Choosing a Double Umbrella Stroller When you are looking for a double umbrella stroller it's important to evaluate your family's requirements and priorities. This will allow you to narrow your choices and focus on the most important features. The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 double umbrella stroller is a well-made, upscale product that folds down compactly. It comes with big umbrellas as well as a huge storage bin and is very easy to move around. Lightweight The top double umbrella strollers can provide many functions in a light, compact package. They're not as heavy as a typical stroller or jogger, and they're usually smaller when folded. They don't have the bells or whistles that you'll find on large strollers, but they often provide large canopies with ample storage space, and seating that reclines. Many families opt for an umbrella stroller that is lightweight because it's an ideal stroller for traveling. It folds easily and can be tucked away in most carry-on bags or trunks for airplanes. It's also a great option for narrow entrances and crowded streets. It's cheaper than more feature-rich “travel stroller” that you could use for your daily walks. Some of the top double strollers, like the UPPAbaby G-Link 2 have features you won't find on cheaper models. This double umbrella stroller features hanging storage pockets, tray for snacks and toys in each seat and two cup holders for parents. The streamlined design makes this double umbrella stroller among the smallest on the market. It also comes with an extra-wide canopy that protects both seats. Some other options that are light such as the Joovy Kooper X2, have more of the bells and whistles you might expect from a double umbrella stroller, such as a more comfortable ride for both kids because of the padded seating and a more comfortable recline in each seat. It's important to keep in mind, though, that the more features you choose, the more your stroller will weigh. You'll also want to be careful that your child doesn't get their fingers on the hinges or frames of these strollers due to how they open and close. Compact When folded, the most compact double umbrella strollers are easily maneuverable and be tucked away in tight spaces. These strollers are an excellent choice for parents who will often use them on streets, shopping malls, or to navigate tourist attractions like the zoo or aquarium. These compact, lightweight strollers are also great to use for commutes or as a backup to a larger stroller with more features when traveling. There are two types of double umbrellas that are lightweight with very little features and those that offer many options for comfort and convenience in addition to their tiny size. Some of the most effective examples are large pop-out canopies with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows and padding seats with 5-point safety harnesses in both seats, reclining seats, and adjustable leg rests. It is also important to consider whether you want a car seat attachment, a parent tray and the amount of storage space in each seat. The Delta Children LX Double Umbrella provides a lightweight, low-cost umbrella that is affordable. The stroller weighs only 18 pounds and comes with a convenient carrying strap for schlepping and fits easily into the trunk of your car or in a front hall closet when not in use. The front wheels are high-tech and swivel to provide an easier ride and smoother steering. Another highly recommended option is the brand new Kinderwagon Hop, a super narrow tandem umbrella stroller that's also light and easy to maneuver through doorways. The model was removed from the market for a few years, but is returning to production and is worth a look. It also comes with three panels of canopy that provide better sun protection than smaller models. Easy to Fold The simplest umbrella strollers fold down like an umbrella, and they weigh less than other models. They are easy to lift, carry, and stow for use when you don't need or need to bring your larger stroller due to a reason (traveling on an airplane, touring a foreign city, visiting grandma). These strollers are often less well-equipped than fully-featured models, but they will provide the basic features including storage and a sun canopy. The most recent version of the UPPAbaby G-Link 2 is lighter and narrower than the predecessor, with a more efficient front wheel that increases mobility and pushability. It's a great choice for a stroller to travel with that can fit two kids. And 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 a body similar to a full-size stroller. This type of stroller is fast replacing the standard double umbrella model, and it may be your best choice for a flexible lightweight stroller to travel with. The majority of double umbrella strollers we recommend are side by side models. The Kinderwagon Hop is an umbrella tandem stroller that is super light, easy to fold and very narrow. If you're looking for a low-cost simple, minimalist, no-frills umbrella stroller you can toss in your trunk or back pack for short trips, we highly recommend this one. It includes two storage bags that hang from the bags at the back of each seat, as well as cup holders for parents. It's so bare bones, it might not get your kids through the airport without making them cranky—but it will make the journey more enjoyable. Comfortable Seats The majority of umbrella strollers don't come with a variety of bells and whistles because they are designed for one goal: to transport two children from A to B. They usually come with comfortable, spacious seats but no reclining options or all-terrain wheels. The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 stands out. It is a small and light double umbrella stroller that has two seats that weigh just 18 lbs. This makes it an ideal choice for travelers. It's got a fantastic suspension, a huge three-panel canopy that shields children from the sun and plenty of storage space in both seats, but not quite as much as our top choices. It also has the important 5-point safety harnesses on both seats as well as windows that peek out in their canopy. The G-Link does not have the bellybar or snack tray we'd love to see on our top choices. However, these features aren't necessary for umbrella strollers. As with any umbrella stroller, it should be handled with care so that fingers – whether your own or that of a child get caught 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 that is placed in front of the other). Inline models are easier to maneuver in doorways than side-by-side models, but they often have a disparity between seating features that can cause your children to fight over who gets the better seat. This issue was fairly evenly divided among our previous test subjects, so it really boils down to an individual choice. Safety The safety of your children is a primary consideration when selecting a stroller and the design of double umbrella strollers can determine this aspect of its performance. Some models are close to providing the same level of safety as full-sized double stroller s. They typically come with 5-point harnesses, calf and foot rests for children, as well as an extendable, UPF 50+ sun visor. They are usually narrower and lighter than other double umbrella strollers. This makes them easier to maneuver in tight spaces like airports and city streets. Some models, like the Kinderwagon Hop are side-byside and are easy to push in small spaces. This stroller is ideal for parents who travel with their children and who need a convenient and quick method of getting around. It's also small enough to fit easily into the trunk or in a storage space. Another model worth considering is the UPPAbaby G-Link 2, which is one of the most lightweight double umbrella strollers we tested. It features a surprisingly sturdy design for an umbrella-style product and features a large, accessible storage basket, reclining seats and a peek-a-boo view. The seat can also support 35 lbs. and is in line with Disney stroller specifications. Other models, like the Jeep PowerGlide Double Stroller, may be less basic in design and not have 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 much cheaper than renting the stroller for a whole vacation or for a trip. They're easy to fold, lift, carry and store away.
