Lightweight

The best double umbrella strollers can provide a lot of functionality in a small, light package. They're not as heavy as a traditional stroller or jogger and tend to be smaller when folded. While they don't have the whistles, bells and storage space of larger strollers, they offer large canopies and seating that reclines.

Many families choose a light double umbrella stroller because it's a great stroller for traveling. It's easy to fold and fits in the majority of trunks and carry-on bags, and is an excellent choice for getting around narrow sidewalks and tight doors. It's cheaper than an extra-featured "travel stroller" that you might use for everyday walks.

Some of the best double strollers like the UPPAbaby G-Link 2 have features that you won't see on the lighter models. This double umbrella stroller features hanging storage pockets, tray for snacks and toys in each seat and two cupholders for parents. The streamlined design makes this double umbrella stroller among the most compact available. It also comes with an extra-wide canopy to safeguard both seats.

Other lightweight options, such as the Joovy Kooper X2, offer more bells and whistles than you would expect from a double stroller umbrella, including a more comfy ride for both children due to padded seats as well as a deeper recline on each seat. It's important to remember, though, that the more features you choose, the more your stroller will weigh. Also, because of the way strollers can be closed and opened you'll need to be careful not to let little fingers get caught on frames or hinges, especially if your child is sitting in a seat or a chair.

Compact

The tiniest double umbrella strollers when folded are easy to maneuver and fit well in tight spaces. They're an excellent option for parents who plan to use their stroller often on sidewalks, at shopping malls or to travel around tourist destinations like the zoo, aquarium or museums. These compact strollers that are lightweight are also ideal to commute in or as a backup to an extra heavy, equipped stroller when traveling.

There are two main types of double umbrellas that are lightweight that have a few features and those that offer numerous convenience and comfort features, in addition to their small size and lightweight weight. Some of the most effective examples include large pop-out umbrellas with SPF 50 and a peekaboo windows with cushioned seats, 5-point safety harnesses in both seats, reclining seats, and adjustable leg rests. Other key factors to consider are whether or not you want a tray for your child and car seat attachment capabilities and how much storage space each seat comes with.

The Delta Children LX Double Umbrella is a light, low-cost umbrella that is very affordable. The stroller weighs just 18 lbs and comes with an easy-to-carry strap, and can be easily stored in the trunk of your car or in the front closet of your home. The front wheels are made of precision technology and swivel to provide an easier ride and smoother steering. The new Kinderwagon Hop is a tandem umbrella stroller that has a narrow width that is also light and easy for you to navigate through doorways. This model was out of production for a few years, but it is now back and is worth looking into. It also has a larger three-panel canopy to provide better sun protection than the smaller, basic models in this review.

Easy to Fold

The most basic umbrella strollers fold like an umbrella and weigh much less than other types of strollers. They are easy to lift, carry and store and are ideal when you don't want to bring your full-size stroller due to any reason (traveling via plane, traveling to in a new country, visiting grandma). These strollers are usually less feature-rich than full-featured models, but they will offer the basics like storage space and a sun canopy.

The G-Link 2's newest version is lighter, narrower and has an efficient wheel structure on the front that enhances its maneuverability and pushability. It's a great choice for a double travel stroller--and it's approved by Disney!

A double tri-folded stroller such as the Joovy Kooper X2 offers all the convenience and ease of use of an umbrella stroller within an appearance that is similar to a full-size stroller. This kind of stroller is replacing the standard double umbrella stroller. It's probably the best option if you are seeking a light, multi-purpose stroller.


The majority of double umbrella strollers that we recommend are side-by-side models. The exception is the Kinderwagon Hop, a tandem umbrella stroller that's extremely lightweight and easy to fold (though it's also relatively small in width). If you're looking for a low-cost, simple, no-frills double umbrella stroller that you can throw in your trunk or back pack for short trips, we recommend this one. It comes with two storage bins that hang from the bag on the back of each seat, and cup holders for the parents. It's so basic that it's unlikely to get your kids through an airport without making them cranky--but it will help make the journey more comfortable.

Comfortable Seats

Most umbrella strollers aren't equipped with many bells and whistles because they're designed with one purpose: to get two children from one place to the other. That's why they generally have seats that are spacious and comfortable however they don't come with reclining options or all-terrain wheels.

The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 stands out. It is a lightweight and compact double umbrella stroller with two seats that weigh just 18 lbs. This makes it a fantastic choice for travelers. It comes with a large canopy with three panels that shields children from the sun. Both seats offer plenty of storage but not like some of our top choices. It has 5-point safety belts on both seats, as well as peek-a-boo window in the canopy.

The G-Link lacks the bellybar and snack tray that we'd like to see on our top choices. But these features aren't necessary for umbrella strollers. And, like any umbrella stroller, it needs to be used with care so fingers, whether your own or a child's--don't get caught in the folding frame hinges and mechanisms.

The seats in a double umbrella stroller are usually side by side, but there are some models that are inline (one seat behind the other). Inline models are more convenient to maneuver in doorways than side-by-side models, however they typically have a gap between seating features that can cause your children to argue over who gets the best seat. Our previous test subjects were equally divided on this issue, so it's really a personal decision.

Safety

When selecting a stroller to your child, safety is the most important consideration. The design of a double stroller umbrella can make or break its performance. Some models are close to offering the same level safety as the full-sized double strollers. They typically come with 5-point harnesses and feet and calf rests for children, aswell as an extendable UPF 50plus sunvisor. They tend to be narrower and lighter compared to other double umbrella strollers. This makes them more maneuverable in tight spaces like airports and city streets.

Some models, like the Kinderwagon Hop, are side-by-sides and are especially simple to maneuver through narrow spaces. This stroller is a great choice for parents who are traveling with children and need a fast and easy way to get around. It's also compact enough to easily fit in a trunk or storage space.

Another model worth considering is the UPPAbaby G-Link 2, which is among the lightest double umbrella strollers we test. It's a surprising sturdy design for an umbrella style product. It also features a large storage basket that is easily accessible as well as reclining chairs and a peekaboo window. The seat can also hold 35 pounds and is in line with Disney stroller size requirements.

Push Chairs And Prams , such as the Jeep PowerGlide double stroller, are more basic in appearance and may not come with the same features. However, these strollers are still extremely light and can be used as a backup for occasional travel purposes. They are also much cheaper than renting the stroller for a whole vacation or for a trip. They are also easy to fold, lift, carry, and stow away.
