Choosing a Double Umbrella Stroller
When you are looking for a double umbrella stroller it is important to consider your family's needs and preferences. This will simplify your options and allow you to focus on the essential features.
Uppababy G-Link 2 is an excellent, upscale double umbrella stroller, that's well-constructed and folds up compactly. It has large canopies as well as a huge storage bin and is easy to move around.
double pushchair are small and light, yet offer a lot. They're not as heavy as a typical stroller or jogger and tend to be smaller when folded. They don't have the bells or whistles you'll find on large strollers, but they usually come with large canopy and plenty of storage space and reclined seats.
A lightweight double umbrella stroller is a favorite choice for families traveling. It's easy to fold and fits in most trunks or carry-on bags for planes. It's also a great option for narrow doorways and busy streets. It's cheaper than more feature-rich "travel stroller" that you might use for everyday walks.
Some of the best double strollers, like the UPPAbaby G-Link 2 have features that aren't found on the lighter models. This double umbrella stroller has hanging storage pockets as well as trays for toys and snacks in each seat and two cup holders for parents. The sleek design makes this double umbrella stroller among the most compact on the market. It also comes with an extra-wide canopy to safeguard both seats.
Other options that are lightweight such as the Joovy Kooper X2, offer more bells and whistles than you'd expect from a double stroller umbrella, including more comfortable rides for both children due to padded seats as well as a higher recline for each seat. The more features you select the more heavy the stroller. You'll also want to ensure that your child doesn't put their fingers on the hinges or frames of these strollers because of the way they open and close.
Compact
The smallest double umbrella strollers that fold are easy to maneuver and fit in tight spaces. They're a great option for parents who intend to use their stroller often on the sidewalks, in shopping malls or to get around tourist attractions such as the zoo, aquarium or museums. These compact strollers that are lightweight can also be great for commuting or as a backup to a heavier, more features-packed stroller while traveling.
There are two types of umbrellas that are lightweight one of which is one with few features, and those that come with a variety of features and comfort options in addition to their small size. Some of the better examples include large pop-out umbrellas with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows and cushioned seats with 5-point safety harnesses in both seating areas, reclining seats, and adjustable leg rests. It is also important to consider whether you want a car seat attachment, a parent tray and the amount of storage space that is available in each seat.
The Delta Children LX Double Umbrella is a fantastic example of a basic, no-frills option that is incredibly light and incredibly affordable. The stroller weighs only 18 lbs and includes a convenient carrying strap that can be schlepped easily into the trunk of your car, or a front closet when not in use. The front wheels are made of high-tech and can swivel to give you more comfort and ease of steering. The new Kinderwagon Hop is a tandem umbrella stroller that has a narrow width, which is also ultralight and easy for you to navigate through doorways. The model was out of the market for a while, but is returning to production and is worth checking out. It also has a three-panel canopy, which provides more sun protection than smaller models.
Easy to Fold
The simplest umbrella strollers fold like an umbrella and weigh a lot less than other kinds of strollers. They are easy to carry, lift and stow and are ideal when you aren't able to carry your full-size stroller due to any reason (traveling via plane, traveling to a foreign country, visiting grandma). They often come with fewer features than an all-inclusive stroller, but they should offer the basic functionality you need for storage and a sun canopy.
The UPPAbaby G-Link 2's latest version is slimmer, lighter and has an efficient wheel structure on the front, which improves its maneuverability and pushability. It's a great option for a stroller to travel with that can fit two kids. It's Disney approved!
A double tri-folded stroller, such as the Joovy Kooper X2 offers all the convenience and comfort of an umbrella stroller in an appearance that is similar to a large-sized stroller. This kind of stroller is replacing the traditional double umbrella stroller. It may be your ideal choice if you're searching for a light and flexible stroller.
The majority of double umbrella strollers we recommend are side by side models. The exception is the Kinderwagon Hop, a tandem umbrella stroller that's lightweight and easy to fold (though it's also relatively narrow). If you're looking for a low-cost simple, basic, no-frills double umbrella stroller that you can put in your back pack or trunk for quick trips, we strongly recommend this one. It includes two storage bags that hang from the bag on the back of each seat, as well as cup holders for parents. It's so basic, you might not be able to get your kids through the airport without causing noise. However, it can make your journey more enjoyable.
Comfortable Seats
Most umbrella strollers don't feature much in the way of bells and whistles because they're designed to perform one task: get two kids from one location to B. They usually have comfortable, spacious seats but no reclining options or all-terrain wheels.
The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 stands out. It's a surprisingly light and compact double umbrella stroller that has two seats that weigh only 18 lbs each, making it a fantastic choice for those who travel (it does meet Disney size requirements). It's got a fantastic suspension, a huge three-panel canopy that shields kids from the sun, and plenty of storage space in both seats, but not as many as our top choices. It also comes with the essential 5-point safety harnesses on both seats and peek-a-boo windows in their canopies.
The only downside to the G-Link is that it doesn't have the belly bar and snack tray that we like to see in our top picks, however they aren't the most important features to have on an umbrella stroller, anyway. As with any umbrella stroller, it must be used with care so fingers, whether your own or that of a child get caught in the hinges of the frame that fold and mechanisms.
The seats in a double umbrella stroller are usually side by side however, there are a few models that are inline (one seat behind the other). Inline models are easier to navigate through doorways than models that are side by side however their seating arrangement could cause your kids to fight over the best seat. Our previous testers were pretty evenly divided on this matter, so it's really an individual choice.
Safety
The safety of your children must be the top consideration when selecting a stroller and the design of a double umbrella stroller can make or break the quality of its operation. Some models are close to providing the same level safety as larger double stroller s. These strollers typically have 5-point harnesses with foot rests, calf and calf straps for children, as well as an extendable, UPF 50+ sun visor. They are typically also narrower and lighter than other double umbrella strollers making them easier to maneuver through tight spaces such as airports or city streets.
Some models, like the Kinderwagon Hop are side-byside and are easy to push in tight spaces. This stroller is perfect for parents who travel with children and who need a convenient and quick way to get around. It is also compact enough to fit in the trunk.
The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 is another model that is worth considering. It is among the most light double strollers that we have tested. It is a robust design for an umbrella-style product and has large, easy-to-access storage basket, reclining seats and a peek-a-boo window. The seat also holds 35 lbs and meets Disney stroller size requirements.
Other models, like the Jeep PowerGlide double stroller, are more basic in appearance and may not come with as many features. They are light and can be used for backups or for occasional travel. These strollers are also cheaper than renting one for a full vacation or trip. They are also easy to lift, carry and fold.
