I always respect a review from a genuine mother who uses it regularly. Twin pushchairs are so much better than twenty years ago when I had a silver cross tandem, and a graco tandem, as well as a maclaren triple buggy when my son came along so I had 3 babies in 25 months. I then had a graco side by side along with a single one and their dad pushed one and I pushed t'other.
Aw I’m so glad you liked my review! Yes we’re so thankful for the resources that exist now days! 3 in 25 months wow! Go mama! I heard there are even three-seat strollers now - or quad wonderfold wagon is another good one. Thanks for watching!
This twin stroller is amazing! They keep making strollers better and better!! I thought we had great strollers back in the day (when we had our first baby 10 years ago), but only now those strollers seem ancient :) Thank you for sharing!!
Thank you so much. Having twins and I’ve been looking for a stroller and you’re the only one that gave an amazing review on a twin stroller. Everyone just talk about their stroller and don’t show it like this.
I just bought this stroller for my sister! She has a 1yr old and is due this Sept. The thing that sold me was the side by side seats. I did not want to "stack" seats on top of each other and only have one child visible. So excited to pick it up today!
That’s awesome!! Yes I loved that they were side by side too, super important to see both babies! 🥰🥰 thanks for watching & congrats to your family & sister!!
Soon-to-be twin mom here as well, and I feel you! It's hard to find something that's efficient, convenient and great to use over a long time. I also hate shopping and for things I know I will use daily, I rather invest than buy twice! I also really love the idea of the BOB revolution flex 3.0 duallie, but apparently, only one car seat would fit in. It's more meant for two kids where one is slightly older than the other.
Congratulations on expecting twins!! Yes that was definitely part of my mindset too when we were first researching strollers! Our twins are now a year and a half, and the stroller is still everything I could ever wish for - I still use it everyday 🥰 So glad I could share this with you and hope you enjoy it as much as we do if you get it! Let me know what you decide! 🙌
@@aruubajaj hi! Good question! I found this page that lists all the specifications for disney approved strollers: disneyworld.disney.go.com/faq/parks/strollers/ One thing I can say is that this stroller is 29” wide when in double mode. I hope that helps! 😊
@@sandramarques9226 hi! Thanks for watching & good question - I just found a Twitter post where someone asked Bugaboo about this and bugaboo said “yes it is compatible” however I’m sure you’ll probably need an adapter - that’s how we set ours up. Here is the link to that conversation I mentioned on Twitter. Hope this helps! mobile.twitter.com/bugaboo/status/1122812605503086594?lang=en
Hi! This video was super helpful ! Did you use this with car seats when you went in and out of the car on errands ? I’m expecting my second set of twins but my first set was born 10 years ago and I feel like there’s so much new information since then !! When I had my twins 10 years ago we used a car seat holder for two car seats it was a thin frame with horrible wheels but very light so wondering if I should get that again or get a walking stroller that I can use for everything ???
Yes! So glad I could help! I put my baby car seats right into the stroller all the time when my twins were infants, it was great for running errands with them! (Just bring the Adapter based on you’d car seats. We had Nuna pipa car seats.) Congratulations on your second set of twins! - That’s incredible! Hope you enjoy my channel & invite you to subscribe for more new twin mama life/tips!
upstanding review! I really appreciate the time u took to educate us about this stroller. I have a question tho. Up to what age do u think they'll be able to comfortably fit in the stroller? also did you had any problem getting in the shopping mall or walk in the side streets since it looks much wider than the stadium strollers?
Thank you! We switched away from the bassinets and into seats around 6 months old, they did great & I loved that the seats were adjustable to accommodate their size as they grow! It is wide but barely fits through most standard doors (ours in 29” wide with the normal seats)
Hi, thanks for your time to show us this trolley, it is really useful your point of view as a user. I expect twins and I am looking for a trolley that will last for few years and would be practical and this one looks perfect! Could you tell me the smallest size when it is completely folded (e.g. to store in the car)? According to the website seems to be 91x60x24 cm but as far as where I live I have to order it on the internet I prefer to make sure it is suitable to store in my car before buying anything. 😅 thanks a lot
Congratulations on expecting twins! I definitely recommend this! I’m not sure what the measurements are specifically but I can say it fits in the back of my suv when I fold it up - I’ve even filled the back with groceries in addition to the stroller. I hope this helps! Thanks for watching!
Your review has been extremely helpful! I was so excited when you said you have nuna car seats since I have not seen any reviews yet on the use of the nuna adaptor. Your review also validated that this adaptor is compatible with any nuna pipa car seat, not just for the nuna turtle that is exclusive for the bugaboo donkey 3. Thank you for all this info!
So glad I could help! Yes we had to do lots of research to figure that out at the beginning too because I was set on getting nuna carseats! Once we linked up the adapter it worked like magic! 😍
OMG. I love this stroller but did not realize it folded that easily. And I'm on pregnancy number 3 in 3 years!!! 😂 THANK YOU!! I was about to buy a Vista bc I thought I just cannot fold this thing up in the car. Wow. Even the official brand video makes it seem so much more complicated.
So glad you liked it! Here is the link for the stand - (I tried to share an Amazon link but they don’t have it right now, so this is for buybuybaby. www.buybuybaby.com/store/product/bugaboo-stand/1044377045?skuId=44377045&store=&mrkgcl=611&mrkgadid=&enginename=google&mcid=PS_googlepla_nonbrand_strollers_online&product_id=44377045&product_channel=online&adtype=pla&adpos=&creative=263213775502&device=m&matchtype=&network=g&targetid=92700066531432315&&enginename=google&product_id=44377045&product_channel=online&adtype=pla&adpos=&creative=263213775502&device=m&matchtype=&network=g&gclid=CjwKCAjwz5iMBhAEEiwAMEAwGDSYovT73Dec_pKZIym5EHLR4mlgRoPvL76czCY2IRF90ME8qccNzRoCiBcQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
this was SUPER helpful! Thank you for sharing. The Donkey 3 has been on my list but no-one did a video like you. I'm expecting twin baby girls in Feb. Also, thank you for letting us know which carseat you got. I was going down a rabbit hole researching all 9 of the compatible carseats for this stroller. The Nuna Pipa Lite LX was high on my list, but the price was not. How long did you end up using that carseat for?? Just curious. I assume that your order from Amazon is the same as ordering it directly from the bugaboo site?
