While they don't have the whistles, bells, and storage space of full-size strollers, they do have large canopy areas and reclining seats.
Many families choose a light double umbrella stroller because it's an ideal stroller for traveling. It is easy to fold and fits in the majority of trunks and carry-on bags for airplanes.

Some of the top double umbrella strollers, such as the UPPAbaby G-Link 2, have certain features that you can't find on the lighter options.

Other lightweight options such as the Joovy Kooper X2, offer more bells and whistles than one would expect from a double stroller umbrella, such as a more comfy ride for both children thanks to the padded seats and more reclined seat. It's important to note, though, that the more features you select the more your stroller weighs. Additionally, due to the way strollers can be closed and opened, you'll want to be cautious not to let tiny fingers catch on frames or hinges, especially when your child is in either seat.

There are two kinds of umbrellas that are lightweight: those that have very little features and those that offer many options for comfort and convenience in addition to their small double buggy size. Some of the most effective examples are large pop-out umbrellas, with SPF 50, peekaboo windows and padded seats. They also come with 5-point safety harnesses that are on both sides, adjustable leg rests and reclined seats. Other important aspects to consider are whether or not you want a tray for parents or car seat attachment and how much storage space each seat offers.

This stroller weighs only 18 lbs and includes an easy-to-carry strap that can be schlepped easily in the trunk of your car or a front closet when not in use.

Another highly recommended option is the new Kinderwagon Hop, a super narrow tandem umbrella stroller that's ultralight and easy to navigate through doorways. The model was removed from the market for a while, but is back in production and worth a look. It also has three panels of canopy that provide better sun protection than smaller models.
Easy to Fold
The simplest umbrella strollers collapse like an umbrella and weigh much less than other types of strollers. They are easy to carry, lift and store away, making them ideal for those times when you aren't able to carry your full-size pram for whatever reason (traveling by plane, touring in a new country, visiting grandma). They typically aren't as well-equipped as a full-featured stroller, but they should offer the basic features you require like storage and a sun canopy.
The most recent version of the UPPAbaby G-Link 2 is lighter and narrower than the predecessor, and has an improved front wheel that increases the maneuverability and pushability. It's a great option for a double stroller. And it's approved by Disney!
A double tri-folded stroller, such as the Joovy Kooper X2 offers all the convenience and comfort of an umbrella stroller within an appearance that is similar to the size of a full-size stroller. This kind of stroller is replacing the traditional pushchairs double umbrella stroller. It may be your ideal choice if you're seeking a light, multi-purpose stroller.
Most of the double umbrella strollers that we recommend are side-by-side models. The exception is the Kinderwagon Hop, a tandem umbrella stroller that's super light and easy to fold (though it's also a bit narrow). If you're looking for a low-cost simple, basic, no-frills double buggy with carrycot umbrella stroller that you can throw in your trunk or back pack for quick trips, we recommend this model. It comes with two hanging storage bags on the backs of each seat as well as cup holders for parents. It's so basic, it may not get your children through an airport without making an oath. However, it can make your trip more enjoyable.
Comfortable Seats
Most umbrella strollers aren't equipped with a lot of bells and whistles because they're designed with one purpose: to get two children from one place to the other. That means they usually offer seats that are comfortable and roomy however they don't come with reclining options or wheels that are all-terrain.
The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 stands out. It's a light and compact double umbrella stroller with two seats that weigh only 18 pounds each, making it a great option for travelers (it meets Disney size requirements). It has a huge canopy with three panels that shields children from the sun. Both seats offer plenty of storage but not as much as some of our top choices. It also has the important 5-point safety harnesses on both seats and peek-a-boo windows in their canopies.
The G-Link isn't equipped with the bellybar or snack tray that we'd like to see on our top picks. But these features aren't essential for an umbrella stroller. Like all umbrella strollers, it must be handled with caution to avoid getting your fingers caught in the hinges and mechanisms.
In most double umbrella strollers with seats, they are side-byside. However there are models that feature inline seating (one seat is in front of the other). Inline models are more convenient to maneuver in doorways than side-by-side models, however they usually have a difference in seating options which could cause your kids to argue over who gets the best seat. Our previous test subjects were equally divided on this issue, so it's really an individual choice.
Safety
The safety of your children is a primary consideration when selecting a stroller and the design of double umbrella strollers can affect the quality of its operation. While it's hard to find a light double stroller that offers the same level of safety as larger strollers, some models are comparable. These strollers usually have 5-point harnesses as well as foot and calf rests for children, and an extendable UPF 50+ sun visor. They tend to be smaller and lighter than other double umbrella strollers. This makes them easier to maneuver in tight spaces such as 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 a great choice for parents who are traveling with young children and need a quick and easy way to get around. It's also compact enough to fit comfortably into a trunk or storage space.
The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 is another model worth looking into. It is one of the lightest double strollers we have tested. It is surprisingly sturdy design for an umbrella-style product. It also has a large, easily accessible storage basket, reclining chairs, and a peekaboo window. The seat can also hold 35 lbs. and is able to meet Disney stroller requirements.
Other models, like the Jeep PowerGlide Double push Chair stroller, are more basic in appearance and might not have the same features. These strollers are lightweight and can be used for backups or even for occasional travel. They are also much cheaper than renting a stroller for an entire vacation or for a trip. They are also easy to lift, carry and fold.
