Lightweight

The top double umbrella strollers are compact and lightweight, yet provide plenty. They're not as heavy as a conventional stroller or jogger and tend to be smaller when folded. They don't have the bells or whistles that you'll find on full-size strollers, but they usually come with large canopy with plenty of storage space, and reclined seats.

Many families opt for a light double umbrella stroller because it's a great stroller for traveling.

It's also less expensive than an extra-featured "travel stroller" that you might use for your daily walks.

Some of the top double umbrella strollers, like the UPPAbaby G-Link 2, have some features you won't find on the lighter options.

The sleek design makes this double umbrella stroller one of the slimmest available. It also comes with an extra-wide canopy to protect both seats.

Other lightweight options like 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 children thanks to padded seats as well as a more reclined seat. The more features you select the more weighty the stroller. Also, because of the way that strollers are able to open and close it is important to be careful not to let little fingers get caught on frames or hinges, particularly if your child is sitting in a seat or a chair.

Compact

The smallest double umbrella strollers that fold are easy to maneuver and fit well in tight spaces. They're a good choice for parents who plan to use their stroller often on the sidewalks, in shopping malls or to visit tourist attractions like the aquarium, zoo or museums. These lightweight strollers are compact and compact. are also great for commutes, or as a backup stroller to a larger stroller that has more features when traveling.

There are two kinds of double umbrellas that are lightweight: those that have very few features and those with a variety of options for comfort and convenience in addition to their small size. Some of the best examples include large pop-out umbrellas with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows with padding seats, 5-point safety harnesses in both seat areas as well as reclining seats and adjustable leg rests. You should also think about whether you would like a car seat attachment, a parent tray and the amount of storage space that is available in each seat.

The Delta Children LX Double Umbrella offers a lightweight, low-frills umbrella that is extremely affordable. This stroller is only 18 pounds, comes with an easy-to-carry strap, and can be easily put in the trunk of your car or in the front hall closet. The front wheels feature precision technology and swivel, providing a smooth ride and easier steering. The new Kinderwagon Hop is a tandem umbrella stroller with a narrow width that is also ultralight and easy to maneuver through doorways. The model was removed from the market for a couple of years however, it's returning to production and is worth a look. It also comes with a bigger three-panel canopy for improved sun protection than the less-than-perfect models in this review.

Easy to Fold

The simplest umbrella strollers collapse like an umbrella and weigh a lot less than other kinds of strollers. This makes them easy to carry, lift and store when you don't need or need to bring your full-size stroller for some reason (traveling on an airplane, traveling in an unfamiliar city, or visiting grandma). They usually come with fewer features than a fully-featured stroller, however they should offer the basic features you require like a sun canopy and storage.

The UPPAbaby G-Link 2's latest version is smaller, lighter and has a more efficient wheel structure on the front, which improves its maneuverability and pushability. It's an excellent choice for a stroller that can accommodate two children. It's Disney approved!

A double tri-fold stroller like the Joovy Kooper X2, offers all the convenience of an umbrella-style stroller but is comparable in size to a full-size stroller. This kind of stroller is rapidly replacing the classic double umbrella model, and it might be the best choice when you're looking for a versatile stroller that is lightweight and easy to carry around.

Most double umbrella strollers we recommend are side-by-side models. The exception is the Kinderwagon Hop, a tandem umbrella stroller that's super lightweight and easy to fold (though it's also quite narrow). This is a great option if you want a simple, cheap double umbrella stroller you can easily toss into your trunk for quick trips. It comes with two storage bins that hang from the bags on the back of each seat, as well as cup holders for parents. It's so basic, you could not get your kids through an airport without making an oath. However, it can make the trip more comfortable.

Comfortable Seats

Most umbrella strollers don't feature any bells and whistles because they're designed to do one thing: get two kids from point A to point B. They usually come with comfortable, spacious seats but no reclining options or all terrain wheels.

The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 stands out. It's a light and compact double umbrella stroller with two seats that weigh just 18 pounds each, making it a great option for travelers (it meets Disney size requirements). It has excellent suspension, a massive three-panel canopy that shields children from the sun and plenty of storage space in both seats, but not as many as our top selections. It also has the important 5-point safety harnesses in both seats, as well as peek-a-boo windows in their canopy.

A downside of the G-Link is that it lacks the belly bar and snack tray that we like to see in our top picks, however they aren't essential features for an umbrella stroller, anyway. Like any umbrella stroller, it must be used with care to ensure that fingers--whether your own or that of a child get trapped in the hinges that fold up the frame and mechanisms.

In most double umbrella strollers with seats, they are side-byside. However there are models that have inline seating (one seat is in front of the other). Inline models are simpler to navigate through doorways than side by side models however their seating arrangements can cause your children to argue over which is the best seat. Our previous test subjects were equally divided on this issue, so it's really an individual decision.

Safety

When you are choosing a stroller for your child Safety is the most important consideration. The design of a double stroller umbrella can make or break its performance. While it's hard to find a light double stroller that provides the same level of safety as larger strollers, some models are comparable. These strollers typically have 5-point harnesses, calf and foot rests for children, as well as an extendable UPF 50+ sun visor.  double pram pushchair  are typically also narrower and lighter than other double umbrella strollers which makes them easier to maneuver through tight spaces like airports or city streets.

Some models, like the Kinderwagon Hop are side-byside and are simple to push even in tiny spaces. This stroller is an excellent choice for parents who are traveling with their children and require a quick and convenient method of getting around. It's also compact enough to easily fit into the trunk or in a storage space.

Another model worth considering is the UPPAbaby G-Link 2, which is among the lightest double umbrella strollers we test. It is surprisingly sturdy design for an umbrella-style product. It also features an enormous, easily accessible storage basket with reclining seats, as well as an open window. The seat also holds 35 lbs and is able to meet Disney stroller size requirements.

Other models, such as the Jeep PowerGlide Double Stroller, may be more basic in design and not have as many features. These strollers are lightweight and can be used for backups or even for occasional travel. They are also less expensive than renting one for a complete vacation or trip. They are also easy to lift, carry and fold.
