The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 is an excellent double umbrella stroller, that's well-constructed and folds compactly. It comes with large umbrellas and a large storage container. It's also easy to move.
Lightweight
The top double umbrella strollers are small and lightweight, but still provide plenty. They're not as heavy as a traditional stroller or jogger, and are typically smaller when folded, too. They lack the bells and whistles you'll find on larger strollers, however they often provide large canopies, ample storage space, and seating that reclines.
A compact double umbrella stroller is a favorite choice for families who travel together. It's easy to fold and fits in most trunks or carry-on bags for airplanes. It is also a great alternative for narrow doors and busy streets. It's also less expensive than a "travel stroller" with more features you might use on a daily basis.
Some of the best double strollers, such as the UPPAbaby G-Link 2 have features you won't find on cheaper models. This double umbrella stroller, homesite, features hanging storage pockets, snack and toys trays on each seat, as well as two cup holders for parents. The streamlined design makes this double umbrella stroller among the smallest available. It also has an extra wide canopy to protect both seats.
Other options that are lightweight like the Joovy Kooper X2, have more of the bells and whistles that you would expect from a double umbrella stroller. It also offers a more comfortable ride for both children thanks to padded seating and a more comfortable recline in each seat. The more features you choose the more heavy the stroller. Also, due to the way these strollers are able to open and close it is important to be careful not to let your little fingers get caught on hinges or frames, especially when your child is seated in a seat or a chair.
Compact
The smallest double umbrella strollers that fold are easy to maneuver and fit well in tight spaces. They're a great option for parents who plan to use their stroller often on the sidewalks, in shopping centers, or to visit tourist attractions such as the zoo, aquarium or museums. These compact strollers that are lightweight can also be great for commuting or as a substitute for the heavier, more feature-packed stroller when traveling.
There are two kinds of lightweight double jogging stroller umbrellas: those that have very little features and those that offer a variety of features and comfort options in addition to their small size. Some of the most effective examples include large pop-out umbrellas with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows, padding seats and 5-point safety harnesses for both seats with reclining seats, as well as 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 brand new Kinderwagon Hop is a tandem umbrella stroller with a narrow width that is also ultralight and easy to navigate through doors. The model was out of the market for a while but is now back in production and worth checking out. It also comes with a bigger three-panel canopy that offers better sun protection than the smaller, basic models in this review.
Easy to Fold
The simplest umbrella strollers collapse like umbrellas and weigh less than other kinds of strollers. They are simple to carry, lift and stow and are ideal when you don't want to bring your full-size stroller due to any reason (traveling by plane, touring in a new country, visiting grandma). They usually have fewer features than an all-inclusive stroller, but they should have the essential features you need like a sun canopy and storage.

A double tri-folded stroller, such as the Joovy Kooper X2 offers all the convenience and convenience of an umbrella stroller in a body similar to a large-sized stroller. This kind of stroller is replacing the classic double umbrella stroller. It's probably the best option if you are searching for a light and multi-purpose stroller.
The majority of double running stroller 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 quite narrow. If you're looking for a cheap simple, minimalist, no-frills umbrella stroller you can toss in your back pack or trunk for short trips, we recommend this one. It comes with two storage bins that hang from the bag on the back of each seat, as well as cup holders for the parents. It's so bare bones that it's not going to help your children get through the airport without getting them cranky, but it will help make the journey more comfortable.
Comfortable Seats
Most umbrella strollers don't feature much in the way of bells and whistles since they're made to perform one task: get two kids from one location to B. That's why they generally have seats that are comfortable and spacious, but don't have reclining options or all-terrain wheels.
The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 stands out. It is a lightweight double buggy and compact double umbrella stroller with two seats that weigh just 18 lbs. This makes it an ideal option for families who travel. It's got a fantastic suspension, a massive three-panel canopy that easily shields children from the sun and a decent amount of storage space in both seats, but not as many as our top picks. It also has the crucial 5-point safety harnesses that are in both seats as well as windows that peek out in their canopies.
One drawback of the G-Link is that it does not have the belly bar and snack tray that we like to see in our top picks, but they aren't essential features for an umbrella stroller, anyway. Like any umbrella stroller it should be handled with caution to avoid getting your fingers trapped in the hinges and mechanisms.
In the majority of double umbrella strollers, the seats are side-by-side. However there are models that feature inline seating (one seat in front of the other). Inline models are easier to maneuver through doorways than side-by-side models, but they often have a disparity between seating features that could make your kids argue over who gets the better seat. Our previous test subjects were equally divided on this issue, so it's really an individual choice.
Safety
Your child's safety must be the top consideration when selecting a stroller and the design of double umbrella strollers can determine this aspect of its performance. Some models come close to providing the same level of safety as larger double strollers. They typically come with 5-point harnesses as well as feet and calf rests designed for children, as well being able to extend UPF 50+ sunvisor. They are also usually narrower and lighter than other double umbrella strollers, making 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 simple to maneuver through narrow spaces. This stroller is an excellent option for parents traveling with children and need a fast and convenient method of getting around. It's also compact enough to fit into the trunk of a car.
The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 is another model worth looking into. It is one of the most light double strollers that we have tested. It is surprisingly sturdy design for an umbrella product. It also has an enormous storage basket that is easily accessible as well as reclining chairs and an open window. The seat can also support 35 pounds. and meets Disney stroller requirements.
Other models, such as the Jeep PowerGlide Double Stroller, may be less basic in appearance and may not come with as many features. They are light and can be used as backups or for occasional travel. These strollers are also less expensive than renting one for a full vacation or trip. They're also easy to fold, lift, carry and store away.
