13 Best Umbrella Strollers for Twins

Traveling with a child is always a challenge, but traveling with twins is a whole different ballgame. Not only did we have an extremely active toddler to keep up with, but we had two of them! Whether it was the playground, beach, or the park, we’d be on double duty all the time. That’s why we decided to invest in one of the best things we did for the twins – umbrella strollers for twins.

Whether it was transporting the twins from the car to the grocery store or getting a much-needed morning walk as my tiny tots napped in their stroller seats, our double-duty stroller was more than just a way to transport from point A to point B. It was a way for us to step out of the house for some fresh air; it was our ticket to freedom. And these things were so very important all the time, whether it was the early months when we were adapting to having two little humans or when they were hyperactive tots bouncing around everywhere. To that end, here’s a detailed guide to double strollers for two kids.

Delta Children LX Side by Side Stroller

We begin with the Delta Children LX Side by Side Stroller, which is one of the most affordable ones on this list at USD 75. Crafted from 100% polyester, this double stroller boasted a European-style canopy that protects our kids from the elements. Not only did it meet Disney requirements, but it also came with two attachment points, a parent cup holder, and two storage bags. Thanks to the five-point safety harness, we didn’t have to worry about their safety as we went jogging, with the 360-degree shock-absorbing front swivel wheels greatly helping our case. All in all, this is a nice, lightweight, and compact frame umbrella stroller for easy travel and storage.

Jeep Scout Double Stroller

The Jeep Scout Double Stroller features imported mesh and extendable canopies with sun visors. Together, they kept our babies protected from the elements while also keeping them ventilated and allowing them to see the world around them. As parents, we loved the five-point safety harness with reflective material and soft shoulder pads that ensured that we were visible anywhere. Thanks to the multi-position reclining seat and the parent cup holder, we and the twins could stay out for hours and not be bothered or uncomfortable at all. Wrapping things up is the abundant storage with double rear canopy bags and wheels with both a suspension system and front swivel.

What’s more, the lockable front swivel wheel meant that we could easily navigate turns and tricky paths, thanks to the stability and the ease with which we could operate the stroller. The ratcheting shade canopy with the peekaboo window was great for our twins to peek out and see the world. Rounding things up was the convenient parent tray that included a covered storage compartment and two cupholders.

UPPAbaby G-Link V2 Double Stroller

The UPPAbaby G-Link V2 Double Stroller is popular due to its lower price point, compact fold, and lightweight frame. Upgraded from its earlier version, this new one was enhanced with a large storage basket and pockets. Since it had a side-by-side design, we could use it well into our kids’ toddlerhood. What’s more, both seats reclined independently and had their own adjustable footrest and UPF 50+ canopy sunshade. A lightweight aluminum frame, a super-simple fold mechanism, and a shoulder strap meant that we could also carry it anywhere.

Graco DuoGlider Double Stroller

8

Best value-for-money. The Graco DuoGlider Double Stroller was one of the best value-for-money double strollers we’ve seen. This tandem double stroller featured an array of value-added features, including adjustable and reclining stadium-style seats. That meant that we could adjust both seats to face away from us, face towards us, face each other, or not face each other! What’s more, both seats could be independently reclined, came with adjustable canopies and removable storage trays, and even had padded handlebars with a pouch and cup holder. Finally, the initial setup was very easy; all we had to do was click the wheels into place.

Bumbleride Indie Twin Full-Size Double Stroller

7

The Bumbleride Indie Twin Full-Size Double Stroller glided over grass, pavement, hiking trails, and anywhere else we took it. Not only did we use it right from the birth of our twins, but we also went from using it with dual bassinets to stroller seats to car seats! Moreover, the UPF 45+ canopies were large enough to almost fully shield the kids from the elements, whether wind, rain, or sun. What helped was the mesh window with magnetic closures, which allowed the kids to peek out and gave us a quick way to check on the kiddos. Rounding up the features were the deep storage area, the footrests, the plush seat padding, and the maneuverability around tight turns.

BOB Gear Flex 3.0 Duallie Jogging Stroller

6

The BOB Gear Flex 3.0 Duallie Jogging Stroller is one of the best we’ve made in baby gear being jogging parents. The monstrous mountain bike-style suspension system allowed it (and us) to glide over every kind of terrain, from hiking trails and garden paths to even cobblestoned streets and uneven sidewalks. What’s more, the air-filled tires gave this stroller superior traction and shock absorption, and the kids would always be comfy and happy. Since the handlebars could be adjusted to nine different levels, we could position ourselves ergonomically when we went running as well. However, above all, this stroller has one of the best canopies we’ve ever seen on double strollers, crafted from breathable UPF 50+ fabric.

Specifications

• Stroller Weight: 33.1 lbs/15 kg

Baby Jogger City Tour 2 Double Stroller

5

The Baby Jogger City Tour 2 Double Stroller costs less than other strollers on this list while also being comfortable, maneuverable, and durable. It held up to rigorous use remarkably well, even after lots of sandy walks at the beach. We especially loved that we could steer it with single-handedly and that it glided around tight corners and through doorways easily. Both seats reclined independently and could lie almost flat, with the calf rests being adjustable as well. Finally, the stroller was great for everyday use as well as for travel, thanks to its compact and lightweight frame.

