Choosing a Double Umbrella Stroller

When looking for a double umbrella stroller, it's important to evaluate your family's needs and priorities. This will help you narrow your choices and concentrate on the most important features.

UPPAbaby G-Link 2 is an excellent double umbrella stroller that's manufactured well and folds compactly. It has large canopies and an enormous storage container. It's also easy to move.

Lightweight

The top double umbrella strollers can provide a lot of functionality in a light, compact package. They're not as heavy as a typical jogger or stroller and are usually smaller when folded. They don't have the bells or whistles that you'll find on large strollers, but they often provide large canopies, ample storage space, and reclining seats.

A lightweight double umbrella stroller is a favorite choice for families that travel together. It folds easily, fits into the majority of trunks and airline carry-on bags, and is generally the best option for navigating tight doorways and crowded sidewalks. It's also less expensive than a "travel stroller" with more features that you could use on a daily basis.

Some of the best double strollers, such as the UPPAbaby G-Link 2 have features you won't find on the lighter models. This double umbrella stroller has hanging storage pockets with trays for toys and snacks in each seat and two cupholders for parents. Its sleek design makes it one of the slimmest double umbrella strollers on the market. It folds easily and has an extra-wide canopy that protects both seats.

A few other lightweight options like the Joovy Kooper X2, have more bells and whistles that you would expect from a double infant strollers umbrella stroller, including a more comfortable ride for both children because of the padded seating and a deeper recline in 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 little fingers get caught on frames or hinges, particularly if your child is sitting in either seat.

Compact

The tiniest double umbrella strollers that fold are easy to maneuver and fit well in tight spaces. These strollers are a great option for parents who often use them on sidewalks, shopping malls, or to get around tourist destinations like the zoo or aquarium. These compact strollers that are lightweight are also ideal for commuting or as a backup 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 provide a number of comfort and convenience features, in addition to their compact size and light weight. Some of the most effective examples are large pop-out umbrellas with SPF 50, windows that peek out and cushioned seats. They also come with 5-point safety harnesses that are 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 minimalist stroller that is extremely lightweight and incredibly affordable. The stroller weighs only 18 lbs and comes with a handy carrying strap and can be stored in the trunk of your car or front hall closet. The front wheels are equipped with precision technology and swivel, ensuring smooth riding and easy steering. Another option to consider is the 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 however it's 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 simplest umbrella strollers fold like an umbrella and weigh less than other kinds of strollers. They are easy to lift, carry and store away and are ideal those times when you don't want to bring your full-size stroller for any reason (traveling by plane, touring a foreign country, visiting grandma). These strollers are usually not as feature-rich as full-featured models, but they should offer the essentials, such as storage and a sun canopy.

The most recent version of the UPPAbaby G-Link 2 is lighter and narrower than its predecessor, and has a more efficient front wheel that increases mobility and pushability. It's a great choice for a double stroller, and it's approved by Disney!

A double tri-fold stroller like the Joovy Kooper X2, offers all the features of a stroller that has an umbrella design, but is comparable in size to a regular full-size stroller. This type of stroller is replacing the classic double umbrella stroller. It's probably the ideal choice if you're looking for a lightweight, multi-purpose stroller.

Most of the double umbrella strollers we recommend are side-by-side models. The exception is the Kinderwagon Hop, a tandem umbrella stroller that's lightweight and easy to fold (though it's also a bit narrow). This is a great choice if you want a simple, cheap double umbrella stroller that you can easily toss into your trunk for quick trips. It comes with two hanging storage bags on the sides of each seat, as well as cup holders for the parents. It's so basic that it's unlikely to get your kids through the airport without getting them cranky, but it will help make the 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 have comfortable, spacious seats but no reclining options or all-terrain wheels.

The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 stands out. It is a compact and lightweight double umbrella stroller that has two seats that weigh just 18 lbs. This makes it an ideal option for families who travel. It has a huge canopy with three panels that protect children from sun. Both seats come with a good amount of storage but not as much as some of our top picks. It also has the important 5-point safety harnesses that are in both seats and peek-a-boo windows in their canopies.

A downside of the G-Link is that it does not have the belly bar and snack tray that we like to see in our top picks, but those aren't necessary features for an umbrella stroller, anyway. As with any umbrella stroller, it should be used with care to ensure fingers, whether your own or children's get caught in the hinges of the frame that fold and mechanisms.

In most double umbrella strollers with seats, they are side-byside. However there are models that have inline seating (one seat in front of the other). Inline models are more easy to maneuver through doorways than models with side by sides, but their seating arrangements could cause your kids to argue over which is the best seat. This issue was pretty evenly divided among our previous testers It really boils down to a personal choice.

Safety

The safety of your children should be a top priority when you choose a stroller and the design of a double Seat Stroller umbrella stroller can make or break the quality of its operation. Some models come close to providing the same level of security as larger double strollers. These strollers usually have 5-point harnesses and feet and calf rests for kids, as well with an extendable UPF 50+ sunvisor. They tend to be smaller and lighter than other double pram stroller 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 easy to maneuver through tight spaces. This stroller is perfect for parents who travel with young kids and needing a simple and quick way to get around. It's also compact enough to easily fit in the trunk or in a storage space.

Another option worth considering is the UPPAbaby G-Link 2, which is among the most lightweight double umbrella strollers we've tested. It is surprisingly sturdy design for an umbrella style product. It also has a large, easily accessible storage basket as well as reclining chairs and the window that peeks out. The seat can also hold 35 lbs and meets Disney stroller size requirements.

Other models, such as the Jeep PowerGlide Double Stroller, might be simpler in appearance and may not come with as many features. They are light and can be used as backups or occasional travel. These strollers are also cheaper than renting one for a complete vacation or for a trip. They are easy to fold, lift, transport, and stow away.
