They don't have the bells or whistles that are found on full-size strollers, but they often provide large canopies, plenty of storage space and reclining seats.

Many families choose an umbrella stroller that is lightweight as it's a great stroller for traveling. It folds easily and fits in most carry-on bags or trunks for planes. It is an excellent option for narrow entrances and busy streets. It's cheaper than more feature-rich "travel stroller" that you could take for walks on a daily basis.

double running buggy as the Joovy Kooper X2, offer more bells and whistles than one would expect from a double stroller umbrella, such as the ability to provide a more comfortable ride for both kids thanks to the padded seats and deeper recline on each seat. The more features you select the more weighty the stroller. You'll also want to be careful that your child doesn't catch their fingers on the hinges or frames of these strollers due to the way they open and close.

Compact

The tiniest double umbrella strollers that fold are easy to maneuver and fit well in tight spaces. They're an excellent option for parents who intend to take their stroller regularly on the sidewalks, in shopping malls, or to travel around tourist destinations such as the zoo, aquarium or museums. These compact strollers that are lightweight are also ideal for commuting or as a substitute for the heavier, more features-packed stroller while traveling.

There are two types of double umbrellas that are lightweight: those with very few features and those that include numerous convenience and comfort features, in addition to their compact size and lightweight weight. Some of the most effective examples include nice-sized pop-out canopies with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows and padding seats and 5-point safety harnesses for both seat areas, reclining seats, and adjustable leg rests. Other key factors to consider are whether or not you require a tray for your child or car seat attachment and the amount of storage space each seat has.

The Delta Children LX Double Umbrella is a great example of the bare-bones minimal, simple option that is incredibly light and incredibly affordable. The stroller weighs only 18 pounds and comes with an easy-to-carry strap for schlepping and fits easily in the trunk of your car or a front closet when not in use. Its front wheels have precision technology and swivel, providing smooth riding and easy steering. Another option that is highly recommended is the new Kinderwagon Hop, a super narrow tandem umbrella stroller that's also ultralight and easy to navigate through doors. The model was removed from the market for a few years, but is returning to production and is worth a look. It also comes with a larger three-panel canopy for improved sun protection than the less-than-perfect models in this review.

Easy to Fold

The most basic umbrella strollers fold down like an umbrella, and they weigh less than other models. They are simple to carry, lift and stow which makes them perfect for when you aren't able to carry your full-size stroller for any reason (traveling on a plane, exploring a foreign country, visiting grandma). They typically have fewer features than an all-inclusive stroller, but they should have the basic features you require, such as storage and a sun canopy.

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

A double tri-fold stroller, like the Joovy Kooper X2, offers all the features of an umbrella-style stroller but in a body that's comparable in size to a full-size stroller. This type of stroller is replacing the traditional double umbrella stroller. It's probably the best choice if searching for a light and flexible stroller.

The majority of double umbrella strollers we recommend are side by side models. The Kinderwagon Hop is an umbrella tandem stroller that's light, easy to fold and quite small in width. This is a great option for those looking for a simple inexpensive double umbrella stroller that you can easily put in your trunk for quick trips. It comes with two storage bins that hang from the bags at the back of each seat, as well as cup holders for parents. It's so basic that it's not going to get your kids through the airport without causing them to be cranky, but it will help make the journey more enjoyable.

Comfortable Seats

The majority of umbrella strollers don't come with many bells and whistles because they only have one purpose: to get two children from A to B. They typically come with comfortable, spacious seats but no reclining options or all terrain wheels.

The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 stands out. It is a lightweight and compact double umbrella stroller that comes with two seats that weigh only 18 pounds. This makes it a great option for those who travel. It has a great suspension, a huge three-panel canopy that easily shields children from the sun and plenty of storage space in both seats, but not as much as our top selections. 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 we'd love to see on our top choices. However, these features aren't essential for an umbrella stroller. And, like any umbrella stroller, it needs to be used with care to ensure that fingers - whether your own or children's get caught in the folding frame hinges and mechanisms.

The seats in a double umbrella stroller are typically side by side however there are some models that are inline (one seat behind the other). Inline models are easier to navigate through doorways than side by side models however their seating arrangement could cause your kids to fight over which seat. This was pretty equally split among our previous test subjects It really is an individual choice.

Safety

Your child's safety must be the top consideration when choosing a stroller, and the design of a double umbrella stroller can affect this aspect of its performance. Some models come close to providing the same level of safety as the full-sized double strollers. They typically come with 5-point harnesses with foot rests, calf and calf straps for children, and an extendable UPF 50+ sun visor. They are usually also smaller and lighter than other double umbrella strollers which makes them easier to maneuver through tight spaces like airports or streets in cities.

Some models, such as the Kinderwagon Hop, are side-by-sides and are particularly simple to maneuver through narrow spaces. This stroller is an excellent choice for parents who are traveling with young children and need a fast and convenient way to get around. It's also small enough to fit easily into a trunk or storage space.

The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 is another model worth looking into. It is among the lightest double strollers we have test-driven. It's a surprising sturdy design for an umbrella style product. It also has an enormous, easily accessible storage basket as well as reclining chairs and the window that peeks out. The seat is also able to hold 35 lbs and is able to meet Disney stroller size requirements.

Other models, like the Jeep PowerGlide Double Stroller, might be simpler in appearance and may not come with as many features. However they are very lightweight and can be used as a backup for occasional travel purposes. They're also cheaper than renting the stroller for a whole vacation or for a trip. They are also easy to fold, lift, carry, and stow away.
