Lightweight

The best double umbrella strollers are compact and lightweight, yet provide plenty. They're not as heavy as a conventional stroller or jogger and tend to be smaller when folded. They don't have the bells, whistles, and storage space of full-size strollers, they do have large canopy areas and seating that reclines.

Many families opt for a lightweight double umbrella stroller as it's a great stroller for traveling. It folds easily and fits into most carry-on bags or trunks for planes. It is an excellent option for narrow entrances and busy streets. It's also cheaper than a "travel stroller" with more features that you could use frequently.

Some of the top double strollers like the UPPAbaby G-Link 2 have features that aren't found on lighter options. The double umbrella stroller comes with hanging storage pockets and trays in each seat to store kids' snacks and toys and two cup holders for parents. The sleek design makes this double umbrella stroller one of the smallest on the market. It also has an extra-wide canopy to protect both seats.

Other options that are lightweight such as the Joovy Kooper X2, offer more bells and whistles than one would expect from a double stroller umbrella. It also offers a more comfy ride for both children due to padded seats and a more reclined seat. The more features you choose the more heavy the stroller. Also, you should be sure that your child doesn't get their fingers on the frames or hinges of these strollers because of how they open and close.

Compact

When folded when folded, the smallest double umbrella strollers are easy to maneuver and can be tucked away in tight spaces. These strollers are a great choice for parents who will use them frequently on streets, shopping malls, or to get around tourist destinations like the zoo and aquarium. These lightweight strollers are compact and compact. are also great to use for commutes or as a backup to a heavier stroller with more features when traveling.

There are two general styles of double umbrellas that are lightweight one of which is one with a limited number of features and those that include a number of convenience and comfort features, in addition to their small size and light weight. Some of the best examples are large pop-out umbrellas with SPF 50, peekaboo windows and seating cushions. They also have five-point safety harnesses on both sides, adjustable leg rests and reclining seats. It is also important to consider whether you'd like a car seat attachment as well as a tray for parents and the amount of storage space in each seat.

The Delta Children LX double running stroller Umbrella offers a lightweight, low-frills umbrella that is very affordable. This stroller weighs just 18 lbs and includes a handy carrying strap that can be schlepped easily into the trunk of your car or in a front hall closet when not in use. The front wheels are made of precise and swivel to provide a smoother ride and easier steering. Another option that is highly recommended is the new Kinderwagon Hop, a super narrow tandem umbrella stroller that's ultralight and easy to navigate through doors. This model was out of production for a few years however it's returning and worth looking into. It also comes with a larger three-panel canopy for improved sun protection over the smaller, basic models in this review.

Easy to Fold

The simplest umbrella strollers fold like umbrellas and weigh much less than other kinds of strollers. They are easy to carry, lift and store away which makes them perfect for when you do not want to take your full-size stroller for any reason (traveling by plane, touring in a foreign country, or visiting grandma). They often have fewer features than a full-featured stroller, but they should offer the basic functionality you need, such as a sun canopy and storage.

The UPPAbaby G-Link 2's latest version is slimmer, lighter and has a more efficient wheel structure on the front that enhances its maneuverability and pushability. It's a great choice for a stroller that can fit two kids. And it's Disney approved!

A double tri-fold stroller, like the Joovy Kooper X2, offers all the comfort of an umbrella-style stroller but in a body that's comparable in size to a full-size stroller. This kind of stroller is quickly replacing the traditional double umbrella model, and it might be the best choice when you're looking for a versatile stroller that is lightweight and easy to carry around.

The majority of double umbrella strollers we recommend are side by side models. The exception is the Kinderwagon Hop, a tandem umbrella stroller that's light and easy to fold (though it's also a bit small in width). This is a great choice for those looking for a simple, cheap double umbrella stroller you can easily put in your trunk for quick trips. It even has two storage bags that hang on the sides of each seat, as well as cup holders for parents. It's so bare bones that it's unlikely to help your children get through the airport without making them cranky--but it can to make the trip more comfortable.

Comfortable Seats

The majority of umbrella strollers don't come with any bells and whistles, because they are intended to do one thing: take two children from point A to point B. That's why they generally have seats that are spacious and comfortable, but don't have reclining options or all-terrain wheels.

The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 stands out. It's a light and compact double umbrella stroller that has two seats that weigh only 18 pounds each, which makes it an ideal choice for those who travel (it meets Disney size requirements). It has excellent suspension, a massive three-panel canopy that shields kids from the sun, and a decent amount of storage space in both seats, but not as many as our top picks. It comes with five-point safety belts in both seats, as well as the ability to peek into the canopy.

The only downside to the G-Link is that it doesn't have the belly bar and snack tray we've come to see in our top picks, however they aren't essential features for an umbrella stroller in the first place. Like all umbrella strollers, it must be handled with attention to avoid getting fingers stuck in hinges and mechanisms.

The seats in double umbrella strollers are usually side-by-side however, there are a few models that are inline (one seat behind the other). Inline models are easier to maneuver in doorways than side-byside models, but they usually have a difference in seating options that could make your kids fight over who gets the better seat. This issue was pretty equally split among our previous testers, so it really is a personal choice.

Safety

When selecting a stroller to your child safety should be the top priority. The design of the double stroller umbrella can affect its performance. Some models come close to offering the same level of security as larger double strollers. These strollers typically have 5-point harnesses, feet and calf rests for children, aswell being able to extend UPF 50and sunvisor. They are also usually narrower and lighter than other double umbrella strollers which makes them easier to maneuver in tight spaces such as airports or streets in cities.

Some models, like the Kinderwagon Hop are side-byside and are easy to push in tight spaces. This stroller is ideal for parents traveling with young kids and needing a simple and quick way to get around. It is also compact enough to fit in the trunk.

The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 is another model that is worth a look. It is among the lightest double strollers we have test-driven. It is a robust design for an umbrella-style stroller and features a large, accessible storage basket, reclining seats, and a peek-aboo window. The seat can also hold 35 pounds. and is able to meet Disney stroller specifications.

Other models, like the Jeep PowerGlide double stroller, are more basic in appearance and may not come with as many features. These strollers are lightweight and can be used for backups or even for occasional travel. They are also much cheaper than renting a stroller for the duration of a trip or vacation. They're easy to fold, lift, transport, and stow away.
