Quick answer
Set up the Thule Bassinet by clicking it onto your compatible Thule stroller—no tools needed. The ventilated mattress and easy-release system make it ideal for active parents who want a safe, portable sleep space for infants 0–6 months.
Why the Thule Bassinet fits an active lifestyle
The Thule Bassinet is designed for parents who don't want to slow down. It clicks onto most Thule strollers (Urban Glide 3, Urban Glide 3 double, Urban Glide 4-Wheel, and Thule Spring) in seconds, turning your everyday stroller into a lie-flat pram. The ventilated mattress helps keep your baby cool during warmer walks, and the bassinet folds flat for storage—key for families who pack the car frequently.
One trade-off: the bassinet is rated for infants up to about 6 months or until they can push up on their hands and knees. After that, you'll need to switch to the stroller seat. Also, it's not a standalone sleep product—it's designed for stroller use only, not for overnight sleeping or car travel.
How to set up the Thule Bassinet
- 1. Check compatibility and unfold the bassinet: Ensure your stroller is a Thule Urban Glide 3, Urban Glide 3 double, Urban Glide 4-Wheel, or Thule Spring. Remove the bassinet from its storage bag and fully unfold the fabric canopy and base. The mattress should lie flat without wrinkles or folds. Common mistake: trying to attach the bassinet while it's partially folded. Always unfold completely first.
- 2. Attach the bassinet to the stroller frame: Align the bassinet's mounting adapters with the stroller's frame brackets. Push down firmly until you hear a click on both sides. Give the bassinet a gentle tug to confirm it's locked in place. If one side doesn't click, check for debris in the adapter or bracket. Never force it—reposition and try again.
- 3. Secure the canopy and check ventilation: Pull the canopy forward until it clicks into the desired position. Ensure the mesh ventilation panels are unobstructed. The mattress should be flat and the bassinet's sides upright. A common oversight: leaving the canopy partially open can cause the bassinet to wobble. Fully extend the canopy for a stable ride.
- 4. Test the release mechanism before first use: Locate the release buttons or levers on both sides of the bassinet. Practice removing and reattaching it a few times so you can do it quickly when your baby is asleep. Always recheck the lock after reattaching. Never rely on memory alone—always do a visual and tug check each time you reattach the bassinet.
- 5. Pack and store the bassinet for travel: To fold the bassinet for storage, press the release buttons, remove it from the stroller, and collapse the fabric frame according to the included instructions. Store it in the provided bag or a dry, clean space. Avoid storing the bassinet with the mattress folded—this can create permanent creases that reduce comfort.
