Choosing a Double Umbrella Stroller It's important to consider your family's priorities and needs when you are shopping for a double stroller. This will help you narrow your choices and focus on the most essential features. The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 double umbrella stroller is a well-made, high-end product that folds up in a compact manner. It has large canopies and a large storage container. It is also very simple to move. Lightweight The top double umbrella strollers can provide a lot of functionality in a light, compact package. They're not as heavy as a typical jogger or stroller and are usually smaller when folded. While they don't have the whistles, bells and storage space that are found in full-size strollers, they offer large canopies and reclined seats. Many families choose an umbrella stroller that is lightweight as it's a great stroller for travel. It folds easily, can be tucked away in the majority of trunks and carry-on bags, and is generally a good choice for navigating tight doorways and crowded sidewalks. It's also less expensive than an extra-featured “travel stroller” that you might use for everyday walks. Some of the best double strollers like the UPPAbaby G-Link 2 have features you won't find on the lighter models. This double umbrella stroller includes hanging storage pockets and trays on each seat to store kids' toys and snacks as well as two parent cupholders. Its minimalist design makes it one of the smallest double umbrella strollers on the market. It folds easily and features a large canopy to protect both seats. Some other options that are light such as the Joovy Kooper X2, have more of the bells and whistles you'd expect from a double umbrella stroller, including a more comfortable ride for both children thanks to padded seating and a higher recline for each seat. It's important to remember, though, that the more features you choose, the more the stroller will weigh. Additionally, due to the way these strollers open and close, you'll want to be cautious not to let little fingers get caught on frames or hinges, especially if your child is sitting in a seat. Compact The smallest double umbrella strollers that fold are easy to maneuver and fit in tight spaces. These strollers are an excellent choice for parents who will often use them on sidewalks, shopping malls, or to travel to tourist attractions such as the zoo or aquarium. These lightweight, compact strollers are also ideal to commute in or as a backup option to a heavier, more feature-packed stroller when traveling. There are two types of umbrellas that are lightweight with very little features and those that offer various features and comfort options in addition to their compact size. Some of the best examples are large pop-out umbrellas, with SPF 50, peekaboo windows and seating cushions. They also have 5-point safety harnesses that are on both sides, leg rests and reclining seats. You should also think about whether you would like a car seat attachment or a tray for the parent and the amount of storage space that is available in each seat. The Delta Children LX Double Umbrella is a fantastic example of the bare-bones minimal, simple option that is incredibly light and incredibly affordable. The stroller weighs just 18 lbs, has a handy carrying strap, and can be easily stored in the trunk of your vehicle or front hall closet. The front wheels are high-tech and swivel for an easier ride and smoother steering. Another option to consider is the new Kinderwagon Hop, a super narrow tandem umbrella stroller that's also ultralight and easy to navigate through doorways. The model was removed from the market for a couple of years however, it's back in production and worth a look. It also comes with a larger three-panel canopy for improved sun protection than the smaller, basic models in this review. Easy to Fold double infant strollers fold like an umbrella and weigh much less than other kinds of strollers. This makes them easy to carry, lift and store when you don't need or can't bring your full-size stroller for some reason (traveling on an airplane, exploring an unfamiliar city, or visiting grandma). They usually aren't as well-equipped as an all-inclusive stroller, but they should have the basic functionality you need, such as the sun canopy and storage. The most recent version of the UPPAbaby G-Link 2 is lighter and narrower than its predecessor, and has an improved front wheel design that enhances maneuverability and pushability. It's a great choice for a travel stroller that can accommodate two children. It's Disney approved! A double tri-fold stroller, like the Joovy Kooper X2, offers all the comfort of a stroller that has an umbrella design, but in a body that's comparable in size to a full-size stroller. This type of stroller is fast replacing the traditional double umbrella, and might be the best choice if you need a versatile stroller that is lightweight and easy to carry around. Most of the double umbrella strollers we recommend are side-by-side models. The exception is the Kinderwagon Hop, a tandem umbrella stroller that's extremely light and easy to fold (though it's also quite small in width). If you're looking to buy a cheap simple, minimalist, no-frills umbrella stroller that you can throw in your trunk or back pack for quick trips, we recommend this one. It comes with two hanging storage bag on the back of each seat, as well as cup holders for the parents. It's so bare bones that it's not going to allow your kids to get through an airport without making them cranky—but it can to make the trip more comfortable. Comfortable Seats Most umbrella strollers don't feature any bells and whistles, because they're designed to perform one task: get two kids from one location to B. They usually come with comfortable, spacious seats but no reclining options or all terrain wheels. The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 is the one exception. It is a small and light double umbrella stroller with two seats weighing only 18 pounds. This makes it a great option for families who travel. It's got a fantastic suspension, a massive three-panel canopy that is able to shield kids from the sun, and plenty of storage space in both seats, though not as much as our top selections. It also has the crucial 5-point safety harnesses in both seats, as well as peek-a-boo windows in their canopy. The G-Link does not have the bellybar or snack tray we'd love see on our top choices. But those features aren’t essential to an umbrella stroller. Like any umbrella stroller it must be handled with caution to avoid getting your fingers stuck in hinges and mechanisms. The seats in a double umbrella stroller are typically side by side, but there are some models that are inline (one seat behind the other). Inline models are easier to navigate through doorways than models that are side by side, but their seating arrangements could cause your kids to argue over which is the best seat. This issue was pretty equally split among our previous test subjects and it is a personal choice. Safety When choosing a stroller for your child, safety is the most important consideration. The design of a double stroller umbrella can determine its performance. Although it's difficult to find a light double stroller that can provide the same level of safety as the full-sized strollers, a few models are close. They typically come with 5-point harnesses with foot rests, calf and calf straps for children, and an extendable, UPF 50+ sun visor. They are usually narrower and lighter compared to other double umbrella strollers. This makes them easier to maneuver in tight spaces like airports or on city streets. Certain models, like the Kinderwagon Hop, are side-by-sides and are especially easy to maneuver through tight spaces. This stroller is perfect for parents traveling with children and who need a convenient and quick method of getting around. It is also compact enough to fit in a trunk. Another option worth considering is the UPPAbaby G-Link 2, which is among the most light double umbrella strollers that we've test. It's a surprising sturdy design for an umbrella style product. It also features an enormous storage basket that is easily accessible with reclining seats, as well as the window that peeks out. The seat can also support 35 lbs. and is able to meet Disney stroller specifications. double infant strollers , such as the Jeep PowerGlide double stroller, are more minimalist in their design and may not come with the same features. They are light and can be used as backups or occasional travel. They are also less expensive than renting one for a full vacation or trip. They are also easy to lift, carry and fold.
