Bambi Baby and Nuna have you covered. In this article, we’ll review Nuna’s stroller collection to help you determine which model best suits your family’s lifestyle and everyday needs. Nuna Travel Systems If you’re brand new to the world of baby gear, let’s start with the basics. A travel system is a stroller and infant car seat combo designed for quick transitions in and out of the car. This setup allows you to remove your baby’s car seat from the vehicle and click it directly onto the stroller—without unbuckling or disturbing your little one. While it’s always recommended to choose a stroller that offers a fully flat recline or a bassinet for newborn use, having travel system compatibility adds a level of convenience most parents find hard to pass up. All of Nuna’s strollers are compatible with all Nuna PIPA Infant Car Seats. Nuna’s PIPA series is known for industry-leading safety features, lightweight design, and GREENGUARD Gold Certification, which ensures cleaner air for your baby from day one. Depending on the model, some Nuna strollers offer direct compatibility—meaning the PIPA car seat clicks right in without adapters. The rest include adapters in the box for an easy connection. In short, every Nuna stroller can be used as a travel system with Nuna infant car seats. Now, let’s explore the current lineup of Nuna strollers.

Bugaboo Donkey 6 | New 2026 Bugaboo Product Review and Comparison
Bugaboo is one of the most trusted mobility brands in the world, consistently delivering on exceptional quality and performance. Known for high-end, premium baby gear that spans from innovative strollers to thoughtfully designed home essentials, Bugaboo has built its reputation on craftsmanship and innovation. While many stroller manufacturers source parts and components from multiple factories around the world, every component of a Bugaboo stroller is made in their own factory, giving the brand direct oversight of quality control, manufacturing practices, and an ethical factory environment. That level of hands-on precision is part of what sets Bugaboo apart in the premium stroller market. While the Bugaboo Cameleon catapulted the brand to stardom after its unforgettable guest appearance on Sex and the City and earned true icon status, the Donkey has since become the most tenured model in the Bugaboo lineup and a staple for growing families everywhere. Bugaboo whimsically names their strollers after animals, with each name reflecting the size and capabilities of the design. As expected from its name, the Donkey can carry quite a load—up to three children, plus an impressively generous storage capacity. The Donkey is a single-to-double convertible design with a major claim to fame: it is the only single stroller that converts into a double side-by-side stroller. Convertible strollers have gained significant traction over the last decade, giving families the ability to invest in one stroller that grows alongside their family, requiring only minimal additional purchases for a second or third child rather than investing in multiple strollers over time. While most convertible strollers feature a longer frame that accommodates a second seat added to the front lower portion of the stroller—creating a tandem setup—the Donkey expands horizontally to become a true side-by-side double stroller. This design is perfect for parents who prioritize easy maneuverability and meaningful bonding time with both children riding side by side. What's New with the Bugaboo Donkey 6? Bugaboo Donkey 5 vs. Bugaboo Donkey 6 New for 2026, the Bugaboo Donkey 6 stays true to its original core DNA and functionality while introducing key updates that enhance usability, comfort, and style. Improvements to the bassinet, side luggage storage, undercarriage basket, and seat styling take center stage in this refreshed 2026 design, refining an already beloved stroller without compromising what families have come to rely on. Bugaboo Donkey 6 New Features Bassinet: Twice as large breezy panels for improved airflow, soft organic cotton lining, extended apron with pocket Under Carriage Basket: 50% more storage space with increased capacity to 33 lbs Side Luggage Storage: Change from basket to a changing bag can now attach to the stroller handlebar for duo and twin mode (still attaches aside seat/bassinet in mono mode) Seat: Fabric now covers footrest and color matching harness for a cleaner look. Integrated back seat pocket Wheels: Lighter weight, size remains the same 10" front/ 12" rear Eco-friendly: Durable recycled fabrics Bugaboo Donkey 6 Lifestyle Match The Bugaboo Donkey 6 caters beautifully to families in urban, suburban, and rural environments. It pairs seamlessly with an infant car seat for travel system use, a must-have feature for suburban families constantly moving from car to curb. Its large, all-terrain wheels allow it