The stroller weighs just 18 lbs, has a handy carrying strap and can be stored in the trunk of your vehicle or in the front hall closet.

Another option that is highly recommended is the brand new Kinderwagon Hop, a super narrow tandem umbrella stroller that's light and easy to maneuver through doors. The model was out of production for a couple of decades but is now back and worth checking out. It also comes with a three-panel canopy, which provides more sun protection than smaller models.

Easy to Fold

The most basic umbrella strollers fold like umbrellas, and they weigh less than other types. They are easy to lift, carry and store and are ideal when you can't or don't want to bring your full-size pram for whatever reason (traveling by plane, touring a foreign country, visiting grandma). These strollers are usually less well-equipped than fully-featured models, but they will offer the essentials including storage and a sun canopy.

Comfortable Seats

Most umbrella strollers don't have any bells and whistles because they are intended to do one thing: transport two children from point A to B. That means they usually offer seats that are comfortable and spacious however they don't come with reclining options or wheels that are all-terrain.

The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 is the one exception. It is a lightweight and compact double umbrella stroller that comes with two seats that weigh just 18 pounds. This makes it a fantastic choice for travelers. It has excellent suspension, a massive three-panel canopy that is able to shield kids from the sun, and a decent amount of storage space in both seats, though not as much as our top selections. It comes with 5-point safety belts on both seats, as well as the ability to peek into the canopy.

One drawback of the G-Link is that it doesn't have the belly bar and snack tray that we like to see in our top picks, but those aren't the most important features to have on an umbrella stroller, anyway. Like all umbrella strollers, it must be handled with attention to avoid getting fingers caught in the hinges and mechanisms.

In most double umbrella strollers they have seats that are side-by-side. However there are models that have inline seating (one seat in front of the other). Inline models are easier to navigate through doorways than models with side by sides, but their seating arrangements can cause your children to fight over which seat. This issue was fairly equally split among our previous test subjects It really comes down to an individual choice.

Safety

Some models are close to providing the same level of security as larger double strollers. These strollers usually have 5-point harnesses with foot rests, calf and calf straps for children, and an extendable UPF 50+ sun visor. They tend to be narrower and lighter than other double umbrella strollers. This makes them easier to maneuver through tight spaces like airports and 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 their children and require a quick and easy way to get around. It is also compact enough to fit in the trunk of a car.

The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 is another model worth looking into. It is among the most lightweight double strollers we've test-driven. It's a surprising sturdy design for an umbrella product. It also features a large storage basket that is easily accessible with reclining seats, as well as a peekaboo window. The seat also holds 35 lbs and meets Disney stroller size requirements.

Other models, such as the Jeep PowerGlide double stroller, are more minimalist in their design and may not offer as many features.
