Check Out: How Double Umbrella Stroller Is Taking Over And What You Can Do About It
Choosing a Double Umbrella Stroller

When shopping for a double umbrella stroller it is important to consider your family's requirements and priorities. This will help you narrow down your choices and allow you to focus on the essential features.

The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 double umbrella stroller is a high-quality, well-designed product that folds up easily. It comes with large umbrellas and large storage containers. It's also easy to maneuver.

Lightweight

The top double umbrella strollers provide a lot of functionality in a light, compact package. They aren't as heavy as a traditional stroller or jogger and are generally smaller when folded, too. While they don't have the bells, whistles, and storage space of larger strollers; they do provide large canopies and seating that reclines.

Many families opt for an umbrella stroller that is lightweight as it's a great stroller for traveling. It's easy to fold, fits into most trunks and airplane carry-on bags, and is an excellent choice for getting around tight doorways and crowded sidewalks. It's also less expensive than a "travel stroller" with more features that you could use frequently.

Some of the best double strollers like the UPPAbaby G-Link 2 have features that aren't found on lighter options. This double umbrella stroller features hanging storage pockets as well as snack and toys trays in each seat and two cupholders for parents. The sleek design makes this double umbrella stroller among the slimmest on the market. It also comes with an extra-wide canopy that protects 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 the ability to provide a more comfortable ride for both children thanks to the padded seats and more reclined seat. The more features you select the more weighty the stroller. Also, due to the way these strollers can be closed and opened, you'll want to be careful not to let little fingers catch on frames or hinges, particularly when your child is in either seat.

Compact

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 frequent the sidewalks, shopping malls, or to navigate tourist attractions like the zoo and aquarium. These compact, lightweight strollers may also be ideal for commutes or as a backup option to an extra heavy, feature-packed stroller when traveling.

There are two kinds of double umbrellas that are lightweight: those that have very few features and those with various features and comfort options in addition to their tiny size. Some of the best examples include large pop-out umbrellas, with SPF 50, peekaboo windows and padded seats. They also come with 5-point safety harnesses that are on both sides, as well as adjustable leg rests and reclining seats. You should also consider whether you'd like a car seat attachment as well as a tray for parents and the amount of storage space available in each seat.


The Delta Children LX Double Umbrella is a great example of a basic minimal, simple option that is extremely lightweight and affordable. This stroller weighs only 18 lbs and includes an easy-to-carry strap to carry it around. It fits easily in the trunk of your car or in a front hall closet when it is not in use. The front wheels feature precision technology and swivel, ensuring an easy ride and smooth steering. Another highly recommended option is the new Kinderwagon Hop, a super narrow tandem umbrella stroller that's ultralight and easy to navigate through the doorways. The model was out of production for a couple of decades but is now back and worth checking out. It also comes with a larger three-panel canopy that offers better sun protection than the smaller, basic models in this review.

Easy to Fold

The simplest umbrella strollers fold down like umbrellas and weigh less than other types. This makes them easy to lift, carry and store when you don't want or can't bring your full-size stroller for some reason (traveling on an airplane, traveling in the city of your choice, or visiting grandma). They typically have fewer features than a fully-featured stroller, however they should have the essential features you need for storage and a sun canopy.

The UPPAbaby G-Link 2's latest version is lighter, narrower and has an improved wheel structure on the front that improves its maneuverability and pushability. It's a great option for a stroller that can fit two kids. It's also Disney approved!

A double tri-fold stroller like the Joovy Kooper X2, offers all the features of a stroller with an umbrella, but with a body comparable in size to a regular full-size stroller. This type of stroller is rapidly replacing the classic double umbrella, and may be your best choice for a flexible lightweight stroller to travel with.

Most of the double umbrella strollers that 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 quite narrow. If you're looking for a cheap, simple, no-frills double umbrella stroller that you can put in your trunk or back pack for short trips, we recommend this one. It even has two storage bags hanging from the backs of each seat as well as cup holders for the parents. It's so bare bones that it's not going to get your kids through an airport without getting them cranky, but it will make the journey more comfortable.

Comfortable Seats

The majority of umbrella strollers don't come with much in the way of bells and whistles because they're made to perform one task: take two children from point A to B. They typically come with comfortable, spacious seats, but no recline options or all terrain wheels.

The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 is the exception. It's an incredibly lightweight and compact double umbrella stroller with two seats that weigh less than 18 lbs each, making it an ideal choice for those who travel (it is in line with Disney size requirements). It has a huge canopy with three panels to protect children from the sun. Both seats have ample storage, but not like some of our top picks. It comes with five-point safety belts in both seats, as well as peek-a-boo window in the canopy.

The only downside to the G-Link is that it doesn't have the belly bar and snack tray we've come to see in our top picks, but they aren't essential features for an umbrella stroller in the first place. Like all umbrella strollers, the G-Link must be handled with care to avoid fingers getting caught in the hinges and mechanisms.

In double travel stroller of double umbrella strollers with seats, they are side-byside. However there are models that have inline seating (one seat that is placed in front of the other). Inline models can be easier to maneuver in doorways than side-by-side models, but they typically have a gap between seating features that can cause your children to fight over who gets the best seat. Our previous testers were pretty evenly split on this issue It's an individual decision.

Safety

Your child's safety must be the top consideration when choosing a stroller, and the design of a double umbrella stroller can determine this aspect of its performance. While it's hard to find a lightweight double stroller that provides the same level of safety as the full-sized strollers, a few models are close. They typically come with 5-point harnesses as well as foot and calf rests for children, as well as an extendable, UPF 50+ sun visor. They are usually narrower and lighter compared to other double umbrella strollers. This makes them more maneuverable in tight spaces like airports or on city streets.

Some models, like the Kinderwagon Hop are side-byside and are simple to push even in tiny spaces. This stroller is perfect for parents who are traveling with their children and who need a convenient and fast way to get around. It's also compact enough to fit comfortably in the trunk or in a storage space.

Another model worth considering is the UPPAbaby G-Link 2, which is one of the most lightweight double umbrella strollers we have tested. 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 view. The seat is able to hold 35 lbs. and is able to meet Disney stroller requirements.

Other models, such as the Jeep PowerGlide Double Stroller, might be simpler in design and do not include as many features. They are light and can be used for backups or occasional travel. They're also cheaper than renting a stroller for the duration of a vacation or for a trip. They are also easy to lift, carry and fold.
