Two children, two sets of snacks and one shared stroller: the useful comparison between the BOB Revolution Flex 3.0 Duallie and Thule Urban Glide 3 Double starts with what you need to carry together. Both are side-by-side models with air-filled tires and suspension. The bigger differences are how they allocate storage, how you control speed and how much room they need between outings.
BOB offers ten storage pockets, a roughly 15 kg stroller weight and a 77.5 cm overall width. Thule adds a twist hand brake, built-in leg rests and a covered basket with a higher basket load limit. Neither is a small indoor double: Thule specifies an 80 cm door passage, and BOB's width still deserves a measurement at your narrowest entrance.
Two full seats do not leave a full basket allowance
The BOB manual limits each child to 22.7 kg and the combined children-plus-luggage load to 45.4 kg. Its lower basket is limited to 4.5 kg. Thule's Double instructions list 22 kg per child and 45 kg for children plus luggage; the basket has its own 7 kg limit. Those basket limits sit inside the total allowance, not on top of it.
For example, two children weighing 20 kg each leave 5.4 kg of total luggage allowance in the BOB and 5 kg in the Thule. BOB's basket can still hold no more than 4.5 kg. Thule's nominal 7 kg basket cannot carry all 7 kg with those two passengers because that would exceed the 45 kg combined limit. Anything in other pockets also uses part of the remaining luggage allowance.
With lighter passengers, Thule's higher basket allowance can be useful for a heavier main bag. BOB's ten pockets favour separating smaller belongings so you can reach one child's item without unpacking the main basket. This is a choice between a higher basket ceiling and more built-in organization, not a reason to load every compartment to its maximum at once.
The brake difference matters on the walk
Urban Glide 3 Double has an integrated twist hand brake for controlling speed. Revolution Flex 3.0 Duallie has a foot-operated parking brake, which BOB explicitly says must not be used to slow or stop a moving stroller. If hand-operated speed control is a priority, it is a concrete reason to choose the Thule over this particular BOB model.
For running, read the activity rules before choosing. The safety booklet linked to the Canadian Urban Glide 3 Double says the product is not suitable for running or skating. Its air-filled tires and lockable front wheel do not change that restriction.
BOB's manual allows jogging under specific conditions: it recommends limiting jogging or off-road use to children over eight months and consulting the child's pediatrician before first use. It requires the front wheel locked, the seat fully upright and the wrist strap in use; never jog with an infant car seat attached. Age alone is not a readiness assessment. The complete manual remains essential for that use.
Give each passenger their own adjustment
Thule explicitly provides independent reclining seats, built-in leg rests and individually adjustable canopies. That combination is useful when one child wants a more upright view and the other needs a different seat or canopy position. The current Canadian model also has magnetic buckles in its adjustable five-point harnesses.
BOB offers one-handed recline adjustments from near-flat to fully upright, plus no-rethread five-point harnesses. Its nine-position handlebar gives caregivers another adjustment to compare. Thule's leg rests and buckle arrangement may matter more to one family; BOB's seat adjustment and pocket layout may be the stronger everyday draw for another.
Check both children against the limits, not only the younger passenger's age. BOB lists a maximum height of 112 cm and 22.7 kg per seat. Thule's regular-seat instructions specify six months to four years, 111 cm and 22 kg per child, whichever limit comes first. A newborn needs an approved infant configuration rather than simply a reclined regular seat.
Doorway and car space are separate decisions
BOB's published overall width is 77.5 cm; Thule specifies an 80 cm door passage. These are different measures, so do not turn the subtraction into a guaranteed clearance advantage. Measure the usable opening at a gate, lift or storage room, including the turn immediately beyond it. An outdoor route can still begin with a narrow indoor bottleneck.
For car loading, BOB's Canadian specification gives a 15 kg stroller weight versus Thule's 16 kg. BOB is about 1 kg lighter to lift empty. Thule counters with a one-hand fold and a self-standing folded position; BOB describes a two-step fold. Frequent lifting and the way you set the folded stroller down may matter more than the small weight difference alone.
Compare the same packing state. BOB publishes a wheels-on folded length of 101.6 cm and height of 44.5 cm, reducing to 83.8 cm long and 30.5 cm high with wheels off. Thule's compact 88 x 79 x 34 cm dimensions are illustrated with the rear wheels removed. A trunk that fits a stripped-down fold may still require that extra step after every outing.
Choose the compromise you will notice most
For two-child walks, Thule makes a strong case when you want the hand brake, independent leg-rest setup and covered 7 kg basket, provided the combined load and doorway fit work. BOB is worth closer attention when pocket organization, its no-rethread harnesses and slightly lower lifting weight better match your routine. A running purchase needs the separate activity decision above.
