We got this "umbrella" stroller for my 1yo twins. We also have a Graco DuoGlider, so that is my comparison for a lot of features.
Fold: First off, it's not really an umbrella stroller because it doesn't have an umbrella fold. This is kind of a bonus; folded umbrella double strollers tend to be very long/tall. This has a wider fold, but is quite short, and fits much better in the back of my car than the very long DuoGlider. I have a Mazda5, and while I still can't fit the stroller (or anything, really) in the back without folding the third row down, this fits pretty compactly. It takes up the whole back if laid flat, but I can also fit it in on its side (wheels to the side) and while it blocks the rear view mirror it leaves an awful lot of cargo space in that configuration. Enough for a cooler, at least.
Weight: It's very lightweight, at 23lbs. There are single strollers that weigh more than that. I can get it up and down the flight of steps to my house on my own.
Trays: There is a parent tray with two deep cupholders and a storage area. The parent cupholders are large enough for a large fountain drink. There are two easily removable child trays with cupholders as well. They remove independently, but the child cupholders are very small and may not fit a lot of sippy cups. Take & Toss cups fit right in, as long as you're not using handles. Munchkin 360 cups fit well enough, but it's not a perfect fit. The short 7oz munchkin cups will not fit with handles attached. We mostly use the 10oz cups while out of the house, and those are tall enough that using the collar with handles isn't a problem. If you're wondering if your sippy cups will fit, get some Take&Toss cups and use those as a comparison. Anything larger than a Take&Toss cup will NOT fit. The trays do not need to be removed to get kids in and out, but if you do want to remove them it's very easy to do.
Baskets: There are two small storage baskets instead of one large one across the bottom. Each basket has a 10lb weight limit. They're too small to fit my diaper bag (the Graco backpack) but the basket on the DuoGlider, while larger, was so hard to get stuff into and out of that we're used to not putting things in the baskets. At the very least, it's easy to get stuff in and out. There's certainly room for our picnic blanket in one basket, and a small cooler bag and our baby carriers in the other basket, which is all we really need.
Baby seats: The seats have a 5 point harness, which is a major plus for us. The harness is pretty adjustable, and easy to get babies into and out of. There is a peekaboo window on each canopy, which is made of mesh and has a cover. I like this more than the plastic ones because it can allow for extra airflow on hot days, or be closed if the sun is behind you and shining on baby's head. Each canopy is separate, and is pretty large! I am impressed with the canopy coverage. The seats recline with a sliding buckle, so you can adjust them to any level between upright and slightly reclined. They do not recline flat, so this is for older babies who can sit unsupported only. They may not recline enough for some babies to nap, but my girls hate being reclined at all and will sleep sitting up, so we don't see that as a problem. The seats are quite tall and my girls should fit in this for quite a while to come. It does not accept any kind of infant seat. Each seat has a small mesh pocket for small storage, just large enough for a food pouch or a small toy.
Maneuverability and Handling: The stroller is a side-by-side so some doors are always going to be a challenge, but it fits through every door we've tried so far. It's quite maneuverable, but it has small wheels so over cracked sidewalk it's a bit of a bumpy ride. This is not an all-terrain or jogging stroller; I would recommend it for city dwellers who will reliably have sidewalk or paved surfaces to walk on. Gravel and sand are a no-go. That said, over smooth surfaces its quite easy to push, and going uphill was much easier than than with the heavier stroller. It has a full handlebar so it can be pushed and turned with one hand. My husband is 6'0" and I am 5'7"; it is a comfortable height for me, but my husband found the handlebar a little short and he had to hunch a bit, but not enough that he doesn't like the stroller. Neither of us kicked the basket. The brakes are not flip flop friendly but theyre easy enough to lean down and flip with a hand.
Durability: We've had it for one day and it's not broken, so that's a good start? I will update if anything breaks, but if there is no update assume that it is going strong.
Overall: Pretty good stroller for the price! I've got a few nitpicks that are common to nearly every stroller, and the missing features like full recline that might be a dealbreaker for someone else don't matter much to us. At the price I got it for ($118) it is definitely worth the money. At the current price of $159, I'm not so sure. If you're interested in this stroller, go set up a price alert to watch for price drops.
UPDATE: after one week and a beach vacation
As we knew ahead of time, the wheels are no good for sand. We didn't even try. Boardwalk is a bumpy ride but the girls don't seem to mind. The recline is slight enough that they don't object too strenuously, but still enough for them to nap.
The baskets have front access which I didn't think notable before, but is actually very, very handy, particularly when using the stroller as high chair. The shoulder straps detach and reattach from the belt easily so that it becomes a 3 point harness, which lets the girls lean forward to use the trays during meals; don't even need to get them out.
Navigating indoors (restaurants, stores) can be a challenge, but as long as all arms and legs remain inside the stroller it's generally workable. The brakes can be operated with a bit of practice in my Reefs flip flops, which have a thick padded thong. Dollar store flip flops would have less luck.
