Unfortunately I have to write, I am very disappointed in the stroller! I find the handbrake awkward, the way the seating position can only be adjusted by straps is rather frustrating as it always takes two hands and a shoulder and when using the accessories, rain, as much as the mosquito cover, which are really uncomfortable to put on, almost impossible if you’re using the „winter sack“, you can never see the baby anymore, the use of the „window“ is impossible. By using the mosquito netting you loose almost all wind circulation ! Not nice for the baby on hot summer days! On top you have to literally take the whole thing on/off to access the baby, a lost pacifier takes a whole minute… stop running.
Additionally the sun shade has to always be all the way down when using any accessories, so the child looses most visibility and gets frustrated rather quickly, understandable!
Would never chose this stroller due to its accessories again !!

Overview
Description
Thule’s Glide 2 is a lightweight, high-performance jogging stroller for serious running, built with trusted Thule style, quality and know-how.
The three-wheeled design has large, bicycle-style tires with 18” rear wheels that give you space to stride and a fixed 16” front wheel that provides stability whatever the terrain. The height-adjustable handlebar has a security strap and an integrated twist break—a truly excellent feature for controlling speed when you’re going downhill. All-wheel suspension makes for a smooth ride.
The seat and canopy on this stroller are similar to its sibling, the Urban Glide 2. The medium-size canopy has with an extension, mesh-ventilated sides for air flow, and a peek-a-boo window with a silent magnetic cover. The padded seat reclines with one hand.
Where the Urban Glide 2 has a parent console and a covered cargo basket, the Glide 2 is more pared down, omitting the console and cover in order to shave off precious ounces. It does have an open cargo basket, however, as well as mesh pockets in the stroller seat for your baby’s essentials. Reflective rims and canopy trim give you extra visibility in low light.
The Glide 2 is easy to fold and unfold, though it is not self-standing. The wheels do come off easily with a quick release.

Incompatible bassinet
This was placed on our registry prior to the urban glide 3 coming to the market and we received it as a gift in December for our baby who arrived in April.
Upon receiving the stroller, we added the bassinet to our registry and once a friend went to purchase, the link no longer worked and they purchased the bassinet for the urban glide 3.
Once opening this, we quickly realized the bassinet for the glide 3 is not compatible with the glide 2 and that there is no longer a bassinet offered by Thule that's compatible with the urban glide 2.
Customer support told us that we'd be unable to return the bassinet as it was purchased outside the 30 day window. So now we have a bassinet of no use to us, and can't use this stroller as Thule no longer offers a compatible bassinet.

No longer offers a bassinet that's compatible
Received this stroller as a gift in December and added the bassinet for the Urban Glide 2 to our registry shortly after. Once a friend went to purchase, the link was no longer available and they went ahead and purchased the bassinet for the Glide 3. Upon opening this past month, we quickly found out it wasn't compatible. When trying to find a compatible bassinet we were told the bassinet for the glide 2 was no longer available and that we could not return the bassinet for the glide 3 although it's useless to us at this point. Very frustrating process with very little help from customer support.

Excellent choice for the serious runner
We decided to go with this model instead of the Urban Glide because we are both dedicated runners and the big wheel was supposed to allow you to go fast and far.
Overall I am very happy with the choice. The Glide folds up really nicely, which is perfect for our small space. It also moves really well, especially if you put some grease on the wheels. There is enough storage for a diaper bag, and the quality of the stroller is excellent. I also like the the larger front wheel can overcome curbs/obstacles more easily than a stroller with a smaller front wheel. Should be good for winter when there are snow piles on sidewalks.
The only drawbacks are that it is harder to tackle turns since the front wheel is fixed, and it’s hard to navigate small spaces. It also took some getting used to. I had trouble with the front wheel pulling to the left when I first assembled the stroller, and it might take a bit of practice to get it on straight. Nonetheless, I would purchase this stroller again.

Four stars
This is the second stroller from Thule we have purchased, after taking a seven year break betweeen infants. The older model we had - the front wheel could be locked in place or allowed to rotate freely. This model does not give you the option, making turns a tad difficult. (Hence the four stars) we would have ordered a different stroller had it been made more clear about the front wheel- and are happy with what we have now.

Awesome outdoor stroller
We've gone on quite a few runs with our now 9 month old in this stroller, as well as using it for some general outdoor purposes, and it's simply outstanding. It rolls very smoothly, takes down and puts together as simply as I think one could ask for, and the sun-shade and lay-down functionality keeps our little one protected and comfortable. Riding in this is something she really enjoys! We're looking forward to many more miles, hopefully working her up to a formal half-marathon and perhaps beyond.
One limitation is that it's definitely a dedicated running / outdoor stroller. I expect trying to navigate inside a store or any enclosed spaces with it would be very awkward and frustrating.

Our new favorite stroller
We bought the Thule glide 2 as our first running stroller and we use it for everything now. My husband goes on daily walks with our son and I’ve been on a few runs with him. It’s smooth, fun to push, and super easy to run with. We are still getting used to the fixed front wheel but wouldn’t change anything about it.

Great, mostly
It is indeed a fast and fun stroller once you've become acquainted with its size and maneuvering.
So, why 4 stars? Mine has developed a slight left steering bias after a few runs. The tire pressure is the same in all wheels so it's probably brake rub or something else that requires a closer look. I didn't expect that on a nearly new stroller.
Knowing this, would I get any other stroller? Probably not. I'd still let this one. I suppose just beware of maintenance.

Effortless performance
We just had our first babe later in life for both of us and were adamant about incorporating her into our lifestyle. We are both very active, love being outdoors and running. From the first time we started using it, our pace was barely effected. We mainly run on gravel trails and uneven surfaces so avoided the Urban Glide and we could not be happier with our decision. The harness for the babe is comfortable. She loves having her feet at an angle and we can often see her kicking them with joy. The vents on the side keep some nice airflow. The "window" on the top of the awning is super convenient to verify she is fine and secure. The adjustable handle is super convenient since my wife and I have different preferences. It is light, compact, and easy to assemble and disassemble. Couldn't be happier with our choice since there are a plethora of other options.
