Introduction

If you've got two children close in age — twins, or an older toddler and a new baby — and you loved the single Thule Urban Glide 3, the Double is the obvious next question. It isn't simply a wider version of the same stroller, though, and a few of the differences genuinely change how it fits your day.

This is a side-by-side double, not the tandem (front-and-back) layout you’ll find on rivals like the Mountain Buggy Duet, and that single design choice shapes almost everything else in this review — how it handles doorways, how it turns, and who it actually suits.

This review covers it as a genuine two-child everyday pushchair, not just a single stroller with an extra seat bolted on: does the side-by-side layout cost you at your own front door, does each seat hold up on its own merits, and how does it compare to the other doubles you’re realistically choosing between.

    Thule Urban Glide 3 Double is a lightweight, all-terrain double pushchair built for active parents. Its side-by-side design features two roomy, individually adjustable seats, a streamlined, lightweight frame with large wheels and advanced suspension system to ensure a smooth, stable ride across all surfaces for your baby

    • Can be used from birth with Thule bassinet or infant car seat adapter (sold separately)

Product Overview

About the Thule Urban Glide 3 Double

The Urban Glide 3 Double is Thule's side-by-side answer to two children — two independent seats, sitting next to each other, on the same all-terrain chassis as the single Urban Glide 3: a swivel front wheel you lock for running, full suspension, and air-filled tyres throughout.

Thule itself sells it one way in the UK: as a single configuration at £899.99, in black only, with no official Thule bundle and no colour choice — a genuine step down from the single’s colourway range if that mattered to you.

That said, don’t assume the pushchair-only listing is your only option: at least one major UK retailer, PramWorld, sells it as a retailer-assembled bundle too — with the Thule Bassinet, with the Thule Maple infant car seat, or with both as a full travel system – typically at a modest discount versus buying the pieces separately. These aren’t official Thule product lines the way the single’s 2-in-1 Bundle is, so pricing and availability are down to the retailer, but they’re a genuine way to buy this already bundled if you want it from birth.

Thule confirms the pushchair itself can be used from birth with the Thule Bassinet or a car seat adapter, both sold separately if you don’t go the bundle route, though we couldn’t confirm whether the frame supports two bassinets side by side for twins — see Travel System Compatibility below.

How The Urban Glide 3 Double Is Sold

Thule itself sells the Double as one configuration only, but at least one major UK retailer sells it pre-bundled too — worth knowing before you assume you have to buy every piece separately.

Pushchair only£899.99 direct from Thule (from £799.95 at some retailers). The Double chassis, both seat units and basket — no bassinet, car seat, or adapters.
Complete bundleFrom around £1,049.00 at PramWorld. The pushchair plus the Thule Bassinet and adaptors — a genuine from-birth setup for one side, sold as one purchase.
Maple bundleFrom around £999.00 at PramWorld. The pushchair plus the Thule Maple infant car seat and adaptors, for a from-birth travel-system setup instead of a bassinet.
Maple travel systemFrom around £1,249.00 at PramWorld. The pushchair, the Thule Bassinet, and the Thule Maple car seat together — the fullest from-birth setup available as one purchase.

These retailer bundles aren’t an official Thule product line the way the single’s 2-in-1 Bundle is — Thule’s own site lists no Double bundle at all — so treat the prices above as a snapshot rather than a fixed RRP, and check current listings before you buy. If you’re planning for twins rather than a newborn-plus-older-sibling setup, none of these bundles confirm two-bassinet compatibility — see Travel System Compatibility below.

Side-by-Side vs. Tandem: Why It Matters Here

Before the spec sheet, it’s worth understanding the one design decision that shapes everything else in this review: Thule built the Urban Glide 3 Double as a side-by-side, not a tandem (front-and-back) double like the Mountain Buggy Duet.

Side-by-side (this stroller)Both children sit level with each other and with you, so neither seat feels like the “back seat.” It’s wider through doors and aisles, but shorter overall and generally easier to turn.
TandemChildren sit one behind the other in a narrower frame that fits standard doorways more easily, but the stroller is longer overall and can feel less manoeuvrable on tight turns.

Neither layout is objectively better — it’s a genuine trade-off between doorway width and turning circle, and which one matters more depends entirely on your own home and daily routes.

Features At A Glance

Before the full breakdown, here's what actually defines the Thule Urban Glide Stroller Double at a glance.

  • Two independent seats with stepless recline, each adjustable without disturbing the other child
  • Side-by-side layout — wider through doors than a tandem double, but shorter and easier to turn
  • Full suspension and air-filled tyres on all three wheels, for the same smooth ride as the single
  • Front wheel swivels for everyday use or locks for running, same as the single Urban Glide 3
  • Compact, self-standing fold — no need to detach either seat first, though the release sits under the front footrest rather than at the handlebar
  • Sold by Thule as one configuration: black, £899.99 — though at least one UK retailer bundles it with the bassinet or car seat

Our Verdict

Genuine two-child running capability 80cm width won't fit every UK doorway Black only, one official Thule configuration

If you want the single Urban Glide 3’s running capability and ride quality for two children rather than one, this genuinely delivers it — the trade-off is the 80cm width, which is wider than many UK front doors and hallways, so measure yours before you buy. You’ll also lose the single’s colour choice, though the magnetic buckle carries over confirmed, and at least one UK retailer sells it bundled with the bassinet or car seat if you don’t want to buy the pieces separately.

