Lightweight
The top double umbrella strollers are small and lightweight, but still provide plenty of. They're not as heavy as a traditional jogger or stroller and tend to be smaller when folded. They lack the bells and whistles that you'll find on full-size strollers, but they often provide large canopies with ample storage space, and seating that reclines.
Many families choose a light double umbrella stroller as it's a great stroller for travel. It's easy to fold and can be tucked away in most trunks or carry-on bags for airplanes. It's an excellent option for narrow doorways and crowded streets. It's also less expensive than a "travel stroller" with more features you could use on a daily basis.
Some of the best double strollers, like the UPPAbaby G-Link 2 have features that you won't see on cheaper models. This double umbrella stroller has hanging storage pockets with tray for snacks and toys on each seat, as well as two cup holders for parents. The streamlined design makes this double umbrella stroller one of the most compact available. It also has an extra-wide canopy to protect both seats.
Other lightweight options, such as the Joovy Kooper X2, offer more bells and whistles than you'd expect from a double stroller umbrella, including more comfortable rides for both children due to padded seats as well as a more reclined seat. The more features you select, the heavier the stroller. Also, you should be sure that your child doesn't put their fingers on the frames or hinges of these strollers because of how they open and close.
Compact
When folded when folded, the smallest double umbrella strollers are easily maneuverable and fit into small spaces. These strollers are an excellent choice for parents who will frequent the sidewalks, shopping malls, or to travel to tourist attractions like the zoo and aquarium. These compact, lightweight strollers are also ideal for commuting, or as a backup stroller to a larger stroller with more features when traveling.
There are two general styles of umbrellas that are lightweight one of which is one with a limited number of features and those that offer numerous comfort and convenience features in addition to their compact size and light weight. Some of the most effective examples include nice-sized pop-out canopies with SPF 50, peekaboo windows with padding seats and 5-point safety harnesses for both seating areas, reclining seats, and adjustable leg rests. You should also think about whether you'd like an attachment for your car seat, a parent tray and the amount of storage space in each seat.
The Delta Children LX Double Umbrella provides a lightweight, 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 put in the trunk of your car or front hall closet. The front wheels are high-tech and can swivel to give you a smoother ride and easier steering. Another option to consider is the brand new Kinderwagon Hop, a super narrow tandem umbrella stroller that's also light and easy to maneuver through doorways. This model was out of production for a few years but is returning and worth checking out. It also has a three-panel canopy that offers better sun protection than smaller models.
Easy to Fold
The most basic umbrella strollers fold like umbrellas and weigh much less than other types of strollers. This makes them easy to carry, lift, and stow for use when you don't want or don't have a large stroller due to some reason (traveling on an airplane, touring an unfamiliar city, or visiting grandma). They typically have fewer features than a full-featured stroller, but they should offer the essential features you need, such as a sun canopy and storage.
The UPPAbaby G-Link 2's latest version is slimmer, lighter and has an improved wheel structure on the front, which improves its maneuverability and pushability. It's an excellent option for a double stroller, and it's approved by Disney!
A double tri-folded stroller like the Joovy Kooper X2 offers all the convenience and convenience of an umbrella stroller in the same form as a large-sized stroller. This kind of stroller is replacing the classic double umbrella stroller. It's probably the best choice if looking for a lightweight, multi-purpose stroller.
The majority of double umbrella strollers we recommend are side-by-side models. The exception is the Kinderwagon Hop, a tandem umbrella stroller that's light and easy to fold (though it's also a bit narrow). This is a great option if you want a simple, cheap double umbrella stroller you can easily toss into your trunk for quick trips. It even has two hanging storage bags on the backs of each seat as well as cup holders for parents. It's so basic, you might not be able to get your kids through an airport without making an oath. But it will make your journey more enjoyable.
Comfortable Seats
Most umbrella strollers aren't fitted with a lot of 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 recline options or all-terrain wheels.
The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 is the only exception. double buggy is a compact and lightweight double umbrella stroller that comes with two seats weighing only 18 lbs. This makes it a great option for families who travel. It comes with a large canopy with three panels that protect children from sun. Both seats offer a good amount of storage however, not as much as some of our top choices. It also has the crucial 5-point safety harnesses on both seats, as well as peek-a-boo windows in their canopy.
The G-Link lacks the bellybar and snack tray we'd love to see on our top picks. But these features aren't essential for an umbrella stroller. Like all umbrella strollers, it must be handled with caution to avoid getting your fingers trapped in the hinges and mechanisms.
The seats in a double umbrella stroller 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-by-side models, however they often have a disparity in seating options that could make your kids argue over who has the better seat. This issue was pretty evenly split between our previous test subjects, so it really comes down to the individual preference.
Safety
Your child's safety is a primary consideration when you choose a stroller and the design of double umbrella strollers can determine the quality of its operation. Although it's difficult to find a light double stroller that provides the same level of security as larger strollers, some models are close. These strollers usually have 5-point harnesses as well as foot and calf rests for children, and an extendable UPF 50+ sun visor. They tend to be smaller and lighter compared to other double umbrella strollers. This makes them easier to maneuver through tight spaces like airports or on city streets.
Some models, such as the Kinderwagon Hop, are side-by-sides and are particularly easy to push through small spaces. This stroller is perfect for parents who travel with their children and who need a convenient and quick method of getting around. It's also compact enough to fit in the trunk.
The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 is another model that is worth considering. It is among the lightest double strollers we have test-driven. It has a very robust design for an umbrella and has a large, accessible storage basket, reclining seats, and a peek-a-boo window. The seat also holds 35 lbs and is able to meet Disney stroller size requirements.
Other models, such as the Jeep PowerGlide double stroller, are more minimalist in their design and may not come with the same features. These strollers are lightweight and can be used as backups or for occasional travel. They are also less expensive than renting one for a full vacation or for a trip. They are also easy to fold, lift, carry and store away.
