Anytime Melissa! It's been a great stroller, we still use it all the time 3 years later and holding up great!

Yeah totally sold on these! You guys rock
Oh I am excited for ya, its really been such an amazing stroller!
I have been looking for just the stroller part and can’t seem to find it could you link it for me Thankyou
SOOO HELPFUL THAAANKK YOOUUU🤞🏼🥲
anytime! hope you have a wonderful week!
First 5 mins and I’m sold 😭😭
seriously it has been such an awesome stroller! Its been super versatile and worked great for 2 babes!
This stroller is not available in buybuybaby where I went for many baby items I got the cyber gazelle s last week, it’s cheaper than the uppa baby
@@lindsyparra awesome, hope you like it!
Works just like it's supposed to 😊
for sure! wahoo!
Hi, is it possible to set the seats so that the bassinet is at the top place facing you and the toddler seat is on the lowerplace facing away from you? I can't find any pictures of a set up like this so was wondering 😊 thanks in advance!
Hi! That is a great question! I think that would be able to be a possibility if the adapters for the toddler seat where set up high enough on the stroller but am not positive though. I have never tried it with that configuration, but will give it a try and let you know!
Question 🙋🏼♀️
The stroller link in the description box shows the ‘Sleek 4 Wheel Convertible Stroller’ in the color grey.
Is that the same exact one you have?
Purchasing from that exact link for that exact product, will I be purchasing the stroller ONLY? Or does it come with that exact seat on the picture too?
I hope I’m making sense sorry, it’s pretty late where I am. Lol Hopefully you can answer my questions.. THANK YOU!!!
Hi, I have the black one! Here is a link to it. On the right of the page it has a few color options and you can pick black there. To make it a double stroller you will also need the sibling seat and adapters. I am excited for you, its been such an awesome stroller! Its been 2 years since we have had it and its been amazing! bit.ly/2ZOYn10 If you have any others questions about it, let me know!
great video, hv u thought of the donkey2 or 3 b4 going with thule? im still trying to make up my mind...
yes we have thought about those, I have heard good things about them! We actually just got a new stroller and got the Thule Urban Glide 2 Double and have been loving it! I still LOVVE this Thule Sleek stroller and keep it in my car for everyday adventures and travels! Picking a stroller is so hard, but my top favorite for twins is the Thule Sleek!
Great video! Is there a space for riding board for 3rd kid? We have a 2.5 year old singleton and expecting twins..
yes there is! Thule sells one for the stroller but it doesn't come with it.
Thank you for sharing this review! It was so helpful! I was curious how you found the seat material held up after cleaning? Was it pretty absorbant to stains or was it pretty easy to clean and still look nice? :)
Hi Katrina! I have had this stroller and been using it almost daily for over 2 years now and found its all held up awesome! Easy to clean, wet wipes or wet rag really wipes it down great. My mom saw it a few weeks ago and she said she was shocked at how new it still looked.
Hi Guys! Thanks so much for this review. Have you found now the girls are older that going over bumps is hard as in is it hard to tip the stroller a bit to get onto like the sidewalk? I had a tandem stroller like this and I couldn’t tip it with my toddler down the bottom seat it was just too hard.
It's been great, we have loved this stroller and take it out on lots of adventures! our girls are 2 now and we havent had any problems feeling like the stroller will tip or going over bumps. It has felt stable to me with the kids getting in and out. I take this stroller out with us to the zoo and aquarium often. I push the stroller up on curbs with both kids in it by myself and it's worked great for me.
@@HangWithTheBangs thank you so much for the quick reply! Have a great day!!
@@themumreviews766 anytime! Hope you have a great day too!