Pros
  • Genuine running capability for two children, not just a wider everyday stroller
  • Independent stepless recline per seat — smoother and more precise than the single’s strap-toggle system
  • Side-by-side layout means neither child sits in a worse seat than the other
  • Same padded 5-point harness with magnetic buckle as the single, confirmed on Thule’s own product page
  • Compact, self-standing fold — but see Folding Mechanism, since the footrest-mounted release is harder to use one-handed with two seats loaded
  • Same full suspension and air-filled tyres as the single, so ride quality doesn’t suffer for having two seats
  • Up to 5 years of extended warranty if you register it with Thule
Cons
  • 80cm door pass-through width is wider than many standard UK doorways and hallways
  • Fold release is under the front footrest, not the handlebar — awkward one-handed with two children to manage
  • Sold in black only, with no colour choice unlike the single stroller
  • No confirmed way to fit two bassinets for twins from birth — only one bassinet slot has been confirmed
  • At 16kg, this is a genuinely heavy stroller to lift in and out of a car
  • No official Thule bundle — though a UK retailer sells it bundled, buying direct from Thule means the bassinet or car seat adapter is entirely on top

First Impressions & Design

Side on, the Thule Urban Glide 3 Double looks exactly like the single Urban Glide 3 — same frame language, same swivel front wheel, same sporty stance. Face it head-on and the difference is obvious: two full-width seats sitting level with each other, wide enough that you’ll notice it filling a doorway before you notice anything else about it.

You don’t get a colour choice here the way you do on the single version — Thule sells the Double in black only in the UK, where the single comes in six two-tone finishes. If the single’s colour range was part of what appealed to you, that’s a genuine step down, not just a minor detail.

Seat next to a tandem double like the Mountain Buggy Duet, the visual difference is really a philosophical one: this looks like two single strollers pushed together, while a tandem looks like one long stroller — which one reads better to you is entirely personal, but it’s worth seeing both in person if looks matter to your decision.

  • Frame: the same powder-coated aluminium build as the single, widened for two seats — no reported flex or twist even loaded on both sides.
  • Colour: black only — a real limitation next to the single’s six colourways, and worth knowing before you assume the range carries over.
  • Compared with a tandem double, the side-by-side layout here reads as more symmetrical and less “one child in the good seat, one in the back” — a genuine emotional plus some parents specifically look for.
  • Finish: the same grey-restyled brake lever and fold trigger as the single Urban Glide 3, not a cost-cut simplified version.

It looks like exactly what it is — a serious, capable double built for two, not a single stroller with an awkward second seat bolted on. The one-colour limitation is the only real ding against it here.

Size & Dimensions

Measure your own front door before you order this one. At 80cm wide, it’s wider than a good number of standard UK internal doors (typically 76cm) and some external doors too — this isn’t a “might be a squeeze” situation for some homes, it’s a genuine “won’t fit” situation, and it’s the single biggest practical question this review can’t answer for you.

Folded, it comes down to 88 x 79 x 34cm — noticeably wider than the single’s 58cm folded width, so check your boot width as well as its depth before assuming it’ll fit the way a single stroller would.

The 124 x 79 x 113cm unfolded figure is Thule’s own published measurement, not an estimate — you can plan doorways and storage space against it with confidence.

  • Doorways: 80cm is wider than many standard UK doors — measure yours before you buy, not after delivery.
  • Against a tandem double like the Mountain Buggy Duet, which is closer to a single stroller’s width, this side-by-side genuinely loses on doorway clearance — the trade you’re making for the side-by-side seating.
  • Boot space: the 88 x 79 x 34cm folded size needs a genuinely large boot — narrower hatchbacks may need the parcel shelf removed or a seat dropped.
  • At 16kg, lifting this in and out of a car is a two-handed, braced-stance job for most people — noticeably more than the single’s 11.9kg, and worth trying before you commit if you’ll be doing it solo daily.

The doorway width is the one figure on this entire spec sheet that could rule this stroller out for you before anything else does — check it first, before you fall for anything else in this review.

Build Quality

  • Frame: powder-coated aluminium, widened for two seats without introducing flex — a harder engineering task than the single stroller’s frame, and one this stroller passes.
  • Compared with budget side-by-side doubles that use thinner tubing to keep weight down, you’ll notice the joints here stay tight even loaded on both sides — a direct trade of some extra kilograms for genuine rigidity.
  • Fabric: the same water-repellent rip-stop exterior as the single, a step up from the thinner polyester some budget doubles use.
  • Weak point: as with the single, air-filled tyres are the one component genuinely more failure-prone than a foam-tyre rival — and with two seats’ worth of load, tyre pressure matters even more here.

