Choosing a Double Umbrella Stroller
When looking for a double umbrella stroller, it's crucial to assess your family's requirements and priorities. This will help streamline your choices and allow you to focus on the essential features.
The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 is an excellent double umbrella stroller that's well-manufactured and folds up compactly. It has large canopies as well as a huge storage bin, and is easy to maneuver.
Lightweight
The best double umbrella strollers can provide a lot of functionality in a compact, light package. They're not as heavy as a typical jogger or stroller and tend to be smaller when folded. They lack the bells and whistles you'll find on large strollers, but they often provide large canopies and plenty of storage space and seating that reclines.
A lightweight double umbrella stroller is a popular choice for families that travel together. It's easy to fold and fits in most trunks and airplane carry-on bags, and is generally the best compact double stroller option for navigating the narrow streets and narrow doors. It's also less expensive than the "travel stroller" with more features that can be used frequently.
Some of the top double strollers, such as the UPPAbaby G-Link 2 have features you won't find on cheaper models. This double umbrella stroller includes hanging storage pockets and trays in each seat to store kids' toys and snacks, as well as two cup holders for parents. The sleek design makes this double umbrella stroller one of the smallest available. It also has an extra-wide canopy to protect both seats.
Other lightweight options such as the Joovy Kooper X2, offer more bells and whistles than you would expect from a double stroller umbrella. It also offers more comfortable rides for both children thanks to padded seats as well as a more reclined seat. The more features you select, the heavier the stroller. Additionally, due to the way strollers can be closed and opened, you'll want to be careful not to let your little fingers catch on frames or hinges, especially when your child is seated in either seat.
Compact
The smallest double umbrella strollers, when folded are easy to maneuver and can be tucked away in tight spaces. They're a great option for parents who plan to take their stroller regularly on the sidewalks, in shopping centers, or to get around tourist attractions like the aquarium, zoo or museums. These compact strollers that are lightweight are also ideal for commutes or as a backup to the heavier, more feature-packed stroller when traveling.
There are two types of umbrellas that are lightweight that have a few features and those that include a number of convenience and comfort features, in addition to their compact size and lightweight weight. Some of the best examples include large pop-out umbrellas with SPF 50, peekaboo windows and padded seats. They also have 5-point safety harnesses that are on both sides, adjustable leg rests and reclined seats. 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 offers.
The Delta Children LX Double Umbrella is a great example of a simple, no-frills option that is extremely lightweight and incredibly affordable. The stroller weighs only 18 pounds, comes with an excellent carrying strap and can be stored in the trunk of your vehicle or front hall closet. The front wheels feature precision technology and swivel, providing a smooth ride and easier steering. Another option to consider is the new Kinderwagon Hop, a super narrow tandem umbrella stroller that's also lightweight and easy to maneuver through doorways. This model was out production for a couple of decades however it's now back and is worth looking into. It also comes with a larger three-panel canopy to provide better sun protection than the less-than-perfect models in this review.
Easy to Fold
The most basic umbrella strollers fold down like an umbrella, and they weigh less than other models. This makes them easy to carry, lift, and stow for use when you don't need or don't have a larger stroller due to a reason (traveling on an airplane, touring the city of your choice, or visiting grandma). These strollers are often not as feature-rich as full-featured models, but should still provide the basic features like storage space and a sun canopy.
The G-Link 2's newest version is slimmer, lighter and has an improved wheel structure on the front, which improves its maneuverability and pushability. It's a great choice for a double stroller. And it's approved by Disney!
A double running stroller (read this post here) tri-fold stroller like the Joovy Kooper X2, offers all the features of an umbrella-style stroller but with a body comparable in size to a full-size stroller. This type of stroller is quickly replacing the standard double umbrella, and might be the best choice if you need a versatile lightweight stroller to travel with.
Most of the double umbrella strollers we recommend are side-by-side models. The Kinderwagon Hop is an umbrella tandem stroller that's light, easy to fold and very small in width. If you're looking for a low-cost, simple, no-frills double umbrella stroller that you can throw in your back pack or trunk for quick trips, we highly recommend this one. It comes with two hanging storage bags on the back of each seat, as well as cup holders for the parents. It's so basic that it's unlikely to allow your kids to get through an airport without causing them to be cranky, but it will help make the journey more enjoyable.
Comfortable Seats
Most umbrella strollers aren't fitted with a lot of bells and whistles because they're designed with one goal: to transport two children from A to B. That means they usually offer seats that are comfortable and roomy, but don't have reclining options or all-terrain wheels.
The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 stands out. It's a light and compact double umbrella stroller that has two seats that weigh just 18 lbs each, making it an ideal choice for anyone who travels (it is in line with Disney size requirements). It has a great suspension, a massive three-panel canopy that easily shields kids from the sun, and a decent amount of storage space in both seats, but not as many as our top choices. It has 5-point safety belts on both seats, and a the ability to peek into the canopy.
The G-Link isn't equipped with the bellybar or snack tray we'd love see on our top choices. However, these features aren't necessary for umbrella strollers. Like any umbrella stroller it must be handled with care to avoid fingers getting stuck in hinges and mechanisms.
The seats in a double umbrella stroller are typically side by side however there are some models that are inline (one seat behind the other). Inline models are simpler to maneuver through doorways than side by side by side double stroller models however their seating arrangement could cause your kids to fight over the best seat. Our previous test subjects were evenly split on this issue and it's an individual decision.
Safety
When you are choosing a stroller for your child Safety should be the top priority. The design of an umbrella for a double stroller can affect its performance. Although it's difficult to find a lightweight double stroller that provides the same level of safety as the full-sized strollers, a few models are close. These strollers usually have 5-point harnesses with foot rests, calf and calf straps for the kids, and an extendable, UPF 50+ sun visor. They tend to be narrower and lighter than other double umbrella strollers. This makes them more maneuverable in tight spaces like airports or city streets.
Certain models, such as the Kinderwagon Hop are side-byside and are easy to push in tight spaces. This stroller is an excellent choice for parents who are traveling with young children and need a fast and easy way to get around. It's also small enough to fit easily into the trunk or in a storage space.
The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 is another model worth looking into. It is one of the most light double strollers that we have examined. It is surprisingly sturdy design for an umbrella product. It also features an enormous storage basket that is easily accessible as well as reclining chairs and the window that peeks out. The seat can also hold 35 pounds. and is in line with Disney stroller specifications.
Other models, like the Jeep PowerGlide double stroller, are more basic in appearance and may not offer as many features. However these strollers are extremely light and can be used as a backup or for occasional travel purposes. 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, transport and store away.
