From All Over The Web: 20 Fabulous Infographics About Double Umbrella Stroller

Choosing a Double Umbrella Stroller

When looking for a double umbrella stroller, it's important to evaluate your family's needs and preferences. This will allow you to narrow down your options and focus on the most important features.

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

Lightweight

The best double buggy double umbrella strollers can provide a lot of functionality in a small, light package. They're not as heavy as a conventional stroller or jogger and are typically smaller when folded too. They don't have the whistles, bells and storage space of full-size strollers; they do provide large canopies and reclining seats.

Many families opt for a light double umbrella stroller as it's a great stroller for travel. It's easy to fold and fits into most trunks or carry-on bags for airplanes. It is also a good option for narrow entrances and crowded streets. It's cheaper than more feature-rich "travel stroller" that you might take for walks on a daily basis.

A few of the best double umbrella strollers, like the UPPAbaby G-Link 2, have certain features you won't see on lighter models. This double umbrella stroller has hanging storage pockets as well as trays for toys and snacks in each seat, and two cup holders for parents. The sleek design makes this double umbrella stroller one of the most compact on the market. It also has an extra wide canopy that protects both seats.

Other options that are lightweight like the Joovy Kooper X2, offer more bells and whistles than you would expect from a double stroller umbrella, including a more comfy ride for both kids thanks to the padded seats and deeper recline on each seat. It's important to keep in mind that the more features you pick the more the stroller weighs. Additionally, due to the way that strollers open and close it is important to be careful not to let little fingers catch on frames or hinges, particularly when your child is in a seat or a chair.

Compact

The smallest double umbrella strollers when folded are easy to maneuver and fit in tight spaces. These strollers are a great option for parents who frequent the streets, shopping malls, or to navigate tourist attractions like the zoo or aquarium. These lightweight, compact strollers are great to use for commutes or as a backup to a larger stroller that has more features while traveling.

There are two general styles of lightweight double umbrella products: those with very few features and those that offer a number of convenience and comfort features in addition to their compact size and light weight. Some of the most effective examples are large pop-out umbrellas, with SPF 50, peekaboo windows and cushioned seats. They also have five-point safety harnesses on both sides, as well as adjustable leg rests as well as reclined seats. 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 has.

The Delta Children LX Double Umbrella is a great example of a basic minimal, simple option that is incredibly light and very affordable. The stroller weighs only 18 pounds and comes with an easy-to-carry strap to carry it around. It fits easily in the trunk of your car or a front hall closet when not in use. The front wheels are precise and can swivel to give you more comfort and ease of steering. Another highly recommended option is the brand new Kinderwagon Hop, a super narrow tandem umbrella stroller that's ultralight and easy to navigate through doors. The model was removed from the market for a while however, it's back in production and is worth checking out. It also has three panels of canopy that provide more sun protection than smaller models.

Easy to Fold

The most basic umbrella strollers fold like umbrellas and weigh less than other types. This makes them easy to lift, carry, and stow for use when you don't need or can't bring your full-size stroller for some reason (traveling on an airplane, exploring a foreign city, visiting grandma). They typically have fewer features than an all-inclusive stroller, but they should have the basic functionality you need, such as the sun canopy and storage.

The UPPAbaby G-Link 2's latest version is lighter, narrower and has an efficient wheel structure on the front that enhances its maneuverability and pushability. It's an excellent option for a double travel stroller--and it's Disney-approved!

A double tri-fold stroller like the Joovy Kooper X2, offers all the features of a stroller with an umbrella, but in a body that's comparable in size to a regular full-size stroller. This kind of stroller is quickly replacing the classic double umbrella, and might be the best choice for a flexible lightweight stroller to travel with.

The majority of double umbrella strollers we recommend are side by side models. The exception is the Kinderwagon Hop, a tandem umbrella stroller that's lightweight and easy to fold (though it's also a bit small in width). This is a great option if you want a simple inexpensive double umbrella stroller that you can easily throw in your trunk for quick trips. It comes with two storage bins that hang from the bag on the back of each seat, as well as parent cupholders. It's so basic, it might not help your children get through the airport without causing them to be cranky, but it will help make the journey more enjoyable.

Comfortable Seats

Most umbrella strollers don't have any bells and whistles because they are intended to do one thing: take two children from point A to B. They usually come with comfortable, spacious seats but no reclining options or all-terrain wheels.

The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 is the only exception. It is a lightweight and compact double twin umbrella stroller stroller that comes with two seats weighing only 18 lbs. This makes it a great choice for travelers. It has excellent suspension, a massive three-panel canopy that shields kids from the sun, and a decent amount of storage space in both seats, but not as many as our top picks. It has 5-point safety belts in both seats, as well as a an open-air window in the canopy.

The G-Link lacks the bellybar and snack tray we'd love see on our top choices. But those features aren’t necessary for umbrella strollers. Like any umbrella stroller, it should be used with care to ensure that fingers - whether your own or children's get trapped in the folding frame 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 maneuver through doors than models with side by sides however their seating arrangements could cause your kids to fight over which seat. This was pretty equally split among our previous test subjects, so it really comes down to an individual choice.

Safety

When you are choosing a stroller for your child safety must be your top priority. The design of an umbrella for a double stroller can determine its performance. While it's hard to find a lightweight cheap double stroller stroller that provides the same level of security as full-sized strollers, some models are close. These strollers usually have 5-point harnesses, feet and calf rests designed for children, aswell with an extendable UPF 50and sunvisor. They are usually narrower and lighter than other double umbrella strollers. This makes them easier to maneuver in tight spaces such as airports or on city streets.

Some models, such as the Kinderwagon Hop, are side-by-sides and are particularly simple to maneuver through narrow spaces. This stroller is perfect for parents who are traveling with children and who need a convenient and quick method of getting around. It's also small enough to fit into a trunk.

The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 is another model that is worth considering. It is one of the Lightest double stroller double strollers we have examined. It has a very robust design for an umbrella and comes with a large, accessible storage basket, reclining seats, and a peek-a-boo view. The seat also holds 35 pounds and is in line with Disney stroller size requirements.

Other models, such as the Jeep PowerGlide Double Stroller, may be more basic in appearance and may not come with as many features. However they are extremely light and can be utilized as a backup for occasional travel purposes. They are also less expensive than renting one for a complete vacation or for a trip. They are also easy to fold, lift, transport, and stow away.
