There are two kinds of double umbrellas that are lightweight: those that have very little features and those that offer various options for comfort and convenience in addition to their compact size. Some of the best examples include large pop-out umbrellas with SPF 50 and peekaboo windows, cushioned seats and 5-point safety harnesses for both seat areas as well as reclining seats and adjustable leg rests. It is also important to consider whether you want an attachment for your car seat, a parent tray and the amount of storage space available in each seat.

This stroller weighs only 18 lbs and includes a convenient carrying strap to carry it around. It fits easily into the trunk of your car, or a front closet when not in use.

Easy to Fold
The most basic umbrella strollers fold like umbrellas and weigh less than other types of strollers. They are easy to lift, carry and store away and are ideal when you aren't able to carry your full-size stroller due to any reason (traveling by plane, touring in a new country, visiting grandma). They typically have fewer features than a full-featured stroller, but they should have the essential features you need, such as the sun canopy and storage.

The majority of double umbrella strollers we recommend are side by side models. The exception is the Kinderwagon Hop, a tandem umbrella twin stroller side by side that's extremely lightweight and easy to fold (though it's also quite narrow). If you're looking for a cheap double buggy, simple, no-frills double umbrella stroller you can toss in your back pack or trunk for quick trips, we highly recommend this one. It includes two storage bags that hang from the bag on the back of each seat, as well as cup holders for parents. It's so bare bones that it's not going to help your children get through the airport without making them cranky--but it will help make the journey more comfortable.
Comfortable Seats
The majority of umbrella strollers don't come with a lot of bells and whistles since they are designed for one purpose: to get two children from one place to the other. This means they typically have seats that are spacious and comfortable but do not have recline options or wheels that are all-terrain.
The UPPAbaby G-Link 2 stands out. It's a light and compact double umbrella stroller that has two seats that weigh only 18 pounds each, which makes it a great option for travelers (it does meet 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, although not as much as our top choices. It has five-point safety belts in both seats, as well as a peek-a-boo window in the canopy.
The only downside to the G-Link is that it doesn't have the belly bar and snack tray that we like to see in our top picks, but they aren't necessary features for an umbrella stroller in the first place. Like all umbrella strollers, the G-Link should be handled with caution to avoid getting your fingers stuck in hinges and mechanisms.
The seats in double umbrella strollers are usually side-by-side, but there are some models that are inline (one seat behind the other). Inline models can be easier to maneuver in doorways than side-byside models, but they usually have a difference between the seating options which could cause your kids to fight over who gets the best seat. This was pretty evenly divided among our previous test participants and it boils down to the individual preference.
Safety

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