Thule Glide 2
The Thule Glide 2 is a new generation of the robust yet lightweight stroller primarily destined for jogging or sports - the Thule Glide 1. The Glide 2 was released in January 2018. Apart from the more modern and straightforward design, the stroller introduces the new, simplified, twist-style decelerating handbrake located on the handlebar, suitable for right-handed as well as for left-handed parents. An automatic lock has replaced the manual one, preventing unfolding. The extendable hood is now fixed to the backrest. More elements that are reflective were added, together with a bumper bar, an improved rain cover, and a new type of car seat adapters.
The three large wheels are adapted to deliver the best jogging experience. The front wheel is fixed to ensure maximum comfort when moving fast. The rear wheels feature a soft suspension system, and you can easily remove them if a compact fold is required.
Thanks to the super-spacious, non-reversible seat and high weight capacity, the Glide 2 is able to accommodate an older child too. The backrest can be reclined quite deeply, but it’s not a complete, 180 degrees full lie-flat. The leg rest is not adjustable. To increase the practicality of the Glide 2, there are internal pockets for small items integrated into the seat, and you can also opt for a child tray. The stroller can be used from birth paired with the carrycot or various brands of car seats (adapters needed). Other accessories are sold separately.

Parent reviews of the Thule Glide 2
- Light weight
- Easy to drive
- Goes over everything
- Perfect for jogging and roller skating
- Design
- No full lie flat nor full upright sitting position
- No calf rest adjustment
- Very long so lifts, public transport and shops can be a problem, but it is not an urban buggy
The perfect pushchair for terrain and sport.
- LArge seat
- Large storage space
- Very nice to steer, "one-finger" driving
- I never had a better stroller
- A bit too long
The best we ever had. I am extremely happy with this jogger. I look forward to spring to go run with my son again. 100% recommended.
- Quality

We love it. Great for inline skating. Recommended.
