When folded, the most compact double umbrella strollers are easy to maneuver and be tucked away in tight spaces. These strollers are a great choice for parents who will often use them on sidewalks, shopping malls, or to navigate tourist attractions like the zoo or aquarium.

They also have five-point safety harnesses on both sides, as well as adjustable leg rests, and reclining seats. It is also important to consider whether you would like an attachment for your car seat, a parent tray and the amount of storage space available in each seat.

The simplest umbrella strollers collapse like an umbrella and weigh much less than other types of strollers. This makes them easy to lift, carry and store when you don't want or can't bring your full-size stroller for some reason (traveling on an airplane, traveling in the city of your choice, or visiting grandma). They usually come with fewer features than a fully-featured stroller, however they should offer the basic functionality you need, such as storage and a sun canopy.

It's so basic that it's unlikely to get your kids through an airport without getting them cranky, but it will to make the trip more comfortable.

The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 stands out. It is a lightweight and compact double umbrella stroller with two seats that weigh just 18 pounds. This makes it a fantastic choice for travelers. It has a huge canopy with three panels to protect children from sun. Both seats offer ample storage but not as much as our top picks. It comes with 5-point safety belts on both seats, as well as peek-a-boo window in the canopy.

The G-Link lacks the bellybar and snack tray we'd love to see on our top choices. But those features aren’t essential for an umbrella stroller. And, like any umbrella stroller, it should be used with care so that fingers - whether your own or children's get caught in the folding frame hinges and mechanisms.

In most double umbrella strollers, the seats are side-by-side. However, there are models with inline seating (one seat that is placed in front of the other). Inline models can be easier to maneuver through doors than side-by-side models, however they usually have a difference between seating features that can cause your children to argue over who has the better seat. Our previous testers were evenly split on this issue It's an individual choice.
