Unsure, Wobbly wheel disappointing but HOPEFUL!?
September 3, 2020
Hello, We just purchased the Thule Urban Glide 2 (single) after having had a Bob Revolution Pro (single) for 2 years. We were so excited for it to arrive last night, and prepared to love the Thule. We took it out on our 1st run this morning, and are very disappointed with the front wobble wheel. I understand it's supposed to be "locked" for running, but we NEVER locked the BOB and never had this issue, on the exact same terrain. (Street, compacted sand path, and sidewalk) The street & compacted sand seemed fine, but the sidewalk with barely uneven bricks (more like normal cracks between sidewalk squares) caused constant wobble (4x in just a block). I just tightened the wheel and hopeful that will help for our next run, but are there any other solutions?
I think it's the weight distribution, the front wheel is too light and the child's weight goes on to the back wheels, but my son isn't a tiny baby, he's 28 lbs and almost 2 years old. Hopeful you have some solutions!
Side notes based on our 1st experience with the Thule vs. the Bob Pro that we ran with for the past nearly 2 years:
I love black on black look, sleek design, lighter weight, & lifetime warranty. The magnetic peekaboo window is small compared to the Bob's window. The canopy has enough coverage, but I wish the canopy would fold half way in with the peek-a-boo window still accessible. (On the Bob, you could fold in just half of the canopy.) Also, I wish the seat sat upright more. Once my son turned 18 months, he wants to sit up to see, not constantly be on an angle. The leg space seems a bit short too, and it's 1" wider than the Bob Pro single. These are small comments, as it is lighter than the Bob, easier to maneuver (when the front wheel isn't wobbling), more stylish, less bulky looking, and the most important reason we picked it is the limited LIFETIME warranty! We're hoping it doesn't rust/show wear, and that we can fix the front wheel wobble.