The Thule Urban Glide 3 Double is built to the same standard as the single Thule Urban Glide 3 version, and it shows in the places doubling up usually breaks a stroller — the joints and the frame, not just the fabric.

Widening a chassis for two seats is exactly the kind of change that exposes weak engineering — extra width means extra leverage on every joint — and this is where the Double’s shared DNA with the single genuinely pays off.

The frame doesn’t flex or twist even with both seats loaded on uneven ground, which is a genuinely harder test to pass than a single stroller’s build quality check, and one several cheaper doubles fail in independent testing.

Comfort for Baby

Each seat gets its own independent, stepless recline — a genuine upgrade on the single stroller’s rear strap toggle, and one worth calling out specifically: you can recline one child fully for a nap while the other stays upright and alert, without touching their seat at all.

Ride quality carries over unchanged from the single: full suspension and air-filled tyres on all three wheels mean neither seat feels like a compromised “second seat” on rough ground — both children get the same smooth ride.

  • Recline: independent and stepless per seat — smoother and more precise than the single’s strap-toggle system, and genuinely useful with two children on different nap schedules.
  • Leg rest: Each seat includes an independently adjustable built-in leg rest to support your children comfortably whether they are awake or napping, matching the single stroller’s standard, rather than treating the second seat as an afterthought.
  • Separate Canopies: Unlike some budget side-by-side doubles that share a single connected canopy, each seat here has its own canopy — so one child can nap in shade while the other has it pushed back, without a shared piece of fabric forcing a compromise.
  • Harness: padded 5-point on each seat, with the same magnetic buckle as the single — genuinely useful with two children to clip in rather than one, since a one-handed close on each side actually saves you time.

For both children, this is genuinely the same ride quality as the single stroller, not a diluted version — the independent recline is the one feature that’s arguably better than what the single offers.

Comfort for Parents

Picture pushing 16kg of stroller plus two children up a gentle hill — the twist hand brake that felt like a nice-to-have on the single stroller becomes something closer to essential here, and it’s the same mechanism carried over unchanged.

The extra width does change how it feels to push day to day: you’ll notice more shoulder and wrist effort correcting for drift on a camber than you would with the single, simply because there’s more stroller for a side-wind or a sloped pavement to act on.

  • Braking: the same twist-action hand brake as the single — arguably more valuable here given the extra weight you’re controlling.
  • Compared with the single, you’ll notice more effort keeping this tracking straight on a cambered pavement — a direct consequence of the extra width, not a build-quality issue.
  • Pushing effort: heavier overall than the single, as you’d expect at 16kg versus 11.9kg, but the large air-filled wheels keep rolling resistance low even so.
  • Against a tandem double, you’ll likely find this easier to push in a straight line thanks to the shorter wheelbase, but more effort to keep steady side to side thanks to the width — a genuine trade-off, not a clear win either way.

Comfortable to push once you’re used to the extra width and weight, but budget a genuine adjustment period if you’re moving straight from a single stroller.

Folding Mechanism

Fold typeCompact, self-standing
One-handed / two-handedTwo-handed in practice
FreestandingYes

Genuinely impressive given the size: you fold this the same way as the single, with both seats still attached and no detaching required.

As on the single version, the fold release isn’t at the handlebar — it’s a trigger bar at the front of the chassis, underneath the fabric footrest. On the Double that location is more of an issue, not less: with two seats potentially loaded with children or accessories, bending down to the footrest and working the safety catch one-handed is a genuinely awkward stretch, not the quick handlebar pull the spec sheet implies.

Step List
  1. Apply the parking brake

    Engage the foot brake so the frame doesn’t roll during the fold.

  2. Release the footrest trigger

    Bend down to the front of the chassis, slide the trigger-block safety catch sideways, then twist the release bar forward in a rolling motion — the same mechanism as the single, just under a wider footrest.

  3. Collapse and lock

    Lift slightly as the frame folds forward and the handlebar drops toward the rear wheels; the side frame lock latch clicks in to hold it shut. It self-stands at 88 x 79 x 34cm without support.

Unfolding is the genuinely quick one-handed part: release the side lock latch and pull the handlebar up in one firm motion until it clicks upright. The fold itself, though, is a two-handed job in practice on a double — bending to the footrest one-handed while also managing two children is a harder ask here than on the single.

Convertible / Combination Format

As with the single version, Thule doesn’t sell the Double as a “travel system” or “3-in-1” — it’s one chassis with a pushchair mode built in from the factory, plus from-birth capability you add afterwards, not a single seat unit that reshapes itself.

