The top double umbrella strollers provide many functions in a compact, light package. They aren't as heavy as a traditional stroller or jogger, and are generally smaller when folded, too. They don't have the bells or whistles you'll find on larger strollers, however they typically come with large canopy with plenty of storage space, and reclining seats.

Many families opt for a lightweight double umbrella stroller because it's an ideal travel stroller. It folds easily and fits into most carry-on bags or trunks for airplanes. It's also a great alternative for narrow doors and busy streets. It's also cheaper than the "travel stroller" with more features you could use on a daily basis.

A few of the best double umbrella strollers, such as the UPPAbaby G-Link 2, have certain features that you can't find on the cheaper models. The double umbrella stroller comes with hanging storage pockets, tray for snacks and toys on each seat, as well as two cupholders for parents. Its minimalist design makes it one of the smallest double umbrella strollers available on the market. It folds easily and has an extra-wide canopy that protects 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. It also offers a more comfy ride for both kids thanks to padded seats and a deeper recline on each seat. It's important to remember, though, that the more features you pick the more the stroller weighs. Also, due to the way strollers open and close you'll need to be cautious not to let little fingers touch frames or hinges, especially when your child is in a seat or a chair.

Compact

The tiniest double pushchair from birth umbrella strollers, when folded are easy to maneuver and fit 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 visit tourist attractions like the aquarium, zoo or museums. These lightweight, compact strollers may also be ideal for commutes or as a backup option to an extra heavy, features-packed stroller while traveling.

There are two types of double umbrellas that are lightweight that have a few features and those that include numerous comfort and convenience features in addition to their compact size and lightweight weight. Some of the best examples are large pop-out umbrellas, with SPF 50, windows that peek out and cushioned seats. They also have 5-point safety harnesses on both sides, as well as adjustable leg rests, and reclined seats. Other key factors to consider are whether or not you want a parent tray and car seat attachment capabilities and the amount of storage space each seat comes with.

The Delta Children LX Double Umbrella is a fantastic example of a simple, no-frills option that is extremely light and very affordable. The stroller weighs only 18 lbs, has an easy-to-carry strap and can be easily stored in the trunk of your car or front hall closet. The front wheels are made of precision technology and swivel to provide more comfort and ease of steering. The new Kinderwagon Hop is a tandem umbrella stroller with a super-narrow width, which is also ultralight and easy for you to navigate through doors. The model was out of production for a few years, but it is now back and worth checking out. It also has a three-panel canopy that offers more sun protection than smaller models.

Easy to Fold

The most basic umbrella strollers fold up like umbrellas, and they weigh less than other types. They are easy to lift, carry, and stow for use when you don't want or need to bring your large stroller due to some reason (traveling on an airplane, traveling in a foreign city, visiting grandma). They usually come with fewer features than a full-featured stroller, but they should provide the essential features you need for storage and a sun canopy.

The most recent version of the UPPAbaby G-Link 2 is lighter and narrower than the predecessor, and has an improved front wheel structure that improves mobility and pushability. It's a great option for a double stroller. And it's Disney-approved!

A double tri-fold stroller like the Joovy Kooper X2, offers all the features of a stroller with an umbrella, but in a body that's comparable in size to a regular full-size stroller. This type of stroller is rapidly replacing the standard double stroller sale umbrella model, and it might be the best choice if you need a versatile lightweight stroller to travel with.

The majority of double umbrella strollers we recommend are side by side models. The Kinderwagon Hop is an umbrella tandem stroller that is super light, easy to fold and quite small in width. If you're looking for a low-cost, simple, no-frills double umbrella stroller that you can put in your trunk or back pack for quick 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 bare bones that it's not going to get your kids through the airport without causing them to be cranky, but it can make the journey more enjoyable.

Comfortable Seats

Most umbrella strollers aren't equipped with many bells and whistles since they're designed with one purpose: to take two children from A to B. This means they typically have seats that are comfortable and roomy, but don't have reclining options or wheels that are all-terrain.

The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 stands out. It is a compact and lightweight double umbrella stroller that comes with two seats that weigh only 18 lbs. This makes it a great choice for travelers. It has a great suspension, a huge three-panel canopy that is able to shield children from the sun and a decent amount of storage space in both seats, but not quite as much as our top choices. It has 5-point safety belts in both seats, as well as a peek-a-boo window in the canopy.

The G-Link isn't equipped with the bellybar or snack tray that we'd like to see on our top picks. However, these features aren't essential for an umbrella stroller. Like all umbrella strollers, the G-Link should be handled with care to avoid fingers getting trapped in the hinges and mechanisms.

In the majority of double umbrella strollers with seats, they are side-byside. However, there are models with inline seating (one seat is in front of the other). Inline models can be easier to maneuver through doors than side-by-side models, but they usually have a difference between seating features which could cause your kids to argue over who has the better seat. This issue was pretty evenly divided among our previous testers and it is a personal choice.

Safety

When selecting a stroller to your child Safety must be your top priority. The design of the double stroller umbrella can affect its performance. While it's hard to find a light double stroller that offers the same level of security as full-sized strollers, some models are comparable. These strollers typically have 5-point harnesses as well as feet and calf rests for children, aswell being able to extend UPF 50+ sunvisor. They are usually also smaller and lighter than other double umbrella strollers making them easier to maneuver through tight spaces like airports or city streets.

Certain models, like the Kinderwagon Hop, are side-by-sides and are especially easy to maneuver through tight spaces. This stroller is a great option for parents who are traveling with young children and require a quick and convenient method of getting around. It's also compact enough to fit easily in the trunk or in a storage space.

The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 is another model that is worth a look. It is among the lightest double stroller; my review here, double strollers we have examined. It has a very robust design for an umbrella and features an ample, easily accessible storage basket, reclining seats, and a peek-a-boo window. The seat also holds 35 pounds and is in line with Disney stroller dimensions.

Other models, like the Jeep PowerGlide double stroller, are more basic in appearance and may not offer the same features. However, these strollers are still extremely light and can be used as a backup for occasional travel purposes. They're also less expensive than renting a stroller for the duration of a trip or vacation. They are also easy to fold, lift, carry and store away.
