Choosing a Double Umbrella Stroller

It's important to consider your family's priorities and needs when you are shopping for a gymax Double seat stroller: adjustable push handle pram stroller. This will help streamline your choices and allow you to focus on the features that matter most.

UPPAbaby G-Link 2 is an excellent, upscale double umbrella stroller that's well-manufactured and folds up compactly. It comes with big umbrellas, a large storage bin and is very easy to move around.

Lightweight

The top double umbrella strollers are small and lightweight, but still provide plenty. They're not as heavy as a traditional jogger or stroller and are usually smaller when folded. While they don't have the whistles, bells and storage space of larger strollers; they do provide large canopy areas and reclining seats.

A lightweight double umbrella stroller is a popular option for families who travel together. It is easy to fold and fits into most trunks or carry-on bags for planes. It's an excellent alternative for narrow doors and crowded streets. It's also cheaper than a "travel stroller" with more features can be used on a daily basis.

A few of the best double umbrella strollers, like the UPPAbaby G-Link 2, have certain features that you can't find on the cheaper models. This double umbrella stroller has hanging storage pockets as well as trays for toys and snacks in each seat, and two cupholders for parents. The streamlined design makes this double umbrella stroller among the smallest on the market. It also has an extra-wide canopy to safeguard both seats.

Some other options that are light such as the Joovy Kooper X2, have more of the bells and whistles you might expect from a double umbrella stroller, such as a more comfortable ride for both children thanks to padded seating and a higher recline for each seat. It's important to note that the more features you choose, the more the stroller weighs. Additionally, due to the way these strollers are able to open and close, you'll want to be careful not to let tiny fingers catch on frames or hinges, particularly when your child is in a seat.

Compact

The smallest double umbrella strollers, when folded are easy to maneuver and fit in tight spaces. They're a good option for parents who plan to use their stroller frequently on sidewalks, at shopping centers, or to travel around tourist destinations such as the zoo, aquarium or museums. These lightweight, compact strollers can also be great for commutes or as a backup option to a heavier, more feature-packed stroller when traveling.

There are two general styles of umbrellas that are lightweight one of which is one with a limited number of features and those that offer many comfort and convenience features in addition to their small size and light weight. Some of the best examples include large pop-out umbrellas with SPF 50, peekaboo windows and cushioned seats. They also come with five-point safety harnesses on both sides, as well as adjustable leg rests as well as reclined seats. Other important aspects to consider are whether or not you want a parent tray and car seat attachment capabilities and how much storage space each seat comes with.

The Delta Children LX Double Umbrella is a great example of a basic minimal, simple option that is extremely light and very affordable. This stroller is only 18 lbs, has an excellent carrying strap, and can be easily stored in the trunk of your vehicle or in the front closet of your home. Its front wheels are precision technology and can swivel to give you more comfort and ease of steering. The brand new Kinderwagon Hop is a tandem umbrella stroller with a narrow width that is also light and easy to maneuver through doors. The model was off the market for a couple of years, but is returning to production and is worth a look. It also comes with a bigger three-panel canopy for improved sun protection over the smaller, basic models in this review.

Easy to Fold

The most basic umbrella strollers fold like umbrellas and weigh a lot less than other kinds of strollers. They are easy to carry, lift, and stow for use when you don't want or need to bring your full-size stroller for some reason (traveling on an airplane, exploring the city of your choice, or visiting grandma). These strollers are usually not as feature-rich as full-featured models, but should still offer the essentials like storage space and a sun canopy.

The most recent version of the UPPAbaby G-Link 2 is lighter and narrower than the predecessor, with an improved front wheel design that enhances the maneuverability and pushability. It's a great 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 that has an umbrella design, but in a body that's comparable in size to a regular full-size stroller. This kind of stroller is replacing the standard double umbrella stroller. It could be your ideal choice if you're looking for a lightweight, multi-purpose 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 extremely light and easy to fold (though it's also quite narrow). If you're looking for a low-cost simple, minimalist, no-frills umbrella stroller that you can throw in your back pack or trunk for short trips, we highly recommend this model. It includes two storage bags that hang from the bag on the back of each seat, and cup holders for parents. It's so bare bones that it's unlikely to allow your kids to get through an airport without getting them cranky, but it will help to make the trip more comfortable.

Comfortable Seats

The majority of umbrella strollers don't come with much in the way of bells and whistles because they are intended to do one thing: get two kids from point A to point B. This means they typically have seats that are spacious and comfortable, but don't have reclining options or wheels that are all-terrain.

The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 is the only exception. It is a small and light double umbrella stroller with two seats weighing only 18 lbs. This makes it an ideal option for those who travel. It's got a fantastic suspension, a large three-panel canopy that easily shields children from the sun and plenty of storage space in both seats, but not as much as our top choices. It also has the important 5-point safety harnesses on both seats and peek-a-boo windows in their canopies.

A downside of the G-Link is that it doesn't have 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 all umbrella strollers, the G-Link must be handled with attention to avoid getting fingers caught in the hinges and mechanisms.

The seats in double umbrella strollers are usually side by side however there are some models that are inline (one seat behind the other). Inline models are more convenient to maneuver in doorways than side-by-side models, however they typically have a gap in seating options that could make your kids fight over who gets the best seat. This was pretty equally split among our previous test subjects It really is a personal choice.

Safety

Your child's safety is a primary consideration when selecting a stroller and the design of a double umbrella stroller can affect the quality of its operation. Some models come close to providing the same level of safety as the full-sized double strollers. These strollers typically have 5-point harnesses with foot rests, calf and calf straps for children, and an extendable UPF 50+ sun visor. They are usually narrower and lighter than other double umbrella strollers. This makes them easier to maneuver in tight spaces such as airports or city streets.

Some models, like the Kinderwagon Hop are side-byside and are easy to push in small spaces. This stroller is perfect for parents who are traveling with children and who need a convenient and quick method of getting around. It's also small enough to fit into the trunk.

Another model worth considering is the UPPAbaby G-Link 2, which is among the most light double umbrella strollers that we test. It is surprisingly sturdy design for an umbrella-style product. It also features a large storage basket that is easily accessible, reclining chairs, and the window that peeks out. The seat can also support 35 lbs. and is able to meet Disney stroller specifications.

Other models, such as the Jeep PowerGlide double stroller, are more bare-bones in design and might not have as many features. These strollers are lightweight and can be used for backups or even for occasional travel. They are also much cheaper than renting a stroller for the duration of a vacation or for a trip. They are also easy to carry, lift and fold.
