The Urban Glide 3 is the pick for parents who want to run with their child. Thule fits large 16 inch air-filled tires, a swivel front wheel that locks in place when you speed up, and an integrated twist hand brake for controlling speed on hills. None of the other strollers on this list is designed for jogging. The fold is one-handed and compact with a self-stand feature, and the cargo basket has a zip-top cover, a rear mesh pocket and two mesh compartments for snacks. The seat has an adjustable recline, a built-in leg rest and a magnetic buckle on the 5-point harness, and the child limit is 49 lb. For a newborn, Thule says you need its bassinet ($299.95) or an infant car seat adapter, both sold separately, which pushes the real cost past $1,000. Air tires also need the occasional pump, unlike the never-flat or foam-filled tires on the UPPAbaby and Nuna.
