Why Nobody Cares About Double Umbrella Stroller
Choosing a Double Umbrella Stroller
When shopping for a double umbrella stroller it is important to consider your family's needs and priorities. This will help you narrow down your options and concentrate on the most essential features.

Lightweight
The top double umbrella strollers can provide lots of features in a light, compact package. They're not as heavy as a standard stroller or jogger and they're generally smaller when folded, too. They don't have the bells and whistles that you'll find on full-size strollers, but they often provide large canopies and ample storage space, and seating that reclines.
Many families opt for a lightweight double umbrella stroller because it's a great travel stroller. It is easy to fold and fits into most carry-on bags or trunks for airplanes. It's also a great option for narrow entrances and busy streets. It's cheaper than a more feature-rich "travel stroller" that you might take for walks on a daily basis.
Some of the best double stroller s like the UPPAbaby G-Link 2 have features you won't find on lighter options. The double umbrella stroller comes with hanging storage pockets and trays on each seat for children's toys and snacks as well as two parent cupholders. The sleek design makes this double umbrella stroller among the most compact 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, including more comfortable rides for both children due to padded seats as well as a more reclined seat. The more features you select the more heavy the stroller. Also, because of the way these strollers can be closed and opened it is important to be careful not to let little fingers touch frames or hinges, especially when your child is in a seat or a chair.
Compact
The smallest double umbrella strollers when folded are easy to maneuver and fit well in tight spaces. They're an excellent option for parents who plan to take their stroller regularly on the sidewalks, in shopping malls, or to visit tourist attractions like the zoo, aquarium or museums. These compact, lightweight strollers are great to use for commutes or as a backup stroller to a larger stroller with more features while traveling.
There are two types of double umbrellas that are lightweight: those that have very little features and those that offer a variety of features and comfort options in addition to their compact size. Some of the best examples include large pop-out umbrellas that come with SPF 50, peekaboo windows and cushioned seats. They also have 5-point safety harnesses on both sides, as well as adjustable leg rests as well as reclined seats. It is also important to consider whether you'd like an attachment for your car seat as well as a tray for parents and the amount of storage space available in each seat.
The Delta Children LX Double Umbrella provides a lightweight, low-cost umbrella that is 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 closet when not in use. Its front wheels are precision technology and swivel to provide an easier ride and smoother steering. Another highly recommended option is the new Kinderwagon Hop, a super narrow tandem umbrella stroller that's also ultralight and easy to navigate through doorways. The model was out of the market for a while but is now back in production and is worth a look. It also has a larger three-panel canopy for improved sun protection than the smaller, basic models in this review.
Easy to Fold
The simplest umbrella strollers fold up like an umbrella, and they weigh less than other models. They are simple to carry, lift and store which makes them perfect for when you don't want to bring your full-size stroller due to any reason (traveling by plane, touring in a new country, visiting grandma). These strollers are usually less well-equipped than fully-featured models, but they will provide the basic features, such as storage and a sun canopy.
The UPPAbaby G-Link 2's latest version is lighter, narrower and has a more efficient wheel structure on the front, which improves its maneuverability and pushability. It's an excellent choice for a stroller to travel with that can hold two children. It's Disney approved!
A double tri-folded stroller, such as the Joovy Kooper X2 offers all the convenience and ease of use of an umbrella stroller within the same form as the size of a full-size stroller. This kind of stroller is quickly replacing the traditional double umbrella, and could be the best option if you need a versatile lightweight stroller for travel.
The majority of double umbrella strollers we recommend are side by side models. The Kinderwagon Hop is an umbrella tandem stroller that is super lightweight, easy to fold and quite narrow. This is a great option for those looking for a simple budget double umbrella stroller you can easily put in your trunk for short trips. It comes with two hanging storage bags at the back of each seat, and cup holders for the parents. It's so basic, you could not get your kids through the airport without causing a fuss. But it will make your trip more enjoyable.
Comfortable Seats
The majority of umbrella strollers don't come with a variety of bells and whistles because they're designed with one purpose: to get two children from A to B. This means they typically have seats that are comfortable and roomy, but don't have reclining options or all-terrain wheels.
The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 is the exception. It is a small and light double umbrella stroller that comes with two seats that weigh only 18 lbs. This makes it an ideal option for those who travel. It has a great suspension, a massive three-panel canopy that easily shields children from the sun and a decent amount of storage space in both seats, though not as many as our top choices. It also has the crucial 5-point safety harnesses that are in both seats, as well as peek-a-boo windows in their canopy.
One drawback of the G-Link is that it does not have the belly bar and snack tray we've come to see in our top picks, but they aren't necessary features for an umbrella stroller in the first place. Like any umbrella stroller, it must be handled with care so that fingers - whether your own or that of a child get stuck in the hinges of the frame that fold 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 in front of 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. Our previous testers were equally divided on this issue It's a personal decision.
Safety
When choosing a stroller for your child safety must be your top priority. The design of an umbrella for a double stroller can affect its performance. Although it's difficult to find a lightweight double stroller that provides the same level of safety as larger strollers, some models are close. These strollers typically have 5-point harnesses as well as feet and calf rests designed for children, as well with an extendable UPF 50plus sunvisor. They tend to be smaller and lighter compared to other double umbrella strollers. This makes them more maneuverable in tight spaces like airports and city streets.
Certain models, like the Kinderwagon Hop, are side-by-sides and are particularly easy to push through small spaces. This stroller is a great choice for parents who are traveling with their children and need a fast and convenient way to get around. It's also compact enough to easily fit into the trunk or in a storage space.
Another option worth considering is the UPPAbaby G-Link 2, which is among the most lightweight double umbrella strollers we have tested. It's a surprising sturdy design for an umbrella-style product. It also has an enormous storage basket that is easily accessible as well as reclining chairs and the window that peeks out. The seat can also hold 35 pounds. and is able to meet Disney stroller specifications.
Other models, like the Jeep PowerGlide double stroller, are more minimalist in their design and may not come with as many features. However, these strollers are still extremely light and can be used as a backup for travel purposes on occasion. They are also less expensive than renting one for a complete vacation or for a trip. They are easy to fold, lift, transport, and stow away.