Here’s where it genuinely differs from the single, though: Thule confirms one bassinet or car-seat adapter slot on the Double, but hasn’t confirmed whether you can run two bassinets side by side for twins from birth. If that’s your situation, don’t assume it works the way the single’s from-birth path does — check directly with Thule or a stockist before you buy, rather than assuming symmetry with the single stroller’s setup.

Thule Urban Glide 3 Double can have one of its seats exchanged for a Bassinet or car seat to accommodate a new born baby (till the baby reaches 6 months of age)

The mechanics of the swap itself are straightforward: like the single, the Thule Urban Glide 3 Double uses Thule’s click-in/click-out adaptor system, so removing the seat unit and clicking the bassinet or car-seat adapter into place is a genuinely quick, tool-free job — not the multi-step strap-and-thread process some travel systems require. The catch on a double isn’t the mechanism, it’s the arithmetic: you’re only converting one side, so you’re managing two different seat types on the same frame rather than a clean single conversion.

  • Confirmed: one seat can be swapped for the Thule Bassinet or a car-seat adapter, giving you at least one from-birth spot — useful if you have an older toddler and a new baby, less useful if you’re expecting twins.
  • Against a true 3-in-1 travel system like the iCandy Peach 7, where the seat unit itself reclines flat into a carrycot shape, this click-in swap is faster and simpler for the side you’re converting
  • Unconfirmed: genuine two-bassinet twin compatibility. This is the single biggest gap in Thule’s own published information on this model, and it’s worth resolving before you commit if you need it from birth for two.
  • Thule itself has no official bundle tier for the Double the way it does the single’s 2-in-1 Bundle — but at least one major UK retailer sells it pre-bundled with the bassinet, the Maple car seat, or both, so check current retailer listings before assuming you have to buy every piece separately.
  • This chassis isn’t an upgrade path from the single either — it’s a separate purchase on its own frame, not something you convert your existing single into later.

Treat the from-birth story here as promising but incomplete: the swap itself is genuinely easy thanks to the click-in system, strong for a one-baby-plus-older-child household, genuinely unresolved for twins, and worth a direct question to Thule before you buy if that’s your situation.

Everyday Practicality

The 80cm width is the number that decides most of your everyday practicality with this stroller — where it fits, it’s genuinely excellent; where it doesn’t, no amount of other good features compensates.

Inside shops and cafés with wide-enough aisles, the swivel-unlocked front wheel still gives you the same manoeuvring ease as the single, just with a bigger footprint to account for. The genuine friction point is anywhere narrow — supermarket checkout lanes, café doorways, older buildings with tighter corridors.

  • Shops and cafés: fine in modern, wide-aisled spaces; genuinely difficult in older or smaller premises with narrow doorways.
  • Compared with a tandem double, you’ll clear standard checkout lanes and till points more easily with a tandem — this is the one everyday scenario where the side-by-side layout is a clear practical disadvantage.
  • Lifts: a genuinely tight fit in most UK residential and small retail lifts — check your building’s lift dimensions before relying on this for a lift-access home or venue.
  • On the plus side, neither child sits in a “second seat” the way one does on a tandem — a genuine advantage if you specifically want equal seating for two children of similar age.

A genuinely capable everyday double where the space allows for it — but width, not the stroller’s handling, is what will make or break your day-to-day experience with it.

Travel, Storage & Portability

Everything that made the single easy to live with day to day still applies here — the self-standing fold, the compact-for-its-size footprint — just scaled up, and the scaling is where you’ll feel the real difference.

Folded to 88 x 79 x 34cm, it self-stands the same way the single does, which is a genuine convenience given its size — but at 16kg, carrying it any real distance (a flight of stairs, a train platform without a lift) is a much bigger ask than the single stroller’s 11.9kg.

  • Home storage: the self-standing fold carries over from the single, a genuine advantage over doubles that need a wall or stand to stay upright.
  • Boot space: needs a genuinely large boot at 79cm folded width — check yours before assuming it’ll fit alongside a weekly shop or other luggage.
  • Compared with the single’s 11.9kg, lifting this 16kg chassis up stairs or onto a train is a noticeably bigger physical task — realistic if you’re doing it occasionally, tiring if it’s a daily requirement.
  • Against a tandem double, which is typically narrower but not necessarily lighter, the weight difference between double formats is often smaller than the width difference — don’t assume switching format solves the portability problem.

Storage at home is a genuine strength; anywhere you have to carry rather than roll it is where the size and weight of a double — any double — start to bite.

Manoeuvrability

The same swivel-and-lock front wheel from the single carries over unchanged, and it’s genuinely the reason this handles better than its size suggests — unlocked for tight everyday turns, locked for stable tracking at speed.

Where the extra width shows up isn’t in turning circle so much as in clearance — you need more space either side of you to manoeuvre confidently, and you’ll misjudge gaps a few times before you build an instinct for the extra width.

