Choosing a Double Umbrella Stroller

It is crucial to think about your family's priorities and needs when you are shopping for a double stroller. This will simplify your choices and allow you to focus on the aspects that matter most.

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

Lightweight

The best double umbrella strollers are small and lightweight, but still provide plenty of. They're not as heavy as a traditional stroller or jogger, and they're usually smaller when folded. They don't have the whistles, bells and storage space that are found in full-size strollers; they do provide large canopy areas and reclined seats.

A lightweight double umbrella stroller is a popular option for families traveling. It is easy to fold and fits in most trunks or carry-on bags for airplanes. It's an excellent option for narrow doorways and busy streets. It's also less expensive than a more feature-rich "travel stroller" that you might use for everyday walks.

Some of the top double umbrella strollers, such as the UPPAbaby G-Link 2, have certain features that you can't find on the cheaper models. This double umbrella stroller includes hanging storage pockets and trays on each seat to store kids' toys and snacks, as well as two parent cupholders. The streamlined design makes this double umbrella stroller among the most compact available. It also comes with an extra-wide canopy to protect both seats.

Other lightweight options such as the Joovy Kooper X2, offer more bells and whistles than one would expect from a double stroller umbrella, such as more comfortable rides for both kids thanks to padded seats as well as a higher recline for each seat. It's important to note, though, that the more features you choose, the more your stroller weighs. Also, you should be sure that your child doesn't catch their fingers on the frames or hinges of these strollers because of the way they open and close.

Compact

When folded when folded, the smallest double umbrella strollers are easy to maneuver and fit into small spaces. These strollers are a great choice for parents who will often use them on sidewalks, shopping malls or to navigate tourist attractions like the zoo and aquarium. These compact, lightweight strollers can also be great to commute in or as a backup option to a heavier, more equipped stroller when traveling.

There are two kinds of double umbrellas that are lightweight with very few features, and those that come with a variety of options for comfort and convenience in addition to their compact size. Some of the better examples are large pop-out canopies with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows, padded seats with 5-point safety harnesses in both seats as well as 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 available in each seat.

The Delta Children LX double buggy that converts to single Umbrella offers a lightweight, low-frills umbrella that is extremely affordable. The stroller weighs just 18 lbs, has an excellent 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 to provide smooth riding and easy steering. The brand new Kinderwagon Hop is a tandem umbrella stroller with a narrow width that is also ultralight and easy to navigate through doors. This model was out of production for a few years however it's now back and is worth taking a look at. It also has a three-panel canopy that offers better sun protection than smaller models.

Easy to Fold

The simplest umbrella strollers fold like an umbrella, and they weigh less than other types. They are easy to lift, carry and store which makes them perfect for when you can't or aren't able to carry your full-size stroller for any reason (traveling by plane, touring in a foreign country, or visiting grandma). They typically aren't as well-equipped as an all-inclusive stroller, but they should offer the basic features you require like storage and a sun canopy.

The most recent version of the UPPAbaby G-Link 2 is lighter and narrower than the predecessor, and has a more efficient front wheel that increases maneuverability and pushability. It's a great option for a travel stroller that can hold two children. And it's Disney approved!

A double tri-fold stroller like the Joovy Kooper X2, offers all the features of a stroller that has an umbrella design, but is similar in size to a regular full-size stroller. This kind of stroller is replacing the classic double umbrella stroller. It may be your 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 extremely light and easy to fold (though it's also a bit narrow). This is a great choice if you want a simple inexpensive double umbrella stroller that you can easily toss into your trunk for short trips. It comes with two storage bags that hang on the backs of each seat and parent cupholders. It's so simple, it might not be able to get your kids through the airport without causing a fuss. However, it will make the trip more comfortable.

Comfortable Seats

Most umbrella strollers don't have much in the way of bells and whistles since they are intended to perform one task: take two children from point A to B. They typically have comfortable, spacious seats, but they don't have recline options or all terrain wheels.

The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 stands out. It is a small and light double umbrella stroller with two seats that weigh only 18 lbs. This makes it an ideal option for those who travel. It has a great suspension, a huge three-panel canopy that shields kids from the sun, and a decent amount of storage space in both seats, though not as many as our top picks. It also has the crucial 5-point safety harnesses in both seats, as well as peek-a-boo windows in their canopy.

The G-Link isn't equipped with the bellybar or snack tray that we'd like to see on our top choices. However, these features aren't essential for an umbrella stroller. Like all umbrella strollers, it must be handled with care to avoid fingers getting stuck in 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 are easier to maneuver 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 equally split among our previous testers, so it really comes down to a personal choice.

Safety

When selecting a stroller to your child Safety should be the top priority. The design of a double stroller umbrella can affect its performance. While it's hard to find a lightweight double stroller that offers the same level of safety as full-sized strollers, some models are comparable. These strollers usually have 5-point harnesses as well as foot and calf rests for children, and an extendable UPF 50+ sun visor. They are usually also smaller and lighter than other double umbrella strollers, making them easier to maneuver in tight spaces like airports or streets in cities.

Some models, like the Kinderwagon Hop are side-byside and are easy to push in tight spaces. This stroller is perfect for parents who are traveling with children and those who require a comfortable and quick method of getting around. It's also compact enough to fit comfortably into the trunk or in a storage space.

The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 is another model that is worth considering. It is one of the Lightest double stroller double strollers we have tested. It is surprisingly sturdy design for an umbrella-style product. It also features a large, easily accessible storage basket, reclining chairs, and the window that peeks out. The seat is able to hold 35 lbs. and meets Disney stroller specifications.

Other models, such as the Jeep PowerGlide Double Stroller, might be simpler in design and do not include as many features. These strollers are lightweight and can be used as backups or even for occasional travel. They're also less expensive than renting a stroller for an entire vacation or trip. They're also easy to fold, lift, transport and store away.
