This will help streamline your options and let you concentrate on the features that matter most. The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 double umbrella stroller is a high-quality, well-designed product that folds down compactly. It has large canopies, a large storage bin, and is easy to maneuver. Lightweight The top double umbrella strollers can provide lots of features in a light, compact package. They're not as heavy as a typical jogger or stroller, and they're usually smaller when folded. They don't have the bells, whistles, and storage space of larger strollers; they do provide large canopy and reclining seats. Many families opt for a lightweight double umbrella stroller because it's an ideal stroller for traveling. It's easy to fold, can be tucked away in most trunks and airplane carry-on bags, and is a good choice for navigating the narrow streets and narrow doors. It's also cheaper than the “travel stroller” with more features that can be used frequently. Some of the top double umbrella strollers, like the UPPAbaby G-Link 2, have certain features you won't see on the cheaper models. This double umbrella stroller features hanging storage pockets, trays for toys and snacks in each seat and two cup holders for parents. The streamlined design makes this double umbrella stroller among the slimmest on the market. It also comes with 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 you would expect from a double stroller umbrella, such as a more comfy ride for both kids thanks to the padded seats and deeper recline on each seat. The more features you select the more heavy the stroller. Also, because of the way strollers open and close you'll need to be careful not to let your little fingers catch on frames or hinges, particularly when your child is in a seat. Compact The smallest double umbrella strollers that fold are easy to maneuver and fit in tight spaces. These strollers are an excellent option for parents who often use them on sidewalks, shopping malls, or to get around tourist destinations such as the zoo or aquarium. These compact strollers that are lightweight are also ideal for commutes or as a substitute for the heavier, more features-packed stroller while traveling. There are two kinds of umbrellas that are lightweight one of which is one with little features and those that offer a variety of features and comfort options in addition to their small size. Some of the most effective examples include large pop-out umbrellas, with SPF 50, peekaboo windows and seating cushions. They also come with 5-point safety harnesses on both sides, adjustable leg rests, and reclining seats. Other crucial aspects to take into consideration are whether or not you need a tray for parents or car seat attachment and the amount of storage space each seat has. The Delta Children LX Double Umbrella is a light, low-cost umbrella that is very affordable. This stroller is only 18 lbs and comes with an excellent carrying strap, and can be easily stored in the trunk of your car or front hall closet. The front wheels are high-tech and can swivel to give you more comfort and ease of steering. The brand new Kinderwagon Hop is a tandem umbrella stroller with a super-narrow width that is also ultralight and easy for you to navigate through doorways. This model was out production for a few decades but is returning and worth taking a look at. It also has a larger three-panel canopy that offers better sun protection over 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 simple to carry, lift and stow and are ideal when you can't or do not want to take your full-size stroller due to any reason (traveling on a plane, exploring a foreign country, visiting grandma). They often come with fewer features than a full-featured stroller, but they should have the essential features you need like a sun canopy and storage. The most recent version of the UPPAbaby G-Link 2 is lighter and narrower than the predecessor, and has an improved front wheel that increases mobility and pushability. It's a great choice for a travel stroller that can accommodate two children. It's Disney approved! 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 large-sized stroller. This kind of stroller is replacing the standard double umbrella stroller. It's probably the best choice if seeking a light, flexible stroller. Most double umbrella strollers that we recommend are side-by-side models. The Kinderwagon Hop is an umbrella tandem stroller that is super light, easy to fold and very small in width. If you're looking to buy a cheap simple, minimalist, no-frills umbrella stroller that you can put in your trunk or back pack for quick trips, we highly recommend this model. It even has two storage bags that hang on the backs of each seat and parent cupholders. It's so basic, it might not help your children get through an airport without making them cranky—but it can to make the trip more comfortable. Comfortable Seats Most umbrella strollers aren't fitted with a lot of bells and whistles because they're designed with one goal: to transport two children from A to B. That means they usually offer seats that are spacious and comfortable however they don't come with reclining options or wheels that are all-terrain. The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 stands out. It is a small and light double umbrella stroller that has two seats that weigh only 18 pounds. This makes it a fantastic choice for travelers. It has a large canopy with three panels that protect children from sun. Both seats have plenty of storage however, not as much as some of our top choices. It also has the important 5-point safety harnesses in both seats, as well as peek-a-boo windows in their canopy. The G-Link lacks the bellybar and snack tray we'd love see on our top picks. However, these features aren't essential for an umbrella stroller. Like any umbrella stroller, it needs to be handled with care so fingers, whether your own or a child's—don't get trapped in the hinges that fold up the frame and mechanisms. In most double umbrella strollers, the seats are side-by-side. However there are small double stroller that feature inline seating (one seat is in front of the other). Inline models are easier to maneuver through doors than side by side models however their seating arrangements can cause your children to argue over which is the best seat. Our previous testers were pretty evenly divided on this matter and it's a personal decision. Safety When selecting a stroller to your child, safety is the most important consideration. The design of the double stroller umbrella can affect its performance. While it's hard to find a light double stroller that provides the same level of security as the full-sized strollers, a few models do come close.

They tend to be smaller and lighter compared to other double umbrella strollers. This makes them easier to maneuver in tight spaces like airports or on city streets. Certain models, such as the Kinderwagon Hop are side-byside and are easy to push in tight spaces. This stroller is ideal for parents who travel with young kids and who need a convenient and fast way to get around. It's also small enough to fit comfortably in the trunk or in a storage space. The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 is another model that is worth a look. It is one of the most light double strollers that we have examined. It is surprisingly sturdy design for an umbrella product. It also has a large storage basket that is easily accessible as well as reclining chairs and an open window. The seat is able to hold 35 pounds. and is in line with Disney stroller requirements. Other models, like the Jeep PowerGlide Double Stroller, might be simpler in design and not have as many features. They are light and can be used as backups or for occasional travel. They're also less expensive than renting the stroller for a whole vacation or trip. They are easy to fold, lift, transport and store away.
