Best Reclining Umbrella Stroller Reviews: Our Adjustable Favorites

“Summer Infant’s 3D Lite is the least expensive reclining umbrella stroller I recommend, and one of the cheapest models I recommend in any category. It’s simple, lightweight, and convenient. While it can’t compete with a premium UPPAbaby for build quality or smart design, it’s extremely good for the price!

At 13 pounds, this is a true umbrella stroller! It’s super light, but the aluminum frame retains a lot of strength. You can carry it comfortably over your shoulder with the built-in carrying strap.

Despite its low weight and low price, I appreciate how many features and conveniences there are on the Summer Infant. It has plenty of storage space, plus an adjustable canopy and footrests.

Unlike other models at this price, the Summer Infant reclines almost flat! It’s easy to adjust to keep your kids comfortable on the go, and the range is practically the same as you’d have on a full-size, heavier stroller. The seat harness is adjustable to suit growing kids in a range of positions, too, so it’s safe no matter how you configure it.

On the downside, it’s not as sturdy as the UPPAbaby. There are also a lot of little tweaks that make the UPPAbaby a better stroller overall. It’s more ergonomic, versatile, and convenient. Still, if you don’t want to spend more than $100, the Summer Baby is an impressive little set of wheels!”

“Delta Children’s LX Side By Side Tandem stroller is my favorite reclining umbrella stroller for two kids. It’s as light and compact as you’d expect from an umbrella model, but it fits two children into the seating area.

No only is this one of very few double umbrella strollers that recline, but it features two independently reclining seats. You can adjust both children as each needs. How’s that for full functionality? There are independent sunshades as well, so each child’s seating area is completely customizable.

I especially love how little changes coming to this from a single umbrella stroller. Most lightweight doubles lose a lot of the convenience of an umbrella stroller for their larger size and weight. Not the Delta! Despite the seats and lots of storage space, it weighs less than 20 pounds, folds compactly with a simple mechanism, and fits through standard doorways.

If you’re looking for a reclining double umbrella stroller, I don’t think there’s any question that the LX is the best option on the market.”

“UPPAbaby’s G-Lite is an absolutely stellar stroller. It’s my favorite lightweight single stroller in any category, not just because the seat happens to recline. The G-Lite is lightweight, convenient, and extremely well-made.

One of the most impressive things about the UPPAbaby is that it’s sturdier than the Summer Infant despite being just as light. The weight rating allows for an extra 5 pounds, too. It’s safe for kids up to 55 pounds.

Practically every component on the UPPAbaby is upgraded and tweaked in some way from standard designs. The mesh sling seat particularly is a fantastic design feature for the summer. It provides excellent ventilation without being uncomfortable or flimsy. The UPPAbaby also features the best handling and suspension I’ve found on an umbrella stroller.

Zipper recline functionality offers a wide range of adjustments and is extremely easy to use. You can have your child anywhere from fully-upright to fully-flat.

All told, I think this is by far the best reclining umbrella stroller bring sold today. The only quibble I have with the G-Lite is that to shave off even more weight on the most recent version, UPPAbaby removed the ability to stand the stroller up on its own when it’s in the folded position. Still, that’s a very minor downside since it’s so comfortable to carry over the shoulder!”
