I am in the market for an all terrain jogger and looked at this today. It seemed similar to the Ridge in terms of design with some differences (different hand brake, baskets, etc.). Which would you recommend? Could you do a comparison? Thank you!
I tried the Ridge and Glide 2 and bought the Ridge. If you can, test them both. My opinion is that the Thule is a sportscar and a bit delicate and the Ridge is tougher SUV. For just jogging, I'd take the Thule. For general use plus jogging, the Ridge. A huge plus the Ridge has if you use it a lot and don't have a car is that the rain cover is the best rain cover I've seen in any stroller. Super easy to put on works incredibly well. We use it in NYC and it's been awesome! Thule has air filled tires, for me that was a no-no as I didn't want my partner to be stranded in the city with an out of air tire.
The urban glide 2 was the best baby purchase we’ve made. The glide 3 doesn’t seem like a big improvement over the 2, but good to see minor updates. Our front lock hasn’t broken on ours but I’m concerned it might break sometime- I thought that part should have seemed more durable for what has been a quite durable stroller that has held up over the years. For people considering, the urban glide is extremely easy to push (ie one finger)! While not recommended, I can even load up my 6 and 2 year old in tandem, the storage underneath, and hang heavy bags on straps from the handles- way over the recommended limits. It’s large (mainly wide) but can handle everything. Good Thule design. If you’re on the fence, just buy one.
I've had the 2 and 3 now. Here's my update: Someone asked how it was going so I wanted to copy/paste my answer. In short: 1. the fabric is far inferior. It's softer but has lost water repellence and strength. They used the old fabric on the bottom where it has to be stronger and more water repellent so they know what they've done. It won't hold up. 2. The front wheel casing is different, it may have corrected the wobble some people got at high speeds with the 2, but locking out the wheel also did that. This wheel has lost maneuverability. It's janky comparatively. 3. The foot brake is hokey. It has a nicer pedal, but you have to rock it back and forth to unlock it. 4. The most awful daily annoyance is the new hood. It used to come down around 2 inches to extend when the sun is low (or you're going uphill) and it's a feature I used everyday. Now the hood only goes from regular to around 8 inches lower? It covers the entire view. It would be a nice option for a sleeping baby, but that's its only function. So it's almost a lost function even at the toddler stage. AND there's no little exntension for a bit more sun cover. I have to sort-of-kind-of extend it half way for the cover I need. It's SO annoying. And it doesn't look sleek like that either. It's all bunchy. Not to mention, the hood also comes off... which is annoying because every time my toddler pushes it down sone steps or something it pops off and it's hard to get back on. All in all, it's a downgrade. I'm not happy with it. It looks nice but a 2 is a far superior product.
Thanks for your comment! Could you help me with a question I have please haha? I have heard that the seat doesn't come upright very much for a toddler to sit in would you say this is true?
@@RosieGainz Yes, it’s pretty reclined. My toddler pulls his shoulders out of the straps to sit up straight (leaving the straps around his hips on). It’s not ideal. I’ve used it as my main stroller, but I bought it to run/hike. After using it for 2 years, I’d recommend it for a running/hiking stroller first sure, and it can be used for day to day if you’re doing lots of these activities that warrant it, but I would buy something more compact and kid-experience friendly (like a backrest that goes upright) if you don’t need a running stroller specifically.
I know two people who've had the brake get stuck in the "go" position. Seems like a faulty design or just not lubing the mechanism enough before shipping. Fixing it requires popping off the side wheel and using silicone lube on the brake/pin mechanism.
I'm 2 months in on my Urban glide 2. I take it out running for around 50-80km+ every week (mainly on pathways, no trails) and we use it as an everyday to the shops and back etc. I want to love it, I really do, BUT - I've already had a front wheel replaced due to the bearing going, and now the front fork has started wobbling, the left brake cable rubs on the internal rim and is wearing down and the right brake sticks. Customer service from my retailer has been outstanding, and I'm dropping this back to the distributor 'for an exchange' tomorrow. If it's for another UG2, i'll probably be back more regularly than the postman. Looks like most of my issues will be sorted if they give me a UG3.
Yes, the brakes and front wheel were an issue for me too. I’m really hoping the 3 does a better job because nothing else really compares! Fingers crossed you get a 3!
@@ScienceSpiritHappy I got upgraded to the UG3, after persisting with them. I’m Happy. Mostly. Noticed very quickly with my 3 that when the wheel lock is on, it was drifting to the left slightly after you align it to the middle. Readjust about 4-5 times on a 20k run. Maddening. I’ve had to open it up and tighten the fixings up so the adjustment wheel no longer turns to keep the front wheel straight. Not ideal, but not the end of the world.
@@toasterboy708 oh nooooo. Ugh. Do you lock out the wheel because of terrain or the wobble on the UG2 or just preference? It will be absolutely maddening if the wheel lock now has issues!!!
@@ScienceSpiritHappy how would you compare the brakes on the UG3 vs the UG2? Also how is it holding up 4 months later? I'm really conflicted between getting a cheaper UG2 vs a more expensive but maybe improved UG3.
@@EhteshChoudhury 100% get the 2. I'm so unhappy with the changes. In short: 1. the fabric is far inferior. It's softer but has lost water repellence and strength.

Hi. Should I get Cybex Orfeo for 200 eur. Store in my county put colors from last year on big sale. What is your opinion, is that a good deal for that model? Is it worth it? Thank you
The biggest difference is that u can save 300 euros buying the TUG2. it is virtually the same, and the breaks work just fine as they are. I agree that they should have fixed the slop correction. Not worth the change tbh

Agree 100%
Not hating at all, as this is a great video! Just wanted to point out that it's pronounced 'Two-lee.' No 'th' sound.