  • Swivel mode: unlocked, this turns more easily than its width suggests, thanks to the shorter side-by-side wheelbase versus a tandem’s length.
  • Lock mode: locked for running, tracking stays stable — the same reliable behaviour as the single, just with more mass to keep straight.
  • Against a tandem double, you’ll generally find this easier to spin around in a tight space thanks to the shorter length, but harder to squeeze through a narrow gap thanks to the width — genuinely different trade-offs, not a straightforward win for either format.
  • Always lock the front wheel before running at speed — the same instruction that applies to the single, and just as important here with two children on board.

Genuinely well-mannered for its size once you’ve adjusted to the extra width — the shorter wheelbase than a tandem is doing real work here.

Wheels & Suspension

Front wheel12in, swivel/lockable, air-filled
Rear wheels16in, air-filled
SuspensionFront and rear

Thule carries the single stroller’s suspension and tyre setup straight across to the Double, and that decision not to cut corners on the harder-to-load side of the range is exactly why the ride quality holds up with two children aboard.

  • Ride quality: full suspension and air-filled tyres absorb bumps for both children, not just a diluted version for the “extra” seat.
  • Compared with budget side-by-side doubles that use smaller solid wheels to control cost, the difference in ride comfort here is significant, especially on anything rougher than smooth pavement.
  • Maintenance trade-off: air-filled tyres need pressure checks from you, same as the single — with two children’s worth of load, keeping them properly inflated matters even more for handling.
  • Front wheel lock: the same simple mechanical lock as the single — reliable, and just as necessary to remember here.

If the single Urban Glide 3’s ride quality was a draw for you, you get exactly the same here for two children — Thule didn’t compromise this part of the design to fit a second seat.

Safety Features

The same running caution that applies to the single applies here, with one added consideration: you’re now responsible for two children’s harnesses and two seats’ worth of loading, so a pre-run check genuinely takes longer and matters more.

As with the single, Thule’s safety documentation for the Urban Glide range states the product is “not suitable for running” with the front wheel unlocked — we haven’t independently confirmed the exact wording on the Double’s own manual, but there’s no reason to expect the same EU-mandated label wouldn’t apply, since it’s the same running-capable swivel-lock mechanism.

  • Harness: padded 5-point on each seat, with the magnetic buckle confirmed carried over from the single — genuinely secure, and easier to clip one-handed than a standard buckle when you’re managing two children at once.
  • With two children rather than one, a brake that only stops or doesn’t isn’t enough — the twist-action hand brake gives you the progressive control this heavier stroller genuinely needs on a descent.
  • Parking brake: foot-operated, kept separate from the running/speed hand brake, same as the single — a sensible separation given the extra weight involved.
  • Recall check: no UK or EU safety recalls found for the Urban Glide 3 Double specifically as of this review’s research — Thule’s 2020 stroller recall applied only to the unrelated Thule Sleek model.

A genuinely well-thought-through safety set that scales sensibly to two children, provided you actually follow the front-wheel-lock instruction and don’t assume features from the single carry over unconfirmed.

Storage Basket

Basket coverZip-top, weatherproof
Basket weight limit7kg
Rear seat-back pocket weight limit1.4kg
Inside-seat mesh pocket weight limit0.5kg

Thule carries the single’s storage layout across to the Double unchanged, weight limits included: 7kg in the main basket, 1.4kg in the rear seat-back pocket, and 0.5kg in the mesh pocket inside each seat — the same figures as the single, confirmed via Thule’s own manual, not scaled down or split between two children’s worth of use.

  • Access: reachable from front and rear, same as the single — a genuine advantage over baskets that get blocked once the seats recline.
  • With two children’s worth of daily kit — spare clothes, snacks, nappies for two — you’ll fill the same 7kg basket faster than you would on the single, since the limit doesn’t increase to match the extra demand of a second child.
  • Weatherproofing: the same zip-top cover as the single, genuinely useful given how much more you’ll be carrying for two children.
  • Seat pockets: the rear seat-back pocket (1.4kg) and the mesh pocket inside each seat (0.5kg) mirror the single’s limits exactly — useful for a phone, keys or snacks within reach, but not a substitute for the main basket on anything heavier.

A practical basket for daily outings, but budget a second bag for anything beyond the basics — two children’s kit adds up faster than the basket’s unchanged design accounts for.

Canopy & Weather Protection

Each seat gets its own individually adjustable canopy rather than one shared hood — a genuine, deliberate design choice that lets you extend shade for one child while leaving the other’s open, without a compromise forced by shared fabric.

The canopy is super extendable, so that you can really protect your child from the weather and it also has extra ventilation built in, which can be closed off when not needed.

Coverage and ventilation match the single stroller’s canopy, which was already a genuine improvement over the Urban Glide 2 — extended reach, better airflow, and the same UPF 50+ rating.

thule urban glide 3 canopy
Thule urban glide 3 canopy can be extended to offer more protection for your baby
  • Independent canopies: a genuine advantage over budget side-by-side doubles that use one connected hood across both seats.
  • Sun protection: UPF 50+ rated fabric on both canopies — in line with most premium all-terrain doubles now, so treat it as expected rather than a standout.
  • A peek-a-boo window is confirmed on the canopy design, though Thule’s own marketing copy doesn’t specify whether both seats get one or just one does — worth checking in person before assuming both children get the feature.

