Why is the Thule Urban Glide 3 our all-terrain pick?
The Thule Urban Glide 3 is built for ground that defeats ordinary strollers. Thule fits it with large 16 in air-filled tires, a front wheel that swivels or locks, a twist hand brake and suspension. BabyGearLab scored its maneuverability 9.5 out of 10, with top marks on pavement. It weighs 26.2 lb, holds 15 lb in a basket with a zip-top cover, and the seat is rated to 49 lb.
Two things to know. Newborns need the Thule bassinet or a car seat adapter, both sold separately. And per Thule's own FAQ, the Urban Glide 3 is not approved for running. If you want to run, see our best jogging stroller.
All-terrain or jogging stroller: what's the difference?
An all-terrain stroller has big wheels and suspension for gravel, grass, dirt paths and rough sidewalks at walking pace. A jogging stroller is designed and approved by its maker for running, usually with a fixed or lockable front wheel, a hand brake and a wrist strap. Some strollers look like joggers but aren't approved for running, so always check what the maker says. Jogging stroller makers set a minimum age for running, so check the manual before you run with a baby.
What should you look for?
- Wheel size and type: bigger, air-filled tires roll over bumps best, but can puncture. Foam-filled or rubber tires never go flat.
- Suspension: all-wheel suspension makes a big difference on rough ground.
- A lockable front wheel and hand brake: for control on slopes and uneven paths.
- Folded size: big wheels mean a long fold. The Urban Glide 3 folds to 34.6×22.8×12.2 in. See how to measure your trunk.
All-terrain stroller FAQ
What is the best all-terrain stroller?
The Thule Urban Glide 3 is our pick. It has large 16 in air-filled tires, a twist hand brake and a lockable front wheel for gravel, grass and rough paths. It weighs 26.2 lb and costs $799.95. Thule says it is not approved for running.
Can you run with the Thule Urban Glide 3?
No. Per Thule's own FAQ, the Urban Glide 3 is not approved for running, even though it looks like a jogging stroller. It's designed for walking on mixed ground. If you want to run, choose a stroller its maker approves for running.
Is the Baby Jogger City Mini GT3 an all-terrain stroller?
Baby Jogger markets it for city streets and forest trails, with rubber tires and all-wheel suspension. It's lighter than the Thule at 21.6 lb and costs less at $479.99, with a one-hand, self-standing fold. Its wheels are smaller, so it suits parks better than rough trails.
Do air-filled tires go flat?
They can, like bike tires, so keep a pump handy and check the pressure now and then. In return they give the smoothest ride on rough ground. Foam-filled and rubber tires never go flat but absorb fewer bumps.
