UppaBaby Ridge Running Buggy Review 

UppaBaby is a well respected, premium brand within the buggy market and many friends have UppaBaby buggies for everyday use (we just use a Babyzen Yoyo and Thule Urban Glide 2) which has definitely saved us a lot of space and meant we don’t need 3 buggies (or more!) as many families do.  I typically run 2-3 times a week with the buggy, usually 3-5 miles at a time and often with the dog too (although I imagine this will increase when I stop marathon training). As mentioned, the running buggy I use is the Thule Urban Glide 2, which is a top of the range running buggy that I’ve put well over 500 miles of walking and running over the past 16 months. I’m using that as my comparison buggy for the purpose of these reviews…  This is the latest iteration of the UppaBaby Ridge after the last model had to be recalled due to an incident with the rear disc brakes - which they have now fixed. Billed as a a performance, all terrain buggy that takes you from road to trail and off the beaten path....

Thule Urban Glide 2 Running Buggy Review

We’ve probably all been overtaken by  a runner sprinting past with a buggy at parkrun. I had aspirations of being my strongest ever when pushing the buggy but the reality is, buggy running is hard!...