to shine during long suburban walks, rural trail adventures, and even beach outings. At the same time, it excels for city families seeking a stroller that serves as their primary mode of transportation for everyday use while navigating busy streets. Storage is where the Donkey 6 truly stands out. From its side luggage bag—which connects directly to the stroller frame next to the seat for easy access and holds up to 22 pounds of essentials—to its spacious undercarriage basket with a 33-pound capacity, this stroller is designed to carry everything you need for a full day on the go. The Donkey 6 boasts one of the highest cargo capacities in the world of premium strollers. Ideal for park trips, picnics, beach days, farmers markets, and even Disney World, the Donkey is thoughtfully engineered to carry your little one in ultimate comfort and style—plus all the “stuff” that inevitably comes along with them. The Donkey 6 features large 10-inch front wheels and 12-inch rear puncture-proof wheels paired with advanced suspension, delivering rugged reliability. Considered truly all-terrain, it maneuvers with ease through snow, sand, broken sidewalks, and even hiking trails, all while providing a cushioned ride. Its standout sand and stair mode allows the stroller to be pulled trolley-style on its two larger back wheels, making it possible to navigate stairs or deeper snow—managing what can feel impossible with almost any other stroller. Right out of the box, the Donkey 6 accommodates a newborn with its included bassinet, which later transitions into the toddler seat for use up to 50 pounds, providing exceptional stage-appropriate comfort at every age. Its new side luggage bag doubles as a changing diaper bag, adding tremendous value straight out of the initial package. It can be used both on and off the stroller, attaching easily and securely directly to the stroller frame. It’s safe to say the Donkey 6 is a match for any family seeking an everyday stroller built to last through years of use and designed to tackle weekend adventures and daily life in between. Bugaboo Donkey 6 Configurations The Bugaboo Donkey 6 can accommodate one to three children, offering Mono mode for one child, Duo mode for two children of different ages, and Twin mode for newborn twins up to 50 pounds per seat. Bugaboo’s separately sold ride-on board can be attached to transport a third child when tired legs decide they’re done walking for the day. Bugaboo Donkey 6 Mono Mono mode includes everything needed for one child from birth to 50 pounds in the Donkey 6 base box. The stroller includes a bassinet kit, toddler seat fabric, canopy, side luggage bag, and one seat frame that supports the bassinet from birth to six months and then transitions to the stroller seat fabric from six months up to 50 pounds. Bugaboo Donkey 6 Duo Duo mode is designed for two children of different ages. To achieve this configuration, two boxes are required: the Bugaboo Donkey 6 Mono Stroller and the Donkey 6 Sibling Seat. If you are converting from single to double, only the sibling seat purchase is required—no additional adapters are needed. With three simple unclicks of the stroller frame and a quick pull, the frame expands horizontally to create its double stroller configuration. The sibling seat clicks into the integrated adapters originally used to hold the included side luggage bag. In its double configuration, the side luggage bag attaches to the stroller’s integrated handlebar connection points, though its weight capacity decreases from 22 pounds to 8.8 pounds when mounted in this position. Bugaboo Donkey 6 Twin Twin mode follows the same structure as the double configuration, with the exception of an additional Donkey 6 Twin Bassinet purchase. This allows two newborns to ride side by side in independent bassinets up to six months, and later transition to side-by-side reversible stroller seats up to 50 pounds per child. For a full break down of Bugaboo Donkey 6 Configurations and how to convert, continue reading with Every Configuration of the Bugaboo Donkey Explained Bugaboo Donkey 6 Travel System The Bugaboo Donkey 6 offers full travel system capabilities, allowing it to pair with an infant car seat for seamless on-the-go convenience. Bugaboo offers both a Mono Adapter, compatible in single and double stroller configurations, and a Twin Adapter that allows the Donkey to hold two infant car seats side by side—another unique and hard-to-find stroller feature. The universal Donkey infant car seat adapters provide flexible compatibility across several brands. However, for the most cohesive, on-brand experience and elevated styling, we recommend the Bugaboo Turtle Air Shield by Nuna for Bugaboo. This pairing delivers the advanced safety features Nuna is known for, combined with the premium design and branding families expect from Bugaboo.

