Bugaboo Donkey 6 Single to Double Stroller

The Bugaboo Donkey is one of the most unique strollers on the market because of its ability to expand width wise to hold two children - whether that's a newborn in a bassinet with an older sibling, twins in car seats/bassinets, or two toddlers side-by-side. Because of its versatility and ability for so many configurations, it can also be a bit confusing.

If you're using the Bugaboo Donkey for one child, you are using it in "Mono" mode. This simply means for one child. You can choose to either use the bassinet fabric (included in box with stroller) for a baby under 6 months old, or a compatible car seat. If you're using the Bugaboo Donkey in single mode with a car seat, you'll need a car seat adapter. All compatible car seats require an adapter to be used with the stroller.

The Donkey is so unique because it not only has an under storage basket, but it also comes with a side basket that can be used when the stroller is in Mono mode. This basket is great for holding things that you want quicker and easier access to! 

The great thing about Mono mode is it is ready to expand to "Duo" mode (two riders) whenever you're ready! You can expand the frame to hold the seat PLUS a compatible car seat side-by-side. However, if you want to be able to do any of the other configurations and you did not purchase the Donkey in Duo mode originally, you will need to purchase the Extension Set. The Extension Set Complete includes every component of your second seat to turn your Donkey into a double! It includes: 

• seat/bassinet frame
• seat fabric
• canopy
• carry handle
• canopy wires
• canopy clamps
• rain cover

What does a Donkey seat/bassinet frame mean? Bugaboo has actually combined both the toddler seat frame and bassinet frame into one! That means that when you are initially pulling your Donkey stroller out of the box, you will have the option to put either the bassinet fabric (if they are newborn to 6 months), or the toddler seat fabric onto the frame (6 months to 50 lbs). Then once baby has grown out of the bassinet, you will swap the fabric on the frame to the toddler seat material for the remaining years.

What if you're expecting twins? The amazing thing about the Bugaboo Donkey is two bassinets or two car seats or two regular seats can fit side-by-side as your twins grow from newborn to preschool age!

But don't fret if you purchased your Donkey a couple years ago and are now expecting twins! You can purchase the Extension Set plus extra bassinet fabric if you only have the Donkey in Mono OR if you have the Duo you would only need to purchase an extra bassinet fabric. 

*Please note that each Donkey model will require that specific model fabric and frame to be compatible.

Yes, the Bugaboo Donkey stroller fits through doors with one or two seats attached. The Donkey stroller is 29" wide in Duo or Twin mode with two seats attached, and just 23.6" wide in Mono mode with one seat attached.

Per the ADA, doors to most businesses are 36" wide on average for accessibility, with some narrower doors as narrow as 32", which provides enough space for the Donkey stroller to pass without issue.

Attaching one or two infant car seats to the Donkey stroller adds to the overall width due to the placement of the car seats, and the exact additional width will depend on which car seat brand you select. If needed, parents with twins may need to remove one infant car seat from the stroller to fit through narrower, 32" doorways that would otherwise fit the Donkey with two toddler seats or two bassinets.
