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.

Child Bike Seats
- Our score: 9.66 / 10
Thule Yepp 2 Maxi Rack Mount
Thule Yepp 2 Maxi Rack Mount is the rear-seat option for a bike that already has a compatible, child-seat-rated rack. The five-point harness, adjustable footrests and wipe-clean foam suit everyday trips; confirm rack standard, width, load rating and the current 40 lb (18.1 kg) child limit before ordering.
- Our score: 9.49 / 10
Thule Yepp Nexxt 2 Maxi Rack Mount
This Burnished Yellow Yepp Nexxt 2 Maxi mounts on a compatible rear rack, not the bike frame. Its padded seat and five-point harness suit everyday rides with a child within the 40 lb (18.1 kg) limit; the rack rating and rail dimensions are the purchase checks.
- Our score: 9.46 / 10
Thule Yepp Nexxt2 Frame Mount
Thule Yepp Nexxt2 Frame Mount is a rear child bike seat for families who want a frame-mounted setup from an established bike-seat brand. The decision is bike compatibility: confirm frame fit, child size limits, and installation manual before riding.
- Our score: 9.33 / 10
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.
- Our score: 9.33 / 10
Thule Yepp 2 MIK HD
Thule Yepp 2 MIK HD is the quick click-in rear seat for a bike that already has a genuine MIK HD carrier. Its 5-point harness and adjustable footrests suit everyday family rides, but this version is incompatible with ordinary MIK or universal racks, so the carrier marking must be checked before buying.
Bike Trailers
- Our score: 9.60 / 10
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 48.5 lb (22 kg) and 43.7 in (111 cm), while children and cargo together must remain within 99.2 lb (45 kg).
- Our score: 9.42 / 10
Thule Cadence
The Thule Cadence suits families who want a more straightforward two-seat bike-only trailer from a premium trailer specialist without paying for stroller conversion or multisport extras.
- Our score: 9.33 / 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 35.5 lb (16.1 kg) and Thule lists an 31.5 in (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 48.5 lb (22 kg), 43.7 in (111 cm) and 4 years. The instructions cap children plus luggage at 92.6 lb (42 kg) total, so 48.5 lb (22 kg) per child does not permit 97 lb (44 kg) of passengers.
- 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.
Strollers
- Our score: 9.57 / 10
Thule Urban Glide 2
Previous-generation Urban Glide; compare Thule Urban Glide 3 first unless the older model is meaningfully discounted
Thule Urban Glide 2 is still a strong jogging and rough-ground stroller for active families who will really use it on longer walks, rougher surfaces, and faster outings. In standard form it is much more clearly a from-6-months stroller than a real newborn shortlist pick.
- Our score: 9.53 / 10
Thule Urban Glide 3 Double
The Urban Glide 3 Double gives two children separate reclines and leg rests, with air-filled tires and a twist hand brake for varied walking routes. Measure your doorway and lifting space: Thule specifies a 31.5 in (80 cm) pass-through and a 35.3 lb (16 kg) frame. The standard seats start at six months. Treat this version as a walking stroller; its linked safety instructions prohibit running and skating.
- Our score: 9.39 / 10
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.
