Choosing a Double Umbrella Stroller

When you are looking for a double umbrella stroller, it's crucial to assess your family's needs and priorities. This will simplify your options and allow you to focus on the aspects that matter most.

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

Lightweight

The top double umbrella strollers can provide a lot of functionality in a light, compact package. They're not as heavy as a traditional jogger or stroller and are usually smaller when folded. They don't have the whistles, bells and storage space of larger strollers; they do provide large canopies and reclining seats.

A compact double umbrella stroller is a favorite choice for families who travel together. It is easy to fold and can be tucked away in the majority of trunks and carry-on bags for planes. It is an excellent option for narrow doorways and crowded streets. It's also cheaper than a "travel stroller" with more features you could use frequently.

Some of the top double strollers, such as the UPPAbaby G-Link 2 have features you won't find on the lighter models. This double umbrella stroller features hanging storage pockets as well as tray for snacks and toys in each seat and two cupholders for parents. The sleek design makes this double stroller with infant car seat umbrella stroller one of the most compact on the market. It also comes with an extra-wide canopy that protects both seats.

Other options that are lightweight like the Joovy Kooper X2, offer more bells and whistles than you would expect from a double infant strollers stroller umbrella, such as more comfortable rides for both children due to padded seats as well as a deeper recline on each seat. It's important to note that the more features you select the more your stroller will weigh. You'll also want to be sure that your child doesn't put their fingers on the hinges or frames of these strollers due to the way they open and close.

Compact

The tiniest double umbrella strollers that fold are easy to maneuver and can be tucked away in tight spaces. They're a great option for parents who intend to use their stroller frequently on sidewalks, in shopping centers, or to travel around tourist destinations like the zoo, aquarium or museums. These lightweight, compact strollers are great for commuting, or as a backup stroller to a larger stroller with more features while traveling.

There are two general styles of lightweight double umbrella products that have a few features and those that include a number of comfort and convenience features in addition to their compact size and lightweight weight. Some of the best double strollers 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, leg rests, and reclined seats. You should also consider whether you would like a car seat attachment or a tray for the parent 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 incredibly light and very affordable. This stroller weighs just 18 lbs and includes a handy carrying strap that can be schlepped easily in the trunk of your car or a front hall closet when not in use. The front wheels are high-tech and swivel for more comfort and ease of steering. The new Kinderwagon Hop is a tandem umbrella stroller with a super-narrow width, which is also ultralight and easy to navigate through doors. The model was off the market for a few years however, it's returning to production and is worth checking out. It also comes with a three-panel canopy that offers better sun protection than smaller models.

Easy to Fold

The most basic umbrella strollers fold like an umbrella and weigh less than other kinds of strollers. They are simple to carry, lift and store which makes them perfect for when you do not want to take your full-size stroller for any reason (traveling on a plane, exploring a foreign country, visiting grandma). These strollers are often less well-equipped than fully-featured models, but should still offer the essentials including storage and a sun canopy.

The G-Link 2's most recent version is slimmer, lighter and has an improved wheel structure on the front that enhances its maneuverability and pushability. It's a great option for a stroller that can accommodate two children. And it's Disney approved!

A double tri-fold stroller like the Joovy Kooper X2, offers all the convenience of a stroller that has an umbrella design, but is comparable in size to a full-size stroller. This class of stroller is quickly replacing the standard double umbrella model, and it may be your best choice when you're looking for a versatile stroller that is lightweight and easy to carry around.

Most double umbrella strollers that 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 small in width). This is a great choice when you're looking for a basic inexpensive double umbrella stroller you can easily throw in your trunk for short trips. It comes with two hanging storage bags on the sides of each seat, as well as cup holders for parents. It's so simple, it could not get your kids through an airport without making noise. However, it can make your journey more comfortable.

Comfortable Seats

Most umbrella strollers don't have much in the way of bells and whistles since they're designed to do one thing: transport two children from point A to B. That means they usually offer seats that are comfortable and spacious, but don't have reclining options or all-terrain wheels.

The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 is the one exception. It's a light and compact double umbrella stroller that has two seats that weigh less than 18 pounds each, making it an ideal choice for anyone who travels (it meets Disney size requirements). It has a great suspension, a massive three-panel canopy that is able to shield kids from the sun, and a decent amount of storage space in both seats, although not as much as our top choices. It also has the important 5-point safety harnesses in both seats, as well as 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 we've come to see in our top picks, but those aren't the most important features to have on an umbrella stroller, anyway. Like all umbrella strollers, the G-Link must be handled with attention to avoid getting fingers trapped in the hinges and mechanisms.

In the majority of double buggy with car seat umbrella strollers they have seats that are side-by-side. However, there are models with inline seating (one seat in front of the other). Inline models are simpler to navigate through doorways than side by side models however their seating arrangement could cause your kids to fight over which seat. This issue was pretty equally split among our previous test participants, so it really comes down to an individual choice.

Safety

When choosing a stroller for your child Safety must be your top priority. The design of an umbrella for a double stroller can make or break its performance. While it's hard to find a light double stroller that offers the same level of safety as larger strollers, some models are close. 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 tend to be smaller and lighter compared to other cheap double stroller umbrella strollers. This makes them easier to maneuver through tight spaces such as airports and city streets.

Some models, like the Kinderwagon Hop are side-byside and are easy to push in tight spaces. This stroller is perfect for parents traveling with children and who need a convenient and quick way to get around. It is also compact enough to fit into the trunk.

The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 is another model that is worth a look. It is one of the most light double strollers that we have tested. It has a surprisingly robust design for an umbrella product. It also comes with an enormous storage basket that is easily accessible, reclining chairs, and an open window. The seat can also hold 35 lbs. and is in line with Disney stroller specifications.

Other models, such as the Jeep PowerGlide Double Stroller, might be simpler in appearance and may not come with as many features. They are light and can be used for backups or for occasional travel. They are also less expensive than renting one for a whole vacation or trip. They are also easy to lift, carry and fold.