Hi thanks for this video! I just purchased this stroller for my 14 month old with plans to grow our family sometime within the next 1 to 2 years. Do you still like this stroller? Any cons you found/ would you recommend just going with a different stroller if you don’t have twins? Thanks so much.
we have loved this stroller and have used it almost everyday for the past 2 years! The only cons for me is having to use attachments, but that goes for every stroller when converting it to a 2 seater, so I guess I would have that con with every stroller! haha but these attachments are so easy to use compared to other strollers I have tried. I honestly love this stroller and would still recommend it after using it for 2 years :)
@@HangWithTheBangs ah that is reassuring to hear! I ordered this 2 weeks ago and it’s still backordered! I was tempted to cancel and give in to the uppababy vista but i think you may be convincing me to just be patient, haha. I have heard that the sleek’s harness is not the best. Any feedback on that? Also, I know this is not a jogging stroller, but have you had any experience taking it for a light jog? Thanks again, so much! :)
@@apryllou the uppa baby vista is a great stroller. I was debating that one but after testing these two out side by side I decided on the Thule sleek. the sleek also has a bit more leg room on the kids seats and between them which I liked. We haven't had a problem with the harnesses, they have been great. This stroller as a single set up works great for jogging. With two you can still jog with it its just a bit longer but works good. We live in the snow and would jog through the snow with this stroller and it's been awesome. I loved this stroller so much, I ended up getting a thule jogging stroller to take out on jogs/walks and then I could have a stroller in my car at all times too!
@@HangWithTheBangs thank you SO much! I appreciate your input and I am convinced to wait patiently for our stroller to arrive! Can’t wait to use it! Thank you again ☺️
@@apryllou oh I am excited for you! Its been an awesome stroller, hope you enjoy it!
Your dogggg😍😍😍I have a 1 yr 8mo Siberian Husky and and twin babies on the way
oh how fun!! Siberian Huskys are so cool! and congrats on the twins coming soon, you are in for a ton of fun!!!!!!
I'm expecting twins, but we are on quite a tight budget. I love this stroller, but is it compatible with other brands of carseats? Specifically cheaper ones like Graco.
Congrats on the twins coming! So exciting! I know the adapters I got went with the Nuna, Maxi Cozi car seats, but It might be compatible with other brands. I am not sure though, I would reach out to Thule costumer service and ask! They should be able to help!
@@HangWithTheBangs Thank you!
After watching many videos of twin strollers, I'm still convinced that the Bugaboo donkey is the most pleasant stroller for kids and parents.
thats a great one! depends on what someone is wanting!
For me the bugaboo donkey is much way better. No disrespect
That one seems too wide
Es muy polivalente el problema para elegir otro es el ancho del bogaboo, no entra en muchos sitios 😅
How is it with both toddler seats reclined? it looks likethe front cant reclijne the way you have it set up?
Hi Jade! The seats can be configured in lots of diffrent ways. For reclining with two toddler seats on this stroller (or any double stacked stroller) I would recommend the top seat being faced towards the handle of the stroller (so the child would be looking at the person pushing the stroller) that way the seats can recline all the way back on both spots. The way we show it set up here it can recline a little bit but not full tilt. We just like having it set up like this so both girls can see where we are going.
I’m so confused.. So you have to buy everything separately? Do you have to buy double for the twins?
Hi Lenora, so with any stroller the toddler seat comes with it. Anything else is extra and a add on. I wish companies had everything set up for twins, but they make it so if you one baby you can add on as you need to ;)
Hi! I have a question. I have nuna pipa lite rx car seats. Did you use the nuna pipa lite model or the nuna pipa lite rx model car seats? I am wondering if the adapter for the nuna pipa lite car seat would also work for the nuna pipa lite RX model car seat? I called Thule, but they said they didn’t believe it would work with this Sleek stroller (which I already bought and received after watching this video!😊). Wondering what model you have. Thank you! Love your channel and videos! I am new to motherhood, as well as twin life.. such a blessing!
Hi! so excited for you, its such an awesome stroller! I am guessing it would work (I heard any Nuna car seats would work) but not positive. Here is the car seats I have that I used with this stroller. rstyle.me/+AXgLtJQSdRsG2dXE_qDh2g
Hi Callie! I am in the same situation! Can you let me know what you find out and if the Nuna Pipa Lite RX is compatible with the adapters?
My husband is 6’4” I’m just wondering how far the handle extends. Any advice for us?