It’s a standout option in every configuration. Whether you’re shopping for one baby and planning to use it strictly as a single stroller, preparing for your first while thinking ahead to baby number two, searching for a versatile double stroller, or expecting twins, the Donkey 6 deserves serious consideration in every scenario. As an extension of our Donkey 6 new release review, we’re excited to provide thorough and unbiased comparisons that highlight how the Donkey 6 stacks up against today’s most popular single, convertible, double, and twin strollers. No matter how many children you’re shopping for now—or planning to transport in the future—our goal is to help you make an educated, informed decision you can feel completely confident about. For a full comparison of our favorite strollers, continue reading with Best Strollers of 2026 Is the Bugaboo Donkey 6 the Best Single Stroller Comparing Single Strollers By design, the Bugaboo Donkey 6 is a single-to-double stroller, placing it squarely in the convertible stroller category. This category is typically explored by families expecting baby number one but planning to grow their family quickly and invest in a stroller that can seamlessly accommodate two under two. However, we strongly recommend considering the Donkey 6 even if you plan to use it exclusively as a single stroller. With so many premium convertible strollers on the market, first-time parents often begin their search in this category. While that forward-thinking approach makes sense, we always encourage parents to prioritize their immediate needs—which may not always align perfectly with future plans. The majority of convertible strollers feature a tandem in-line setup, requiring a longer frame to accommodate a second seat. That longer footprint often means you’re pushing around more stroller than you actually need when you’re caring for just one child. That trade-off may or may not feel worth it later with baby number two, but it can mean sacrificing maneuverability and adding unnecessary bulk as you first venture into parenthood. The Donkey 6, however, doesn’t require that sacrifice. In Mono mode, its convertible design becomes an advantage rather than a drawback. The built-in adapters that will eventually hold a second seat are put to excellent use in Mono mode by supporting the included side luggage bag. This side-of-seat storage is a parent favorite, allowing up to 22 pounds of essentials to sit directly beside your little passenger for easy access—no bending down to reach an undercarriage basket. The newly redesigned side luggage bag detaches quickly from the integrated adapters and transforms into a shoulder tote, doubling as your everyday diaper bag. That means with your stroller purchase, you can check one major must-have off your list. Thoughtful, practical, and incredibly functional, the Donkey 6 makes a compelling case as a premium single stroller. Bugaboo Donkey 6 vs. Bugaboo Fox 5 vs. Nuna MIXX Next Recommend Use: Bugaboo Donkey 6: birth to 50 lbs Bugaboo Fox 5: birth to 50 lbs Nuna MIXX Next: birth to 50 lbs Open Dimensions: Bugaboo Donkey 6: L 34.2 x W 23.6 x H 43.7 in Bugaboo Fox 5: L 36.6 x W 23.6 x H 41.3 in Nuna MIXX Next: L 32.7 x W 23.6 x H 45.3 in Folded Dimensions: Bugaboo Donkey 6: L 22 x W 24.2 x H 35.4 in Bugaboo Fox 5: L 17.3 x W 23.6 x H 35.4 in Nuna MIXX Next: L 27.5 x W 23.6 x H 19 in Weight: Bugaboo Donkey 6: 33.7 lbs Bugaboo Fox 5: 21.12 lbs Nuna MIXX Next: 28.3 lbs Storage Basket Capacity: Bugaboo Donkey 6: 33 lbs under carriage, 22 lbs in side-luggage bag Bugaboo Fox 5: 22 lbs Nuna MIXX Next: 10 lbs What's Included: Bugaboo Donkey 6: stroller, chassis with wheels, seat/bassinet frame, seat fabric, canopy, bassinet kit, side luggage bag Bugaboo Fox 5: stroller chassis, stroller seat, bassinet, car seat adapters Nuna MIXX Next: stroller, bumper bar, PIPA ring adapter Bugaboo Donkey 6 vs. Bugaboo Fox 5 The Bugaboo Fox 5 Renew showcases the same exceptional quality and performance families expect from Bugaboo. It features large all-terrain wheels, advanced suspension, premium styling, travel system capability, and sand and stair mode. Like the Donkey 6, the Fox 5 includes a bassinet for superior newborn comfort, and its reversible stroller seat supports children up to 50 pounds. The key differentiating factors between the two models are weight and convertibility. The Fox 5 is significantly lighter—over 10 pounds lighter—coming in at just over 21 pounds. That’s remarkably impressive considering its all-terrain capabilities. The Fox 5 also features a height-adjustable seat, offering generous room for growth as your child gets taller. If lightweight portability is a top priority in an all-terrain capable stroller, the Fox 5 is an excellent