They are easy to carry, lift and stow which makes them perfect for those times when you do not want to take your full-size stroller due to any reason (traveling on a plane, exploring in a new country, visiting grandma).

Most double umbrella strollers that 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 a bit narrow). This is a great option if you want a simple, cheap double buggy double umbrella stroller that you can easily toss into your trunk for short trips. It even has two storage bags hanging from the backs of each seat and cup holders for the parents. It's so basic, it could not get your kids through an airport without making noise. However, it will make your journey more comfortable.
Comfortable Seats
The majority of umbrella strollers don't come with many bells and whistles since they are designed for one purpose: to take two children from A to B. That means they usually offer seats that are spacious and comfortable, but don't have reclining options or all-terrain wheels.
The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 stands out. It is a compact and lightweight double umbrella stroller that has two seats that weigh just 18 pounds. This makes it a great option for families who travel. It comes with a large canopy with three panels that protect children from sun. Both seats offer a good amount of storage, but not as much as some of our top picks. It comes with five-point safety belts in both seats, and a an open-air window in the canopy.
One drawback of the G-Link is that it lacks the belly bar and snack tray we've come to see in our top picks, however they aren't essential features for an umbrella stroller, anyway. As with any umbrella stroller, it must be used with care to ensure that fingers - whether your own or that of a child get stuck in the hinges of the frame that fold 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 are more easy to maneuver through doors than models with side by sides, but their seating arrangements could cause your kids to argue over which is the best seat. This was pretty evenly divided among our previous testers It really boils down to an individual choice.

Some models come close to providing the same level of security as larger double strollers. They typically come with 5-point harnesses, calf and foot rests for the kids, and an extendable UPF 50+ sun visor. They are also usually narrower and lighter than other double umbrella strollers, making them easier to maneuver through tight spaces like airports or city streets.
Some models, such as the Kinderwagon Hop, are side-by-sides and are particularly easy to push through small spaces. This stroller is an excellent option for parents traveling with children and need a quick and convenient method of getting around. It's also small enough to easily fit into the trunk or in a storage space.
Another model worth looking into is the UPPAbaby G-Link 2, which is among the most lightweight double umbrella strollers we've test. It's a surprising sturdy design for an umbrella product. It also comes with a large storage basket that is easily accessible, reclining chairs, and a peekaboo window. The seat can also support 35 pounds. and is in line with Disney stroller requirements.
Other models, such as the Jeep PowerGlide Double Stroller With Bassinet stroller, are more bare-bones in design and may not come with the same features. They are light and can be used for backups or for occasional travel. They're also cheaper than renting a stroller for an entire vacation or for a trip. They're easy to fold, lift, transport and store away.