The seats covers are not removable for cleaning in case of bodily fluids, but few strollers actually do have removable, washable seats and certainly not at this price point. Nature's Miracle doesn't stain or damage the seat fabric.
As long as you're not planning on off-roading, this is an A++ vacation stroller.
Update 2: After being gate checked on five flights (no gate check bag), there's no sign of damage or wear. The parent tray seems to pop loose (but not all the way off) when gate checked, so we started removing it and putting the tray in a checked bag prior to flights.
Update 3: We forgot to pop off the parent tray prior to flying and it came off and got lost. Fortunately, replacement parts are readily available and reasonably priced; the parent tray replacement was $12 from the manufacturer.
Also this stroller is OK for the new stricter stroller requirements at Disneyland.
Love love this stroller. As a mom of 5 all 7 & under I currently own 8 strollers. Anywhere from cheap Wal-Mart strollers to double contour strollers. Let me tell ya if you have the space for this one BUY IT! We love it! & I constantly have everyone asking me where they can buy One like it! I am a mom of twins. I also have 2 little ones that are only 13 months apart. This stroller is perfect for all ages!
This is a very good double stroller. The features are excellent. Two of the things we liked about it, and I researched quite a bit before purchasing, are the large sunshades, and the durable foot rest. Many of the smaller double strollers have very small sunshades, which are almost useless, and the foot rests don't seem to do the job - but this stroller made these both very useful. As others have said, the recline is slight. It is not very compact when folded, but that's because of its other features that we thought were more useful for us. The height of the handle is good and we like that it goes all the way across. It also holds the children as they get older. It is a more durable stroller than some of the umbrella double strollers. One thing to keep in mind when collapsing it, for the latch to work, is that the front wheels have to be straight so that they fit well with the rear wheels.
😍😍😍 FINALLY three kids later and I’ve found a stroller with a canopy that ACTUALLY protects my Little’s face from the sun!
Assembly was so easy! Love the easy fold up and unfold. Light weight and rides so smoothly.
Ordered for everyday but mainly for our upcoming Disney trip!
This is THE best double stroller for our family! It's lightweight enough for my myself to get it in and out the large SUV with little effort, it folds very compactly, and THE BEST part is, it has fit through every door we have attempted.
The side by side is great so the kids can still see each other and no ones view is blocked. The handle makes it very easy to push and it steers wonderfully.
Highly recommend this stroller for anyone with two little s

I love how easy this is to maneuver compared to the Graco duo double stroller that I had before. It was easy to put together it's easy to open and close. The only problem I have with it is it's a little bit wider than I thought it was going to be. It doesn't fit through the doorways in our house. Other than that I love how durable it is and it seems very well made. I love the storage baskets and the fact that the trays are removable. My daughter said it's very comfortable. I'm overall very happy with the stroller. In fact after we put it together my daughter didn't want to leave the stroller for about an hour because of how comfortable it was.
Update
After using the stroller for about a week I still love how easy it is to maneuver. However, the kids cup holders are not large enough to hold their drinks or many other sizes of sippy cups. They're pretty worthless. But I still love the stroller.
Easy to put together. Very sturdy. I have twin toddlers who outgrew their double umbrella stroller. This is a much better solution for us to take everywhere. The underneath storage is plenty for us to take small shopping trips without needing a cart. I am able to steer one handed which is very helpful when navigating through doors that do not automatically open. The trays are handy too for snacks and toys or books to keep them entertained while I am going places that would otherwise be boring for the twins. Easy to fold, unfold, and light weight enough for me to lift into our suv one handed. The straps in the seats are fully adjustable for taller or wider children. I love how far the sunshades come down - haven’t tried it in the rain yet but I’m sure they will be kept pretty dry under the canopy.
I bought this stroller for my twin daughters. It seems like they liked it. It comes in pieces but it’s very easy to assemble it. There are couple things that I really like about this stroller: 1. The kids sit next to each other so one doesn’t kick the other one from the back and they can both enjoy the view at the same time. 2. Access to the storage is very easy compared to my previous stroller. 3. It went through all the doors very easily so far and very easy to move around. 4. The canopy is awesome. 5. It’s very easy to fold or open it. 6. The cup holder part for the parents is very convenient.
And, there are two things that made me give a four star; adjusting the straps is a little bit annoying and it takes more space in your trunk than the back to back sitting strollers.
Great price, easy to put together. It steers great, fits through all the door ways I have tried, and turns easily. My favorite part is the shade canopies that can extend and keep the sun off of my babies. I have 6 month old twins and a 2.5 year old, and it works great for all of them. Only (minor) drawbacks are that the seats don’t recline very far back, and when you fold it up it isn’t super small. It fits just right in the back of our suburban, but I can see that it might be hard to fit in smaller vehicles.
This stroller is the perfect stroller! Great size, adequate storage and cup holders for both children and parents! It folds up easily and isn’t too heavy. It was the perfect stroller for our week at Disneyworld with our 3 and 6 year old.