The independent canopies are one of the more genuinely thoughtful parts of this design — a shared hood would have been the cheaper, lazier choice, and Thule didn’t take it.

Seat & Recline

Seat weight limit (per seat)22kg
Seat orientationForward-facing only
Recline mechanismIndependent, stepless, per seat

This is genuinely one area where the Double improves on the single rather than just matching it — stepless recline is smoother and easier to fine-tune than the single’s rear strap toggle, and having it independent per seat means one child’s nap doesn’t dictate the other’s position.

  • Recline quality: stepless adjustment is a genuine upgrade on the single’s toggle system — finer control, and arguably easier to operate one-handed.
  • Independence: each seat reclines without affecting the other — a real advantage over connected-recline doubles where adjusting one seat shifts the other.
  • Orientation: forward-facing only on both seats — consistent with the single and with all-terrain 3-wheelers generally, not a gap specific to this model.

If there’s one component on this stroller that’s a genuine improvement rather than a compromise for having two seats, it’s this one.

Travel System Compatibility

Carrycot compatibleYes — Thule Bassinet, sold separately; twin two-bassinet setup not confirmed
Car seat compatibleYes — Thule car seat adapter, sold separately

This is the one area of this review where we have to be upfront about a genuine gap in what’s publicly confirmed, rather than paper over it with an assumption.

Thule and UK retailers both confirm the Double can be used from birth with the Thule Bassinet or a car seat adapter, sold separately — but every source we checked describes this in the singular, without confirming whether the frame supports two bassinets side by side for twins from birth. If you’re buying specifically for twins and need both seats usable from birth, we’d genuinely recommend confirming this directly with Thule or your retailer before ordering, rather than assuming it works the way you’d hope.

  • Single bassinet or car seat: confirmed compatible on one side, for a newborn paired with an older sibling already seated.
  • Two bassinets for twins: not confirmed by Thule or any retailer listing we checked — treat this as an open question to verify before buying, not a given.
  • If twins from birth is your specific need, a dedicated twin-carrycot system from a brand that explicitly markets that capability may be the safer starting point than assuming this one adapts to it.

Genuinely capable for a newborn-plus-older-sibling setup; genuinely unconfirmed for twins from birth — check before you buy if that’s your situation.

Cleaning & Maintenance

Double the seats means double the fabric to clean, but not double the effort — each seat cover removes independently, so you’re not stripping the whole stroller down to wash one child’s mess.

  • Fabric: each seat cover removes and washes independently — easier to manage than a connected-cover double where cleaning one seat means dealing with both.
  • As with the single, you’ll need to check tyre pressure periodically here — with two children’s worth of load, underinflated tyres affect handling more noticeably than on the single.
  • Frame: powder coating resists scratching from normal use, same durability as the single stroller’s finish — a step up from the painted (not powder-coated) finishes still common on budget side-by-side doubles, which chip more visibly with daily use.

No harder to maintain than the single, seat for seat — the independent covers actually make spot-cleaning easier than you might expect from a stroller this size.

Accessories Worth Buying

Buying direct from Thule, every accessory here is a genuine extra cost on top of the £899.99 sticker price — though it’s worth checking retailer listings first, since at least one major UK seller bundles the pushchair with the bassinet or car seat at a modest discount versus buying the pieces apart.

Real-World Testing

Owner reports specifically praise this stroller’s smoothness on urban streets and rural, uneven ground alike, with several noting they expected it to feel much heavier to push than it actually does — the large air-filled wheels are doing real work here.

One recurring theme in real owner feedback: several parents specifically compare its overall footprint favourably against tandem doubles generally, describing it as noticeably more compact front-to-back — the side-by-side trade-off paying off in exactly the scenario you’d expect.

  • Urban use: owners consistently report smooth handling on city streets, matching the single stroller’s reputation.
  • Rural and uneven terrain: praised for handling hiking-style paths and rougher ground, again consistent with the single’s all-terrain suspension carrying over unchanged.
  • Compared with tandem doubles generally, real owners report this stroller feels meaningfully more manageable in overall length, even though it’s wider — a genuine confirmation of the side-by-side trade-off actually playing out as expected.

Real-world feedback backs up the spec sheet here — this genuinely delivers the single’s ride quality at double the seating, without the size becoming unmanageable in the way some owners feared going in.

Ownership & Lifespan

The 22kg-per-seat limit mirrors the single stroller’s constraint, but here it applies twice over — worth thinking through if your children are different ages, since one may hit the limit well before the other does.

How the Urban Glide 3 Double fits each stage

  1. Newborn plus older sibling

    Confirmed workable with the Thule Bassinet or car seat adapter on one side, while the other child uses the standard seat.

