So your baby is finally here, and you will spend the next few months nurturing. As a runner an athlete or somebody wanting to get back into shape you are now at a crossroads because you feel you will be grounded.
Having been there myself, I found that by the time my baby was two months old I really felt the need to start running again. I was pretty tight on money and time, so the gym was out of the picture.

However, after some careful thinking, I opted for a sports stroller. If you can relate to this and wonder how you can get back to some of your old routine, then this is definitely one option. The Thule Urban Glide Sport Stroller is what worked for me. It is ideal for an urban setting, and it has some awesome features and functionality.

Expensive Pricing
The Thule Urban Glide sports stroller is a very competitive priced model coming in at sub $300-$600. Most sports strollers are slightly or overly more expensive.
Accessories are also well priced too, and there is a widespread availability of spare parts. This is really important for a sports stroller as it will be exposed to rigorous use and parts could break, wear or just fall off.
Thule has a handy parts brochure that you can download from their website. This then makes parts ordering easier thanks to the listed diagrams with part numbers.
Awesome Functionality
There is some really solid functionality with ergonomic bars for starters. When you are running, you must have a comfortable grip. The height and angle of your arms need to be comfortable. The Urban Glide has a smooth and sleek styling exactly to fit this purpose.
Pockets are easily secured and plentiful; a vital feature when you are out in the strong wind, unforgiving rain or blaring sunshine.
Fantastic Maneuvering
The stroller has great steering and high-quality bespoke suspension. Even with a 5 point harness, there are limits to how much you can bounce around the baby.The large rear wheels have inflated trail tires that complement the suspension.
The front wheel is smaller and also has an inflated tire. This means you can adjust tire pressure to the ground style you run on.
