Choosing a Double Umbrella Stroller

The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 is an excellent double umbrella stroller, that's well-constructed and folds down compactly. It comes with large umbrellas and a large storage container. It's also easy to move.

Lightweight

The best double umbrella strollers are small and lightweight, but still provide plenty. They aren't as heavy as a traditional stroller or jogger and are typically smaller when folded too. They lack the bells and whistles that are found on large strollers, but they typically come with large canopy, ample storage space, and reclining seats.

A lightweight double umbrella stroller is a popular choice for families that travel together. It folds easily, can be tucked away in the majority of trunks and carry-on bags, and is an excellent choice for getting around the narrow streets and narrow doors. It's cheaper than a more feature-rich "travel stroller" which you could use for your daily walks.

Some of the best double strollers like the UPPAbaby G-Link 2 have features you won't find on cheaper models. This double umbrella stroller includes hanging storage pockets and trays in each seat to store kids' snacks and toys as well as two cup holders for parents.

Other options that are lightweight such as the Joovy Kooper X2, offer more bells and whistles than you'd expect from a double stroller umbrella. It also offers the ability to provide a more comfortable ride for both kids thanks to padded seats as well as a higher recline for each seat. The more features you select the more heavy the stroller. Also, due to the way strollers are able to open and close it is important to be cautious not to let little fingers catch on frames or hinges, particularly when your child is in a seat.

Compact

When folded when folded, the smallest double umbrella strollers are easy to maneuver and fit into tight spaces. These strollers are a great choice for parents who will frequent the streets, shopping malls, or to travel to tourist attractions like the zoo or aquarium. These compact, lightweight twin strollers for newborns are great for commuting, or as a backup to a larger stroller that has more features when traveling.

There are two main types of lightweight double umbrella products one of which is one with a limited number of features, and those that provide a number of comfort and convenience features in addition to their compact size and lightweight weight. Some of the better examples include nice-sized pop-out canopies with SPF 50, peekaboo windows with padding seats and 5-point safety harnesses for both seats with reclining seats, as well as adjustable leg rests. Other crucial aspects to take into consideration are whether or not you want a parent tray or car seat attachment and how much storage space each seat comes with.

The Delta Children LX Double Umbrella is a light, low-cost umbrella that is very affordable. The stroller weighs only 18 pounds, comes with a handy carrying strap and can be put in the trunk of your vehicle or in the front closet of your home. The front wheels are equipped with precision technology and swivel to provide a smooth ride and easier steering. Another option to consider is the new Kinderwagon Hop, a super narrow tandem umbrella stroller that's ultralight and easy to navigate through doors. The model was out of production for a few decades, but it is now back and is worth taking a look at. It also has a larger three-panel canopy for improved sun protection over the smaller, basic models in this review.

Easy to Fold

The simplest umbrella strollers fold down like an umbrella, and they weigh less than other types. They are easy to carry, lift, and stow for use when you don't want or don't have a large stroller due to some reason (traveling on an airplane, touring a foreign city, visiting grandma). These strollers are typically less well-equipped than fully-featured models, but they will 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 improves its maneuverability and pushability. It's a great option for a double buggy for twins travel stroller--and it's approved by Disney!

A double stroller with car seat tri-fold stroller like the Joovy Kooper X2, offers all the comfort of an umbrella-style stroller but in a body that's similar in size to a regular full-size stroller. This type of stroller is replacing the classic double umbrella stroller. It may be your best choice if seeking a light, versatile stroller.

Most of the double umbrella strollers we recommend are side-by-side models. The Kinderwagon Hop is an umbrella tandem stroller that is super lightweight and easy to fold. It is also very small double buggy in width. This is a great option if you want a simple budget double umbrella stroller you can easily put in your trunk for quick trips. It even has two hanging storage bags on the sides of each seat, as well as cup holders for parents. It's so bare bones that it's unlikely to help your children get through the airport without getting them cranky, but it will help to make the trip more comfortable.

Comfortable Seats

The majority of umbrella strollers don't come with many bells and whistles since they're designed to perform one task: get two kids from point A to point B. This means they typically have seats that are spacious and comfortable but do not have recline options or all-terrain wheels.

The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 stands out. It is a compact and lightweight double umbrella stroller that has two seats that weigh just 18 lbs. This makes it a fantastic choice for travelers. It has excellent suspension, a large 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 has the crucial 5-point safety harnesses on both seats, as well as peek-a-boo windows in their canopies.

A downside of the G-Link is that it does not have the belly bar and snack tray that we love 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 caught in the 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 can cause your children to argue over which is the best seat. Our previous test subjects were evenly divided on this matter and it's an individual choice.

Safety

The safety of your children is a primary consideration when choosing a stroller, and the design of a double umbrella stroller can affect the quality of its operation. Some models come close to offering the same level of security as larger double push chair - try here - strollers. These strollers typically have 5-point harnesses as well as feet and calf rests for children, aswell with an extendable UPF 50plus sunvisor. They are typically also narrower and lighter than other double umbrella strollers, making them easier to maneuver through tight spaces such as airports or city streets.

Some models, like the Kinderwagon Hop, are side-by-sides and are especially simple to maneuver through narrow spaces. This stroller is an excellent choice for parents who are traveling with young children and require a quick and convenient method of getting around. It's also small enough to fit easily in a trunk or storage space.

Another model worth considering is the UPPAbaby G-Link 2, which is one of the lightest double umbrella strollers we've test. It is a sturdy design for an umbrella-style stroller and has a large, accessible storage basket, reclining seats, and a peek-a-boo view. The seat is also able to hold 35 pounds and is in line with Disney stroller size requirements.

Other models, like the Jeep PowerGlide Double Stroller, might be simpler in appearance and may not come with as many features. However these strollers are extremely light and can be utilized as a backup for travel purposes on occasion. They're also less expensive than renting a stroller for the duration of a vacation or trip. They are easy to fold, lift, carry, and stow away.