  2. Twins from birth

    Not confirmed by Thule or any retailer we checked — verify directly before buying if this is your specific situation.

  3. Two children, similar ages, past newborn stage

    This is where the stroller is most straightforwardly capable — both seats used as standard from the point either child no longer needs a carrycot.

  4. As one child ages out

    There’s no official single-seat conversion confirmed for this model, so you may be pushing an empty second seat once one child transitions to walking independently — a genuine practical downside not unique to this stroller, but worth knowing.

Against a tandem double, the lifespan considerations are broadly similar — the real differentiator between formats is doorway width and manoeuvrability day to day, not how long either format lasts you.

Priced against having two children at once needing a stroller, £899.99 compares reasonably to buying a second single stroller outright, and undercuts several premium tandem rivals — provided the width works for your home.

Brand Reputation

logo - thule

Everything that applies to Thule’s reputation on the single stroller carries over here unchanged — the same Swedish outdoor-gear heritage, the same engineering priorities, applied to a genuinely harder design problem.

  • Heritage: the same Swedish outdoor-gear brand behind the single Urban Glide 3, applying its engineering standards to a double rather than cutting corners on the harder product.
  • If you register your purchase at thule.com, you’ll extend the standard 2-year warranty to up to 5 years — worth doing immediately, since it costs you nothing and the outlay here is larger than the single.
  • Range position: the only side-by-side double in Thule’s current UK range, sitting alongside the tandem-format Chariot trailer line for a different use case entirely.

The same brand credibility that makes the single stroller trustworthy applies here — Thule clearly didn’t treat the Double as a lower-priority product to cut corners on.

User Reviews

What Users Are Saying

Owner reviews on UK retailer sites including John Lewis run positive overall, with a smaller review volume than the single stroller reflecting its narrower buyer base — parents of two, specifically, rather than the wider single-child market.

What Owners Like

  • One owner with three children under five specifically praised its versatility across urban and rural use, and noted it felt lighter to push than expected.
  • The same owner specifically compared its overall size favourably against a tandem double, describing it as noticeably more compact.
  • Owners of larger toddlers report the seats comfortably fit children who’d already outgrown standard single strollers.

Common Complaints

  • The most consistent friction point across retailer reviews and forums is the doorway width — several owners specifically mention it not fitting through their own front door as expected.
  • The lack of colour choice is a recurring minor complaint from buyers who owned or wanted the single in a non-black colourway.

Owner sentiment lines up closely with the research findings above: genuinely strong on ride quality and manoeuvrability, with door width the one issue that comes up again and again as a genuine, sometimes deal-breaking, practical limitation.

Price, Value & Alternatives

Price Point

As at the time of writing this review, the Thule Urban Glide 3 Double retils for about £899.99, which means you will be paying about £150 more than the single Urban Glide 3’s RRP for a second seat, independent recline, and the same running capability — a genuinely reasonable premium against buying a second single stroller outright, which would cost you significantly more.

  • Against a running-focused side-by-side rival like the Out n About Nipper Double V6 Plus, this typically costs more but adds full suspension and independent per-seat recline that the Nipper doesn’t offer.
  • A budget side-by-side rival like the standard Out n About Nipper Double V6 costs meaningfully less, but without the same suspension, running lock, or independent recline.

A considered purchase at this price, and one that compares well against the realistic alternative of two separate strollers — provided the width works for your home.

Value For Money

Judged against what you’d spend running two separate strollers, or a premium tandem double, this is genuinely well priced for what it delivers — full suspension, running capability, and independent recline for two children, not a scaled-down version of the single experience.

The catch is the same one that runs through this whole review: none of that value matters if it doesn’t fit through your front door. Buying direct from Thule, the from-birth accessories are additional cost on top with no official bundle discount — though it’s worth checking UK retailer listings, since at least one bundles the pushchair with the bassinet or car seat at a modest saving.

What Determines Value Here
  1. Doorway width

    Whether 80cm genuinely fits your home’s doorways and hallways.

    Look for
    Measure your actual doorways before you buy, not just your driveway or garden gate.
    Avoid
    Assuming it'll fit because a single stroller did.
  2. From-birth needs

    Whether you need one or both seats usable from birth.

    Look for
    Confirm twin bassinet compatibility directly with Thule if that's your situation.
    Avoid
    Assuming both sides work for twins without checking first.
  3. Format preference

    Side-by-side versus tandem for your specific daily routes.

    Look for
    Wide aisles and turning space favour side-by-side; narrow doorways favour tandem.
    Avoid
    Choosing on looks alone without testing the format that fits your actual routine.
The bottom line on value

You’re paying a modest premium over the single for genuine two-child capability, not a compromise — the real cost to weigh is whether the width fits your life, not whether the stroller is worth the money.

Alternatives

Whether you want a narrower tandem, a cheaper side-by-side, or Thule’s own single stroller instead, here’s what else is worth your consideration.

