The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 double umbrella stroller is a high-quality, well-designed product that folds up compactly. It comes with large umbrellas as well as a huge storage bin and is very simple to move.

Lightweight

The top double umbrella strollers offer many functions in a compact, light package. They're not as heavy as a traditional stroller or jogger and tend to be smaller when folded. They lack the bells and whistles you'll find on larger strollers, however they usually come with large canopy, ample storage space, and seating that reclines.

Many families opt for an umbrella stroller that is lightweight because it's a great travel stroller. It's easy to fold, can be tucked away in the majority of trunks and airline carry-on bags, and is generally a good choice for navigating narrow sidewalks and tight doors. It's also less expensive than an extra-featured "travel stroller" which you could use for your daily walks.

Some of the top double strollers, such as the UPPAbaby G-Link 2 have features that you won't see on lighter options. This double umbrella stroller has hanging storage pockets, trays for toys and snacks in each seat, and two cup holders for parents. The streamlined design makes this double umbrella stroller one of the most compact on the market. It also comes with an extra wide canopy to protect both seats.

Other lightweight options, such as the Joovy Kooper X2, offer more bells and whistles than you'd expect from a double stroller umbrella. It also offers more comfortable rides for both children due to padded seats and a more reclined seat. It's important to note, though, that the more features you pick the more the stroller will weigh. Also, you should be careful that your child doesn't put their fingers on the frames or hinges of these strollers because of the way they open and close.

Compact

When folded, the smallest double umbrella strollers are easily maneuverable and fit into small spaces. These strollers are a great option for parents who often use them on sidewalks, shopping malls, or to get around tourist destinations like the zoo and aquarium. These compact, lightweight strollers are also ideal for commuting, or as a backup to a heavier stroller with more features while traveling.

There are two general styles of double umbrellas that are lightweight that have a few features, and those that provide a number of convenience and comfort features in addition to their compact size and light weight. Some of the most effective examples include large pop-out umbrellas that come with SPF 50, peekaboo windows and cushioned seats. They also have five-point safety harnesses on both sides, adjustable leg rests as well as reclining seats. Other key factors to consider are whether or not you want a parent tray or car seat attachment and the amount of storage space each seat comes with.

The stroller weighs only 18 lbs, has an easy-to-carry strap and can be put in the trunk of your vehicle or in the front closet of your home. The front wheels are high-tech and can swivel to give you an easier ride and smoother steering. The brand new Kinderwagon Hop is a tandem umbrella stroller with a super-narrow width that is also ultralight and easy for you to maneuver through doors. The model was out of the market for a while, but is back in production and is worth a look. It also comes with a larger three-panel canopy that offers better sun protection than the smaller, basic models in this review.

Easy to Fold

The simplest umbrella strollers fold like an umbrella, and they weigh less than other types. They are easy to lift, carry, and stow for use when you don't need or can't bring your larger stroller due to a reason (traveling on an airplane, traveling in an unfamiliar city, or visiting grandma). These strollers are often not as feature-rich as full-featured models, but they will offer the essentials like storage space and a sun canopy.

The latest version of the UPPAbaby G-Link 2 is lighter and narrower than its predecessor, and has a more efficient front wheel that increases the maneuverability and pushability. It's an excellent option for a double travel stroller--and it's Disney-approved!

A double tri-fold stroller like the Joovy Kooper X2, offers all the features of a stroller with an umbrella, but in a body that's similar in size to a full-size stroller. This type of stroller is rapidly replacing the standard double umbrella model, and it may be your best choice for a flexible lightweight stroller for travel.

Most double stroller for twins umbrella strollers that we recommend are side-by-side models. The Kinderwagon Hop is an umbrella tandem stroller that is super lightweight, easy to fold and very narrow. This is a great option if you want a simple, cheap double umbrella stroller you can easily put in your trunk for short trips. It comes with two storage bags hanging from the backs of each seat and cup holders for parents. It's so simple, it may not get your children through an airport without making a fuss. But it will make the trip more enjoyable.

Comfortable Seats

The majority of umbrella strollers don't come with a variety of bells and whistles because they are designed for one purpose: to get two children from A to B. They usually have comfortable, spacious seats, but no recline options or all-terrain wheels.

The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 is the only exception. It is a lightweight and compact double umbrella stroller that comes with two seats weighing only 18 lbs. This makes it a fantastic choice for travelers. It has excellent suspension, a large three-panel canopy that shields children from the sun and plenty of storage space in both seats, but not as much as our top selections. It has 5-point safety belts on both seats, and a peek-a-boo window in the canopy.

The G-Link lacks the bellybar and snack tray we'd love to see on our top choices. But those features aren’t essential for an umbrella stroller. As with any umbrella stroller, it must be used with care to ensure that fingers - whether your own or children's get stuck in the folding frame hinges and mechanisms.

The seats in double umbrella strollers are typically side by side however, there are a few models that are inline (one seat behind the other). Inline models are more convenient to maneuver through doorways than side-by-side models, but they usually have a difference between the seating options which could cause your kids to argue over who has the better seat. Our previous testers were pretty evenly split on this issue It's an individual choice.

Safety

When you are choosing a stroller for your child, safety is the most important consideration. The design of the double stroller umbrella can make or break its performance. Although it's difficult to find a lightweight stokke double stroller stroller that offers the same level of safety as full-sized strollers, some models do come close. These strollers usually have 5-point harnesses and feet and calf rests for kids, as well as an extendable UPF 50+ sunvisor. They are usually also smaller and lighter than other double umbrella strollers making them easier to maneuver through tight spaces such as airports or streets in cities.

Some models, like the Kinderwagon Hop are side-byside and are easy to push in small spaces. This stroller is an excellent option for parents who are traveling with young children and require a quick and convenient way to get around. It's also small enough to fit into the trunk of a car.

Another model worth looking into is the UPPAbaby G-Link 2, which is one of the most light double umbrella strollers that we've have tested. It is surprisingly sturdy design for an umbrella product. It also features a large, easily accessible storage basket as well as reclining chairs and the window that peeks out. The seat also holds 35 pounds and is in line with Disney stroller size requirements.

Other models, like the Jeep PowerGlide double car seat stroller Stroller, might be simpler in design and not have as many features. These strollers are lightweight and can be used for backups or occasional travel. They are also much cheaper than renting the stroller for a whole vacation or trip. They are also easy to fold, lift, transport, and stow away.
