Thule Glide 3 vs Veer Switch&Jog
The Veer Switch&Jog works from birth with its infant insert, takes a bassinet or car seat on adapters sold separately, and has a 30 lb basket and a handlebar from 39 to 43 inches. Thule's Glide 3 prints no age minimum, lists Maxi-Cosi and Chicco adapters and a bassinet as accessories, and has a 15 lb basket. The Glide 3 is the lighter, 24.9 lb against 28.7, and $49 cheaper at $850 against $899; Veer's price covers frame and seat. Folded, the Glide 3 is 35 inches long, 22.8 wide and 12 high; the Veer is 19 x 27 x 35, a shorter and fatter package. Child limits are 49 lb on the Thule and 50 lb on the Veer. If the stroller has to start at birth, the Veer is the one with a plan for it.
Folded, the Thule Glide 3 makes a 5.54 cu ft box to the Veer Switch&Jog's 10.39 cu ft. Neither fits a 22 x 14 x 9 in carry-on sizer: the Thule Glide 3 misses by 13 in and the Veer Switch&Jog by 13 in. The Thule Glide 3 is 3.8 lb lighter by its maker's figure (24.9 lb to 28.7 lb).
