Donkey 2

We had the Donkey 2 for our twins. Used it for around 3.5 years, it was freaking fantastic. Was quite expensive, about 2500 Canadian all in plus some winter accessories, etc. Was able to sell everything around 1200 bucks to a pair expecting twin parents.

We just got this for our twins (coming in March), and after chatting with a few people, this is supposedly the best twin stroller. We were able to find an older model on Facebook marketplace for about $1,100 cheaper than the store, so we were glad to pay that price! If you go the used route, just be aware that at some point bugaboo changed their design slightly, so finding extra accessories might be a challenge. We’re currently on the lookout for bassinet fabric, and the lady we spoke with at the store said we’ll probably have better luck if we look second hand. Still glad we made this purchase though! It’s the only twin stroller we could find where both seats faced the parent and were side by side.

My wife convinced me to get a bugaboo donkey and I originally thought she was insane because they were so expensive but it was probably the best piece of twin equipment we bought. We also have 3 big dogs and live in Canada. I was the guy in the This thing was like a tank. Went over snow, ice, grass, dirt, sand, wood chips easily. Very easy to move and turn, folded up really easily into the back of the minivan. Lasted us 4 years with only the most minor of issues. Try to find one on marketplace to reduce the cost or go for an older model. We had the Donkey 2 and it was a life saver. Could not recommend it more. Edit: never had any issues fitting through doors like some other people are saying. It was tight but we made it

I have had the bugaboo donkey2 for 5 yrs and it's still going strong! Still pushes smoothly even with all 3 kids on the stroller, the riding board is placed in a good spot where you aren't constantly kicking it and is excellent in the snow. I can't recommend bugaboo enough and if I only had 1 kid or planned a bigger age gap I would have bought the fox.

I never tried the others so can’t speak for best, but we have the bugaboo donkey. Bought a v2 secondhand. It is quite a piece so if you have a smaller car and plan to travel places to go out often maybe not the best as it is quite heavy to carry around. But if you like us use it primarily from the home and need something sturdy but easy to manoeuvre- it is perfect! Newer models are lighter tbf if you can find. They are pricey but lasts for a long time as it can adjust from bassinet to sitting, and the durability means there are good ones to find secondhand.

Got a bugaboo donkey. For us that is perfect! It is easy to manoeuvre as other have mentioned, fits through most doors in our area unless there’s something blocking. I use ours often as i walk around a city as well as parks so need something sturdy to manage the many curbs, potholes. So if you want a side by side or tandem I think that might be something you need to consider. I know twin parents with the tandem that loves it except(!) the weight distribution when moving up and down and around our at times crappy streets lol. But they only use it extremely occasionally so are ok with it. we got a 2 secondhand, but newer models are available and def. the weight does get better the newer the model.

So we have the bugaboo donkey as well and tbh we love it! We bought ours secondhand, and it came with the car seat adapter. The car seat adapter worked with the car seat we were planning to get regardless. (For us the car seat feature was only a bonus, we used it 4 times.. so not a necessity, just a nicety that worked out) Secondhand you can get them for a very decent price. The main benefit is really that it is sturdy, easy to manoeuvre (at least I find it so), we live in pothole and high curb heavy city centre and we have no issues whatsoever, + it will grow with you until toddler age.

We’re only 11 months but still forward facing, and I can’t see that changing quite yet. I can’t see us changing before 1.5 years atm, but honestly I think it will depend on them a lot. Some babies prefer to see their parents, whilst others are just loving to watch the world and might prefer outward facing. We bought ours secondhand! Love love second hand.

I know it’s been a while since your comment but which one did you get? I just purchased a Donkey 2 in very good condition but I haven’t seen much feedback on it since it’s an older model. Everything seems to be about the Donkey 5.

We love our bugaboo donkey 2. Very light weight, turns easily and it's great to be able to look at both kids. Fits through all doors we have encountered yet. Only with our car seats (maxi cosi's) on top (with the adjustment piece) we have had some difficulties since it makes the stroller just a tad wider. We actually choose between the same ones as you. The dealbreaker was actually being able to see both kids.