Thanks!! I’m so glad to know it was helpful for you! We love the stroller! We used the Nuna pipa lite lx car seats for about 14 months (when our twins became too tall) it is pricey but in my opinion we loved it so it was worth it if it made our life easier 😅 The order from Amazon or bugaboo would be the same - the only difference is if you use one of my Amazon links to buy anything on Amazon I make a small commission 🥰 but totally up to you! Congratulations on expecting twins girls soon! It’s the best! 💖
@@SummerWinterMom It was beyond helpful. Thank you! 14 months is longer than I thought-so that's positive! What carseats did you purchase after the 14 months? I clicked your link but the only stroller available is in blue. I know bugaboo has a 100 day trial period, which is nice.
Aw I’m so glad to hear that! The next car seat we bought after the Nuna pipa was Nuna Rava. Of course it stays in the car because of the huge base but we absolutely love it! In fact I have a review on that coming out soon.
Hi. When both seats (not bassinet)are world facing position, are you able to recline them in maximum flat? Today I switched mine from bassinet to sears jar to realize that it’s not reclining together as it’s wider than a frame itself. You can do it in only in parents facing mode though.
Correct, I don’t think the babies are meant to face away from the parents when they’re laying down as it’s important to be able to see them to keep an eye on them.
This is an amazing review and has actually helped me finally make my travel system decision bought it last night ☺️ Completely unrelated question…. What wardrobes do you have ? Im a drawers kinda gal but my hubbys is a wardrobe only guy so i feel like this would solve so many arguements 😂
I was really set on the silvercross wave however I don’t think my Jetta Volkswagen will be able to hold that in my boot. Would this stroller fit no issues? My car is not a hatchback.
That’s a good question - I personally have an SUV so I’m not sure how it would fit in a sedan style car. I can say it does fold up nicely when it’s in the smallest position but it may be best to double check the website for exact measurements of which cars it fits in. I know it’s 29” wide when it’s in double mode. The fit is definitely something to consider. Hope this is helpful and I hope you find the best stroller for you!
Yes! Everywhere I go it has fit through standard doors. The only time it didn’t fit is when our car seats were on it. But just in normal twin mode it’s 29” wide ☺️
I really love/want this stroller lol💗 I have a 1 year old and I'm expecting 3rd baby around November..I was wondering does the stroller come with a 2nd toddler seat or would I have to purchase separately once baby is older?
There are several different set ups but I got the twins one which comes with two bassinets and two seats as well 🙌 and yes, you can use one of each at the same time
Great review! Would you happen to know if they sell the stroller with out the bassinet feature? My twin babies are 6 months and I Dont think I would get any use out of them at this point.😢
Thank you! I’m not sure if they sell it without but you might want to try calling to company to see if they have a way to order it in a certain way - sometimes they can be accommodating like when I first got mine I ordered the grey cover and then asked them to replace the shades with the pink ones and they helped so it’s worth asking, hope this helps!
Hi! I have the same stroller! I love it except I was wondering what your thoughts were on the seat fabric as far as thickness/padding? I feel that the material feels very thin and you can easily feel the hard backing near the head area especially bothers me.. I’m comparing it to the vista I also have n it’s so much more padded.
Hi! It’s definitely something I looked at but it never seemed to be an issue, both my babies always seemed comfortable in there & we usually had them swaddled nice & comfortable when we used them. ☺️ one idea though if it’s a concern is possibly maybe adding something underneath the padding to thicken it? I don’t know, we never tried that but that’s just one idea. Just speaking from our experience our twins were always pretty happy with the padding that came with it ☺️
They do have seat liners you can buy. But I don’t think they go well with the seat! Sizing looks weird! But they do add much more cushion for baby! I’ve done both with and without! Seems fine either way!
Hi thank you for the detailed video. Regarding the car seats, apart from the infant car seats which come with a base to attach in a car how can we attach the regular car seats (ones which come with the stroller) in a car?
Thanks for watching! I’m a little confused about your question. To clarify, the only car seats I used for the stroller are the Nuna pipa car seats. You can use multiple different types of car seats but those are the only ones I used with this stroller (that car seat has a base that stays in the car). The stroller doesn’t car with car seats. It only comes with bassinets and stroller seats.
@@SummerWinterMom Okay thanks for replying. What I meant was the nuna car seats are for infants till they are approx 15 months of age right? Once they grow older we will switch to the stroller seats in the stroller itself but what about in the car? Do we buy different car seats at that time? Sorry for so many questions am new to this world and feeling a little overwhelmed by the number of options out there.
Hey, no worries at all, I totally understand the overwhelm ☺️ So for us we used the Nuna pipa carseats until our twins were too tall for them which was around 13 months for us, then we bought Nuna Rava car seats next. But regarding the bugaboo donkey twin - it comes with bassinets and stroller seats & we started using the stroller seats around 6 months once they outgrew the bassinets. Then we switched the stroller seats and the car seats back and forth in the stroller 🥰 I hope that helps!
