Double Umbrella Stroller

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.

Jeep Wrangler Twin Sport Umbrella Stroller

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.

Esprit Sun Speed Umbrella Duo

The Esprit Sun Speed Double Umbrella Stroller is a mid-priced model, retailing for around $200. This model offers a 22 pound weight (according to the manufacturer), which is heavier than the Jeep Wrangler model, but still very lightweight. Some reviewers feel it is really a few pounds heavier than that.

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.

Maclaren Twin Triumph Stroller

The Maclaren Twin Triumph Double Umbrella Stroller is the most expensive of the 3 double umbrella strollers we are reviewing today, retailing at around $265.

The Twin Triumph offers reversible, washable, removable seat liners, which is great for dealing with those inevitable messes.

At 21.6 pounds, it is still very lightweight and easy to push, and when using the included carrying handle, it's a piece of cake to carry around. The foam grip handles are comfortable for the parents when pushing the stroller. And the 5-point harnesses are great for keeping kids safe and secure.

The Maclaren Twin Triumph double umbrella stroller comes with multiple reclining positions, 4.5 inch dual swivel wheels, individual sun hoods with viewing windows, rain covers, and double storage baskets. Reviewers note that it fits through standard doors with ease and that it's easy to fold and unfold.

Most reviewers agree that this stroller is sturdy enough for everyday use. The extra cost may be well worth it if you are only planning on purchasing one double stroller.
