Thule Urban Glide 3

“Lightweight”, above median

Thule's three-wheel all-terrain stroller rides on 16-inch rear wheels and folds with one hand to a 12.2-inch-thin package that stands up. Thule says it is not designed for jogging and points runners to its Glide 3, and the 49 lb child limit sits below the 65 to 75 lb of the BOB and Baby Jogger joggers.