My father in law is 6'6" and said the stroller works great for him when we pushes it around when he takes our girls on walks/Disneyland. We are on vacation right now and don't have the stroller with us, or else I would go measure how high the handle extends, but hope that helps!
Does it comes with a carseat or you have to purchase it separately? What are included in the box?
Hi Laura, they do not come with a car seat. But I know if you look on Nordstrom though or Buy Buy Baby, some retailers will do bundles :)
Nahhh itself good i found what I'm looking for. Thanks
@@laurasambrano5106 great! have a wonderful day :)
Have you tried this on snow at all? If yes how did you think it handled it?
we have, we live in a very snowy state! It works great! We take our kids out on morning walkings with our dog and the stroller has done great on snowy days.
can you tell me this price including what stuff ? it came with the car seat or for extra charge?
Hi Marina, For pricing, the car seats are separate prices as well as all the attachments. Depending on what attachments you would need, 1 or 2 babies, what brand of car seats you wanted, if you want bassinets or no bassinets, etc. would depend on the price. In the caption of this video I linked to all the products where you can price it all out to what you are needed. We have loved this stroller and its been great for a growing family, would totally recommend!
what adapters do you use for the nuna car seats ?? 😅
Hi! The maxi cosi ones work for the nunas ❤️
Awesome where can I get this. Thanks
here is a link! bit.ly/3t2MLBe
Where did you purchase the adapters for the NUNA car seats? They are not Available on Thule website
I got them on Nordstrom! Here is a link to the adapters :) bit.ly/2ROfGeB
@@HangWithTheBangs do you need two of the same attachment for the two nuna car seats set up? I couldn't figure out if there was a different adapter for the top and bottom or I I just buy two of the same adaptera from the link you attached.
I'd like to know too, are the car seat adapters the same for both bottom and top?
So you combined thule and nuna car seat for travel system?
yes and for everyday too!
Can the twins grow into the stroller you think? Like when they are 2-3 years old and may need to take a break from walking on long trips?
yes lots of room for sure! My girls are 18 months now and when we go to the aquarium or other fun places they hop in and out of the stroller great! I think they will have plenty of room as they grow! The seats can also be changed to face different directions to adapt for growing kids as well. Hope that helps!
@@HangWithTheBangs it does thank you! So confused on which one to get ! Between this and Nuba system
For twins
@@trevor_corey8037 I am not familiar with the Nuba system, but if you can find a place that has the strollers in stock and test them out! Thats what really helped make our decision! We had tried a ton of strollers and after testing out the Thule Sleek new this would be great for our fam! If you can, test drive them out to see what would be a good fit!
Hi..
How do I buy these please? To be shipped to Nigeria. What's the cost?
Hi thanks for reaching out. I am not sure what the shipping costs would be but maybe call some local baby stores to see if they have any of the strollers in stock? or check on thule.com and see what shipping could be?
Me and my partner have a toddler and have a baby due.. problem we have is I have epilepsy so pram is needed for safety so will this one have room for a 2 year old toddler and newborn? Please answer 🙏
hi yes it would have room for a 2 year old and newborn. Our twins are now 3 and ride in it just great! I would use the seat adapters for a car seat and a sibling seat in the second spot. The seats might get a little tight lengthwise as toddlers grow taller but the nice thing is the seats can switch directions for growing kids.
Wait im confused so the thule sleek stroller works with nuna car seats and seats?
yes it does, it has an attachment that works for them :)
Can you set them up so each twin is facing each other in any of the configurations ?
good question! yes you can! You can do that with the car seats, bassinets and the infant seats!
We found our favorite configuration with the infant seats is having one seat facing the person pushing the stroller, and the other seat facing the opposite direction so that way if either kid fall asleep, we can put the chair back so they can lay down while they sleep.
Is it compatible with other car seat brands? For example Graco or Evenflo?
Are the wheels all terrain?
That is a good question, I am not sure but I am guessing so! We have taken this stroller on the beach, cobblestone roads, dirt paths, cement, etc and it has done great!
