A guide to purchasing a double umbrella stroller

If you have twins or two toddlers close in age then you are probably looking for a lightweight, easy to maneuver stroller that will accommodate the both of them. A double umbrella stroller will fit the bill perfectly. Umbrella strollers were invented in the 60’s by the MacLaren company and revolutionized the stroller industry.

Umbrella strollers are light and easy to fold making them the ideal stroller for parents with more than one baby.

Choosing an umbrella stroller is really a matter of personal taste and budget. For parents with twins, a side-by-side double stroller is a good option as it ensures that both children have a front view access. A tandem stroller, where one seat is placed behind the other, is more suited for toddlers of differing ages as there is less likelihood that they will bicker about who will sit in the front.

A double stroller that is lightweight is extremely important for parents with more than one toddler. Carrying one or more young children, shopping bags and a stroller on to public transport is a nightmare so the lighter the stroller the better. Even if you don’t use public transport, the ease with which you can easily lift a stroller into the trunk of a car is also important.

When shopping for double umbrella strollers, remember that most are not made for babies younger than six months. This is because the neck support on most umbrella strollers is not adequate for young babies. If you are looking for an umbrella stroller that will support your newborn and your toddler, then ensure that the stroller specifically states that it is suitable for newborns.
