ThuleSleek City Stroller

When I was pregnant with twins I wanted to get a stroller that could be used from the outset on walks, as well as everyday tasks. I did a lot of research and couldn’t find anything that had exactly what I needed—side by side strollers were too wide for our city sidewalks, most tandem strollers too long or heavy, and even the uppababy vista was designed for 2 different aged kids. I came across the Sleek and couldn’t be happier. It is easy to fold, has a small footprint, and comes with adapters for most infant car seats. I was torn between it and the baby jogger, but definitely made the right choice living in a place with hills. This stroller is also attractive and feels high quality.

My daughter loves it especially how it can recline when she wants to take a nap it is so versatile

This Thule (pronounced "tooly") is frankly overengineered. It has an ultimate feel, like a really well put together German car.Assembly was annoying because there's minimal instructions. I took a stab at it without the internet and had it almost completely assembled except the bonnet... just look at the picture on this page and you'll figure it out. The locking mechanism to fold and unfold takes some looking at to figure out, but it works great. I had the thing put together in about 15 minutes.It looks like it cost... well what it costs. It's expensive but it's so much nicer than the Graco we had. And it is nicer. The materials are superior, the body has suspension and give here and there, but not because it's creaking around.The wheels just roll really well, with lots of shock absorption. There are multiple bars protecting your little one, an easy to use and see seat-belt. It's just great! I really love the adjustable height handle, which squeezes just a bit, and will clearly absorb even more shock... it isn't just nice for the baby.The back wheels lock with a brake that is easy to turn on or off with the toe of your foot, and the back wheels also easily can be pulled off... though I doubt I use that feature. The front wheels can be locked forwards with a button on top.Importantly, the seat can be easily popped out and replaced with something else, such as a car seat adaptor. And it can be flipped around, which I think is fantastic, though please be careful about this recipe for distracted strolling. And it can be tilted. I figured that out without any guidance, like most of this seat... it's surprisingly intuitive.There's also a rainjacket thing to put over the seat. And a place to store it, with plenty of room for a little more.There's smart use of magnets, minimal but smart use of zippers, a window that opens up for seeing or touching your little one. It's as though they spent an enormous amount of time testing and designing this.What's lacking on this, that I found on the cheaper competition was a cupholder, or a place to set my phone. Granted, you can easily keep your waterbottle under the seat. You shouldn't be staring at your phone while pushing baby. But I see you can buy that cupholder... I would prefer something be included.The soft and ventilated bonnet is beautiful... most strollers have tacky fabrics... this one (I have the grey) looks very nice, and the other colors also seem pretty classy. That matters.Most importantly, it's so solid and feels like it's safer than other strollers. It's easy to control and maneuver despite being pretty big. It's made of great stuff, well designed, and you see where the money went.Pushing this around the park, sidewalk, street, and store, it's so smooth. I just push over cracks and minor bumps and it doesn't disturb the seat very much at all, which is surprising as the majority of the suspension is towards the back (which makes the pusher's experience very good).I have some great hiking packs from Thule and I'm happy that this is even better than those, which were excellent. Yes it's super super expensive, but it's really quite nice to use.

We needed a second stroller so that Mom and Dad could take the kids around separately. We decided on the Thule City Sleek rather than another Uppababy Vista. Having lived with both of these flagship strollers, I think we are in a good position to offer a comparison. In short, Dad prefers the Thule and mom finds them both to be excellent.-- Dad Loves the Thule. The quality materials and engineering thought that went into both of these strollers is evident once you use them. They both feel like the equivalent of pushing your kid around in a Mercedes. Smooth, refined, and just nicer in every respect than cheaper strollers. However, Dad -- who is the main user of this second stroller -- greatly prefers the Thule.The Thule sits a bit more upright than the Uppababy, giving it a shorter footprint. It's a bit easier to maneuver through a crowd. But with the high quality bearings on the front wheels, both turn just as well and in a nice tight radius. The Thule’s seat is of high quality and offers all of the recline adjustments, easy to use bumper bar, brake, and generous sized sun canopy. The fabrics look first class, feel great, and are easy to wipe down and wash.-- Better for Tall People. The Thule is more comfortable for Dad (who is tall) to push, since the handle comes up a few extra inches and it has a bit of extra toe room to accommodate his long stride.-- Enclosed Basket. Dad also loves the enclosed basket because things don't fall or bounce out of it. You can even leave some stuff in the basket when you fold the stroller up and shove it in a trunk. The Uppababy has a much larger basket, which Mom prefers for using as a shopping cart, but is prone to ejecting smaller objects on rough terrain and must be fully unloaded to fold and store in a car trunk.-- Choose Your Options. The Uppababy comes with a bassinet included, but the Thule lets you buy it separately and it’s price reflects this savings. We didn’t find the bassinet to be particularly useful in the suburbs and certainly did not need a second one, so this is a major plus for the Thule.-- Better Suspension. The integrated suspension on the Thule is noticeably better over rough terrain. Dad likes taking the older kid out for long walks over a gravel trail and playground and he feels that the Thule is perfectly suited to the task, even if it’s not a full off-road stroller.-- Better Style. Dad—who is a cyclist—much prefers the styling of the Thule stroller. He loves Thule products and has used their bike racks and car accessories for years. In his view the Thule stroller’s branding is subtle and it feels sleek and refined. He finds the Uppababy branding to be a bit shouty. He also finds the Thule to be a masculine counterpoint to the somewhat feminine Uppababy. Your mileage may vary.

We received a large box and all that was inside was the detachable seat of the stroller. Nothing else was inside! No wheels, no stroller, nothing. What a shame.

Love the stroller for it’s “SLEEK” style, versatility and smooth ride. HOWEVER, I guess I did not read the fine print as far as weight capacity/ dimensions??? Bought the second seat as I have baby and toddler. Baby is approaching 20 lbs, toddler is 35 lbs. Toddler doesn’t even fit in bottom seat with shade down. We kind of have to stuff her in. Unfortunately got rid of the box when I unwrapped stroller so can’t return. Hoping it will hold up another year. Kids won’t stop growing that’s for sure! I’d recommend this stroller as a double for baby twins or tiny tots. Def not mine.
