The top double umbrella strollers are compact twin stroller and light, yet provide plenty of. They're not as heavy as a traditional stroller or jogger and are typically smaller when folded too.

Many families opt for a lightweight double umbrella stroller because it's an ideal stroller for traveling. It's easy to fold and fits in most carry-on bags or trunks for airplanes.

A few of the best double umbrella strollers, like the UPPAbaby G-Link 2, have some features you won't find on the cheaper models. The double umbrella stroller comes with hanging storage pockets and trays in each seat for children's snacks and toys and two parent cupholders. Its minimalist design makes it one of the smallest double umbrella strollers available on the market when folded and comes with a wide canopy to protect both seats.
Other options that are lightweight like the Joovy Kooper X2, offer more bells and whistles than you would expect from a double stroller umbrella, such as the ability to provide a more comfortable ride for both children thanks to padded seats as well as a deeper recline on each seat. The more features you choose the more weighty the stroller. Also, because of the way that strollers can be closed and opened it is important to be careful not to let little fingers get caught on frames or hinges, particularly when your child is in either seat.
Compact
The smallest double umbrella strollers that fold are easy to maneuver and fit in tight spaces. They're a great choice for parents who plan to use their stroller frequently on the sidewalks, in shopping centers, or to visit tourist attractions like the zoo, aquarium or museums. These lightweight, compact strollers are great for commutes, or as a backup stroller to a larger stroller that has more features when traveling.
There are two types of umbrellas that are lightweight: those with very few features and those that offer many convenience and comfort features, in addition to their small size and light weight. Some of the best examples include large pop-out umbrellas that come with SPF 50, windows that peek out and cushioned seats. They also have 5-point safety harnesses on both sides, adjustable leg rests and reclined seats. You should also think about whether you would like an attachment for your car seat as well as a tray for parents and the amount of storage space that is available in each seat.

The stroller weighs just 18 pounds, comes with an easy-to-carry strap and can be stored in the trunk of your vehicle or in the front hall closet. The front wheels are precise and swivel for an easier ride and smoother steering. Another option to consider is the new Kinderwagon Hop, a super narrow tandem umbrella stroller that's also ultralight and easy to navigate through the doorways. This model was out production for a few decades but is returning and worth taking a look at. It also comes with a bigger three-panel canopy that offers better sun protection over the smaller, basic models in this review.
Easy to Fold
The simplest umbrella strollers fold like an umbrella, and they weigh less than other models. They are easy to carry, lift and stow and are ideal when you don't want to bring your full-size stroller for any reason (traveling via plane, traveling to a foreign country, visiting grandma). They typically have fewer features than a fully-featured stroller, however they should provide the essential features you need, such as a sun canopy and storage.
The latest version of the UPPAbaby G-Link 2 is lighter and narrower than the predecessor, and has a more efficient front wheel that increases maneuverability and pushability. It's a great option for a double stroller. And it's Disney-approved!
A double tri-fold stroller, like the Joovy Kooper X2, offers all the convenience of a stroller that has an umbrella design, but in a body that's similar in size to a regular full-size stroller. This kind of stroller is replacing the classic double umbrella stroller. It's probably the best choice if looking for a lightweight, flexible stroller.
The majority of double umbrella strollers we recommend are side-by-side models. The Kinderwagon Hop is an umbrella tandem stroller that is lightweight and easy to fold. It is also relatively small in width. This is a great choice for those looking for a simple inexpensive double umbrella stroller that you can easily throw in your trunk for quick trips. 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 simple, it might not be able to get your kids through the airport without a fuss. However, it can make your journey more enjoyable.
Comfortable Seats
The majority of umbrella strollers don't come with a lot of bells and whistles since they only have one purpose: to take two children from one place ready to grow double stroller the other. They usually come with comfortable, spacious seats, but they don't have recline options or all-terrain wheels.
The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 is the only exception. It's a surprisingly light and compact double umbrella stroller that has two seats that weigh just 18 pounds each, making it a fantastic choice for travelers (it is in line with Disney size requirements). It comes with a large canopy with three panels that protect children from sun. Both seats have plenty of storage, but not like some of our top choices. It comes with five-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 we'd love see on our top picks. However, these features aren't essential for an umbrella stroller. And, like any umbrella stroller, it needs to be used with care to ensure fingers, whether your own or children's get caught in the hinges that fold up the frame and mechanisms.
The seats in double umbrella strollers are usually side by side however, there are a few models that are inline (one seat behind the other). Inline models can be easier to maneuver through doors than side-by-side models, but they typically have a gap between seating features that can cause your children to argue over who gets the best seat. Our previous testers were evenly split on this issue and it's a personal decision.
Safety
When selecting a stroller to your child Safety should be the top priority. The design of an umbrella for a double stroller can make or break its performance. Some models are close to offering the same level safety as full-sized double strollers. These strollers typically have 5-point harnesses, feet and calf rests 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 through tight spaces such as airports or city streets.
Some models, such as the Kinderwagon Hop, are side-by-sides and are especially easy to push through small spaces. This stroller is perfect for parents who are traveling with their children and who need a convenient and quick way to get around. It's also small double stroller enough to fit easily in the trunk or in a storage space.
The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 is another model that is worth considering. It is one of the lightest double strollers we have examined. It's a surprising sturdy design for an umbrella style product. It also comes with a large storage basket that is easily accessible with reclining seats, as well as the window that peeks out. The seat can also hold 35 lbs and is able to meet Disney stroller dimensions.
Other models, like the Jeep PowerGlide double buggy with carrycot stroller, are more bare-bones in design and may not come with as many features. However, these strollers are still very lightweight and can be used as a backup or for travel purposes on occasion. They are also less expensive than renting one for a full vacation or for a trip. They are also easy to lift, carry and fold.
