Thule
Research by Peter Crona
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.

Bike Trailers

Thule Chariot Lite
The Thule Chariot Lite suits families wanting a suspended double trailer for cycling and walking, with optional ski or all-terrain kits. Its fold and VersaWing simplify activity changes; extra kits increase the cost substantially and should match activities you will actually use.
- Our score: 9.46 / 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.

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 Urban Glide 3
Thule Urban Glide 3 combines air-filled tyres, suspension, a lockable front wheel and a twist hand brake for mixed-surface walks. Thule lists it in its jogging range, but the instructions linked for this 101019XX generation say it is not suitable for running or skating. Choose another model if running is essential until Thule resolves that conflict; six months is only the stroller-seat minimum.

Thule RideAlong 2 Frame Mount
Thule RideAlong 2 Frame Mount suits families wanting a reclining rear seat without relying on a luggage rack. Its quick-release bracket and suspension help on repeated rides, but the seat tube must match Thule's round or oval limits and leave enough saddle, heel and rear-wheel clearance.
