Thule Urban Glide 3 and Thule Urban Glide 3 Double with UPPAbaby Infant Car Seat
Pairing a jogging stroller with an UPPAbaby infant car seat takes one specific accessory and a few minutes of setup. This collection brings together the Thule Urban Glide 3 and Urban Glide 3 Double along with the universal car seat adapter that lets you click an UPPAbaby Mesa or Aria into the frame and head out the door. It's built for running parents who want a travel system without giving up the smooth ride of a true jogging stroller.
What Matters Most When Building This Travel System
- The right adapter: the Thule Universal Car Seat Adapter is the connector that bridges the Urban Glide 3 frame and an UPPAbaby infant seat. Without it, the seat won't lock in safely.
- Single vs. double frame: the single Urban Glide 3 holds one infant seat at the front; the Double accepts one infant seat on the left side (facing the stroller) plus a toddler in the other seat, but cannot carry two infant seats for newborn twins.
- Handlebar height: the adjustable ergonomic handlebar suits a wide range of parent heights, a useful spec for taller runners who often outgrow fixed-bar joggers.
- Storage and access: the Urban Glide 3 added a larger basket and a self-standing fold, so the adapter can stay attached during everyday folding.
- Terrain: the fixed front wheel locks for runs, then swivels for errands and city sidewalks.
Why Parents Choose the Urban Glide 3 for an UPPAbaby Travel System
The Urban Glide 3 refined nearly every touchpoint over the previous generation. Expect a built-in adjustable leg rest, a more upright seat position for older babies who want to look around, a self-standing fold, and a flip-flop-friendly brake pedal. Combined with an UPPAbaby infant car seat, it covers newborn through preschool without a frame change.
- For active parents: a true jogger with a locking front wheel, shock absorption, and a hand-activated rear brake for downhill control.
- For growing families: the Double seats two toddlers side by side and accepts one infant car seat when paired with the adapter.
- For everyday use: one-handed recline, peek-a-boo canopy window, and a fold compact enough for most SUV cargo areas.
