Comment: We bought it brand new for running and everyday use. If we had only needed it for running, we would have gone for the standard Glide 2, but since we needed it for more, we chose the Urban Glide 2. It’s a very lovable stroller with numerous advantages and a few drawbacks. The handlebar is easy to adjust, folding it up is super simple, and cleaning it is a breeze. I especially loved the magnetic peek-a-boo window, as it didn’t wake up my child like the sound of Velcro would. Attaching and detaching the infant car seat was very easy, but once it was on, the center of gravity changed significantly, and it took quite a bit of time to get used to that. The stroller is wide, which just barely fit into the elevator where we live. It’s definitely worth measuring your doors or elevator beforehand. It’s not a small stroller, even when folded. It takes up quite a lot of space in a 580-liter trunk of a RAV4. We never got a flat tire, but I’ve seen in various Thule Facebook groups that this is a common issue for some users. When we bought it, there was an issue with the bearing above the front wheel, causing the stroller to shake during runs. From other Thule Urban Glide 2 users, I learned that this might have been a series issue, as it didn’t occur with the Urban Glide 1. We tried to get it replaced under warranty at the store, where we encountered an interesting problem. The salesperson claimed that this wasn’t a running stroller and told us to check the manual. We looked, and indeed, the instructions stated that “This product is not suitable for jogging...”. This was quite surprising since every website advertised it as a running stroller. In the end, the situation worked out in our favor, and they replaced it, and it’s been fine since. Another downside is that the seat cannot be adjusted to a fully upright position, which can be annoying for older kids. Also, nothing is included with the stroller by default; you have to buy everything separately. No bumper bar, rain cover, cup holder—nothing. Speaking of footrests, the footrest on this model isn’t adjustable at all. You can buy an extender on Amazon, which can be very helpful for a sleeping child.

Comment: It’s a safe but quite heavy seat that cannot be rotated or reclined. Its breathability is very poor, and as far as I know, this model is no longer available. The sunshade tends to tear easily over time, and the stitching frays. On the plus side, since it’s a MAXI-COSI, it’s compatible with almost everything.

Comment: This stroller is a suitable choice for urban terrain with two toddlers under 3 years old, ideally purchased before the birth of the first child. Since it comes with a shopping basket, it's a great option for navigating the store with one child. (Someone recently asked me if any Gazelle owner ever uses the shopping basket. The situation is that it significantly facilitates shopping.) I would recommend this stroller to parents who often need to travel or organize activities alone with two small children. When the older child is around 2 years old and prone to wander off, having such assistance can be invaluable. For me, visits to the zoo, wildlife parks, and beach strolls were much more reassuring because my older child couldn't suddenly run off in busier areas when I was alone with them. If you intend to put it in the trunk of a car, a Fiat 500 won't be enough; the stroller measures 83.57 x 64.52 x 30.99 cm when folded, so at least an estate car trunk will be necessary. When we started using it, my older child was 2 years old and 92 cm tall, while the younger one was 3 months old. Currently, my older child is over 3 years old and 104 cm tall. As seen in the picture, once we reach the seat's height capacity, our journey with the double stroller for two children will end. Considering that the stroller with 1 sports seat weighs 12.88 kg, I'll definitely be looking for a lighter alternative for my daughter from this point on.