Hi momma! I've read the stroller with the seats/bassinets can fit most doorways but not when the car seats are on. Is this true? And if so, did you just resort to baby wearing one of the twins when those happened and you only have the car seats with you? This is my 3rd pregnancy but my first set of twins. I'd been researching for a travel system since I found out I'm having two this time! Lol. Thanks in advance!
Congrats on expecting twins!! Yes that’s true. Most doorways work fine without car seats but with car seats it was slightly wider. Whenever I had to fit through a doorway with both car seats I just took the car seats off and carried them through the door separately from the stroller and then put them back on once through the door, OR you could also wear one baby in a carrier while using it in single mode. But I didn’t come across that issue very often. I hope this helps! Congrats again!
have u tried traveling with this stroller through an airport? is it able to fold with the seats attached before you go on to the airplane? if not, how would you store the seats if detached? is it a little tedious to have to attach and reattach whenever getting into a car? 😅
Great questions - it’s super easy to fold and unfold and remove seats etc when getting into the car, we take it everywhere with us! But as for the airport, when we fly with it we check it at the normal bag drop (it takes a little bit of time to get all situated in the large travel bag - here’s a video of how we pack it to travel on airplanes: ruclips.net/video/bed4YwfQhDw/видео.html ) Otherwise we use the Mountain Buggy bags to maneuver smoothly through the airport with our twins. (Here’s a video of us traveling like that - ruclips.net/video/7bAZsIEwhmE/видео.html ) Hope this helps!
Is this the original bugaboo donkey or the newer 2 or 3 model? And does it matter if i get the original or are there lots of improvements to the newer ones?
This one specifically is the Bugaboo Donkey 2! When I bought it, that model was the newest model, but to my knowledge the 3 is very similar. I heard the difference between the original and the “2” is the oldest one had air in the tires and then the “2” has foam-filled tires. I hope this helps! 🥰
Is the storage compartment underneath universal for the bugaboo strollers? Mine doesn't seem to fit. Also, what issues have you had getting through most door ways?
Hi! The storage compartment underneath came with this stroller. As far as fitting through doorways - only in really old houses where the doorway is smaller than average have we had issues fitting through. Otherwise it fits through most standard door frames. The only other thing to know is that the car seats make it wider if you have two car seats on it (we had Nuna pipa infant carseats) and sometimes to get through a door we would take the car seat off for a minute then push the stroller through and then put the car seat back onto the adapter. Hope this helps!
So I just want to be clear and sure about my purchase. So your saying the buggaboo double stroller for twins , comes with two bassinets, two seats ? Does the adapter for car seats to click on comes with it or is the separate? And for car seats the nuna lite can click on the buggaboo stroller ? It doesn’t have to be the buggaboo car seat right
Hey girl! Yes - just make sure it’s the twin version to come with two seats and two bassinets (versus the duo version only comes with one of each I think). Of course their customer support may be more helpful 😁 but my twin donkey came with two of everything! 😍 The adapter is separate (because there are different ones depending on what car seats you used) I bought my adapter on Amazon. (My twins’ car seats were the nuna pipa lite lx and it worked great!) 😊
I also have this stroller. And I definetly agree with everything you said. The only thing I don't like is that the seats are a bit small. So where the bottom of the baby, for example my 15 month old, is getting, there is not much space. it is very small. he kind of leans forward so the straps are holding him more instead of him comfortably sitting all the way to the back. I hope it makes sense. Did you have that problem too or are your children sitting just fine?
I never really had that issue and my kids were pretty tall but we enjoyed it for as long as we could until they got big enough to not want to sit in the stroller anymore 😅 but I’m glad you enjoyed the video and agreed! Thanks for watching!
One question I had with this stroller when car seats are attached is did you have trouble going through standard doorways? Or going through aisles in grocery stores?
It’s slightly wider with the carseats attached, so doorways are difficult - really it fits fine without the carseats but for some single sided door ways with the carseats may not work. But most places I didn’t have any issues. Just depends on where you’re going, I loved being able to see both of my babies in their carseats though
Hi! There are lots of different options - you can get an adapter depending on which seats you have. Here is an article that should have some good information on this: strolleria.com/collections/infant-car-seats-compatible-with-bugaboo-donkey?gclid=CjwKCAjws8yUBhA1EiwAi_tpEX-sqSvBK-1ymJ5k7B3zXpMb1z1Ha-L3mqy4pp8jkknJXs05wokQNBoCuZgQAvD_BwE Hope this helps & congratulations!
I wish I had a personalized link for you! But even though I don’t have any deals available for that product at this time for you I am happy to share their company website if you are looking to get the same car seats - we personally love these! 😍 nunababy.com/usa/pipa-lite-lx-infant-car-seat
I just found out with the Mountain Buggy Duet you can also have a side by side double where both children face you. The carry cot plus can be converted into a rear facing seat. Of course it will be a narrow seat, but you have that with all side by side doubles. I thought the Donkey was the only widely available one with 2 rear facing seats, but I was wrong.
I looked at that one and was really excited until I realised the toddler seats don't rear face and the twin car seat adaptor has one baby higher than the other. The seats max out at 40 lbs but the Donkey maxes out at 50 lbs. It's a good alternative but missing a few things that I wanted.
@@runningfromabear8354 The car seat mode would only be used for very short trips anyway. In and out of the car if you just need bread and milk from the supermarket. Things like that. I saw somebody in a theme park with their baby in a car seat lately and I think that is irresponsible. They should only be in their car seat for 2 hours at the time, this is for the spine development and breathing. If you go somewhere with the car and put them with the carseat and all on the stroller, than you are extending the car seat time. So you need to be careful with that. And I am starting to think that the maximum weight limit of the seats doesn't always directly correspond with the strength of the build. There are also warranty related choices, advertisement related choices and rules involved in the number of the weight limit that is given. If you want the best indication of the weight that the seat will carry than you need information about how the stroller holds up over time. Big chance that the Donkey will more easily accomodate bigger children, because it is a bigger stroller. That's the pay off. But I think that sling seats in the Mountain Buggy make that it uses the space most efficiently to carry relatively big children in a relatively small stroller.
