Umbrella Strollers

Umbrella strollers - which get their name from the curved double handles and from the fact that they fold up easily and compactly like an umbrella - are the smallest, lightest and simplest baby strollers available.

These strollers are simple, no hassle and compact. They can have a cloth or vinyl seat on a basic frame with swivel wheels or can have convenience features such as a sun canopy and storage basket. This is a great second stroller you can use as a backup form of transportation for short trips where you don’t have to haul a lot of stuff with you.

Be aware that these strollers are generally designed for children that are at least 6 months old and able to sit unassisted in an upright position.
