Lightweight

The best double buggy double umbrella strollers offer lots of features in a light, compact package. They aren't as heavy as a conventional stroller or jogger and they're typically smaller when folded too. They don't have the bells, whistles, and storage space that are found in full-size strollers, they do have large canopies and reclined seats.

A lightweight double infant strollers umbrella stroller is a popular choice for families traveling. It folds easily and can be tucked away in most trunks or carry-on bags for airplanes. It is also a great alternative for narrow doors and busy streets. It's also less expensive than more feature-rich "travel stroller" which you could use for everyday walks.

This double umbrella stroller has hanging storage pockets, snack and toys trays on each seat, as well as two cup holders for parents. Its streamlined design makes it one of the slimmest double umbrella strollers available on the market, when folded. It also features a large canopy that protects both seats.

Other lightweight options such as the Joovy Kooper X2, offer more bells and whistles than you would expect from a double stroller umbrella, such as a more comfy ride for both kids thanks to padded seats as well as a higher recline for each seat. The more features you select, the heavier the stroller. Also, you should be sure that your child doesn't put their fingers on the frames or hinges of these strollers due to the way they open and close.

Compact

When folded when folded, the smallest double umbrella strollers are easily maneuverable and fit into small spaces. They're a great option for parents who plan to take their stroller regularly on sidewalks, in shopping malls, or to visit tourist attractions like the zoo, aquarium or museums. These compact strollers that are lightweight can also be great for commuting or as a backup option to the heavier, more features-packed stroller while 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 include numerous convenience and comfort features in addition to their compact size and lightweight weight. Some of the most effective examples include nice-sized pop-out canopies with SPF 50 and a peekaboo windows and padding seats and 5-point safety harnesses for both seating areas, reclining seats, and adjustable leg rests. Other key factors to consider are whether or not you require a tray for parents, car seat attachment capability and how much storage space each seat comes with.

The Delta Children LX Double Umbrella is an excellent example of the bare-bones minimal, simple option that is extremely lightweight and very affordable. The stroller weighs just 18 pounds, comes with a handy carrying strap and can be put in the trunk of your car or in the front hall closet. The front wheels feature precision technology and swivel to provide smooth riding and easy steering. Another option that is highly recommended is the brand new Kinderwagon Hop, a super narrow tandem umbrella stroller that's also lightweight and easy to maneuver through the doorways. This model was out production for a few years however it's returning and worth looking into. It also has a three-panel canopy that offers better sun protection than smaller models.

Easy to Fold

The most basic umbrella strollers fold down like an umbrella and weigh less than other kinds. They are simple to carry, lift and stow which makes them perfect for those times when you aren't able to carry your full-size stroller for any reason (traveling by plane, touring a foreign country, visiting grandma). They typically aren't as well-equipped as an all-inclusive stroller, but they should have the essential features you need for a sun canopy and storage.

The G-Link 2's newest version is slimmer, lighter and has an improved wheel structure on the front that enhances its maneuverability and pushability. It's an excellent choice for a stroller to travel with that can hold two children. It's also Disney approved!

A double tri-fold stroller, like the Joovy Kooper X2, offers all the features of a stroller that has an umbrella design, but is comparable in size to a regular full-size stroller. This type of stroller is replacing the classic double umbrella stroller. It could be your best option if you are seeking a light, flexible stroller.

Most of the double umbrella strollers we recommend are side-by-side models. The Kinderwagon Hop is an umbrella tandem stroller that's lightweight and easy to fold. It is also relatively small in width. If you're looking to buy a cheap simple, minimalist, no-frills umbrella stroller that you can throw in your back pack or trunk for short trips, we highly recommend this model. It comes with two storage bins that hang from the bags at the back of each seat, as well as cup holders for the parents. It's so basic, it might not get your kids through the airport without making them cranky--but it will help to make the trip more comfortable.

Comfortable Seats

Most umbrella strollers don't have much in the way of bells and whistles because they're designed to perform one task: take two children from point A to point B. They typically have comfortable, spacious seats but no reclining options or all terrain wheels.

The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 is the only exception. It's a surprisingly light and compact double umbrella stroller that has two seats that weigh just 18 pounds each, which makes it an ideal choice for travelers (it does meet Disney size requirements). It comes with a large canopy with three panels that protect children from sun. Both seats come with plenty of storage, but not like some of our top picks. It comes with five-point safety belts in both seats, as well as a the ability to peek into the canopy.

One drawback of the G-Link is that it lacks the belly bar and snack tray that we love to see in our top picks, however they aren't the most important features to have on an umbrella stroller, anyway. Like any umbrella stroller, it needs to be handled with care so that fingers - whether your own or a child's--don't get caught in the folding frame hinges and mechanisms.

The seats in double umbrella strollers are usually side-by-side, but there are some models that are inline (one seat behind the other). Inline models can be easier to maneuver in doorways than side-by-side models, however they usually have a difference in seating options which could cause your kids to argue over who gets the better seat. This issue was pretty evenly divided among our previous testers, so it really boils down to 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 make or break this aspect of its performance. Although it's difficult to find a lightweight double stroller (more about Google) that can provide the same level of safety as full-sized strollers, some models are close. These strollers usually have 5-point harnesses, calf and foot rests 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 easier to maneuver through tight spaces like airports or on city streets.

Some models, like the Kinderwagon Hop, are side-by-sides and are particularly simple to maneuver through narrow spaces. This stroller is a great option for parents traveling with children and require a quick and convenient method of getting around. It's also compact enough to fit into a trunk.

The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 is another model that is worth a look. It is one of the most lightweight double strollers we've examined. It's a surprising sturdy design for an umbrella-style product. It also comes with an enormous storage basket that is easily accessible, reclining chairs, and an open window. The seat is able to hold 35 lbs. and meets Disney stroller requirements.

Other models, like the Jeep PowerGlide double stroller, are more bare-bones in design and might not have as many features. However these strollers are very lightweight and can be utilized as a backup for travel purposes on occasion. These strollers are also cheaper than renting one for a complete vacation or for a trip. They are also easy to lift, carry and fold.
