The Best Double Pushchairs for Growing Families — and Why the Graco Stadium Duo Tops Our List

Two Kids, One Pushchair — Here's What You Need to Know

Expecting your second child or already juggling two little ones? Then you'll know that finding the right double pushchair is one of the most important — and trickiest — purchases you'll make. It needs to be practical, comfortable for both children, easy to fold, and ideally not take up the entire pavement.

We've put together this guide to help you navigate the double pushchair market, and explain why the Graco Stadium Duo Tandem has become a firm favourite for UK families.

Side-by-Side vs Tandem — Which is Right for You?

The first decision most parents face is choosing between a side-by-side buggy or a tandem (one in front of the other). Here's a quick breakdown:

• Side-by-side — both children sit at the same level with equal views, but can be too wide for narrow pavements, shops, and doorways
• Tandem — one child sits in front of the other, making it narrow enough to fit through standard doors and supermarket aisles. Great for urban families

For most families navigating busy UK streets, a tandem pushchair is the more practical choice — and the Graco Stadium Duo does tandem brilliantly.

What to Look for in a Double Pushchair

Beyond the layout, here are the features that matter most:

• Suitable age range — check that both seats can accommodate your children's ages and weights
• Recline options — newborns need a flat or near-flat recline, so check the rear seat goes fully flat
• Car seat compatibility — a travel system option means you can attach infant car seats without disturbing a sleeping baby
• Fold mechanism — with two children in tow, a one-hand fold is a game-changer
• Storage — nappies, snacks, changing bags… you'll need a big basket
• Maneuverability — swivel front wheels make navigating shops and streets much easier

Is the Graco Stadium Duo Right for Your Family?

The Stadium Duo is ideal if you have:

• A newborn and a toddler (up to 3 years / 15kg)
• Two children under 3 years old
• A need for travel system compatibility with Graco car seats
• An active lifestyle and need something practical for busy streets

It's a particularly strong choice for parents who want the flexibility of a travel system from day one, without having to buy a separate single buggy first.

Parenting two young children is a wonderful adventure — but it's also hard work. The right pushchair won't solve everything, but it will make every outing smoother, quicker, and a whole lot less stressful.