choice. However, for families seeking a future-proof model that can eventually accommodate two passengers—or a true workhorse capable of handling maximum cargo in its generous storage spaces—the Donkey 6 is the clear winner. Surprisingly, in its Mono mode, the Donkey 6 actually has a smaller footprint compared to the Fox 5. We especially love the Donkey 6 for city families looking for a primary mode of everyday transportation, while the Fox 5 may be better suited for suburban families frequently moving from car to curb who prioritize lighter lifting. Why We Love the Bugaboo Fox 5 Nimble maneuverability Lightweight frame Included overnight sleep approved bassinet Included infant car seat adapters Room to grow stroller seat All-terrain capable All wheel suspension One-handed fold Stair mode Compatible ride-on-board Choose the Bugaboo Fox 5 over the Bugaboo Donkey 6 if: You're seeking the lightest all terrain option You value included infant car seat adapters Choose the Bugaboo Donkey 6 over the Bugaboo Fox 5 if: You value extra storage space You're planning for two under two Bugaboo Donkey 6 vs. Nuna MIXX Next Nuna is one of the most well-known names in baby gear, largely due to its wildly popular PIPA Series infant car seat lineup. The Nuna MIXX Next comes equipped with a ring adapter included, making it travel system ready straight out of the box. Similar to the Bugaboo Donkey 6, the MIXX Next features large, all-terrain capable wheels, all-wheel suspension, and a reversible stroller seat rated up to 50 pounds. However, there are several important differences that make choosing between the two models a more straightforward decision. The MIXX Next does not include a bassinet. Instead, its stroller seat offers a fully flat, newborn-ready recline with the ability to convert into a carriage mode that mimics a bassinet. While this is a convenient feature, it is structurally different from a dedicated bassinet design. The MIXX Next is slightly lighter in weight and offers a noticeably smaller footprint and folded size—making it appealing for families concerned about trunk space or storage. That said, its storage basket weight capacity is significantly more limited at 10 pounds. For families who pack heavy for park days, farmers markets, or full-day outings, this can be a meaningful consideration. The Nuna MIXX Next is ideal for suburban families seeking an everyday stroller for neighborhood walks and seamless travel system use. It also works well for city families who combine walking with public transportation and need a more compact folded profile. It is definitively the better choice for families with smaller trunks or those who prefer a more minimalist gear setup focused on essentials. The Bugaboo Donkey 6, however, continues to stand out for its future-proof design, unmatched storage space, and exceptional performance across varied terrain. For families who want one stroller that truly does it all—today and tomorrow—the Donkey 6 remains in a league of its own. Why We Love the Nuna MIXX Next GREENGUARD Gold Certified Full recline, newborn approved with carriage mode Included ring adapter for Nuna PIPA infant car seats Large all terrain wheels Compact fold - compared to other full-size strollers Magnetic harness All season seat Choose the Nuna MIXX Next over the Bugaboo Donkey 6 if: You're seeking simplicity You don't need a bassinet You value an included infant car seat adapter You're seeking lighter weight portability You prefer a GREENGUARD Gold Certified stroller Choose the Bugaboo Donkey 6 over the Nuna MIXX Next if: You're planning for two under two You value extra storage space You're seeking the best in performance You want an option for a ride-on-board You prefer an included bassinet You prefer flexible infant car seat compatibility Is the Bugaboo Donkey 6 the Best Convertible, Single to Double Stroller? Comparing Convertible, Single to Double Strollers A single-to-double stroller is one of the smartest investments you can make when preparing for your first baby while thoughtfully planning for the future. Choosing a convertible stroller from the start means you won’t have to absorb the full cost of an entirely new double stroller later on. When the time comes to accommodate two children, only the necessary conversion pieces are required—allowing your original investment to continue working for you for the long haul. While the upfront cost of a premium convertible stroller may feel higher than opting for a single stroller initially, the long-term savings can be significant. Instead of replacing your stroller entirely, you simply expand on what you already own. For growing families who value performance, longevity, and thoughtful design, that kind of future-proofing matters.

