It is also important to be sure that your child doesn't catch their fingers on the frames or hinges of these strollers due to the way they open and close.

When folded, the smallest double umbrella strollers are easily maneuverable and fit into tight spaces. These strollers are an excellent option for parents who use them frequently on sidewalks, shopping malls or to travel to tourist attractions like the zoo and aquarium.

There are two general styles of umbrellas that are lightweight that have a few features and those that offer many comfort and convenience features in addition to their compact size and lightweight weight.

They also have 5-point safety harnesses on both sides, adjustable leg rests, and reclined seats.

The simplest umbrella strollers fold like an umbrella and weigh a lot less than other types of strollers. They are easy to lift, carry, and stow for use when you don't want or can't bring your larger stroller due to a reason (traveling on an airplane, touring an unfamiliar city, or visiting grandma). These strollers are often less feature-rich than full-featured models, but they should offer the basics, such as storage and a sun canopy.

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 a bit narrow).

The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 stands out. It's a surprisingly light and compact double umbrella stroller with two seats that weigh just 18 lbs each, making it a fantastic choice for anyone who travels (it is in line with Disney size requirements). It has a large canopy with three panels to protect children from sun. Both seats offer plenty of storage however, not as much as some of our top picks. It has 5-point safety belts on both seats, and a the ability to peek into the canopy.
The G-Link does not have the bellybar or snack tray that we'd like to see on our top choices. But those features aren’t essential for an umbrella stroller. Like all umbrella strollers, the G-Link should be handled with care to avoid fingers getting stuck in hinges and mechanisms.
In most double umbrella strollers they have seats that are side-by-side. However, there are models with inline seating (one seat in front of the other). Inline models are simpler to navigate through doorways than models that are side by side, but their seating arrangements could cause your kids to fight over which seat. This issue was pretty evenly divided among our previous test participants It really boils down to an individual choice.

Some models come close to providing the same level of security as full-sized double strollers.

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