A double umbrella stroller is a great alternative to a regular double stroller. It is lighter weight, easier to maneuver, and easier to fold.
Double umbrella strollers are often light on features and accessories, but that doesn't mean they are bare bones or useless. Many people find that their double umbrella stroller meets all of their stroller needs all of the time, and never use anything else.
We've found a few models of double stroller that fall under the category of "double umbrella stroller" and have listed them below. Each model falls into a different price range for those with different budgets.
The Jeep Wrangler Double Umbrella Stroller is the least expensive of the 3 models we are reviewing, retailing for around $130 or less. It has all-terrain wheels (according to the manufacturer), 3 storage bags to carry your things, a removable parent cup holder, independently reclining seats and individual sun canopies, and 3-point quick release buckles.
At only 20.8 pounds, it is much lighter than most double strollers, yet gives you many of the same features as more traditional doubles. It folds compactly.Reviewers note that the storage is not underneath the stroller, which is a negative. The wheels are made of foam and there is very little shock absorbancy. Like most umbrella strollers, it's really best for short trips, travel through the airport and that sort of thing. It's not recommended for heavy duty use.
It has two storage baskets underneath the seats, easy swivel front wheels, and 5-point safety harnesses to keep your children extra secure. The seats full recline and the leg rests are adjustable. Reviewers note that it has a smooth ride, probably due to the inflatable wheels.
