The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 double umbrella stroller is a well-made, high-end product that folds down easily. It has large canopies and a large storage container. It is also very simple to move.

Lightweight

The best double umbrella strollers are small and light, yet provide plenty of. They aren't as heavy as a conventional stroller or jogger, and are typically smaller when folded, too. They don't have the bells or whistles that are found on larger strollers, however they often provide large canopies with plenty of storage space and reclined seats.

A lightweight double umbrella stroller is a popular option for families that travel together. It's easy to fold and fits into most trunks and airplane carry-on bags, and is the best option for navigating the narrow streets and narrow doors. It's also less expensive than more feature-rich "travel stroller" which you could use for your daily walks.

A few of the best double umbrella strollers, like the UPPAbaby G-Link 2, have certain features you won't see on the cheaper models. This double umbrella stroller has hanging storage pockets and trays on each seat for children's toys and snacks and two cup holders for parents. The streamlined design makes this double umbrella Stroller Double among the smallest double buggy 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 would expect from a double stroller umbrella, such as the ability to provide a more comfortable ride for both kids thanks to the padded seats and more reclined seat. The more features you choose, the heavier the stroller. You'll also want to ensure that your child doesn't put their fingers on the frames or hinges of these strollers because of the way they open and close.

Compact

The smallest double umbrella strollers, when folded are easy to maneuver and can be tucked away in tight spaces. They're a good choice for stroller double parents who plan to use their stroller frequently on sidewalks, in shopping centers, or to travel around tourist destinations like the zoo, aquarium or museums. These lightweight, compact strollers may also be ideal to commute in or as a substitute for an extra heavy, equipped stroller when traveling.

There are two general styles of lightweight double umbrella products: those with very few features and those that offer numerous comfort and convenience features, in addition to their small size and light weight. Some of the best examples include large pop-out umbrellas with SPF 50, peekaboo windows and padded seats. They also have 5-point safety harnesses on both sides, leg rests and reclining seats. Other important aspects to consider are whether or not you want a parent tray and car seat attachment capabilities and how much storage space each seat comes with.

The Delta Children LX Double Umbrella is a fantastic example of a simple minimal, simple option that is extremely lightweight and incredibly affordable. This stroller weighs only 18 lbs and includes a handy carrying strap to carry it around. It fits easily into the trunk of your car, or a front hall closet when not in use. Its front wheels have precision technology and swivel to provide an easy ride and smooth steering. The new Kinderwagon Hop is a tandem umbrella stroller with a super-narrow width that is also light and easy to maneuver through doors. The model was removed from the market for a few years however, it's back in production and worth a look. It also has a three-panel canopy that offers more sun protection than smaller models.

Easy to Fold

The simplest umbrella strollers fold like umbrellas, and they weigh less than other types. This makes them easy to carry, lift and store when you don't need or need to bring your larger stroller due to a reason (traveling on an airplane, traveling in a foreign city, visiting grandma). These strollers are typically not as feature-rich as full-featured models, but they will provide the basic features, such as storage and a sun canopy.

The latest version of the UPPAbaby G-Link 2 is lighter and narrower than the predecessor, with an improved front wheel structure that improves maneuverability and pushability. It's an excellent choice for a stroller to travel with that can accommodate two children. It's Disney approved!

A double tri-fold stroller like the Joovy Kooper X2, offers all the comfort of a stroller with an umbrella, but in a body that's similar in size to a full-size stroller. This type of stroller is fast replacing the traditional double umbrella, and may be your best choice when you're looking for a versatile lightweight stroller to travel with.

The majority of double umbrella strollers that we recommend are side-by-side models. The Kinderwagon Hop is an umbrella tandem stroller that is lightweight and easy to fold. It is also very small in width. This is a great option when you're looking for a basic budget double umbrella stroller you can easily put in your trunk for quick trips. It even comes with two hanging storage bags on the sides of each seat, as well as cup holders for the parents. It's so simple, it could not get your kids through the airport without noise. However, it will make the trip more enjoyable.

Comfortable Seats

Most umbrella strollers aren't fitted with a lot of bells and whistles because they only have one purpose: to take two children from A to B. This means they typically have seats that are spacious and comfortable, but don't have reclining options or all-terrain wheels.

The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 is the only exception. It is a compact and lightweight double umbrella stroller that has 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 to protect children from the sun. Both seats have a good amount of storage, but not like some of our top picks. It has five-point safety belts in both seats, as well as the ability to peek into the canopy.

The G-Link does not have the bellybar or snack tray we'd love to see on our top picks. But those features aren’t essential to an umbrella stroller. And, like any umbrella stroller, it needs to be used with care to ensure that fingers--whether your own or that of a child get trapped in the folding frame hinges and mechanisms.

In most compact double stroller double umbrella strollers they have seats that are side-by-side. However there are models that feature inline seating (one seat is in front of the other). Inline models are simpler to navigate through doorways than side by side models, but their seating arrangements can cause your children to argue over which is the best seat. This was pretty evenly split between our previous test participants and it comes down to a personal choice.

Safety

When choosing a stroller for your child safety is the most important consideration. The design of the double stroller umbrella can affect its performance. Although it's difficult to find a lightweight double stroller that offers the same level of security as the full-sized strollers, a few models are comparable. They typically come with 5-point harnesses, calf and feet rests for children, as well being able to extend UPF 50plus sunvisor. They are typically also narrower and lighter than other double umbrella strollers which makes them easier to maneuver in tight spaces such as airports or streets in cities.

Certain models, such as the Kinderwagon Hop are side-byside and are easy to push in tight spaces. This stroller is an excellent option for parents traveling with children and require a quick and convenient method of getting around. It is also compact enough to fit in a trunk.

The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 is another model that is worth considering. It is among the most lightweight double strollers we've examined. It features a surprisingly sturdy design for an umbrella-style stroller and features an ample, easily accessible storage basket, reclining seats, and a peek-a-boo window. The seat can also hold 35 lbs. and meets Disney stroller specifications.

Other models, such as the Jeep PowerGlide Double Stroller, may be more basic in appearance and may not come with as many features. However, these strollers are still very lightweight and can be utilized as a backup for travel purposes on occasion. They're also cheaper than renting the stroller for a whole trip or vacation. They're easy to fold, lift, carry and store away.
