Our Verdict: Thule Urban Glide 3

The Thule Urban Glide 3 scored 94 out of 100 across the five criteria we score every jogging stroller on, and took Best Jogging Stroller Overall in our jogging stroller guide.

Pavement and packed dirt are where it earns its 94. It rolled along them without effort, held a line better than anything else in the guide, and the Taylor household found its twist handbrake the easiest way to manage a descent.

There is little to mark it down for. The testers wrote no complaint, and the one soft spot is that they never described it on washboard or roots, so the rough-trail verdict belongs to the BOB Alterrain Pro.

Our Analysis, Comparisons and Test Results

Ride & suspension

Nine, joint second of 9. It glides effortlessly on pavement and packed dirt, which is where most runs happen. The notes do not describe it on washboard or roots.

Tracking & steering at pace

Ten, first of 9. The only 10 in this guide for tracking. The testers found highly responsive tracking, and the maker lists a swivel front wheel that locks into place for higher speeds.

Braking & safety

Nine: joint second of the 9 strollers. The integrated twist handbrake is best-in-class for downhill speed control, in the testers' words. It sits just behind the Ridge's disc brakes on score.

Fold & transport

Eight, joint first in this guide. The maker lists a one-hand fold and the notes record no fold complaint. They also say nothing about weight or folded size, and we could not confirm the maker's figures, so check both against your trunk.

Kid comfort

Nine, joint first in this guide. The notes say little about the seat. The maker lists a built-in legrest, an adjustable recline, a ventilated canopy with full coverage and a magnetic 5-point harness.

Should You Buy the Thule Urban Glide 3?

Choose it if your week is mostly sidewalk loops and packed trails and you want the strongest handling at pace: the front wheel locks for speed, and the tracking scored the guide's only 10.

Check two things before you buy. The testers gave no weight or folded size for it, and we could not confirm the maker's figures, so measure your trunk first.

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