12 Companies That Are Leading The Way In Double Umbrella Stroller

Choosing a Double Umbrella Stroller

It is important to think about your family's needs and priorities when shopping for a double stroller. This will help you narrow down your options and focus on the most essential features.

Uppababy G-Link 2 is an excellent double umbrella stroller that's well-manufactured and folds compactly. It has large canopies and large storage containers. It is also very easy to maneuver.

Lightweight

The best double umbrella strollers can provide lots of features in a small, light package. They're not as heavy as a conventional stroller or jogger, and they're usually smaller when folded. They don't have the bells or whistles you'll find on full-size strollers, but they usually come with large canopy, plenty of storage space, and seating that reclines.

Many families choose a light double umbrella stroller because it's an ideal stroller for travel. It's easy to fold, fits in the majority of trunks and carry-on bags, and is generally the best option for navigating narrow sidewalks and tight doors. It's also less expensive than a "travel stroller" with more features that you might use on a daily basis.

Some of the best double strollers, such as the UPPAbaby G-Link 2 have features that aren't found on the lighter models. This double umbrella stroller has hanging storage pockets, snack and toys trays in each seat and two cup holders for parents. The streamlined design makes this double umbrella stroller one of the smallest on the market. It also comes with an extra wide canopy to protect both seats.

A few other lightweight options, like the Joovy Kooper X2, have more bells and whistles you might expect from a double umbrella stroller, including a more comfortable ride for both kids due to the padding of the seats and a deeper recline in each seat. It's important to note, though, that the more features you select, the more the stroller will weigh. Also, due to the way that strollers can be closed and opened it is important to be cautious not to let tiny fingers touch hinges or frames, especially when your child is in either seat.

Compact

When folded when folded, the small double umbrella strollers are easily maneuverable and fit into tight spaces. They're a good option for parents who plan to use their stroller often on sidewalks, in shopping malls, or to get around tourist attractions like the aquarium, zoo or museums. These lightweight, compact strollers may also be ideal to commute in or as a backup to the heavier, more equipped stroller when traveling.

There are two types of lightweight double umbrella products: those with very few features and those that offer many convenience and comfort features, in addition to their compact size and light weight. Some of the best examples are large pop-out canopies with SPF 50, peekaboo windows, padded seats and 5-point safety harnesses for both seat areas, reclining seats, and adjustable leg rests. Other crucial aspects to take into consideration are whether or not you want a tray for parents, car seat attachment capability and how much storage space each seat comes with.

The Delta Children LX double pushchair with car seat Umbrella is an excellent example of the bare-bones minimalist stroller that is incredibly light and very affordable. This stroller weighs only 18 pounds and comes with a handy carrying strap that can be schlepped easily in the trunk of your car or a front hall closet when not in use. The front wheels are precision technology and can swivel to give you more comfort and ease of 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 navigate through doorways. The model was removed from the market for a while, but is back in production and is worth checking out. It also comes with a three-panel canopy that offers more sun protection than smaller models.

Easy to Fold

The most basic umbrella strollers fold down like umbrellas and weigh less than other types. This makes them easy to carry, lift and store when you don't want or can't bring your larger stroller due to a reason (traveling on an airplane, touring a foreign city, visiting grandma). These strollers are usually less well-equipped than fully-featured models, but should still provide the basic features, such as storage and a sun canopy.

The most recent version of the UPPAbaby G-Link 2 is lighter and narrower than its predecessor, with an improved front wheel that increases mobility and pushability. It's a great choice for a stroller to travel with that can accommodate two children. And it's Disney approved!

A double tri-folded stroller such as the Joovy Kooper X2 offers all the convenience and comfort of an umbrella stroller in the same form as the size of a full-size stroller. This class of stroller is fast replacing the classic double umbrella, and might be the best choice if you need a versatile lightweight stroller to travel with.

The majority of double umbrella strollers we recommend are side-by-side models. The Kinderwagon Hop is an umbrella tandem stroller that is super light, easy to fold and relatively narrow. This is a great option when you're looking for a basic inexpensive double umbrella stroller that you can easily throw in your trunk for short trips. It comes with two storage bags hanging from the backs of each seat and cup holders for the parents. It's so basic, you could not get your kids through an airport without making noise. However, it will make the trip more enjoyable.

Comfortable Seats

Most umbrella strollers don't feature many bells and whistles, because they are intended to do one thing: transport two children from point A to point B. They typically have comfortable, spacious seats, but they don't have recline options or all terrain wheels.

The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 stands out. It is a small and light nipper Double Buggy umbrella stroller that comes with two seats weighing only 18 pounds. This makes it a great option for those who travel. It's got a fantastic suspension, a large three-panel canopy that shields children from the sun and plenty of storage space in both seats, but not as much as our top choices. It has five-point safety belts in both seats, and a an open-air window in the canopy.

The G-Link lacks the bellybar and snack tray that we'd like to see on our top choices. However, these features aren't necessary for umbrella strollers. Like any umbrella stroller it must be handled with caution to avoid getting your fingers caught in the hinges and mechanisms.

In most double pushchair from birth umbrella strollers, the seats are side-by-side. However there are models that have inline seating (one seat in front of the other). Inline models can be easier to maneuver through doors than side-by-side models, however they typically have a gap in seating options that can cause your children to argue over who has the best double stroller seat. Our previous testers were evenly split on this issue, so it's really a personal decision.

Safety

The safety of your children is a primary consideration when choosing a stroller, and the design of a double umbrella stroller can affect this aspect of its performance. Although it's difficult to find a lightweight double stroller that can provide the same level of security as larger strollers, some models are comparable. They typically come with 5-point harnesses, calf and foot rests for the kids, and 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 such as airports or streets in cities.

Certain models, like the Kinderwagon Hop, are side-by-sides and are easy to push through small spaces. This stroller is ideal for parents who are traveling with young kids and needing a simple and quick way to get around. It's also small enough to fit comfortably into the trunk or in a storage space.

The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 is another model that is worth a look. It is one of the lightest double strollers we have test-driven. It has a very robust design for an umbrella and features an ample, easily accessible storage basket, reclining seats, and a peek-a-boo window. The seat is able to hold 35 lbs. 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 come with the same features. They are light and can be used for backups or occasional travel. They're also cheaper than renting the stroller for a whole trip or vacation. They are also easy to fold, lift, transport, and stow away.
