Overall Brand Rating — averaged across Reputation, Innovation, and Value scores from all reviewed products.
Thule Group traces back to 1942 in Hillerstorp, Sweden, where it built its name on car roof racks and cargo carriers before expanding into bike racks, backpacks, and rooftop tents. The company is publicly traded on Nasdaq Stockholm and headquartered in Malmö, Sweden, with products sold through roughly 4,700 points of sale worldwide.
Every Thule product, including its strollers, is developed against the company's own internal Thule Test Center standards — more than 25 proprietary tests covering everything from UV exposure to impact durability. Thule's stroller line, sold under its "Active with Kids" category, is a newer addition relative to the company's decades of outdoor-gear engineering, built around the same one-hand-operation philosophy the brand applies to its roof racks and bike carriers.
🏆 Best Overall
The Spring is Thule's compact city stroller, built around a genuinely fast one-hand fold that stands on its own when closed.
Based on the one model we've reviewed so far, yes — the Spring delivers a genuinely fast one-hand fold and a comfortable seat, backed by Thule's rigorous internal testing standards and a limited lifetime frame warranty. We'll have a clearer brand-wide picture as we review more of the lineup.
Thule's current stroller range includes the Spring 2 (the successor to the Spring reviewed here) and the Urban Glide, an all-terrain jogging stroller. Thule is a newer entrant to strollers relative to its decades in roof racks and bike carriers.
Independent testing of the Spring found the frame doesn't feel quite as robust as Thule's higher-end outdoor gear, with some flex on rough terrain. It's backed by a limited lifetime frame warranty, which suggests Thule stands behind the build long-term.
Yes — Thule strollers carry a limited lifetime warranty on the frame, with fabric and parts covered for 3 years.
Of the Thule strollers we've reviewed so far, the Spring Compact Stroller is our current pick — see our full review above for whether its one-hand fold and city-friendly size fit your needs.