Whats the name of the stroller and car seats for it
Nuna Pipa Lite LX, here is a link to them. They are seriously such amazing car seats and so light! I would totally recommend them!
bit.ly/32z9PdI
Do you have to buy them separately? They don’t come as twin?
I wondered where did u buy stroller? For twins..
Hi, if you check the caption of this video it will have links for the stroller and attachments. Here is one for just the stroller. bit.ly/2OYUjG3
What are the max weights for each seat?
on their website looks like 49 lbs each seat
Hi, so why did you choose the Thule Sleek over the Uppababy Vista?
The sleek felt more roomey and fit our needs Better for what we were wanting
The sleek felt more roomey and fit our needs Better for what we were wanting
@@HangWithTheBangs Sorry but that does not answer clearly in details why you went with the Thule. After all, that’s the title of your video : “Why we went with the Thule”. In the beginning of your video you say that you had three final options : Uppababy Vista, Thule Sleek and the Nuna. And that you’re gonna tell us why you went with the Thule. But finally you are not telling us why the Thule fits better your needs. So, at the end, your video sounds more like a promotional video with a bias toward the Thule.
Thanks for your vedio. I am very interested this stroller. I have a 4 years old girl and a 1 years old boy. And I am looking for a double stroller for them. This seat could extend, so I think it should fit my kids. But I am not sure, may I use this double stroller into airport. Because some flight is in late night, I mean kids sleeping time. And this one could let kids lay inside. I feel it is really good design. Just want to know, may I use it into airport? ( I mean after checking in, before log in gate) And you also shows the stroller frame into the car in video, so I think it is a good choice for travelling. Because still enough space for luggas.
We have loved this stroller so much! Its been awesome! If you are looking for a double stroller I would totally recommend it! I think most airports allow any stroller, but would call ahead just incase. I know our local airport, this stroller is allowed. I know Thule just came out with a side by side double stroller that would be worth looking into as well! It looks super cool and it looks like the seats, you don't have to take on and off and the stroller folds up with the seats in it!
@@HangWithTheBangs Yes. I know the side by side one. But it is wide. I just feel some doors not allow the wide stroller. And the fold size is also bigger than this one. Consider about travelling with stroller and luggages, this one is best choice!
Hello, I have a new question want to ask. Does the two seat same size? I know the main seat could extend height, does the sibling seat also?
@@jialingwang6717 yes! the sibling seat is actually the same exact seat as the main seat that comes with this stroller. Hope that helps!
Maybe I’m bias because I really like my stroller, I have the Agio z4. It’s only 20” wide, 3.8” less than the Thule, It weighs only 22.6 lbs. and they have car seat adapters to fit the Nuna Pipa. It has the most room in between seats beside the city select I believe(from what I remember, that’s the really long stroller.) And the seats hold up to 50lbs either on the bottom or the top......it’s the most compact, best double stroller in my opinion! Oh and it’s Italian and made of premium materials!
Thats awesome, thanks for sharing!
Hello, Monica. I am expecting my twins very soon. My #1 choice for stroller is the Agio Z4 too! I really need both seats that has the same weight limit. Could you please tell me more about your experiences using Agio Z4?
@@hermia5097 I love talking about my stroller! I’ll give you the cons first. I find it hard to take off the car seats because you have to pull the tabs up on both sides AND pull the car seat up at the same time. It requires strength when your baby weighs more, like my 10 month old who is now about 19 lbs. I think all the adapters for the car seats work the same for this stroller. Another thing is that with two heavy babies, again this is when they’re older, my two year old is about 23 lbs. the put is easy unless you’re going up a tilted driveway or uneven pavement then you really have to work hard to not get it to tip over. You can feel how heavy it is when you’re pushing more than one baby on it. The agility becomes compromised, but with one seat on you’re fine. In your case with twins it’s something you should think about. Those are my only two cons. The brake on the stroller is okay and the bottom basket seems like it won’t handle too much weight but honestly I’ve put really heavy things in there and it hasn’t ripped. Like I went waaay over the weight limit MULTIPLE times ahaha it’s still strong and untorn.
