zijn er mee begonnen toen onze kinderen rond de vijf/zes maanden waren. De nieuwe Thule Urban Glide 3 kun je de zitting erg vlak leggen en heeft een goede bescherming van de elementen door de kap die je erg ver naar beneden kunt trekken. Dat vind ik zeker een verbetering ten op zichten van de Urban Glide 2 (mocht je op Marktplaats gaan zoeken!). (ik loop zelf weinig met de hardloopkinderwagen omdat ik een chronische nek/schouderblessure heb).

Well hand in hand with picking a stroller comes picking infant car seats. You want car seats that click into the stroller and can accept two infant seats. A lot of people find doing an inline stroller such as the Uppababy Vista (that’s what I had) or the the generic double frame only stroller works well. I didn’t like the generic one (blanking on the model) since it was longer so felt like a boat. After that, a lot of people go to something easier, like the Zoe twin or Uppababy minu double. Another option is to switch to a wagon (not my vote) or get a big neighborhood walking stroller if that’s your thing (it’s mine!) like a double BOB jogger or the Thule urban glide double. It all depends on how you use them! Other factors matter too like if you live in a super urban area and only take public transit, if you live in an upper level apartment, if you live by a bunch of trails, etc. Shop used as much as possible.

Long-term, you don’t want a forward/back tandem. You’ll want a side-by-side because it’s so much less cumbersome. Consider the City Mini GT or the Thule Urban Glide Duo.
