How to choose a jogging stroller

A true running stroller is specifically engineered for higher-speed movement and repetitive running motion. Features such as a fixed front wheel, running-specific geometry, integrated hand brake and enhanced stability help provide a smoother and safer experience for both parent and child.

In the Thule stroller range, Thule Glide 3 is the stroller designed and approved for running. If your primary goal is to run regularly with your child, choosing a dedicated running stroller is essential.

Running with a jogging stroller does add some resistance to a standard run; therefore, Thule jogging strollers are designed with performance in mind.

• Lightweight aluminum frame minimizes the total weight being pushed
• Aerodynamic design reduces wind interference
• Oversized, air-filled tires ensure a smooth glide over various terrain
• Twist hand break helps control downhill and forward speeds

Although you can expect your average running speed to be slower while pushing a running stroller, Thule Glide 3 is designed to deliver a smooth, high-performance running experience. Thule has a long history of innovation in running strollers, with several models earning Guinness World Records for the fastest marathon or half marathon while pushing a stroller.

Parents can jog with their children as early as 6 months of age, although you should always consult a pediatrician before jogging with children under 1 year old. While running is only recommended once your child is old enough, Thule Glide 3 can be used from birth for everyday strolls when paired with a compatible infant car seat and adapter.

Safety is at the forefront of every Thule product design, and Thule Glide 3 is no exception. Designed and built specifically for running, it combines lightweight performance with comfort and safety features. Your child gets a smooth, comfortable ride thanks to the rear suspension and the canopy that helps protect them from the elements. Most importantly, every Thule stroller meets stringent safety standards, with features such as a 5-point safety harness to help keep your child secure.

To help ensure the safest ride possible, please follow these guidelines:

• Never leave the child unattended
• Put on the park brake whenever you park a child carrier
• Do not carry extra children or bags on the child carrier
• Be mindful of environmental hazards such as wind chill and heat exhaustion
• Do not allow any of the children’s body, clothing, shoe laces, or toys to come into contact with moving parts

Thule Glide 3 is designed to grow with your child, from approximately 6 months of age up to 4 years old, with a maximum weight capacity of 49 lbs. / 22 kg. It includes an adjustable 5-point harness to help keep your child secure and comfortable as they grow.

For younger children, Thule Glide 3 can be used for everyday walks with compatible infant accessories. However, you should not start running with your child until they are old enough to ride in the toddler seat. Always consult a pediatrician if you are concerned or unsure if your child is ready.

Thule Glide 3 can be cleaned regularly with warm water and a mild soapy solution. Never use harsh cleaners or solvents, as proper service and care help maintain the stroller's performance and safety.

The Thule Stroller Seat Liner is a great accessory to help keep your stroller clean. When it gets dirty from spills or messes, you can simply throw it in the washing machine.