Thank you for watching! I hope you subscribe for more similar content and feel free to let me know in the comments if you ever have any video requests :)
Hey, at what age do you stop using this product? Are you still using your? Really want one but still researching due to the price point. Please, let me know so l can make an educative choice (price analysis). Thank you.
Hi! We started as using our stroller when the twins were born using the bassinets, and then switched to using the upright seats several months later and now still use it everyday and the twins are almost 2 years old. I expect to keep using it for a couple more years ☺️ Thanks for watching!
Now does this one become a mono still? Asking because I’m well on my way to 2 under 2 once I have this baby but my toddler is a runner so I’m looking for a double for that reason but in time I don’t have her I’d like it to be a single.
Aw yes this stroller is definitely an investment. It seemed crazy to us but we’ve used it everyday and found it super valuable. I definitely understand where you’re coming from though
I’m debating since my jogger is already falling apart and old but I’m a mom to two toddlers and a newborn on the way so I really want a stroller for three kids and not have to deal With the bulky wagon…….
Aww yeah I get that. Congratulations on your third! This one is a great stroller for one toddler and one baby or two toddlers but I’m not sure about if it has the ability to hold 3 kids (I’ve actually just recently begun looking into this too in case we have another little one in the future!) I think they may have an extension available that you can use to have a third standing while the other two ride in the seat or bassinet, but not entirely sure. Wagons might be a good option too but I definitely understand not wanting a big clunky wagon - I hope you find the right fit soon!
Hi! I believe you can if you use a single car seat adapter rather than the double adapter - but I would double check if you can find the correct adapter for your carseat that goes with the stroller in single mode before just to be on the safe side
Yes! I was pleasantly surprised about this - Fits through most standard doors with the seats on at 29” wide, but may not fit with the car seats on fyi.
Typically when I’m getting it out of the car I either take it all the way out and then fold up the handle or if there’s enough room in the truck I unfold the legs out while it’s still in the back of the car - that’s slightly more difficult though so maybe try taking it all the way out before unfolding it & maybe that’ll make the button pushing easier? Hope this helps!
You didn’t show the included belly bars for the kids. And I feel snack trays are a necessary accessory. Also cup holder for parents. Great stroller! As you said it’s great to get the brands own accessories. Also bugaboos last decades
True I often forget about the bars because we never use them but they are perfect for carrying the bassinets before they turn into seats! We also bought the cup holders for the kids separately- that’s one thing that I wish came with the stroller.
@@SummerWinterMom With our older kids we never used the snack trays on their strollers. We're expecting twins (14 years since our last child) and just don't see the point in snack trays. I don't know, I just don't like the idea of it. I grew up that we stopped to experience food. Cultural difference maybe?
Personally I loved being able to see both at the same time and with the infant carseats was great too but then again the side by side does make it wider and harder to fit through small doorways so it really depends on where you visualize yourself taking the stroller. Hope this helps a tad!
We are expecting or second set of twins. Our first set in still using stroller. By the time other comes they might not need stroller anymore, but will need double platform that could be attached on twin pram. Has anyone seen stroller board for twins?
Wow that’s amazing! Congratulations!!!! I’ve seen that this has a board that can attach for a 3rd child but I don’t think it can attach for two. I have heard great things about the wonderfold wagon though, which fits 4 kids! If I had a second set I would totally get that one 🙌
Hi you did a beautiful job show everyone the stroller, how about strapping your baby in and the sleep mode good for the baby, otherwise you did a beautiful job and thank you a lot, I really appreciate that very much take care and stay safe.
Thank you so much! That’s a good idea, I’d be happy to show how that specifically works in a future video 🙌 Always happy to hear what everyone else wants to see. Thanks for watching!
The bassinet of the bugaboo donkey is so small and narrow that I would never ever use it as a bed for a new born or baby! Because of the air circulation. Especially as nobody recommends to use a bassinet as a bed (in the night). So the stand is pretty useless to me
This has been super helpful. I really appreciate having an in depth look from someone who isn't a pro pointing out all the features, but an actual mom who just really likes the product for actual practical use.

Glad I could help! Thanks for watching
Thanks for taking the time to do the review. Great job! One question, is it possible to fold with both seats on?
Thank you so much!! Good question, the seats do need to come off to fold, but that just helps it get as small as possible. Hope that helps!
I have been dying for a good review on this stroller! Thank you
Just to confirm, this is Donkey 5 right?
Hi! This video was super helpful ! Did you use this with car seats when you went in and out of the car on errands ? I’m expecting my second set of twins but my first set was born 10 years ago and I feel like there’s so much new information since then !! When I had my twins 10 years ago we used a car seat holder for two car seats it was a thin frame with horrible wheels but very light so wondering if I should get that again or get a walking stroller that I can use for everything ???
Yes! So glad I could help! I put my baby car seats right into the stroller all the time when my twins were infants, it was great for running errands with them! (Just bring the Adapter based on you’d car seats. We had Nuna pipa car seats.) Congratulations on your second set of twins! - That’s incredible!
Hope you enjoy my channel & invite you to subscribe for more new twin mama life/tips!
upstanding review! I really appreciate the time u took to educate us about this stroller. I have a question tho. Up to what age do u think they'll be able to comfortably fit in the stroller? also did you had any problem getting in the shopping mall or walk in the side streets since it looks much wider than the stadium strollers?
