Why is the Bugaboo Donkey worth the investment?

The Bugaboo Donkey is designed to grow with your family, converting from a single pram into a side by side double without needing to replace the stroller. Its premium suspension, spacious storage, high quality materials and flexible configurations make it a popular long term choice for families planning for more than one child.

Does the Bugaboo Donkey fit through standard doorways?

Yes. In Mono mode, the Bugaboo Donkey is approximately 60 cm wide and easily fits through standard doorways. When converted to Duo or Twin mode, it's around 74 cm wide, which is still designed to fit through most standard doorways while allowing both children to sit side by side.

When can my baby move from the bassinet to the Bugaboo Donkey seat?

Babies typically move from the bassinet to the seat when they can sit upright with good head and neck control, usually at around 6 months. The seat can then be adjusted to different recline positions as your child grows.

Which capsules are compatible with the Bugaboo Donkey?

With the correct Bugaboo adapters, the Donkey is compatible with a range of popular infant capsules, including selected models from Bugaboo by Nuna, Maxi Cosi, Cybex and Britax. Always check the compatibility guide for your Donkey model and chosen capsule before purchasing.

The Donkey's Defining Feature

The Donkey is the only pram in its class that expands sideways. Its patented frame pulls out laterally to convert from single to side-by-side double in three clicks - and in double mode, it is only 5.5 inches wider than a single, designed to fit standard doorways and lifts without the width penalty that makes most double prams impractical in everyday environments.

Both the Donkey 5 and the newest Donkey 6 share this core design - it is what has made the Donkey the reference point for growing-family prams since Bugaboo introduced the sideways expansion in 2010.

Donkey 5 and Donkey 6

Both generations are available in this collection. The Donkey 5 remains a highly capable double pram, available in separate Mono, Duo, and Twin configurations, and currently available at EOFY pricing.

The Donkey 6 is the newest evolution, arriving as a 2-in-1 pram that configures to single or double as needed from a single product, with 50% more underseat storage than the Donkey 5, fully recycled outer fabrics, and updated design detailing including colour-coordinated harnesses and lighter wheels.

The Donkey 5 is the right call for families who want proven performance at strong value; the Donkey 6 is the choice for those who want the latest generation with its sustainability and storage improvements.

Configurations - Mono, Duo and Twin

The Donkey range is available in three configurations. Mono is the single-pram setup - everything a first child needs, with the frame's expansion capability waiting for when it is needed. Duo pairs seats for two children of different ages, with each seat independently adjustable.

Twin positions two identical seats for same-age children, making it the standard configuration for families with twins. Duo Extension Sets for the Donkey 5 allow a Mono to be converted later; the Donkey 6's 2-in-1 design includes this flexibility from the outset.

Bugaboo Donkey Accessories

The accessories in this collection cover both Donkey 5 and Donkey 6 requirements. Sibling seats, bassinet fabrics, breezy and standard sun canopies, car seat adapters for Mono/Duo and Twin configurations, rain covers, and bassinet height adapters are all available. Travel system bundles pairing the pram with the Bugaboo Turtle capsule come in Mono, Duo, and Twin variations for the Donkey 5, and as a bundle option for the Donkey 6.
