Our Analysis, Comparisons and Test Results

Ease of use

Eight, third in this guide behind the Minu Duo and the Vista v3. The twist-grip handbrake is the feature: Sarah and David used it to hold their speed down the steep descents around Mount Bonnell without straining their wrists, and Elena and Carlos steered it one-handed with two children aboard. The cost shows at the car. The Jenkins family had to pop the quick-release rear wheels off to close the hatch of a mid-sized SUV.

Maneuverability

Seven and a half, fifth of nine. In the open it is excellent: on Michigan Avenue in Chicago it went through slush and cracked sidewalks without a wheel catching. Indoors it is a wide stroller. At 31.5 inches across, the brownstone foyer was tight and older apartment elevator doors needed careful lining up, which is why a stroller this good on the street still scores below the Minu Duo and the City Mini GT2.

Transport & storing

Six and a half, third of nine, and it is the heaviest stroller here at 35.3 lb. The guide lists the folded size at 34.5 × 31.0 × 19.0 in. Sarah and David only got it into a mid-sized SUV by taking the quick-release rear wheels off. Measure your trunk with the wheels on, then decide whether you are willing to take them off every time.

Build quality

Eight and a half, third behind the BOB and the Vista v3. The hardware is what you would want under two children: 16-inch air-filled rear wheels, a 12-inch front swivel with a tracking lock, and rear suspension that took the ruts on the unpaved gravel along Lady Bird Lake. Nothing in the testers' notes flagged a weak point in the frame, fabric or fittings.

Kid comfort

Eight and a half, the highest in this guide. The suspension absorbed every rut on the gravel at Lady Bird Lake, and the ventilated UPF 50+ canopy extensions kept air moving through 95°F afternoons in Austin. Both seats take a child up to 49 lb.

Run-ability

Nine, the highest in this guide. It tracks dead straight at a 7-minute mile pace, the suspension eats up pavement cracks, and the twist handbrake gives excellent downhill control without breaking stride. Only the Thule, the BOB and the Baby Trend Expedition were run, so only they carry this score.

Should You Buy the Thule Urban Glide 3 Double?

Buy it for this: Twist-grip handbrake controlled speed on steep descents without straining wrists. Rear suspension absorbed ruts on unpaved gravel.

Go in knowing this: Heaviest stroller in this test at 35.3 lb. Quick-release rear wheels came off to close an SUV hatch.

Because every double stroller here met the same six criteria, a low column is a trade-off rather than a defect. Work out which column you would notice, then buy on that.