Buying The Product

If everything above has you leaning towards a purchase, here’s who this genuinely suits, what you need to know about the warranty, and where to actually buy it.

Who Should Buy?

Best for Parents of two children close in age who want equal, side-by-side seating · Families who already know and like the single Urban Glide 3's ride quality and running capability · Buyers with wide doorways, driveways, or garages to store and access it
Not for Homes with doorways or hallways narrower than 80cm · Twins-from-birth buyers who need confirmed two-bassinet compatibility · Anyone who specifically wants the single stroller's colour choice · Buyers who want an official Thule bundle rather than a retailer-assembled one

Warranty & Support

The Urban Glide 3 Double carries the same standard 2-year Thule UK warranty as the rest of the range, extendable to up to 5 years for free by registering at thule.com/en-gb/product-registration — worth doing immediately given the larger outlay here than on the single stroller. As with the single, any bassinet or car seat adapter you add needs to be an officially compatible Thule accessory to be covered under the same terms.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the Thule Urban Glide 3 Double fit through my front door?

Check first — at 80cm wide, it’s wider than many standard UK internal doors, which are typically around 76cm. This is the single most important measurement to confirm before buying, since no other feature of the stroller compensates if it simply doesn’t fit through your door.

Can I use it for twins from birth?

Thule confirms it can be used from birth with the Thule Bassinet or a car seat adapter, both sold separately, but every source we checked describes this in the singular. We couldn’t confirm whether the frame supports two bassinets side by side for twins — if that’s your situation, confirm directly with Thule or your retailer before ordering.

Is it the same running stroller as the single, just wider?

Largely, yes — same swivel-lock front wheel, same suspension, same air-filled tyres. The seats also get independent, stepless recline, which is arguably better than the single’s strap-toggle system. The trade-offs are width, weight (16kg versus 11.9kg), and the loss of colour choice.

How does it compare to a tandem double like the Mountain Buggy Duet?

A tandem is narrower through doorways but longer overall and generally harder to turn in tight spaces. This side-by-side is wider but shorter and easier to spin around. Neither is objectively better — it depends on whether your daily routes favour width or length.

What colours does it come in?

Black only in the UK. The single Urban Glide 3 offers four colourways, so this is a genuine step down in choice if colour matters to you.

Does it have a magnetic buckle like the single?

Yes — Thule’s own product page for the Double confirms a padded, adjustable 5-point harness with a magnetic buckle, the same as the single. It’s genuinely useful with two children to clip in rather than one.

What's the warranty?

The same standard 2-year Thule UK warranty as the rest of the range, extendable to up to 5 years for free if you register it at thule.com.

Is there a cheaper bundle with a bassinet included?

Not directly from Thule — there’s no official 2-in-1 Bundle for the Double the way there is for the single. However, at least one major UK retailer (PramWorld) sells it as a retailer-assembled bundle with the Thule Bassinet, the Thule Maple car seat, or both, typically at a modest discount versus buying the pieces separately. Check current retailer listings before assuming you have to buy everything apart.

Final Thoughts & Verdict

Conclusion

  • Genuine two-child running capability with the same suspension and tyres as the single stroller
  • 80cm doorway width is the single biggest practical constraint — measure yours before buying
  • Independent, stepless recline per seat is a genuine improvement over the single's strap-toggle system
  • Sold directly by Thule as one configuration — black, £899.99 — though at least one UK retailer bundles it with the bassinet or car seat

The Thule Urban Glide 3 Double genuinely delivers the single stroller’s running capability and ride quality for two children, with independent stepless recline that’s arguably better than the single’s own recline system.

The real question isn’t whether the Thule Urban Glide 3 Double is good — it clearly is — but whether the 80cm width actually fits your doorways, since no other feature compensates if it doesn’t. You’ll also lose the single’s colour choice, though the magnetic buckle carries over confirmed, and twin-from-birth buyers still need to verify two-bassinet compatibility directly with Thule before ordering.

Overall Ratings

Positive
  • Genuine running capability for two children, not just a wider everyday stroller
  • Independent stepless recline per seat — smoother than the single's strap-toggle system
  • Side-by-side layout means neither child sits in a worse seat than the other
  • Same magnetic-buckle harness as the single, confirmed on Thule's own product page
  • Compact, self-standing fold once you're used to the footrest release
  • Same full suspension and air-filled tyres as the single, so ride quality doesn't suffer
Negatives
  • 80cm door pass-through width is wider than many standard UK doorways and hallways
  • Fold release is under the front footrest rather than the handlebar — a genuine two-handed job with two children
  • Sold in black only, with no colour choice unlike the single stroller
  • No confirmed way to fit two bassinets for twins from birth
  • No official Thule bundle — buying direct means the bassinet or car seat adapter is on top, though a UK retailer sells it pre-bundled
  • At 16kg, this is a genuinely heavy stroller to lift in and out of a car