Thank you! We switched away from the bassinets and into seats around 6 months old, they did great & I loved that the seats were adjustable to accommodate their size as they grow! It is wide but barely fits through most standard doors (ours in 29” wide with the normal seats)
Hi, thanks for your time to show us this trolley, it is really useful your point of view as a user. I expect twins and I am looking for a trolley that will last for few years and would be practical and this one looks perfect! Could you tell me the smallest size when it is completely folded (e.g. to store in the car)? According to the website seems to be 91x60x24 cm but as far as where I live I have to order it on the internet I prefer to make sure it is suitable to store in my car before buying anything. 😅 thanks a lot
Congratulations on expecting twins! I definitely recommend this! I’m not sure what the measurements are specifically but I can say it fits in the back of my suv when I fold it up - I’ve even filled the back with groceries in addition to the stroller. I hope this helps! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the review!
So glad I could help!
Your review has been extremely helpful! I was so excited when you said you have nuna car seats since I have not seen any reviews yet on the use of the nuna adaptor. Your review also validated that this adaptor is compatible with any nuna pipa car seat, not just for the nuna turtle that is exclusive for the bugaboo donkey 3. Thank you for all this info!
So glad I could help! Yes we had to do lots of research to figure that out at the beginning too because I was set on getting nuna carseats! Once we linked up the adapter it worked like magic! 😍
So this this the nuna car seat adapter ??
OMG. I love this stroller but did not realize it folded that easily. And I'm on pregnancy number 3 in 3 years!!! 😂 THANK YOU!! I was about to buy a Vista bc I thought I just cannot fold this thing up in the car. Wow. Even the official brand video makes it seem so much more complicated.
So glad I could help!! Haha tell the brand that for me please! 😂
So helpful omg omg omg
Yay!!! So glad I could share some value in my review!
Hi
Thank you for this detailed review. Please could you share link to the stand that you used to make this a high chair.
So glad you liked it! Here is the link for the stand - (I tried to share an Amazon link but they don’t have it right now, so this is for buybuybaby. www.buybuybaby.com/store/product/bugaboo-stand/1044377045?skuId=44377045&store=&mrkgcl=611&mrkgadid=&enginename=google&mcid=PS_googlepla_nonbrand_strollers_online&product_id=44377045&product_channel=online&adtype=pla&adpos=&creative=263213775502&device=m&matchtype=&network=g&targetid=92700066531432315&&enginename=google&product_id=44377045&product_channel=online&adtype=pla&adpos=&creative=263213775502&device=m&matchtype=&network=g&gclid=CjwKCAjwz5iMBhAEEiwAMEAwGDSYovT73Dec_pKZIym5EHLR4mlgRoPvL76czCY2IRF90ME8qccNzRoCiBcQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
this was SUPER helpful! Thank you for sharing. The Donkey 3 has been on my list but no-one did a video like you. I'm expecting twin baby girls in Feb. Also, thank you for letting us know which carseat you got. I was going down a rabbit hole researching all 9 of the compatible carseats for this stroller. The Nuna Pipa Lite LX was high on my list, but the price was not. How long did you end up using that carseat for??
Just curious. I assume that your order from Amazon is the same as ordering it directly from the bugaboo site?
Thanks!! I’m so glad to know it was helpful for you! We love the stroller! We used the Nuna pipa lite lx car seats for about 14 months (when our twins became too tall) it is pricey but in my opinion we loved it so it was worth it if it made our life easier 😅
The order from Amazon or bugaboo would be the same - the only difference is if you use one of my Amazon links to buy anything on Amazon I make a small commission 🥰 but totally up to you!
Congratulations on expecting twins girls soon! It’s the best! 💖
@@SummerWinterMom It was beyond helpful. Thank you! 14 months is longer than I thought-so that's positive! What carseats did you purchase after the 14 months? I clicked your link but the only stroller available is in blue. I know bugaboo has a 100 day trial period, which is nice.
Aw I’m so glad to hear that! The next car seat we bought after the Nuna pipa was Nuna Rava. Of course it stays in the car because of the huge base but we absolutely love it! In fact I have a review on that coming out soon.
Thank you for your review.
Did you get the Nuna car seat separately?
Hi! Thanks for watching! Yes we bought the nuna pipa lite lx car seats separate 🥰
Hi. When both seats (not bassinet)are world facing position, are you able to recline them in maximum flat? Today I switched mine from bassinet to sears jar to realize that it’s not reclining together as it’s wider than a frame itself.
You can do it in only in parents facing mode though.
Correct, I don’t think the babies are meant to face away from the parents when they’re laying down as it’s important to be able to see them to keep an eye on them.
I’m sold👏🏻😍
Right?! I felt the same way when I learned about all it could do 😍
This is an amazing review and has actually helped me finally make my travel system decision bought it last night ☺️
Completely unrelated question…. What wardrobes do you have ? Im a drawers kinda gal but my hubbys is a wardrobe only guy so i feel like this would solve so many arguements 😂
I’m so glad you found it helpful! Thanks so much for your support and I hope you love the stroller as much as we do!
Thank you so much!! But how can I remover the “storage bag” I couldn’t it 😞
Thanks for watching! Which bag are you referring to? We bought a travel bag I can share a link to if that’s what you’re looking for?
I was really set on the silvercross wave however I don’t think my Jetta Volkswagen will be able to hold that in my boot. Would this stroller fit no issues? My car is not a hatchback.
That’s a good question - I personally have an SUV so I’m not sure how it would fit in a sedan style car. I can say it does fold up nicely when it’s in the smallest position but it may be best to double check the website for exact measurements of which cars it fits in. I know it’s 29” wide when it’s in double mode. The fit is definitely something to consider. Hope this is helpful and I hope you find the best stroller for you!
