Lightweight

The top double umbrella strollers provide lots of features in a compact, light package. They're not as heavy as a typical stroller or jogger and are usually smaller when folded.

It also offers a more comfortable ride for both kids thanks to padded seating and a more comfortable recline in each seat. The more features you choose, the heavier the stroller. Also, you should be sure that your child doesn't get their fingers on the frames or hinges of these strollers because of the way they open and close.

The stroller weighs only 18 pounds and comes with an easy-to-carry strap that can be schlepped easily into the trunk of your car or in a front closet when not in use.

Another option to consider is the new Kinderwagon Hop, a super narrow tandem umbrella stroller double that's also light and easy to maneuver through doorways. The model was removed from the market for a while, but is returning to production and is worth checking out. It also comes with a three-panel canopy that offers better sun protection than smaller models.

Easy to Fold

The simplest umbrella strollers collapse like umbrellas and weigh less than other types of strollers. They are easy to carry, lift and stow which makes them perfect for when you don't want to bring your full-size stroller for any reason (traveling by plane, touring in a new country, visiting grandma). These strollers are typically less feature-rich than full-featured models, but they should provide the basic features like storage space and a sun canopy.

The latest version of the UPPAbaby G-Link 2 is lighter and narrower than the predecessor, with a more efficient front wheel structure that improves the maneuverability and pushability. It's a great choice for a stroller that can accommodate two children. It's Disney approved!

The majority of double umbrella strollers we recommend are side-by-side models. The Kinderwagon Hop is an umbrella tandem stroller that is lightweight and easy to fold. It is also very narrow. If you're looking for a cheap, simple, no-frills double umbrella stroller you can toss in your trunk or back pack for quick trips, we recommend this one. It comes with two storage bins that hang from the bags on the back of each seat, as well as parent cupholders. It's so simple, it may not get your children through an airport without making a fuss. However, it can make your journey more comfortable.

Comfortable Seats

Most umbrella strollers don't feature any bells and whistles since they're made to perform one task: get two kids from one location to B. They usually have spacious, comfortable seats, but they don't have recline options or all-terrain wheels.

The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 stands out. It's a surprisingly light and compact double umbrella stroller with two seats that weigh less than 18 pounds each, making it a great option for anyone who travels (it is in line with Disney size requirements). It has a great suspension, a large three-panel canopy that easily shields children from the sun and plenty of storage space in both seats, but not quite as much as our top selections. It also comes with the essential 5-point safety harnesses on both seats, as well as peek-a-boo windows in their canopies.

The only downside to 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 essential features for an umbrella stroller in the first place. Like all umbrella strollers, it must be handled with attention to avoid getting fingers caught in the hinges and mechanisms.

The seats in double umbrella strollers are usually side-by-side however there are some models that are inline (one seat behind the other). Inline models are more convenient to maneuver in doorways than side-by-side models, but they often have a disparity between the seating options which could cause your kids to argue over who gets the best seat. This issue was fairly evenly split between our previous test subjects and it comes down to an individual choice.

Safety

Your child's safety must be the top consideration when choosing a stroller, and the design of double umbrella strollers can make or break this aspect of its performance. Some models come close to providing the same level safety as full-sized double strollers. These strollers typically have 5-point harnesses, calf and foot rests for children, as well as an extendable UPF 50+ sun visor. They are also usually narrower and lighter than other double umbrella strollers making them easier to maneuver through tight spaces like airports or streets in cities.

Certain models, such as the Kinderwagon Hop are side-byside and are easy to push in small spaces. This stroller is a great option for parents who are traveling with young children and require a quick and easy way to get around. It's also small enough to fit into the trunk of a car.

Another option worth considering is the UPPAbaby G-Link 2, which is among the most light double umbrella strollers that we've test. It is surprisingly sturdy design for an umbrella product. It also comes with a large storage basket that is easily accessible with reclining seats, as well as the window that peeks out. 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 design and do not include as many features. However they are very lightweight and can be used as a backup for occasional travel needs. These strollers are also cheaper than renting one for a complete vacation or trip.
