Choosing a Double Umbrella Stroller It is important to think about your family's needs and priorities when shopping for a double stroller. This will help you narrow down your options and focus on the most important features. Uppababy G-Link 2 is an excellent double umbrella stroller that's manufactured well and folds up compactly. It has big canopies as well as an enormous storage container. It's also simple to move. Lightweight The best double umbrella strollers are small and lightweight, yet provide plenty. They aren't as heavy as a standard stroller or jogger, and are generally smaller when folded, too. While they don't have the whistles, bells and storage space that are found in full-size strollers, they do have large canopy and reclined seats. Many families choose an umbrella stroller that is lightweight because it's an ideal travel stroller. It folds easily, can be tucked away in the majority of trunks and carry-on bags, and is the best option for navigating narrow sidewalks and tight doors. It's also less expensive than the “travel stroller” with more features you might use frequently. twin pushchairs of the top double strollers, like the UPPAbaby G-Link 2 have features that you won't see on lighter options. This double umbrella stroller includes hanging storage pockets and trays in each seat for children's snacks and toys, as well as two parent cupholders. 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. Other options that are lightweight, like the Joovy Kooper X2, have more of the bells and whistles you'd expect from a double umbrella stroller, such as a more comfortable ride for both children thanks to padded seating and a more comfortable recline in each seat. It's important to note, though, that the more features you choose, the more the stroller will weigh. Also, you should be careful that your child doesn't catch their fingers on the hinges or frames of these strollers because of how they open and close. Compact The smallest double umbrella strollers that fold are easy to maneuver and fit in tight spaces. These strollers are a great choice for parents who will use them frequently on sidewalks, shopping malls or to travel to tourist attractions such as the zoo or aquarium. These compact strollers that are lightweight are also ideal for commuting or as a substitute for an extra heavy, features-packed stroller while traveling. There are two types of lightweight double umbrella products: those with very few features, and those that provide numerous convenience and comfort features, in addition to their small size and light weight. Some of the best examples are large pop-out canopies with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows and padding seats, 5-point safety harnesses in both seats as well as reclining seats and adjustable leg rests. Other key factors to consider are whether or not you want a tray for parents and car seat attachment capabilities and how much storage space each seat has. The Delta Children LX Double Umbrella is a fantastic example of a basic minimal, simple option that is incredibly light and very affordable. This stroller weighs only 18 lbs and includes a convenient carrying strap that can be schlepped easily into the trunk of your car, or a front hall closet when not in use. The front wheels are precise and swivel for an easier ride and smoother steering. The new Kinderwagon Hop is a tandem umbrella stroller with a super-narrow width that is also ultralight and easy to maneuver through doorways. The model was out of the market for a few years however, it's back in production and is worth a look. It also comes with a larger three-panel canopy that offers better sun protection than the smaller, basic models in this review. Easy to Fold The simplest umbrella strollers fold up like an umbrella, and they weigh less than other kinds. They are easy to carry, lift and store away which makes them perfect for those times when you do not want to take your full-size pram for whatever reason (traveling via plane, traveling to in a new country, visiting grandma). They often have fewer features than a fully-featured stroller, however they should provide the essential features you need like the sun canopy and storage. The latest version of the UPPAbaby G-Link 2 is lighter and narrower than the predecessor, and has a more efficient front wheel structure that improves mobility and pushability. It's a great option for a travel stroller that can hold two children. And it's Disney approved! A double tri-fold stroller, like the Joovy Kooper X2, offers all the convenience of an umbrella-style stroller but with a body comparable in size to a full-size stroller. This kind of stroller is replacing the standard double umbrella stroller. It could be your best option if you are looking for a lightweight, versatile stroller. Most of the double umbrella strollers that we recommend are side-by-side models. The exception is the Kinderwagon Hop, a tandem umbrella stroller that's light and easy to fold (though it's also quite small in width). This is a great option when you're looking for a basic inexpensive double umbrella stroller you can easily toss into your trunk for quick trips. It even comes with two storage bags that hang on the sides of each seat, as well as parent cupholders. It's so bare bones that it's unlikely to get your kids through an airport without getting them cranky, but it will make the journey more comfortable. Comfortable Seats The majority of umbrella strollers don't come with many bells and whistles since they're designed to do one thing: transport two children from point A to B. They usually have 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 that has two seats that weigh just 18 pounds each, which makes it a fantastic choice for anyone who travels (it does meet Disney size requirements). It has excellent suspension, a large three-panel canopy that easily shields kids from the sun, and plenty of storage space in both seats, but not quite as much as our top picks. It comes with 5-point safety belts on both seats, and a the ability to peek into the canopy. A downside of the G-Link is that it does not 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. As with any umbrella stroller, it should be used with care so fingers, whether your own or children's get stuck 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 with inline seating (one seat that is placed in front of the other). Inline models are easier to maneuver through doors than models that are side by side, but their seating arrangements could cause your kids to fight over which seat. Our previous test subjects were equally divided on this issue and it's an individual decision. Safety The safety of your children is a primary consideration when selecting a stroller and the design of a double umbrella stroller can affect the quality of its operation. While it's hard to find a light double stroller that can provide the same level of security as larger strollers, some models are comparable. They typically come with 5-point harnesses with foot rests, calf and calf straps for children, and an extendable, UPF 50+ sun visor. They tend to be smaller and lighter compared to other double umbrella strollers. This makes them more maneuverable in tight spaces like airports and city streets. Certain models, such as the Kinderwagon Hop are side-byside and are easy to push in tight spaces. This stroller is ideal for parents who are traveling with their children and those who require a comfortable and quick method of getting around. It's also small enough to fit easily into a trunk or storage space. The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 is another model that is worth considering. It is one of the most lightweight double strollers we've tested. It's a surprising sturdy design for an umbrella style product. It also comes with a large storage basket that is easily accessible with reclining seats, as well as a peekaboo window. The seat also holds 35 pounds and is in line with Disney stroller dimensions. Other models, like 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 for occasional travel. They are also much cheaper than renting the stroller for a whole trip or vacation. They are also easy to lift, carry and fold.
