Nuna TRVL dubl vs Thule Urban Glide 3 Double
The Thule Urban Glide 3 Double costs $50 more at $1,000 and weighs 10.1 lb more, 35.3 lb to the TRVL dubl's 25.2. It folds large, 34.6 x 31.1 x 13.4 inches, and Thule says it needs a 31.5-inch doorway. The TRVL dubl folds with one hand to 19.75 x 30.5 x 27.75 and stands up. Thule's own page says the Urban Glide 3 is not designed for jogging, so what you gain is a rougher-ground design with a hand brake for hills. Car seats are the other split: the Nuna takes a Pipa directly but can only hold one seat, on the wider side, while Thule offers adapters for Maxi-Cosi and Chicco KeyFit, sold separately, and sells its own infant seats and bassinets. Child limit is 50 lb per seat on the Nuna and 49 on the Thule. Families with two infants in car seats may find neither works. For everyone else, how often the stroller goes into a car or through a narrow door decides it, and that favors the Nuna.
Folded, the Thule Urban Glide 3 Double makes a 8.34 cu ft box to the Nuna TRVL dubl's 9.67 cu ft. Neither fits a 22 x 14 x 9 in carry-on sizer: the Nuna TRVL dubl misses by 13.75 in and the Thule Urban Glide 3 Double by 17.1 in. The Nuna TRVL dubl is 10.1 lb lighter by its maker's figure (25.2 lb to 35.3 lb). The Nuna TRVL dubl is newborn-ready as sold; the Thule Urban Glide 3 Double needs a bassinet, insert or infant car seat for the first months. Nuna PIPA series seats click straight onto the Nuna TRVL dubl; every seat listed for the Thule Urban Glide 3 Double needs an adapter.