Like the Donkey 6, the Kangaroo comes boxed as a single stroller and is newborn-ready using its bassinet. Its reversible stroller seat supports children up to 50 pounds, and its undercarriage basket offers generous storage space with a 28-pound weight capacity. Both models clearly reflect Bugaboo’s commitment to premium quality, performance, and comfort. Where they differ most dramatically is in their double stroller configuration. The Donkey 6 expands horizontally to create a side-by-side double stroller. The Kangaroo, on the other hand, converts to a tandem in-line stroller with the separate purchase of a sibling seat that attaches to the front of the stroller frame. In single mode, the Donkey 6 actually has a smaller overall footprint compared to the Kangaroo, though it weighs approximately five pounds more. The Kangaroo offers several notable advantages, including a narrower double configuration that can make navigating crowded sidewalks, elevators, and boutique shops feel a bit easier. It also includes an infant car seat adapter, features an elevated seat height for easier parent-child interaction, and offers a convenient one-handed fold. If you’ve already decided on Bugaboo for its top-tier quality and performance, both of these strollers absolutely deliver. Ultimately, the decision comes down to your preferred double stroller configuration: side-by-side or tandem in-line. While a tandem build may feel more intuitive in tight spaces, the Donkey’s shorter stroller frame and more balanced weight distribution lend themselves to easier overall maneuverability. The side-by-side design also provides equal weight capacities on both seats. With the Kangaroo, the main seat holds a higher weight limit, while the added sibling seat caps at 40 pounds. Over time, this can create an awkward dynamic if your older child is limited to the higher-capacity top seat while your younger child must ride in the smaller front seat. If ease of fold and a narrower profile are your top priorities, the Kangaroo may edge ahead. However, for long-term use, balanced seating, superior storage space, and standout performance, the Donkey 6 continues to shine. Why We Love the Bugaboo Kangaroo Included bassinet Elevated bassinet/seat option Tall toddler seat with plenty of room for growth Infant car seat adapter included Large wheels with optimal suspension One handed fold Spacious, high capacity under carriage basket Compatible ride-on-board 20+ achievable configurations Choose the Bugaboo Kangaroo over the Bugaboo Donkey 6 if: You value an included infant car seat adapter You prefer an inline tandem You're seeking a lighter weight convertible stroller Choose the Bugaboo Donkey 6 over the Bugaboo Kangaroo if: You're seeking the best in performance You prefer a side-by-side configuration You value additional storage space Bugaboo Donkey 6 vs. UPPAbaby Vista V3 The UPPAbaby Vista V3 is one of the most popular strollers nationwide, and for good reason. It offers long-term functionality for expanding families seeking a ready-to-grow option for two under two. It features an extra-large storage basket with a 30-pound weight capacity—which was the highest in the category until the redesign of the Donkey 6—and a highly user-friendly design. The Vista V3 comes boxed as a single stroller but includes only its main stroller seat, which is suitable from three months up to 50 pounds. This means that out of the box, the Vista V3 is not newborn-ready. It does offer direct compatibility with UPPAbaby infant car seats, providing an adapter-free travel system connection—a significant advantage for parents seeking simplicity and brand continuity. For optimal newborn comfort from day one, however, the Vista V3 requires the additional purchase of either a bassinet or an infant insert. The Vista V3 converts to a tandem in-line double stroller with the purchase of a Vista RumbleSeat. The RumbleSeat includes its adapters and attaches to the front of the stroller frame. Upper adapters are sold separately and can be used to create additional space between the seats when in double mode. In single configuration, the Donkey 6 maintains a smaller footprint. When converted to a double, the Donkey does become wider than the Vista, but it still maintains a shorter overall length. The Vista is lighter in weight and offers strong value as a premium single stroller, with components sold à la carte so parents can purchase only what they need. The Donkey 6 includes more components in the base package, and that inclusion is reflected in its price point. While the Vista V3 may feel less imposing in double mode due to its narrower build, the Donkey 6 features fewer moving parts and does not require adapters for conversion between single and double configurations, which can make it feel more streamlined in everyday use. The Vista V3 offers a wide variety of achievable configurations, giving families flexibility as they grow. The Donkey 6, however, provides better parent-to-child interaction with both children seated side by side. It also offers easier handling due to balanced weight distribution and equal weight capacity on both seats, whereas the Vista RumbleSeat caps at 40 pounds. Both strollers deliver impressive handling and a cushioned push—arguably among the best in the convertible stroller category. In the end, this decision will likely come down to personal preference: tandem in-line versus side-by-side seating, the value of an adapterless infant car seat connection versus the cost of purchasing an infant car seat adapter, and how you envision navigating daily life with one—or eventually two—little passengers. Why We Love the UPPAbaby Vista V3 GREENGUARD Gold Certified Reliable Performance Adapter-less connection with UPPAbaby Infant Car Seats All-weather seat Large storage basket with high 30 lb weight capacity Lots of available add-on accessories Compatible ride-on-board Choose the UPPAbaby Vista V3 over the Bugaboo Donkey 6 if: You're seeking a GREENGUARD Gold Certified stroller You prefer an in-line tandem You're seeking a lightweight convertible option You prefer an adapter less infant car seat connection Choose the Bugaboo Donkey 6 over the UPPAbaby Vista V3 if: You're prioritizing maneuverability You prefer a side-by-side configuration You're seeking maximum storage capacity You prefer equal weight limit seats Is the Bugaboo Donkey 6 the Best Double Stroller? Comparing Side-by-Side Double Strollers If your first stroller wasn’t built to transition into double duty, chances are you’ll eventually find yourself back on the market searching for a true double stroller. Even if you didn’t opt for the Donkey in single mode, it remains an exceptional choice for parents ready to accommodate two riders comfortably and confidently. Most parents gravitate toward a side-by-side double stroller when toting two children, valuing easy access to both kids and smoother, more balanced handling. The Bugaboo Donkey 6 stands out as the only side-by-side double stroller with reversible seats, offering meaningful face-to-face bonding moments with both children—something incredibly rare in the double stroller category.

