Lightweight

The top double umbrella strollers are small and light, yet offer a lot. They aren't as heavy as a conventional stroller or jogger, and are typically smaller when folded too. They don't have the whistles, bells and storage space of full-size strollers; they do provide large canopies and reclined seats.

A lightweight double umbrella stroller is a favorite choice for pushchairsandprams families who travel together. It's easy to fold, can be tucked away in the majority of trunks and airline carry-on bags, and is generally a good choice for navigating tight doorways and crowded sidewalks. It's also less expensive than a "travel stroller" with more features can be used on a daily basis.

Some of the top double strollers, such as the UPPAbaby G-Link 2 have features that aren't found on cheaper models. This double umbrella stroller has hanging storage pockets with trays for toys and snacks in each seat, and two cup holders for parents. The sleek design makes this double umbrella stroller one of the most compact on the market. It also comes with an extra wide canopy that protects both seats.

Other lightweight options like the Joovy Kooper X2, offer more bells and whistles than you'd expect from a double stroller umbrella. It also offers more comfortable rides for both kids thanks to padded seats and a higher recline for each seat. The more features you pick, the heavier the stroller. Also, you should be careful that your child doesn't get their fingers on the frames or hinges of these strollers due to how they open and close.

Compact

When folded when folded, the small double umbrella strollers are easily maneuverable and fit into small spaces. They're a good choice for parents who plan to use their stroller frequently on the sidewalks, in shopping malls, or to get around tourist attractions like the aquarium, zoo or museums. These compact double stroller, lightweight strollers are also ideal for commutes or as a backup option to the heavier, more feature-packed stroller when traveling.

There are two types of umbrellas that are lightweight one of which is one with a limited number of features, and those that provide many convenience and comfort features in addition to their compact size and light weight. Some of the most effective examples include large pop-out umbrellas with SPF 50, windows that peek out and cushioned seats. They also have five-point safety harnesses on both sides, as well as adjustable leg rests, and reclining seats. It is also important to consider whether you would like an attachment for your car seat, a parent tray and the amount of storage space available in each seat.

The Delta Children LX Hauck Atlantic Twin Double Buggy in Grey Umbrella provides a lightweight, low-cost umbrella that is affordable. This stroller weighs only 18 pounds and comes with a convenient carrying strap for schlepping and fits easily in the trunk of your car, or a front hall closet when not in use. The front wheels are precision technology and swivel for more comfort and ease of steering. The brand new Kinderwagon Hop is a tandem umbrella stroller with a narrow width that is also ultralight and easy for you to navigate through doorways. The model was off the market for a while but is now back in production and worth a look. It also comes with a three-panel canopy that offers more sun protection than smaller models.

Easy to Fold

The simplest umbrella strollers fold like an umbrella and weigh much less than other types of strollers. They are easy to carry, lift and store when you don't want or don't have a larger stroller due to a reason (traveling on an airplane, touring a foreign city, visiting grandma). They usually aren't as well-equipped as an all-inclusive stroller, but they should have the basic functionality you need like a sun canopy and storage.

The G-Link 2's newest version is lighter, narrower and has an improved wheel structure on the front that enhances its maneuverability and pushability. It's an excellent choice for a stroller that can hold two children. It's also Disney approved!

A double tri-fold stroller, like the Joovy Kooper X2, offers all the features of a stroller that has an umbrella design, but with a body comparable in size to a full-size stroller. This class of stroller is fast replacing the classic double umbrella, and might be the best choice if you need 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 Kinderwagon Hop is an umbrella tandem stroller that is light, easy to fold and relatively narrow. If you're looking for a low-cost simple, minimalist, no-frills umbrella stroller that you can put in your trunk or back pack for short trips, we strongly recommend this one. It comes with two storage bins that hang from the bag on the back of each seat, as well as cup holders for the parents. It's so basic that it's not going to allow your kids to get through an airport without getting them cranky, but it will make the journey more enjoyable.

Comfortable Seats

Most umbrella strollers don't feature any bells and whistles, because they're designed to perform one task: get two kids from point A to point B. They typically have comfortable, spacious seats, but no recline options or all-terrain wheels.

The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 stands out. It's a light and compact double umbrella stroller with two seats that weigh just 18 pounds each, making it a fantastic choice for anyone who travels (it meets Disney size requirements). It comes with a large canopy with three panels that protect children from sun. Both seats offer ample storage but not as much as our top picks. It also has the crucial 5-point safety harnesses in both seats as well as windows that peek out in their canopies.

A downside of the G-Link is that it doesn't have the belly bar and snack tray that we love to see in our top picks, however they aren't necessary features for an umbrella stroller in the first place. As with any umbrella stroller, it should be handled with care so that fingers--whether your own or a child's--don't get caught in the folding frame 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 can be easier to maneuver through doors than side-byside models, but they typically have a gap between the seating options which could cause your kids to argue over who has the best seat. This issue was pretty evenly divided among our previous test subjects It really is a personal choice.

Safety

When you are choosing a stroller for your child Safety is the most important consideration. The design of an umbrella for a double stroller can determine its performance. Some models come close to offering the same level safety as larger double strollers. They typically come with 5-point harnesses as well as feet and calf rests designed for kids, as well as an extendable UPF 50+ sunvisor. They tend to be smaller and lighter compared to other double umbrella strollers. This makes them more maneuverable in tight spaces like airports or on city streets.

Some models, like the Kinderwagon Hop, are side-by-sides and are especially simple to maneuver through narrow spaces. This stroller is perfect for parents traveling with their children and who need a convenient and quick method of getting around. It's also small enough to fit in a trunk.

The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 is another model that is worth considering. It is one of the lightest double strollers we have tested. It has a very sturdy design for an umbrella and comes with large, easy-to-access storage basket, reclining seats and a peek-a-boo view. The seat also holds 35 pounds and is in line with Disney stroller size requirements.

Other models, such as the Jeep PowerGlide double stroller, are more minimalist in their design and may not come with as many features. However, these strollers are still extremely light and can be used as a backup or for occasional travel needs. They are also much cheaper than renting a stroller for an entire vacation or trip. They're easy to fold, lift, transport and store away.
