There are two types of double umbrellas that are lightweight: those that have very few features, and those that come with various options for comfort and convenience in addition to their compact size. Some of the better examples include nice-sized pop-out canopies with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows and padded seats with 5-point safety harnesses in both seat areas with reclining seats, as well as adjustable leg rests. You should also consider whether you would like an attachment for your car seat, a parent tray and the amount of storage space available in each seat.

They are simple to carry, lift and store away and are ideal when you can't or aren't able to carry your full-size stroller due to any reason (traveling on a plane, exploring in a new country, visiting grandma).

Most of the double umbrella strollers that we recommend are side-by-side models. The Kinderwagon Hop is an umbrella tandem stroller that is light, easy to fold and very narrow. This is a great choice if you want a simple, cheap double pushchair smallest double buggy umbrella stroller you can easily throw in your trunk for quick trips. It even comes with two storage bags hanging from the backs of each seat as well as cup holders for parents. It's so bare bones, it might not allow your kids to get through an airport without causing them to be cranky, but it can make the journey more comfortable.
Comfortable Seats
The majority of umbrella strollers don't come with any bells and whistles because they are intended to do one thing: get two kids from one location to B. That's why they generally have seats that are comfortable and roomy but do not have recline options or wheels that are all-terrain.
The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 is the only exception. It is a lightweight double pushchair and compact double umbrella stroller with two seats that weigh just 18 lbs. This makes it a great option for those who travel. It's got a fantastic suspension, a large 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 picks. It also has the important 5-point safety harnesses on both seats as well as windows that peek out in their canopies.
The only downside to the G-Link is that it lacks the belly bar and snack tray that we love to see in our top picks, but those aren't essential features for an umbrella stroller anyway. Like any umbrella stroller it must be handled with care to avoid fingers getting trapped in the hinges and mechanisms.
In the majority of double umbrella strollers with seats, they are side-byside. However there are models that have inline seating (one seat in front of the other). Inline models are easier to maneuver in doorways than side-by-side models, but they often have a disparity in seating options that can cause your children to argue over who has the better seat. Our previous testers were pretty evenly split on this issue It's a personal decision.

Some models are close to providing the same level safety as the full-sized double strollers.