Thule Urban Glide 3 Double Stroller

4

When it came to going running with the twins, there was no better double stroller than the Thule Urban Glide 3 Double Stroller. There was simply no landscape (other than sand and snow, of course) that this stroller couldn’t handle, and then some. There were many features that we loved, starting with the front locking wheel that allowed us to run without the stroller feeling unstable. Thanks to the back air-filled tires, the long chassis, and the independent suspension, our babies were comfy and stable even on uneven surfaces such as cobblestones and boardwalks. However, the thing we loved the most was the gigantic undercarriage basket, in which we could pack da oomsday worth of supplies.

UPPAbaby Vista V3 Stroller

3

Most breathable. The UPPAbaby Vista V3 Stroller is the latest version of a stroller that has been one of the most popular high-end double strollers for many years now. We especially loved the superior yet smoother suspension and steering with a tighter turning radius, allowing us to navigate a whole lot easier. What’s more, the all-weather seats kept our babies cool in the heat and warm in the cold, thanks to the removable liner on the mesh seat. Thanks to the magnetic harness system, the stroller ensured easy in and out, with the aluminum frame making it a whole lot lighter than the previous version. Finally, we loved the large and durable undercarriage area and the UPF 50+ rated canopy, which even had an extension for more shade.

Nuna Trvl DBL Stroller

2

Easiest to fold. The Nuna Trvl DBL Stroller solves multiple problems: it was not basic, it wasn’t too wide while being spacious, and it wasn’t a pain to fold. In fact, it was the easiest side-by-side double stroller that we’d ever folded, while being narrow enough to make it through most doors. Its durability is a huge plus point, with the materials designed to take a beating. Even though it’s spot-clean only, it wasn’t challenging to get stains out. Our kiddos especially loved the dual-extending canopies with peekaboo windows. Plus, the zipper was easy to deal with and even had a cover so it wouldn’t leak in inclement weather or make the canopy sway in the wind. Finally, the all-wheel suspension made the ride on this second to none.

Specifications

• Type: Side-by-side
• Stroller Weight: 25.5 lbs/11.5 kg
• Folded Dimensions: 30.5 x 19.75 x 27.75 inches
• Car Seat Capacity: 1
• Weight Limits: 50 lbs/22.7kg (per seat)
• Disney Approved: Yes

Austlen Entourage 2.0 Stroller

1

Sitting at the top of the list is the very expensive – but the most amazing – Austlen Entourage 2.0 Stroller. Unlike any other stroller we’d seen, this nifty single-to-double stroller also converted into a sit-and-stand stroller. So, when we only had one kid with us, the other part would expand to hold our groceries, luggage, etc. Mostly assembled out of the box, all we needed to do was stick on the bumpers and the wheels, and we were good to go. It also came with an accordion-style bag that attached between the telescoping handlebars and the seat, providing additional storage space besides the spacious undercarriage basket. It could also hold two car seats from most brands, a gliding four-wheel suspension, and bouncy, never-flat tires that were always responsive. What more could we ask for?

Check out the official product page for more details.

“Once we learnt to maneuver the stroller, it was one hell of a luxurious ride for our little ones. It glided over all kinds of surfaces and managed obstacles easily.”

How To Choose The Best Umbrella Strollers For Twins?

Types Of Double Strollers

• Side-by-Side: The boss of this category, these double strollers have gone from being unwieldy and difficult to manage to being a lot more amazing in recent years, with lots of storage, independent suspension, and more.
• Tandem: Traditional tandem strollers have two permanent seats, one in front of the other. While they’re bulkier had heavier, they’re usually convertible strollers that can hold stroller seats, bassinets, and one or two car seats.
• Jogging/Sport: These are perfect for active parents and the best ones have good canopy coverage, excellent suspension, and are lightweight. Check out the best best rear-facing jogging strollers.
• Lightweight; Now, we hate to be the bearers of bad news, but there aren’t many great lightweight double strollers, and for a good reason. However, if you do find any, look for ones that fold up well and fit in car boots and overhead bins.

Weight and Age Limits

After deciding the kind of stroller you want, you need to consider the age and weight limits on the strollers according to the manufacturer’s guidelines. Do remember: Babies need to be able to sit up on their own to use strollers.

Comfort

In the end, strollers are seats for your babies, so you need to ensure that they’re comfortable. The best of the lot have reclining and nicely padded seats, good airflow, a good-sized sun canopy, and even a footrest for babies to rest their feet. Additionally, and we say this for the sake of caregivers and parents, look for strollers that allow you to maintain a proper posture. That means the size of the stroller and the presence of adjustable handles.

Portability/Maneuverability

In the end, the idea of a double stroller is to be out and about with two kids. We’ve always looked at portability and maneuverability while also checking whether the lightweight nature of the strollers is due to less storage space, shock absorption, and cushioning or not. Secondly, we looked for straps for lifting and carrying the stroller on our shoulders or backs. Finally, we looked for ones with front swivel wheels, which make it easier to turn and navigate tight spaces.

Assembly

We didn’t want to break our heads assembling the stroller, so we looked for ones that either came completely assembled or required minimal work to get them ready for the road. Many excellent assembly-free options aside, there were even ones that could be assembled in less than 15 minutes. 

Storage

Finally, look for a good amount of storage in double strollers, as you’re going to require a ton of stuff to step out with your twins:

When can you put babies in double strollers?

Double strollers can usually accommodate two kids from when they’re newborns till they reach the age of five years.

How do I know if I need a double stroller?

If you have twins with the same schedule, then double strollers are very convenient. However, if your kids have different caretakers and schedules, then two separate strollers offer more flexibility.

Can I bring a double stroller on a flight?

Generally, airlines have size restrictions on strollers allowed beyond security checkpoints. However, most of them allow both single and double strollers that meet the size requirements and can be easily folded.
