It's cheaper than a more feature-rich "travel stroller" that you could take for walks on a daily basis.
Some of the top double strollers like the UPPAbaby G-Link 2 have features that you won't see on the lighter models.

Some of the most effective examples include large pop-out umbrellas with SPF 50, peekaboo windows and cushioned seats. They also come with 5-point safety harnesses that are on both sides, leg rests as well as reclining seats. Other crucial aspects to take into consideration are whether or not you want a tray for parents or car seat attachment and the amount of storage space each seat comes with.

The simplest umbrella strollers fold like an umbrella and weigh less than other types of strollers. They are simple to carry, lift and stow which makes them perfect for when you do not want to take your full-size stroller due to any reason (traveling on a plane, exploring a foreign country, visiting grandma). These strollers are usually less well-equipped than fully-featured models, but they should offer the basics like storage space and a sun canopy.

This type of stroller is replacing the standard double umbrella stroller. It's probably the best option if you are searching for a light and 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 super light and easy to fold (though it's also a bit narrow). This is a great option for those looking for a simple inexpensive double umbrella stroller you can easily toss into your trunk for quick trips. It comes with two storage bags that hang on the sides of each seat, as well as cup holders for parents. It's so basic, it might not get your kids through an airport without getting them cranky, but it will to make the trip more comfortable.
Comfortable Seats
Most umbrella strollers aren't fitted with many bells and whistles because they only have one purpose: to take two children from one place to the other. They typically come with comfortable, spacious seats, but they don't have recline options or all-terrain wheels.
The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 is the exception. It's a light and compact double umbrella stroller that has two seats that weigh just 18 pounds each, making it a great option for travelers (it meets Disney size requirements). It's got a fantastic suspension, a massive three-panel canopy that shields kids from the sun, and a decent amount of storage space in both seats, though not as many as our top selections. It also has the crucial 5-point safety harnesses in both seats as well as windows that peek out in their canopies.
The G-Link lacks the bellybar and snack tray we'd love to see on our top picks. But those features aren’t essential for an umbrella stroller. As with any umbrella stroller, it should be handled with care so that fingers - whether your own or children's get stuck in the folding frame hinges and mechanisms.
In most double umbrella strollers they have seats that are side-by-side. However there are models that have inline seating (one seat is in front of the other). Inline models are easier to maneuver through doors than side by side models however their seating arrangements could cause your kids to fight over which seat. This issue was fairly evenly divided among our previous test participants and it is a personal choice.
Safety
Your child's safety should be a top priority when you choose a stroller and the design of a double umbrella stroller can determine the quality of its operation. While it's hard to find a light double stroller that can provide the same level of safety as larger strollers, some models do come close. These strollers typically have 5-point harnesses with foot rests, calf and calf straps for the kids, and an extendable UPF 50+ sun visor. They are typically also narrower and lighter than other double umbrella strollers, making them easier to maneuver through tight spaces like airports or streets in cities.
Some models, like the Kinderwagon Hop, are side-by-sides and are simple to maneuver through narrow spaces. This stroller is an excellent option for parents who are traveling with children and require a quick and easy way to get around. It is also compact enough to fit in a trunk.
The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 is another model that is worth a look. It is one of the
lightest double Stroller double strollers we have test-driven. It has a surprisingly robust design for an umbrella style product. It also features an enormous, easily accessible storage basket, reclining chairs, and an open window. The seat also holds 35 pounds and is in line with Disney

Other models, such as the Jeep PowerGlide double stroller, are more basic in appearance and may not offer the same features. They are light and can be used for backups or for occasional travel. They're also less expensive than renting the stroller for a whole trip or vacation. They are also easy to carry, lift and fold.
