Thule: Engineered for Active Families

Sweden has always been ahead of the game when it comes to active lifestyle. Throughout the 1940’s and 50’s, while America was being introduced to television and convenience food and still had a few decades before Jane Fonda’s workout tapes, Sweden already had an established health-conscious culture, and it only got better from there. With their dedication to functionality and innovative engineering, Swedish companies produced some of the best outdoor gear available anywhere.

Nowadays, “crunchy” moms, outdoors enthusiasts, and weekend warriors all over the world are using Swedish gear to make their outward bound experiences easier and more fun. Founded in 1942, Thule is one of the most respected outdoor gear companies in Sweden. The company creates products like bike carriers, backpacks, ski racks, and more that make it simple to bring sporting gear just about anywhere. Now, Thule is offering its unique products to parents who want to include infants and children in their active lives.

Thule’s collection of strollers/child carriers is quite impressive. Each carrier has features that active parents want and need, and a sleek, modern look that adds to its appeal. The only question parents need to consider is what type of activities they enjoy doing with their children. If they love to take the baby along on neighborhood walks or jogs on a nearby trail, they can pick one of the solid, basic jogging strollers like the Thule Glide. This model is lightweight and folds easily while still offering details like an adjustable handlebar, rear suspension, and a soft reclining seat for baby.

A very sporty family that plans on long hikes, bike rides or winter sports with baby in tow can go all out and pick a multi-functional child carrier. These carriers have a remarkable number of features. With the proper attachments, they can convert from a sport stroller into a bike trailer or even a ski trailer! The Thule Chariot CX 1 is a top-of-the-line model. This all-terrain, 3-wheeled stroller offers adjustable suspension to enhance the rider’s comfort on bumpy terrain, an ergonomic handlebar design to increase comfort for mom or dad, and disc brakes that enable safe stopping on steep inclines.
