*This post may contain affiliate links, which means I may receive a small commission, at no cost to you, if you make a purchase through a link!* Hi friends! *Today’s post is NOT sponsored but does include affiliate links. I only recommend products that I use and love. All opinions are my own. This is a post I’ve been dying to write! After I gave birth to Macie, I was so eager to get back to running. At my appointment at 4 weeks postpartum, I was cleared to get back to running and exercising which I was really excited about. I had done a lot of research on when I could start running with Macie and to be honest, I got a lot of mixed answers. Some moms went out super early with their babies while others waited months. So there was a lot of in between. We also don’t use the traditional “bucket” style infant carseat. We use the Maxi-Cosi Pria 85 Max Convertible Car Seat which is for babies from 5-85lbs. So that was another detail I had to take into consideration. However, I have a friend who has this same jogging stroller and she took her son out at around 6 weeks and just put an infant insert cushion. I took that advice and ran with it (pun totally intended 🤷🏼♀️). I think I took Macie out in the stroller at 5 weeks and used an infant insert cushion just like my friend had suggested. And…it worked a charm! So, now that I’ve been running with my Thule Urban Glide for a good few weeks, today I wanted to give y’all a review of the stroller. I will warn you that this is a totally in-depth review so buckle up! Thule Urban Glide Jogging Stroller Review For starters, Ryan and I had been eyeing up the Thule jogging stroller since well before Macie was born (we may have even been talking about it before we even got pregnant). The Thule jogging stroller (any of them honestly) are definitely an investment. I will say that right off the bat. It’s an expensive stroller and we were lucky enough to find one second hand for about half the price of retail. The one we found also had the parent console and the child snack tray. It was a killer deal that I just couldn’t pass up. I have to be honest though and say that especially now that I’ve used it, I would absolutely, 100% have paid retail for this stroller. When we end up needing a double, Thule is absolutely the brand I will be going for because it’s just that good. The Swedes know what’s up when it comes to crafting transportation (we also happen to own a Volvo…also a Swedish brand 🙈😂) and I don’t think we’ll ever look back now that we’ve used it. Let’s talk about why I love this stroller so much (and why it’s so popular amongst so many runners) as opposed to others. When I was pregnant, we did a lot of research on jogging strollers. When we were registering, we went to the store and physically tested out a bunch of different jogging strollers. We tried out the running world’s other favorite jogger the BOB and personally, I found the BOB super bulky and heavy. Others, I felt were cheap and just knew they wouldn’t hold up for the long run (totally didn’t intend on that pun). But the Thule jogger was super smooth, easy to push, and felt sleek to run/walk behind. This stroller is called the Urban “Glide” and it totally lives up to it’s name. I can easily push this stroller with one hand and it doesn’t feel like a struggle. One of the many features about this stroller that I love is that the front wheel can be locked for running or it be unlocked for just general “strolling” which makes this stroller a great all-in-one option and for those of you that see that price tag and freak out…think about the fact that it can be that all-in-one option for you. From top to bottom, the craftsmanship of this stroller is amazing. The handle bar is sturdy and comfortable and it’s adjustable so that any height can push this comfortably. I am 5′ 5″ and my husband is 6′ and we can both run with this stroller very comfortably. Going along with that, something that’s great is how they built this stroller to have ample room for any stride. Ryan and I can both run behind this really nicely and without having to worry that we might kick the under-carriage. As I mentioned, the one we bought second-hand came with the parent console and I’m so happy it did. I couldn’t imagine not having this. I usually run with headphones but with Macie, I like to be able to hear if she’s crying and I generally just feel weird if I run behind the stroller with headphones. But I like to still have music playing. If I didn’t have this parent console, it would make doing that a lot more difficult since there’s really no other place to put it other than in the basket underneath. In regards to the parent console itself, this thing is super sturdy! I’ve seen parent consoles for other strollers and they just seem so flimsy. This one, you can feel good about putting your stuff in without having to worry that it will fall down. I usually hold my phone and my full set of keys on here and sometimes I’ll put a water bottle in the cup holder. It holds everything really nicely and like I said, is sturdy and I’ve not yet worried it might fall off. The shade is really big and durable and even has a small section at the very end that’s kind of an extra sun shade for those really sunny days. The shade has been great for us especially since Macie is still so little and I lay her down completely flat. The shade almost covers her entirely as it is really great protection for her from the sun and from the wind. I haven’t run in any type of weather or anything but I can imagine this being great if it were raining a bit. The material of the shade is tough and well-made and the stability of the shade is excellent. It has a flap that you can lift up to check in on your little one. It’s magnetic so you won’t have to worry about it flying up or anything in the wind. It can also be rolled up and tucked into the shade so you can keep it open all the time. Seat wise, there’s not really a whole lot I can say to be honest. It is very sturdy (are you noticing the pattern here with the entire stroller being pretty “sturdy” haha) and has a decent amount of padding so it seems like it would be quite comfortable for your little one. I mentioned above that I’ve been running with Macie using the JJ Cole reversible body support cushion. We use this in both the jogging stroller and our regular stroller and we love it. Macie has always had pretty good head and neck control but even so, I’ve never felt like she was not secure in this seat with the insert. The seat moves up and down (from incline to recline) really easily from behind the seat on the parent side. I always hate a stroller that makes it difficult to lay your child down or put them back up again but this one is really easy and simple. The straps on the seat are really secure. They wrap around your child’s lower back area and hold her snug along with the shoulder straps. The buckle is pretty much child-proof and would be difficult for your little one to get out of. A feature that many parents love. It also has elastic, mesh cup holders on either side of your child on the inside of the carriage where you could keep a cup or bottle or even a little toy or snack container. This touch is super nice and I love the idea of that added storage there! Ours also came with the child snack tray and while Macie isn’t big enough yet for us to use this, I can already imagine this coming in super handy! Last but not least, is the basket underneath the stroller. This basket is HUGE, you guys. I have a pretty large diaper bag and can just about fit the whole thing under there (I don’t run with it but just for a bit of reference). Since we just use this as a jogging stroller and not our everyday stroller, we really don’t have that much to put under here for now. However, if I were going on a longer run (I’ve only been running for 10-15 minutes at a time easing back into it) this could house diapers, wipes, a change of clothes for the baby, a blanket, extra water and a sweatshirt or jacket for you plus other stuff I’m sure! A nice extra touch about the basket is that it is lined on the bottom with a hard plastic that makes it waterproof from both the inside and out. That means easy clean-up which makes for a happy mama and daddy! Oh! Also, the back wheels come off really easily! This is really useful for those that have smaller trunks and need to take the wheels off to store it. A nice touch that Thule added on the stroller is that anything that comes off or moves on the stroller itself is a bright blue button. This makes it super easy to identify what will come off or adjust and what doesn’t. As you can see, our Thule fits really nicely, with room to spare in the trunk of our Volvo XC90 next to our everyday stroller, the Baby Jogger City Select Lux. Final Thoughts All-in-all, I seriously love this stroller, you guys. Like I said, especially after having gotten this at a steal I can say with confidence that if you are paying full-price, it’s absolutely worth it.