Does the twin setting for this stroller fit through doors? Like a standard public door
Yes! Everywhere I go it has fit through standard doors. The only time it didn’t fit is when our car seats were on it. But just in normal twin mode it’s 29” wide ☺️
I really love/want this stroller lol💗 I have a 1 year old and I'm expecting 3rd baby around November..I was wondering does the stroller come with a 2nd toddler seat or would I have to purchase separately once baby is older?
There are several different set ups but I got the twins one which comes with two bassinets and two seats as well 🙌 and yes, you can use one of each at the same time
Great review! Would you happen to know if they sell the stroller with out the bassinet feature? My twin babies are 6 months and I Dont think I would get any use out of them at this point.😢
Thank you! I’m not sure if they sell it without but you might want to try calling to company to see if they have a way to order it in a certain way - sometimes they can be accommodating like when I first got mine I ordered the grey cover and then asked them to replace the shades with the pink ones and they helped so it’s worth asking, hope this helps!
Hi! I have the same stroller! I love it except I was wondering what your thoughts were on the seat fabric as far as thickness/padding? I feel that the material feels very thin and you can easily feel the hard backing near the head area especially bothers me.. I’m comparing it to the vista I also have n it’s so much more padded.
Hi! It’s definitely something I looked at but it never seemed to be an issue, both my babies always seemed comfortable in there & we usually had them swaddled nice & comfortable when we used them. ☺️ one idea though if it’s a concern is possibly maybe adding something underneath the padding to thicken it? I don’t know, we never tried that but that’s just one idea. Just speaking from our experience our twins were always pretty happy with the padding that came with it ☺️
I was thinking the same thing! Do they have padded liners that we can buy for it? I’m not seeing any
They do have seat liners you can buy. But I don’t think they go well with the seat! Sizing looks weird! But they do add much more cushion for baby! I’ve done both with and without! Seems fine either way!
Hi thank you for the detailed video. Regarding the car seats, apart from the infant car seats which come with a base to attach in a car how can we attach the regular car seats (ones which come with the stroller) in a car?
Thanks for watching! I’m a little confused about your question. To clarify, the only car seats I used for the stroller are the Nuna pipa car seats. You can use multiple different types of car seats but those are the only ones I used with this stroller (that car seat has a base that stays in the car). The stroller doesn’t car with car seats. It only comes with bassinets and stroller seats.
@@SummerWinterMom Okay thanks for replying. What I meant was the nuna car seats are for infants till they are approx 15 months of age right? Once they grow older we will switch to the stroller seats in the stroller itself but what about in the car? Do we buy different car seats at that time? Sorry for so many questions am new to this world and feeling a little overwhelmed by the number of options out there.
Hey, no worries at all, I totally understand the overwhelm ☺️ So for us we used the Nuna pipa carseats until our twins were too tall for them which was around 13 months for us, then we bought Nuna Rava car seats next. But regarding the bugaboo donkey twin - it comes with bassinets and stroller seats & we started using the stroller seats around 6 months once they outgrew the bassinets. Then we switched the stroller seats and the car seats back and forth in the stroller 🥰 I hope that helps!
Great 👍 review thank you
So glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching! 🥰
Wow, this looks like an amazing stroller for everything you'd want to do with your kids, and so easy!
Yes! We absolutely love it, definitely makes our life easier 😅😍 Thanks for watching!
Hi momma! I've read the stroller with the seats/bassinets can fit most doorways but not when the car seats are on. Is this true? And if so, did you just resort to baby wearing one of the twins when those happened and you only have the car seats with you? This is my 3rd pregnancy but my first set of twins. I'd been researching for a travel system since I found out I'm having two this time! Lol. Thanks in advance!
Congrats on expecting twins!! Yes that’s true. Most doorways work fine without car seats but with car seats it was slightly wider. Whenever I had to fit through a doorway with both car seats I just took the car seats off and carried them through the door separately from the stroller and then put them back on once through the door, OR you could also wear one baby in a carrier while using it in single mode. But I didn’t come across that issue very often. I hope this helps! Congrats again!
Thank you for answering my questions! BTW, I forgot to mention that this review indeed is great. It's exactly what I needed. Thanks for sharing!
have u tried traveling with this stroller through an airport? is it able to fold with the seats attached before you go on to the airplane? if not, how would you store the seats if detached? is it a little tedious to have to attach and reattach whenever getting into a car? 😅
Great questions - it’s super easy to fold and unfold and remove seats etc when getting into the car, we take it everywhere with us!
But as for the airport, when we fly with it we check it at the normal bag drop (it takes a little bit of time to get all situated in the large travel bag - here’s a video of how we pack it to travel on airplanes: ruclips.net/video/bed4YwfQhDw/видео.html )
Otherwise we use the Mountain Buggy bags to maneuver smoothly through the airport with our twins. (Here’s a video of us traveling like that - ruclips.net/video/7bAZsIEwhmE/видео.html )
Hope this helps!
Is this the original bugaboo donkey or the newer 2 or 3 model? And does it matter if i get the original or are there lots of improvements to the newer ones?
This one specifically is the Bugaboo Donkey 2! When I bought it, that model was the newest model, but to my knowledge the 3 is very similar. I heard the difference between the original and the “2” is the oldest one had air in the tires and then the “2” has foam-filled tires. I hope this helps! 🥰
Is the storage compartment underneath universal for the bugaboo strollers? Mine doesn't seem to fit. Also, what issues have you had getting through most door ways?
Hi! The storage compartment underneath came with this stroller. As far as fitting through doorways - only in really old houses where the doorway is smaller than average have we had issues fitting through. Otherwise it fits through most standard door frames. The only other thing to know is that the car seats make it wider if you have two car seats on it (we had Nuna pipa infant carseats) and sometimes to get through a door we would take the car seat off for a minute then push the stroller through and then put the car seat back onto the adapter. Hope this helps!
