Choosing a Double Umbrella Stroller

It's important to consider your family's priorities and needs when choosing a double stroller. This will allow you to narrow down your options and focus on the most important features.

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

Lightweight

The top double umbrella strollers provide a lot of functionality in a small, 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 that are found on larger strollers, however they usually come with large canopy and plenty of storage space and reclined seats.

Many families opt for a light double umbrella stroller because it's an ideal stroller for travel. It folds easily and fits into most trunks or carry-on bags for planes. It is also a good option for narrow doorways and crowded streets. It's also cheaper than a "travel stroller" with more features that you could use frequently.

Some of the top COSTWAY Double Seat Twin Tandem Pushchair Sale umbrella strollers, such as the UPPAbaby G-Link 2, have certain features you won't see on lighter models. This Hauck Atlantic Twin Double Buggy In Grey umbrella stroller features hanging storage pockets, tray for snacks and toys on each seat, as well as two cup holders for parents. The streamlined design makes this double umbrella stroller among the slimmest available. It also comes with an extra wide canopy to protect both seats.

Some other options that are light, like the Joovy Kooper X2, have more of the bells and whistles that you would expect from a double umbrella stroller, such as a more comfortable ride for both kids due to the padding of the seats and a deeper recline in each seat. It's important to keep in mind that the more features you pick, the more your stroller will weigh. It is also important to ensure that your child doesn't get their fingers on the frames or hinges of these strollers because of the way they open and close.

Compact

When folded, the most compact double umbrella strollers are easily maneuverable and be tucked away in tight spaces. They're an excellent option for parents who intend to take their stroller regularly on sidewalks, in shopping centers, or to visit tourist attractions such as the zoo, aquarium or museums. These lightweight, compact strollers are also great for commutes, or as a backup to a larger stroller that has more features while traveling.

There are two main types 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 lightweight weight. Some of the most effective 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 require a tray for your child, car seat attachment capability and how much storage space each seat has.

The Delta Children LX Double Umbrella provides a lightweight, low-cost umbrella that is affordable. This stroller is only 18 lbs, has an excellent carrying strap and can be easily stored in the trunk of your vehicle or in the front hall closet. Its front wheels have precision technology and swivel, providing a smooth ride and easier steering. Another highly recommended option is the brand new Kinderwagon Hop, a super narrow tandem umbrella stroller that's ultralight and easy to navigate through doorways. The model was removed from the market for a few years however, it's returning to production and is worth a look. It also comes with a larger three-panel canopy for improved sun protection than the less-than-perfect models in this review.

Easy to Fold

The most basic umbrella strollers fold like an umbrella and weigh less than other types of strollers. They are easy to lift, carry and store away, making them ideal for when you do not want to take your full-size stroller due to any reason (traveling via plane, traveling to in a new country, visiting grandma). They usually have fewer features than an all-inclusive stroller, but they should have the essential features you need like a sun canopy and storage.

The most recent version of the UPPAbaby G-Link 2 is lighter and narrower than its predecessor, and has a more efficient front wheel design that enhances mobility and pushability. It's an excellent choice for a travel stroller that can accommodate two children. And 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 kind of stroller is replacing the standard double umbrella stroller. It may be your best option if you are looking for a lightweight, flexible stroller.

Most 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 relatively small in width). This is a great choice for those looking for a simple budget double umbrella stroller that you can easily throw in your trunk for quick trips. It even has two storage bags hanging from the backs of each seat as well as cup holders for parents. It's so basic, you may not get your children through the airport without causing an oath. But it will make your journey more enjoyable.

Comfortable Seats

The majority of umbrella strollers don't come with many bells and whistles, because they only have one purpose: to take two children from one place to the other. That means they usually offer seats that are comfortable and roomy however they don't come with reclining options or all-terrain wheels.

The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 is the exception. It is a compact and lightweight double umbrella stroller that has two seats that weigh just 18 lbs. This makes it a great option for those who travel. It has a large canopy with three panels that protect children from sun. Both seats come with ample storage but not as much as our top picks. It has 5-point safety belts on both seats, and 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. But those features aren’t essential to an umbrella stroller. Like any umbrella stroller it must be handled with caution to avoid getting your fingers stuck in hinges and mechanisms.

In the majority of double umbrella strollers they have seats that are side-by-side. However there are models that have inline seating (one seat is in front of the other). Inline models are easier to maneuver through doors than side-by-side models, however they usually have a difference in seating options that could make your kids fight over who gets the best seat. Our previous testers were pretty equally divided on this issue and it's an individual decision.

Safety

When you are 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 light double stroller that provides the same level of security as the full-sized strollers, a few models are close. These strollers typically have 5-point harnesses as well as foot and calf rests for children, as well as an extendable, UPF 50+ sun visor. They tend to be smaller and lighter than other double umbrella strollers. This makes them more maneuverable in tight spaces such as airports or city streets.

Certain models, such as the Kinderwagon Hop are side-byside and are simple to push even in tiny spaces. This stroller is ideal for parents traveling with young kids and who need a convenient and fast way to get around. It's also small enough to easily fit into a trunk or storage space.

The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 is another model that is worth considering. It is among the lightest double strollers we have 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-aboo window. The seat can also hold 35 pounds and is in line with Disney stroller size requirements.

Other models, like the Jeep PowerGlide Double Stroller, might be simpler in appearance and may not come with as many features. However these strollers are extremely light and can be used as a backup or for occasional travel needs. These strollers are also less expensive than renting one for a whole vacation or trip. They are also easy to carry, lift and fold.
