Method How we research
Thule is one of the clearest starting points for active families who care more about bigger wheels, rougher routes, and outdoor use than about compact city convenience. If running stability, park trails, or gravel handling matter to you, this brand is usually worth checking early. For more information, see the official website.

Child Bike Seats
- Our score: 9.65 / 10
Thule Yepp 2 Maxi Frame Mount
Thule Yepp 2 Maxi Frame Mount carries a child behind the rider without needing a child-seat-rated rear rack: it clamps directly to the seat tube with a quick-release bracket. The foam seat with DualBeam suspension, padded five-point harness with childproof buckle and adjustable footrests suit daily rides. Check seat-tube compatibility and clearance over the rear wheel, and confirm the delivered version's weight limit — Thule's own page shows both 22 kg and 18 kg.

Thule Yepp 2 MIK HD
Thule Yepp 2 MIK HD clicks onto the rack in seconds, but only onto a genuine MIK HD carrier conforming to EN ISO 11243:2016 with a 27 kg load rating: check the rack marking before buying. A padded 5-point harness and adjustable footrests make it practical for everyday family rides.
Bike Trailers
- Our score: 9.34 / 10
Thule Chariot Cross 2
Thule Chariot Cross 2 is a two-child trailer for families switching often between cycling and walking. The double version has adjustable suspension, individually reclining removable seats and the supplied stroller wheels. It weighs 16.1 kg and Thule lists an 80 cm door-pass-through width, so measure storage, car boot and the route through your home before buying. The standard seat starts at 6 months for walking and 1 year for cycling, with per-child limits of 22 kg, 111 cm and 4 years. The instructions cap children plus luggage at 42 kg total, so 22 kg per child does not permit 44 kg of passengers.
Thule Chariot Chinook 2
The Thule Chariot Chinook 2 carries two children and can be configured for strolling, jogging or cycling with the appropriate setup. Its manual specifies up to 22 kg per passenger and 45 kg total for passengers and cargo, with a 111 cm maximum passenger height; the head or helmet must stay below the frame. It weighs 18 kg without conversion kits and folds to 78 cm × 77 cm × 38 cm. Always secure each child with the seat belt. Jogging is suitable only from six months, when the passenger can sit unaided; that age condition is stated for jogging, not as a general minimum age for every mode. Cycling requires compatible Bicycle Trailer Kit 20100507. The offer does not confirm that kit is included.
Thule Chariot Cougar 2
The Thule Chariot Cougar 2 carries two children and can be configured for strolling, jogging or cycling with the appropriate setup. Its manual specifies up to 22 kg per passenger and 45 kg total for passengers and cargo, with a 111 cm maximum passenger height; the head or helmet must stay below the frame. It weighs 13 kg without conversion kits and folds to 107 cm × 80 cm × 27 cm. Always secure each child with the seat belt; the seat is unsuitable for children under six months. Cycling requires compatible Bicycle Trailer Kit 20100506; jogging requires a separate Jogging Kit. The offer does not confirm which kits are included.
- Our score: 9.33 / 10
Thule Chariot Cab 2
Thule Chariot Cab 2 is a two-child trailer and stroller built around cabin and cargo room. Its independently reclining seats, adjustable suspension and supplied strolling wheels suit mixed cycling and walking; the tall cabin and XXL cargo space are useful when two passengers and daily gear must fit together. The standard seat starts at 6 months for walking and 1 year for cycling, with per-child limits of 22 kg, 111 cm and 4 years. The instructions cap children plus luggage at 42 kg total, not 44 kg of passengers; Thule’s current page gives a different total, so follow the supplied manual and confirm before loading.
- Our score: 9.33 / 10
Thule Chariot Sport 2
Thule Chariot Sport 2 is the flagship multisport trailer for families that will genuinely use its disc brakes, integrated lighting and quick bike-to-stroller conversion. Two seats and suspension add flexibility, but its 17.7 kg weight, 80 cm door pass-through and separately sold running/ski kits require space and frequent use to justify the price.
- Our score: 9.33 / 10
Thule Coaster XT
Thule Coaster XT carries one or two children and includes both cycling and strolling kits. Each child is limited to 22 kg and 111 cm, while children and cargo together must remain within 45 kg.
- Our score: 9.33 / 10
Thule Courier
The Thule Courier makes sense if a two-seat trailer must also serve as a stroller and a genuine cargo hauler. Its FlipFlat floor can replace a second cart and the rear storage helps daily use; it remains bulkier than a single trailer, and the dog kit is sold separately.
- Our score: 9.33 / 10
Thule CX1 Child Carrier
The Thule Chariot CX1 is a 13.5 kg single-seat platform for separate strolling, cycling and jogging kits. Manual 371244 says its seat unit is unsuitable under six months and to use the harness as soon as the child can sit unaided; it limits the passenger to 22 kg and 111 cm, and child plus cargo together to 34 kg. Running requires the Thule Jogging Kit.
Strollers
- Our score: 9.33 / 10
Thule Urban Glide 4-wheel
Thule Urban Glide 4-wheel is the jogging-list option for parents who want Urban Glide running hardware with a more stable four-wheel stance. It suits active families comparing air tyres, suspension and hand-brake control, but it is still a larger specialist stroller rather than a compact city solution.
