Bugaboo Donkey 6 Double Stroller

Name: Bugaboo Donkey 6 Double Stroller- Heritage Black
Brand: Bugaboo
Rating: 7.6 (4 reviews)

The BubsNest Verdict

This is the Swiss Army knife of pushchairs with brilliant modularity that expands from single to double, but it's heavy and bulky even when folded. Perfect for families planning multiple children who want one system to rule them all; skip it if you have a small car boot or regularly navigate tight spaces.

⚠️The folding mechanism is surprisingly cumbersome for such a premium pushchair, and it takes up significantly more car boot space than you'd expect even when collapsed.

“Versatile double stroller praised for quality, but can be heavy and bulky”

7.6

Solid Choice

The Bugaboo Donkey 6 is a well-regarded double stroller that parents find very versatile, able to accommodate one or two children from birth up to the toddler years. Many appreciate its premium materials and smooth ride, but some caution it can be heavy and bulky, especially when folded, which may make it less suitable for city living or frequent car travel. Overall, it seems a solid choice for families seeking a high-quality, flexible pram system, though the size and weight may be drawbacks for some.

What parents love

Versatile designParents highlight the Donkey 6's ability to adapt from a single to a double stroller, and to accommodate children from newborn to toddler.

Premium materials and constructionReviewers praise the Donkey 6's sturdy, well-made frame and high-quality fabrics, which they say give it a premium feel.

Smooth rideMany note the Donkey 6 provides a comfortable, easy-pushing ride, thanks to its large wheels and suspension.

Worth knowing

Heavy and bulkyA common complaint is that the Donkey 6, especially when folded, is quite heavy and large, which can make it difficult to lift and transport, particularly in city environments or when getting in and out of cars.

ExpensiveSome parents note the high price tag of the Donkey 6, though they generally feel the quality justifies the cost.

Challenging to foldA few reviewers find the folding mechanism on the Donkey 6 to be fiddly and not as straightforward as they'd like.

Best for

Families seeking a high-quality, flexible double stroller system
Parents who don't mind a larger, heavier pram and have the space to store it

May not suit

City dwellers with limited storage space or who frequently need to lift the stroller in and out of cars
Parents looking for an ultra-compact, lightweight double buggy

Tips from parents

Before You Buy

Consider your living situation and how you'll transport the stroller - the Donkey 6 is large and heavy when folded.

Getting the Most Out of It

Take time to familiarise yourself with the folding mechanism, as some find it tricky at first.

Safety Note

Always use the safety harness to secure your child, as the Donkey 6's large size could make it unstable if not used properly.
