Other lightweight options like the Joovy Kooper X2, offer more bells and whistles than you would expect from a double pushchairs stroller umbrella. It also offers the ability to provide a more comfortable ride for both kids thanks to padded seats as well as a deeper recline on each seat. It's important to remember, though, that the more features you select, the more the stroller weighs. Additionally, due to the way strollers open and close you'll need to be cautious not to let tiny fingers touch frames or hinges, particularly when your child is seated in a seat.

There are two types of umbrellas that are lightweight that have a few features, and those that provide a number of convenience and comfort features in addition to their small size and lightweight weight. Some of the better examples include large pop-out umbrellas with SPF 50, peekaboo windows and padding seats, 5-point safety harnesses in both seats, reclining seats, and adjustable leg rests. Other key factors to consider are whether or not you want a tray for parents and car seat attachment capabilities and how much storage space each seat has.

The most basic umbrella strollers fold up like an umbrella and weigh less than other kinds. They are simple to carry, pushchairsandprams lift and store away which makes them perfect for those times when you do not want to take your full-size stroller for any reason (traveling by plane, touring in a foreign country, or visiting grandma). They typically come with fewer features than an all-inclusive stroller, but they should provide the essential features you need like the sun canopy and storage.

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 extremely lightweight and easy to fold (though it's also a bit narrow). If you're looking for a low-cost, simple, no-frills double umbrella stroller that you can throw in your trunk or back pack for short trips, we strongly recommend this one. It comes with two storage bins that hang from the bags at 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. But it will make the trip more comfortable.

Comfortable Seats

The majority of umbrella strollers don't come with any bells and whistles because they're designed to perform one task: take two children from one location to B. They typically come with comfortable, spacious seats, but they don't have recline options or all terrain wheels.

The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 stands out. It is a compact and lightweight double umbrella stroller that comes with two seats that weigh only 18 pounds. This makes it an ideal option for those who travel. It has a great suspension, a large three-panel canopy that easily shields kids from the sun, and plenty of storage space in both seats, but not quite as much as our top selections. It also has the crucial 5-point safety harnesses in both seats as well as windows that peek out in their canopy.

The G-Link lacks the bellybar and snack tray we'd love see on our top picks. However, these features aren't necessary for umbrella strollers. Like any umbrella stroller, it needs to be used with care so fingers, whether your own or a child's--don't get trapped in the folding frame hinges and mechanisms.

The seats in a double umbrella stroller are usually side by side however there are some models that are inline (one seat behind the other). Inline models can be easier to maneuver in doorways than side-byside models, but they often have a disparity between the seating options that can cause your children to argue over who has the best seat. Our previous testers were pretty equally divided on this issue, so it's really an individual decision.

Safety

The safety of your children must be the top consideration when choosing a stroller, and the design of double umbrella strollers 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 close. These strollers typically have 5-point harnesses and feet and calf rests for children, as well being able to extend UPF 50+ sunvisor. They are typically also narrower and lighter than other double umbrella strollers which makes them easier to maneuver in tight spaces such as airports or city streets.

Some models, like the Kinderwagon Hop, are side-by-sides and are particularly easy to maneuver through tight spaces. This stroller is perfect for parents who are traveling with children and who need a convenient and quick method of getting around. It's also compact enough to fit comfortably in a trunk or storage space.

Another model worth looking into is the UPPAbaby G-Link 2, which is among the most lightweight double umbrella strollers we've test. It has a very robust design for an umbrella-style stroller and has large, easy-to-access storage basket, reclining seats and a peek-a-boo view. The seat is also able to hold 35 lbs and is able to meet Disney stroller dimensions.

Other models, like the Jeep PowerGlide double stroller, are more bare-bones in design and may not come with the same features. However, these strollers are still extremely light and can be utilized as a backup for travel purposes on occasion. They are also much cheaper than renting a stroller for the duration of a trip or vacation. They're easy to fold, lift, transport and store away.
