I think selecting the right stroller is all about finding your type. Well, for those of you that have come to the conclusion that your type is a double umbrella stroller, you have come to the right place, and honestly mad props to you. It took me until about number 4 to realize that just maybe I had it all wrong.
What I am about to say might shock you a bit, but umbrella strollers are actually a really solid option. Maybe they aren’t as sturdy as full-size strollers and they might not have the newest up-to-date accessories or additions, but do you know what they are? Convenient, convenient, convenient.
Let me tell you, parents of multiple kiddos just need convenience sometimes. So, let’s take a look at the best double umbrella strollers!

What to Look for in a Double Umbrella Stroller
- Weight- The whole idea is to find the lightest possible stroller that your kids fit comfortably in and that you enjoy pushing.
- Folded Size- Again, this is for traveling and convenience so you want to find a double umbrella stroller that folds neatly and is compact.
- Unfolding & Folding- For a double umbrella stroller to be truly convenient, it has to do these things with ease. You want it to be easy and quick especially if your purpose in having one is for travel.
- Seats- There is tons of variance in seating in double umbrella strollers. Those with reclining seats and feet rests should be at the top of your list because they make naptime possible!

Why Choose a Double Umbrella Stroller?
You are probably wondering why I am such a fan of the conveniences that umbrella strollers offer, so just hear me out. They are literally designed to be lightweight and break down in the most compact way possible. This means they are easy-peezy for one parent to whip out of the trunk of even the smallest sedans and accomplish whatever the day holds. And since I am a mighty 5′ 1″ having something lightweight is a pretty nice option.
Half of my life these days seems to be running errands and it’s way too big of a hassle to get anything bigger than an umbrella stroller out, just to be put back in after a run through Target.
Another thing they do well? Travel! Our family loves to travel, but all little ones need a break from the go-go-go mindset that can come along with that.
Bringing a stroller along that they can rest in makes everyone a happy camper. I do not want to be carrying my toddler around and as much as I would like to think frequenting the gym makes me capable of toting her all over on adventures, this mama’s arms get tired.
If you’ve got two kiddos from 1-5 years old, I say just go for it. Try out a double umbrella stroller. It’ll simplify your everyday life and your travels.
Keep in mind, I’m not trying to imply that you don’t need your nice big fancy double stroller. Depending on your family, you might be the kind of person who needs both the fancy stroller and the umbrella stroller.
Overall, there are some incredible options out there for double umbrella strollers. We will continue updating this article as more new models arrive!
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best stroller for twins?
What is the best stroller for a baby and a toddler?
I recommend a strong side by side stroller when you have a toddler and a baby. City Mini is the best double stroller when it comes to having a toddler and baby.
Can I put my newborn in a double stroller?
Only if the manufacturer says so. A regular toddler seat, like most double umbrella strollers have, just doesn’t have the right angle or the right level of support to keep a newborn safe.
