The more features you choose the more weighty the stroller. Also, because of the way these strollers are able to open and close it is important to be careful not to let little fingers catch on frames or hinges, particularly if your child is sitting in a seat or a chair.

They also come with 5-point safety harnesses that are on both sides, leg rests and reclining seats. Other key factors to consider are whether or not you require a tray for your child and car seat attachment capabilities and how much storage space each seat offers.

This makes them easy to carry, lift and store when you don't need or can't bring your larger stroller due to a reason (traveling on an airplane, exploring an unfamiliar city, or visiting grandma).

However, it can make the trip more enjoyable.

Comfortable Seats

The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 stands out. It is a small and light double umbrella stroller that comes with two seats that weigh just 18 pounds. This makes it a great choice for travelers. It's got a fantastic suspension, a large three-panel canopy that easily shields kids from the sun, and a decent amount of storage space in both seats, though not as many as our top selections. It comes with 5-point safety belts in both seats, as well as an open-air window in the canopy.

The G-Link lacks the bellybar and snack tray that we'd like to see on our top picks. But these features aren't essential to an umbrella stroller. Like all terrain double buggy umbrella strollers, the G-Link must be handled with attention to avoid getting fingers trapped in the hinges and mechanisms.

In most double umbrella strollers, the seats are side-by-side. However there are models that feature inline seating (one seat is in front of the other). Inline models are simpler to navigate through doorways than models that are side by side, but their seating arrangements can cause your children to fight over which seat. This was pretty equally split among our previous test participants It really is a personal choice.

They are also usually narrower and lighter than other double umbrella strollers, making them easier to maneuver in tight spaces like airports or streets in cities.
