What reviewers say about the Thule Urban Glide 3

Wirecutter (NYT) — the only whitelisted tester with a hands-on review of this exact model — names the Thule Urban Glide 3 its top jogging stroller after testing 18 models, praising its light weight, pavement glide and high-quality build (timed assembly: five minutes, no extra tools). Main gripes: an awkward twist/swivel hand brake, better-on-pavement-than-trails performance, and a bulkier redesigned canopy. Retailer, blog and non-whitelisted gear sites were excluded.

Based on 1 review · 1 lab-tested · 2026-02-23

Tested by Wirecutter

Consistently praised

  • Glides effortlessly and feels faster and more agile on pavement than any other model tested; no shaking, wiggle or lateral movement
  • Lightest of the three picks (about 26 lb, ~5 lb less than the BOB Gear Wayfinder), so it is nimble and significantly easier to lift into a car trunk
  • Noticeably high-quality build and materials; four years of running/walking with no loosened screws or flat tires
  • Curved, adjustable handlebar comfortably suited runners from 5'3" to 6'3"; soft, wide, well-padded harness with padded crotch strap

Commonly flagged

  • Swivel/twist hand brake is awkward at speed versus a squeeze-style bicycle brake
  • Better on pavement than trails; manual specifies public roads and smooth paths, not long-distance trail running
  • Redesigned canopy is bulkier and springs outward while running, needing constant readjustment
  • Doesn't stand well when folded (often falls over) and needs two hands to buckle the harness

Where reviewers disagree Only one whitelisted tester (Wirecutter) reviewed this exact model, so no cross-source disagreement could be assessed. Non-whitelisted gear blogs were excluded per the tester whitelist.

Assembly time (timed by testers): five minutes

It glides effortlessly on pavement, and it feels faster and more agile than any other model we looked at.
Out of all the jogging strollers we tested, the Thule Urban Glide has the most qualities to love and the fewest downsides.
The Urban Glide’s swivel column requires you to curl your wrist back in a slightly awkward position, which can be tough to hold mid-run.
