Comfortable Seats
Most umbrella strollers don't have much in the way of bells and whistles, because they are intended to only take two children from one location to B. That means they usually offer seats that are comfortable and spacious but do not have recline options or all-terrain wheels.

It's a surprisingly light and compact double umbrella stroller with two seats that weigh only 18 pounds each, which makes it a fantastic choice for anyone who travels (it is in line with Disney size requirements). It has a great suspension, a huge three-panel canopy that is able to shield children from the sun and a decent amount of storage space in both seats, but not quite as much as our top choices. It also has the important 5-point safety harnesses that are in both seats, as well as peek-a-boo windows in their canopies.
The G-Link does not have the bellybar or snack tray we'd love to see on our top choices. But those features aren’t necessary for umbrella strollers.

This issue was pretty evenly divided among our previous test participants and it comes down to a personal choice.
