A very popular type of baby stroller is known as the umbrella stroller. The reason for the name grows apparent when you see how the unit is made. It is light and the metal bars that shape the part of the frame for the sling that serves as the seat come up and both curve downward in a shape similar to an umbrella handle. The popularity of this infant stroller is due to its exceedingly light weight, ease of maneuverability, the decreased space needed for storage and its very low-cost price. Umbrella strollers tend to be the lightest, smallest and least pricey of all strollers and also come in lightweight double stroller styles.

If a mom needs a lightweight stroller so she can take her baby for a stroll (or even a jog) around the block, the umbrella stroller may be the ticket. If mom requires the same maneuverability with at least a small amount of storage space for a few items (diaper bag, Binky, and bottle) lightweight double strollers or just a single lightweight infant stroller may help her better. If she will be walking to shops with the baby, a bigger carriage with storage for purchases may be a better alternative.