So I just want to be clear and sure about my purchase. So your saying the buggaboo double stroller for twins , comes with two bassinets, two seats ? Does the adapter for car seats to click on comes with it or is the separate? And for car seats the nuna lite can click on the buggaboo stroller ? It doesn’t have to be the buggaboo car seat right
Hey girl! Yes - just make sure it’s the twin version to come with two seats and two bassinets (versus the duo version only comes with one of each I think). Of course their customer support may be more helpful 😁 but my twin donkey came with two of everything! 😍
The adapter is separate (because there are different ones depending on what car seats you used) I bought my adapter on Amazon. (My twins’ car seats were the nuna pipa lite lx and it worked great!) 😊
Hey I like this stroller but what car seats did you buy?
We used the Nuna Pipa Lite LX car seats (and bought an adapter to attach them) Loved them!
I also have this stroller. And I definetly agree with everything you said. The only thing I don't like is that the seats are a bit small. So where the bottom of the baby, for example my 15 month old, is getting, there is not much space. it is very small. he kind of leans forward so the straps are holding him more instead of him comfortably sitting all the way to the back. I hope it makes sense. Did you have that problem too or are your children sitting just fine?
I never really had that issue and my kids were pretty tall but we enjoyed it for as long as we could until they got big enough to not want to sit in the stroller anymore 😅 but I’m glad you enjoyed the video and agreed! Thanks for watching!
One question I had with this stroller when car seats are attached is did you have trouble going through standard doorways? Or going through aisles in grocery stores?
It’s slightly wider with the carseats attached, so doorways are difficult - really it fits fine without the carseats but for some single sided door ways with the carseats may not work. But most places I didn’t have any issues. Just depends on where you’re going, I loved being able to see both of my babies in their carseats though
What cart seat are compatible with that stroller a revive one for my baby shower
Hi! There are lots of different options - you can get an adapter depending on which seats you have. Here is an article that should have some good information on this: strolleria.com/collections/infant-car-seats-compatible-with-bugaboo-donkey?gclid=CjwKCAjws8yUBhA1EiwAi_tpEX-sqSvBK-1ymJ5k7B3zXpMb1z1Ha-L3mqy4pp8jkknJXs05wokQNBoCuZgQAvD_BwE
Hope this helps & congratulations!
Thnx for the video. Was this the donkey 5 or 2?
Hi! This was the Donkey twin 2!
Hi there, please did you require an adapter to attach the basinet and seat to the stand?
Hi! No adapter for the bassinet and seat. Only an adapter to the stroller if your putting a car seat on.
@@SummerWinterMom Thank you!
Do you have a link for the car seats ?
I wish I had a personalized link for you! But even though I don’t have any deals available for that product at this time for you I am happy to share their company website if you are looking to get the same car seats - we personally love these! 😍
nunababy.com/usa/pipa-lite-lx-infant-car-seat
Did you ever use the bassinets for the girls? Are they worth using?
Yes we did! We absolutely loved them! 🙌
I just found out with the Mountain Buggy Duet you can also have a side by side double where both children face you. The carry cot plus can be converted into a rear facing seat. Of course it will be a narrow seat, but you have that with all side by side doubles. I thought the Donkey was the only widely available one with 2 rear facing seats, but I was wrong.
Oh that’s good to know! I hadn’t heard of that one either. Thanks for sharing that!
I looked at that one and was really excited until I realised the toddler seats don't rear face and the twin car seat adaptor has one baby higher than the other. The seats max out at 40 lbs but the Donkey maxes out at 50 lbs.
It's a good alternative but missing a few things that I wanted.
@@runningfromabear8354 The car seat mode would only be used for very short trips anyway. In and out of the car if you just need bread and milk from the supermarket. Things like that. I saw somebody in a theme park with their baby in a car seat lately and I think that is irresponsible. They should only be in their car seat for 2 hours at the time, this is for the spine development and breathing. If you go somewhere with the car and put them with the carseat and all on the stroller, than you are extending the car seat time. So you need to be careful with that.
And I am starting to think that the maximum weight limit of the seats doesn't always directly correspond with the strength of the build. There are also warranty related choices, advertisement related choices and rules involved in the number of the weight limit that is given. If you want the best indication of the weight that the seat will carry than you need information about how the stroller holds up over time. Big chance that the Donkey will more easily accomodate bigger children, because it is a bigger stroller. That's the pay off. But I think that sling seats in the Mountain Buggy make that it uses the space most efficiently to carry relatively big children in a relatively small stroller.
I know you posted this a while ago but I was curious how it does on various terrains?
It does pretty good on various terrain- I mean we take in on snow, gravel, dirt & have never had an issue. (Within reason of course) ☺️
Such a good video
Thank you for watching! I hope you subscribe for more similar content and feel free to let me know in the comments if you ever have any video requests :)
Can you fold it with the seats on the frame or do you need to take the seats off every time?
We do have to take the seats off to fold it - that’s one area where I wish the seats could fold too but they just pop off
yes you can fold it with the seats on facing out.
Hi, is it possible to add only one car seat and one stroller seat
Hey I believe it is if you get a single carseat adapter rather than our double adapter 😊 Hope this helps!
Hey, at what age do you stop using this product? Are you still using your? Really want one but still researching due to the price point. Please, let me know so l can make an educative choice (price analysis). Thank you.
Hi! We started as using our stroller when the twins were born using the bassinets, and then switched to using the upright seats several months later and now still use it everyday and the twins are almost 2 years old. I expect to keep using it for a couple more years ☺️
Thanks for watching!
