Quick Answer

To install the Thule Urban Glide 3 Bumper Bar, slide each end into the mounting brackets on the stroller frame until you hear a click, then pull gently to confirm it's locked.

Why Install a Bumper Bar?

A bumper bar gives your child a secure place to hold onto and prevents them from leaning forward too far. It also creates a natural barrier that keeps small toys or snacks within easy reach during walks.

Steps to Install the Bumper Bar

  1. Step 1: Locate the mounting brackets: Find the two small brackets on the inside of the stroller frame, one on each side near the seat area. They are pre-installed on the Thule Urban Glide 3. If you cannot see the brackets, check that the stroller is fully unfolded and locked open.
  2. Step 2: Insert one end of the bumper bar: Hold the bumper bar at a slight angle and push one end into the bracket. You should feel resistance as it slides in. Do not force it. If it does not slide in easily, adjust the angle slightly.
  3. Step 3: Insert the other end: While keeping the first end seated, push the opposite end into the other bracket. Apply firm, even pressure until you hear a click. A common mistake is pushing at an uneven angle, which can prevent the click from happening.
  4. Step 4: Verify the lock: Gently pull the bumper bar outward on both sides to confirm it is securely locked. It should not move or come loose. If the bar pulls out, repeat steps 2 and 3, ensuring each end clicks fully into place.
  5. Step 5: Test with your child: Place your child in the stroller and observe them holding the bar. Ensure they cannot slide their hands underneath or pull the bar off. Always supervise your child when using the bumper bar for the first time to confirm a safe fit.
