Lightweight
The top double umbrella strollers are small and light, yet provide plenty of. They're not as heavy as a conventional stroller or jogger and tend to be smaller when folded. They don't have the whistles, bells and storage space of larger strollers, they do have large canopies 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, can be tucked away in the majority of trunks and airline carry-on bags, and is the best option for navigating tight doorways and crowded sidewalks. It's also less expensive than more feature-rich "travel stroller" which you could use for your daily walks.
Some of the top double strollers, like the UPPAbaby G-Link 2 have features that aren't found on lighter options. This double umbrella stroller features hanging storage pockets as well as trays for toys and snacks in each seat, and two cup holders for parents. Its streamlined design makes it one of the smallest double umbrella strollers on the market. It folds easily and comes with a wide canopy to safeguard both seats.
Other options that are lightweight such as the Joovy Kooper X2, offer more bells and whistles than one would expect from a double stroller umbrella. It also offers more comfortable rides for both kids thanks to padded seats as well as a higher recline for each seat. The more features you pick the more weighty the stroller. Also, because of the way these strollers open and close it is important to be cautious not to let little fingers get caught on frames or hinges, especially when your child is seated in either seat.
Compact
The smallest double umbrella strollers that fold are easy to maneuver and can be tucked away in tight spaces. These strollers are an excellent choice for parents who will use them frequently on sidewalks, shopping malls or to navigate tourist attractions such as the zoo or aquarium. These compact, lightweight strollers can also be great for commutes or as a substitute for the heavier, more features-packed stroller while traveling.
There are two types of lightweight double umbrellas with very little features and those that offer a variety of options for comfort and convenience in addition to their compact size. Some of the most effective examples include nice-sized pop-out canopies with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows, padding seats, 5-point safety harnesses in both seats with reclining seats, as well as adjustable leg rests. You should also consider whether you'd like a car seat attachment as well as a tray for parents and the amount of storage space that is available in each seat.
The Delta Children LX Double Umbrella is an excellent example of a basic, no-frills option that is extremely light and affordable. The stroller weighs only 18 lbs, has an easy-to-carry strap and can be stored in the trunk of your vehicle or front hall closet. The front wheels are precision technology and can swivel to give you an easier ride and smoother steering. The brand new Kinderwagon Hop is a tandem umbrella stroller with a super-narrow width that is also ultralight and easy for you to maneuver through doors. The model was out of production for a few decades, but it is now back and is worth checking out. It also has a three-panel canopy, which provides 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 don't have a larger stroller due to a reason (traveling on an airplane, exploring an unfamiliar city, or visiting grandma). These strollers are often not as feature-rich as full-featured models, but they will provide the basic features, such as storage and a sun canopy.
The UPPAbaby G-Link 2's latest version is lighter, narrower and has a more efficient wheel structure on the front, which improves its maneuverability and pushability. It's a great option for a double stroller, and it's approved by Disney!

This kind of stroller is replacing the classic double umbrella stroller. It could be your ideal choice if you're searching for a light and flexible stroller.
Most double stroller with car seat umbrella strollers that 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, basic, no-frills double umbrella stroller that you can put in your trunk or back pack for quick trips, we strongly recommend this model. It comes with two storage bags that hang on the backs of each seat as well as cup holders for the parents. It's so bare bones that it's unlikely to help your children get through an airport without causing them to be cranky, but it will make the journey more enjoyable.
Comfortable Seats
Most umbrella strollers aren't equipped with a lot of bells and whistles, because they only have one purpose: to get two children from A to B. This means they typically have seats that are spacious and comfortable, but don't have reclining options or wheels that are all-terrain.
The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 stands out. It is a small and light double umbrella stroller with two seats that weigh just 18 pounds. This makes it an ideal choice for travelers. It has a large canopy with three panels to protect children from sun. Both seats offer a good amount of storage however, not as much as some of our top choices. It has 5-point safety belts in both seats, as well as peek-a-boo window in the canopy.
The G-Link does not have the bellybar or snack tray that we'd like to see on our top choices. But those features aren’t essential for an umbrella stroller. Like any umbrella stroller it must be handled with caution to avoid getting your fingers caught in the hinges 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 in front of the other). Inline models are more easy to maneuver through doors than models that are side by side however their seating arrangement could cause your kids to fight over the best travel double stroller seat. This issue was pretty evenly divided among our previous testers and it is the individual preference.
Safety
When choosing a stroller for your child, safety is the most important consideration. The design of a double stroller umbrella can affect its performance. While it's hard to find a light double stroller that can provide the same level of safety as full-sized strollers, some models are comparable. They typically come with 5-point harnesses and feet and calf rests for children, aswell with an extendable UPF 50+ sunvisor. They are typically also narrower and lighter than other double umbrella strollers which makes them easier to maneuver in tight spaces like airports or city streets.
Certain models, such as the Kinderwagon Hop are side-byside and are simple to push even in tiny spaces. This stroller is an excellent option for parents who are traveling with children and require a quick and convenient method of getting around. It's also compact enough to fit into the trunk.
The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 is another model worth looking into. It is among the lightest double single pushchair strollers we have test-driven. It is surprisingly sturdy design for an umbrella-style product. It also has a large storage basket that is easily accessible as well as reclining chairs and an open window. The seat is able to hold 35 pounds. and is able to meet Disney stroller specifications.
Other models, such as the Jeep PowerGlide double stroller, are more minimalist in their design and may not offer the same features. They are light and can be used for backups or for occasional travel. They are also much cheaper than renting a stroller for the duration of a vacation or for a trip. They're also easy to fold, lift, carry, and stow away.