Hi could you please tell me how tall you are? :) I am 181cm tall I really want to buy this pram but I am worried the handle is too low? :(
Yay tall mamas!! I’m taller than that - and it works great for my height 😁🥰
@@SummerWinterMom oh really thank you :) so maybe I should be worried about my husband he is 195cm ha ha :)
Haha of course! & My husband is also much taller than I am and he enjoys the top setting too 😊
Any coupon discount for October 2022 ? Thanks
Hi! So sorry I wish I had one but either way I do highly recommend them! 🙌
Now does this one become a mono still? Asking because I’m well on my way to 2 under 2 once I have this baby but my toddler is a runner so I’m looking for a double for that reason but in time I don’t have her I’d like it to be a single.
Yes! That’s part of why I love the design, it can convert to a single 😍 congratulations on your new little one!
Hey I love your vid the babies are so cuite💚💖💖💚😁😁😁😃❤️💚💖💖💜💜💜💜💜
Aww thank you so much! I appreciate your kind words!
You walcome 😀😃😁♥️
My second kid is 1 year and 7 months about 13 kg and 85cm ,I’m afraid he is to big .Was it big enough for your kids?
Oh my kids still fit and they’re three! This stroller is great for all toddlers in my opinion ☺️
Beautiful twin stroller, i wish i could have one for my twins even if i can't afford to have it😅.. Its too expensive here in philippines..
Aw yes this stroller is definitely an investment. It seemed crazy to us but we’ve used it everyday and found it super valuable. I definitely understand where you’re coming from though
I’m debating since my jogger is already falling apart and old but I’m a mom to two toddlers and a newborn on the way so I really want a stroller for three kids and not have to deal
With the bulky wagon…….
Aww yeah I get that. Congratulations on your third! This one is a great stroller for one toddler and one baby or two toddlers but I’m not sure about if it has the ability to hold 3 kids (I’ve actually just recently begun looking into this too in case we have another little one in the future!) I think they may have an extension available that you can use to have a third standing while the other two ride in the seat or bassinet, but not entirely sure. Wagons might be a good option too but I definitely understand not wanting a big clunky wagon - I hope you find the right fit soon!
Great video. Can you have one car seat with one toddler seat?
Hi! I believe you can if you use a single car seat adapter rather than the double adapter - but I would double check if you can find the correct adapter for your carseat that goes with the stroller in single mode before just to be on the safe side
Hi! Is the the 2 or 3?
Hi! This exact one is the bugaboo donkey twin 2!
Im on my last baby.. would it he crazy to get the donkey mono only
I think it’s completely worth it if you use it a lot like we do 😄
@@SummerWinterMom thank-you yes I don't drive anymore and live in a high walk score neighborhood
Does this fit through door ways and elevators ???
Yes! I was pleasantly surprised about this - Fits through most standard doors with the seats on at 29” wide, but may not fit with the car seats on fyi.
I always have an issue unfolding it out of the car can you help
Typically when I’m getting it out of the car I either take it all the way out and then fold up the handle or if there’s enough room in the truck I unfold the legs out while it’s still in the back of the car - that’s slightly more difficult though so maybe try taking it all the way out before unfolding it & maybe that’ll make the button pushing easier? Hope this helps!
You didn’t show the included belly bars for the kids. And I feel snack trays are a necessary accessory. Also cup holder for parents. Great stroller! As you said it’s great to get the brands own accessories. Also bugaboos last decades
True I often forget about the bars because we never use them but they are perfect for carrying the bassinets before they turn into seats! We also bought the cup holders for the kids separately- that’s one thing that I wish came with the stroller.
@@SummerWinterMom With our older kids we never used the snack trays on their strollers. We're expecting twins (14 years since our last child) and just don't see the point in snack trays. I don't know, I just don't like the idea of it. I grew up that we stopped to experience food. Cultural difference maybe?
I need help so bad... I'm so overwhelmed. Not sure of tandem or side by side .? Infant car seats or not?
Personally I loved being able to see both at the same time and with the infant carseats was great too but then again the side by side does make it wider and harder to fit through small doorways so it really depends on where you visualize yourself taking the stroller. Hope this helps a tad!
We are expecting or second set of twins. Our first set in still using stroller. By the time other comes they might not need stroller anymore, but will need double platform that could be attached on twin pram. Has anyone seen stroller board for twins?
Wow that’s amazing! Congratulations!!!! I’ve seen that this has a board that can attach for a 3rd child but I don’t think it can attach for two. I have heard great things about the wonderfold wagon though, which fits 4 kids! If I had a second set I would totally get that one 🙌
@@SummerWinterMom ouh wow! This is good 😊 thank you!!
@@dungotaajaof course! So glad I could help!
Hi you did a beautiful job show everyone the stroller, how about strapping your baby in and the sleep mode good for the baby, otherwise you did a beautiful job and thank you a lot, I really appreciate that very much take care and stay safe.
Thank you so much! That’s a good idea, I’d be happy to show how that specifically works in a future video 🙌 Always happy to hear what everyone else wants to see. Thanks for watching!
How about the width? Does it fit into doors and elevators?
Yep! It’s 29” wide
(But slightly wider with car seats)
Where can I buy this
Hey! All the information and links are available in the video description 🙂 hope you love it as much as we do!
Is it a good jogger
I don’t really jog much but it is very smooth and I would think it would make a good jogger
Hi
Hi!
The bassinet of the bugaboo donkey is so small and narrow that I would never ever use it as a bed for a new born or baby! Because of the air circulation. Especially as nobody recommends to use a bassinet as a bed (in the night). So the stand is pretty useless to me
Worked fine for both our twins 😌 but everyone has different preferences. Hope this video was helpful
Sure if u don't mind paying 800$ for a stroller
For a TWIN stroller that’s typical. If you can find anything cheaper it will probably fall apart.
