The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 is an excellent double umbrella stroller that's manufactured well and folds compactly. It has large canopies and a large storage container. It is also very easy to move.

Lightweight

The top double umbrella strollers offer a lot of functionality in a light, compact package. They're not as heavy as a standard stroller or jogger and they're generally smaller when folded, too. Although they lack the whistles, bells and storage space of larger strollers, they do have large canopy and seating that reclines.

Many families choose an umbrella stroller that is lightweight as it's a great stroller for travel. It's easy to fold, fits in the majority of trunks and airline carry-on bags, and is generally the best option for navigating tight doorways and crowded sidewalks. It's also less expensive than more feature-rich "travel stroller" that you might use for your daily walks.

Some of the top double strollers, like the UPPAbaby G-Link 2 have features that you won't see on cheaper models. This double umbrella stroller includes hanging storage pockets and trays in each seat for kids' toys and snacks and two cup holders for parents. The streamlined design makes this double umbrella stroller among the slimmest available. It also has an extra-wide canopy that protects both seats.

A few other lightweight options like the Joovy Kooper X2, have more of the bells and whistles you might expect from a double umbrella stroller, including a more comfortable ride for both kids because of the padded seating and a higher recline for each seat. It's important to note that the more features you select, the more the stroller weighs. Also, because of the way strollers are able to open and close, you'll want to be cautious not to let your little fingers get caught on frames or hinges, particularly if your child is sitting in a seat or a chair.

Compact

When folded, the small double umbrella strollers are easily maneuverable and fit into tight spaces. These strollers are an excellent choice for parents who will often use them on sidewalks, shopping malls, or to navigate tourist attractions like the zoo and aquarium. These lightweight strollers are compact and compact. are great for commutes, or as a backup stroller to a heavier stroller with more features when traveling.

There are two types of umbrellas that are lightweight with very few features and those with many features and comfort options in addition to their small size. Some of the better examples include nice-sized pop-out canopies with SPF 50 and a peekaboo windows and padding seats and 5-point safety harnesses for both seat areas as well as reclining seats and adjustable leg rests. Other crucial aspects to take into consideration are whether or not you need a parent tray, car seat attachment capability and how much storage space each seat offers.

The Delta Children LX Double Umbrella offers a lightweight, low-frills umbrella that is very affordable. The stroller weighs only 18 pounds and comes if you're searching for a light and 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 super lightweight and easy to fold (though it's also a bit small in width). This is a great option if you want a simple inexpensive double umbrella stroller that you can easily toss into 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, it might not allow your kids to get through the airport without getting them cranky, but it will help make the journey more comfortable.

Comfortable Seats

The majority of umbrella strollers don't come with any bells and whistles since they're designed to do one thing: take two children from point A to B. That means they usually offer seats that are comfortable and roomy however they don't come with reclining options or wheels that are all-terrain.

The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 is the only exception. It's a surprisingly light and compact double pushchairs umbrella stroller that has two seats that weigh less than 18 lbs each, making it a fantastic choice for anyone who travels (it meets Disney size requirements). It has a great suspension, a huge three-panel canopy that shields kids from the sun, and plenty of storage space in both seats, though not as much as our top selections. It also comes with the essential 5-point safety harnesses on both seats and peek-a-boo windows in their canopy.

One drawback of the G-Link is that it doesn't have the belly bar and snack tray that we like to see in our top picks, but those aren't necessary features for an umbrella stroller anyway. Like all umbrella strollers, it should be handled with attention to avoid getting fingers stuck in hinges and mechanisms.

The seats in double umbrella strollers are usually side-by-side however, there are a few models that are inline (one seat behind the other). Inline models are easier to navigate through doorways than side by side models however their seating arrangements could cause your kids to fight over the best seat. This issue was pretty evenly split between our previous test participants, so it really comes down to an individual choice.

Safety

The safety of your children should be a top priority when you choose a stroller and the design of double umbrella strollers can determine the quality of its operation. Some models are close to providing the same level of safety as full-sized double strollers. These strollers usually have 5-point harnesses with foot rests, calf and calf straps for children, as well as an extendable, UPF 50+ sun visor. They are also usually narrower and lighter than other double umbrella strollers which makes them easier to maneuver through tight spaces like airports or streets in cities.

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 who are traveling with children and who need a convenient and quick method of getting around. It's also compact enough to fit in the trunk of a car.

The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 is another model worth looking into. It is among the most lightweight Double Stroller double strollers we've tested. It is surprisingly sturdy design for an umbrella-style product. It also has a large, easily accessible storage basket as well as reclining chairs and the window that peeks out. The seat is also able to hold 35 lbs and meets Disney stroller size requirements.

Other models, like the Jeep PowerGlide double stroller, are more basic in appearance and might not have the same features. They are light and can be used for backups or even for occasional travel. They're also less expensive than renting a stroller for an entire trip or vacation. They are easy to fold, lift, transport and store away.