Now here are the pros: even though it’s skinny and can tip on tilted pavement, it makes it so easy to take ANYWHERE. Through the door…I used to have a stroller that was 5 inches wider and I got rid of it because it was annoying taking through my front door and in hallways like the doctors office so I got rid of it to get the z4. The seats fold up and detached with ease. The attachments to convert it to a double also come on and off really easily. I always put them on and take them off when I take the stroller out of my truck in parking lots. I really don’t mind at all taking the stroller apart lol the seats themselves are also great because of the extendable canopy. I usually only use them extended because it actually helps block the sun. I also like the pop up foot rest for little ones and even sleeping toddlers. In my opinion pushing a double uphill isn’t too hard. Either way it’s a lot of weight and a workout but I don’t feel like it’s more of a struggle with this stroller. The bottom basket is roomy and because it’s so flexible I can shove things under there into it. The wheel lock is also on the side which is nice because you just turn the dial and you don’t have to bend all the way down to the wheels. Other than that I think it’s a really beautiful stroller that is beautifully made 😊
I also got a matching stroller caddy from Itzy Ritzy in the “coffee and cream” color way. I wouldn’t buy the cup holder that the company sells for it cause it just sticks off to the side and defeats the purpose of a skinny stroller that goes easily through doorways and hallways. If your about a functional stroller that also looks beautiful I would get it and that matching caddy. Everyone thinks it was meant for the z4 because it matches perfectly. Just a tip if you do decide to invest in it. It was a lot of money for me but no regrets
@@hermia5097 oh also, folding the stroller is super easy you just can’t mind bending down a little. All you do is bend towards the middle Over the basket, grab the two bars like you would a purse with two handles and then literally just stand up and as you stand your shoulder helps you push the handles closed. I can’t explain it but you can do it one handed. Which is what I always do
@@hermia5097 sorry I have a lot to say but I think if you go with the z4 the Nuna lite might be your best option for twins because I think it’s the lightest car seat that has attachments for the z4 the agio car seats are kinda heavy
I got twins today and how can i get one
Hi congrats on the twins! here is a link to the stroller. To make it a double you just add a Thule sibling seat with it. bit.ly/2OYUjG3
Thanks for the video! Super helpful! Can I ask why you decided against the UppaBaby Vista?
yeah for sure! I really loved the uppa baby vista! Such a great stroller and loved the green color! I think it would be an awesome stroller to go with, but ultimately though I picked the Thule because with twins and needing to buy accessories for the stroller x 2, the accessories were less expensive than the vista, and I liked on the bottom compartment of the thule that it can be full zipped and closed. Hope that helps! I have a few friends with the vista who love it!
First baby twins expecting mid April. Looking for something very light and comfortable. Still searching
Thanks for the helpful video
@@netrarai477 so exciting! hope you find what you are looking for! we have loved this stroller for twins and it is very light :)
Hi
Hi!
The poor man can't get a single word in without being spoken over!
Yeah I get excited sometimes about a topic sometimes, luckily he is very supportive about that
Bom dia LIKE 292👍😘👐
Obirgada!! Jake sempre gostava de dizer: "Bon dia...Bundinha!"
Very sturdy in comparison to other strollers that we had. I get a lot of compliments for it. My baby loves being in the bassinet, The ruclips.net/user/postUgkx4qZutfp1y5CaTUcMTuFPbARE5u-8XLiE stroller comfortable. I like the rain cover and the white net that comes with it. I use the rain cover just to cover the car seat when it rains. If your front wheels don't turn well, make sure you lubricate.
love that! we felt it was worth the money too! It will last for years and years!
that is really expensive though...
depends the way you look at it. It can be pricey up front but you can resell it after use for a good chuck back, or if you plan on using it for multiple kids it can save money over time having a stroller that will last and grow with the family instead of needing to buy multiple strollers. just depends on what someone is are looking for and what is important to them in a stroller.
cant this girl talk like normal person
