After months of research, I decided to pull the trigger on the new Thule Spring Stroller despite not having many reviews. Hopefully my review helps others trying to decide as well.
I needed a stroller in between light-weight and all terrain for my 2 year old. I wanted something compact but sturdier than most umbrella/ light weight strollers with the maneuverability of a 3 wheel stroller. I’ve compiled a list of pros/cons in comparison to other strollers that I have used (single Bob, Chicco Activ3, City Mini Gt, summer infant 3D light). It arrived packaged really well—double boxed and all parts were protected in foam and it arrived in perfect condition after being shipped all the way to Japan. My toddler is 30lbs and 35 inches tall.
Pros: much more compact than Bob, City Mini and Chicco, smooth ride comparable to Bob and City Mini, great maneuverability, large and easily accessible under carriage basket, quality materials, large and extendable sunshade, light and easy fold, price point (purchased for $243) and I can clip my diaper bag on the handle while the seat is empty without it tipping over.
Cons: I cannot maneuver it with one hand, the seat is not very deep and my toddler doesn’t sit as comfortably as other strollers. I have trouble going over 2-3 inch curbs and get stuck quite often but I would say the 5 point harness is my least favorite feature. Each of the 4 clips have to be clipped in individually and in a certain order (sides slid in place first and then the shoulder straps clipped) which is extremely challenging with a bucking toddler that doesn’t want to be strapped in.
Overall, I am partial to my Bob Single Stroller but it’s way too large for what I need right now. The Thule Spring stroller will be perfect for crowded, tight spaces and narrow doorways and will fit I the back of my small car.
