Bugaboo Donkey 3

5 stars

The Bugaboo Donkey is designed to be able to transport one or two children of different ages or twins easily. It provides good storage baskets for shopping, changing bags etc. The Bugaboo Donkey converts from Mono mode to Duo mode in three clicks. The Donkey can be easily converted to two wheel mode to pull across sand.
The Bugaboo Donkey 3 is the updated version for 2020 and the same great features from previous models have been carried through onto the Donkey 3 but it also now features updated fabrics and luxury faux lather finishes to the handles and bumper bar. The weight capacity has also been improved and the Donkey 3 will accommodate a child up to 22 kgs in each seat.
The first 5 images above are the Donkey 3, the following images are Donkey 1

Smart and Stylish. Lovely coloured tailored fabrics. Just 74cms wide in duo mode. Flexible travel system options include seats, carrycots and car seat adaptors. Children can face parents or outwards independently in 21 configurations. Huge handlebar extension will suit parents of all heights. One handed seat recline. One handed seat & carrycot removal, fold and extensions. 74cms wide with seats or carrycots on. Lots of storage space. Folds with seats / carrycots on and freestands.

Large bulky fold (smaller if put in 2 wheel mono mode) but there is a new smaller folding chassis coming out in September 2012. Difficult to convert from Mono to Duo - takes strength and involves bending down / leaning over. No raincover for either small or large storage baskets. Each car seat adds approx 6cms to the side of the frame so this makes the Donkey a large 86cms wide with two car seats on, or 80cms with one car seat one which means that the Donkey will then not fit through a standard doorway.

The V2 has a new flatter fold chassis. However the flatter fold is achieved by removing the rear wheels. Otherwise the fold is the same size if the wheels are left on.

3 wired hood which gives the child more head room.
