Lightweight

The best double umbrella strollers are compact and lightweight, but still offer a lot. They're not as heavy as a conventional jogger or stroller, and they're usually smaller when folded. Although they lack the whistles, bells and storage space of full-size strollers, they do have large canopy areas and reclining seats.

Many families opt for an umbrella stroller that is lightweight because it's a great stroller for traveling. It folds easily and can be tucked away in most carry-on bags or trunks for planes. It's also a good option for narrow doorways and crowded streets. It's also less expensive than a "travel stroller" with more features you might use regularly.

A few of the best double umbrella strollers, like the UPPAbaby G-Link 2, have some features you won't find on lighter models. The double umbrella stroller comes with hanging storage pockets and trays in each seat for children's snacks and toys as well as two parent cupholders. Its minimalist design makes it one of the smallest double umbrella strollers available on the market, when folded. It also has an extra-wide canopy to safeguard both seats.

Some other options that are light like the Joovy Kooper X2, have more of the bells and whistles you'd expect from a double umbrella stroller, including a more comfortable ride for both kids because of the padded seating and a higher recline for each seat. It's important to keep in mind that the more features you pick the more the stroller weighs. Also, because of the way that strollers open and close, you'll want to be cautious not to let your little fingers touch frames or hinges, particularly if your child is sitting in a seat or a chair.

Compact

The tiniest double umbrella strollers that fold are easy to maneuver and can be tucked away in tight spaces. These strollers are a great choice for parents who will use them frequently on sidewalks, shopping malls or to travel to tourist attractions like the zoo and aquarium. These compact strollers that are lightweight can also be great for commuting or as a substitute for an extra heavy, features-packed stroller while traveling.

There are two types of double umbrellas that are lightweight: those that have very few features and those with many features and comfort options in addition to their tiny size. Some of the most effective examples are large pop-out canopies with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows, padding seats and 5-point safety harnesses for both seat areas, reclining seats, and adjustable leg rests. You should also consider whether you'd like a car seat attachment, a parent tray and the amount of storage space that is available in each seat.

The Delta Children LX Double Umbrella is a great example of a simple minimal, simple option that is extremely light and very affordable. The stroller weighs only 18 pounds and comes with a handy 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 equipped with precision technology and swivel, providing a smooth ride and easier steering. The brand new Kinderwagon Hop is a tandem umbrella stroller that has a narrow width, which is also ultralight and easy for you to navigate through doors. The model was out of the market for a few years however, it's back in production and is worth a look. It also comes with a bigger three-panel canopy to provide better sun protection than the less-than-perfect models in this review.

Easy to Fold

The simplest umbrella strollers collapse like an umbrella and weigh much less than other kinds of strollers. This makes them easy to lift, carry and store when you don't want or need to bring your larger stroller due to a reason (traveling on an airplane, touring a foreign city, visiting grandma). They usually come with fewer features than a fully-featured stroller, however they should provide the essential features you need like storage and a sun canopy.

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 a great option for a double stroller, Pushchairsandprams.uk and it's Disney-approved!

A double tri-folded stroller such as the Joovy Kooper X2 offers all the convenience and convenience of an umbrella stroller in the same form as a full-size stroller. This type of stroller is replacing the classic double umbrella stroller. It could be your ideal choice if you're seeking a light, flexible stroller.

The majority of double umbrella strollers we recommend are side by side models. The Kinderwagon Hop is an umbrella tandem stroller that's lightweight and easy to fold. It is also relatively small in width. This is a great choice when you're looking for a basic budget double umbrella stroller that you can easily toss into your trunk for quick trips. It comes with two storage bins that hang from the bags at the back of each seat, and cup holders for parents. It's so bare bones, it might not help your children get through an airport without causing them to be cranky, but it will make the journey more comfortable.

Comfortable Seats

The majority of umbrella strollers don't come with many bells and whistles because they are intended to only get two kids from point A to point B. They typically come with 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 comes with two seats weighing only 18 lbs. This makes it an ideal option for those who travel. It has excellent suspension, a large three-panel canopy that is able to shield children from the sun and plenty of storage space in both seats, though not quite as much as our top picks. It also has the important 5-point safety harnesses on both seats, as well as 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 love to see in our top picks, but they aren't essential features for an umbrella stroller in the first place. Like all umbrella strollers, it must 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 that feature inline seating (one seat in front of the other). Inline models are more easy to maneuver through doors than side by side models, but their seating arrangements can cause your children to fight over which seat. This was pretty evenly divided among our previous test participants and it comes down to the individual preference.

Safety

The safety of your children should be a top priority when selecting a stroller and the design of double umbrella strollers can affect the quality of its operation. Although it's difficult to find a lightweight double stroller that offers the same level of safety as full-sized strollers, some models are close. These strollers usually have 5-point harnesses, calf and foot rests for children, as well as an extendable UPF 50+ sun visor. They are also usually narrower and lighter than other double umbrella strollers, making them easier to maneuver through tight spaces like airports or city streets.

Some models, such as the Kinderwagon Hop, are side-by-sides and are especially simple to maneuver through narrow spaces. This stroller is an excellent option for parents who are traveling with young children and need a fast and convenient way to get around. It's also compact enough to easily fit in the trunk or in a storage space.

Another model worth considering is the UPPAbaby G-Link 2, which is among the most lightweight double umbrella strollers we have tested. It is surprisingly sturdy design for an umbrella style product. It also comes with a large storage basket that is easily accessible, reclining chairs, and a peekaboo window. The seat is also able to hold 35 lbs and meets Disney stroller dimensions.

Other models, such as the Jeep PowerGlide Double Stroller, may be less basic in design and not have as many features. However they are 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.