Both strollers can be used from birth up to 50 pounds per seat, feature premium detailing, and offer travel system capabilities. However, they serve very different purposes, making the choice between them—or the argument for both—fairly straightforward. The Nuna TRVL dubl weighs in at a lightweight 25 pounds and features a one-step, one-hand automatic fold that truly operates with the touch of a button. Its independently reclining seats lie fully flat, making them suitable for newborns. It boasts all-wheel suspension and delivers a cushioned ride over a variety of terrain. The TRVL dubl also offers direct compatibility with Nuna PIPA infant car seats—no adapter required—and its generous storage basket supports up to 22 pounds. The TRVL dubl is exceptionally well suited for everyday, on-the-go use: in and out of the car, neighborhood strolls, errands, and travel. It clearly stands out for streamlined ease of use and portability. The Donkey 6, however, has advantages that are difficult to overlook. Its larger wheels make it the better option for families frequently navigating rougher terrain or logging serious miles behind the handlebar. Its modular design with reversible seats allows for parent-facing configurations, while the TRVL dubl seats are exclusively world-facing. The Donkey’s included bassinet is another valuable perk—especially when baby falls asleep mid-stroll, allowing for easier transitions indoors without disrupting nap time. Choosing between the two ultimately comes down to portability and convenience versus long-haul performance and versatility. With an unlimited budget, many families would happily keep the TRVL dubl in the car for effortless daily transitions and travel, while relying on the Donkey 6 as their trusted workhorse for full-day outings and more demanding adventures. Why We Love the Nuna TRVL dubl One step, one-hand, automatic fold Newborn friendly recline with carriage mode Direct compatibility with Nuna PIPA Series Infant Car Seats (no adapter needed) Magnetic harness All-wheel suspension Extra-large storage basket with 22 lbs capacity Included rain cover GREENGUARD Certified Choose the Nuna TRVL dubl over the Bugaboo Donkey 6 if: You're seeking a GREENGUARD Gold Certified stroller You prefer an adapter-less infant car seat connection You're prioritizing ease of use You prefer to lightweight portability Choose the Bugaboo Donkey 6 over the Nuna TRVL dubl if: You prefer flexible infant car seat compatibility You want an option for a ride on board You're seeking an all-terrain option You're prioritizing storage capacity You prefer a modular stroller Bugaboo Donkey 6 vs. Thule Urban Glide Double The Thule Urban Glide 3 Double offers the most direct competition in the performance category. This side-by-side jogging stroller features the largest wheels in the group, which are air-filled for an exceptionally cushioned ride. It is an outstanding choice for outdoor-loving families, runners, hikers, and beachgoers who prioritize top-tier performance across rugged terrain. With its large wheels and athletic design, the Thule Urban Glide 3 Double does have a sizable footprint, yet it still manages to come in lighter than the Bugaboo Donkey 6 in overall double-stroller weight. It also offers infant car seat compatibility. While its seats are not newborn-ready out of the box, a bassinet can be added to create a newborn-friendly double stroller setup. Even when factoring in the additional bassinet purchase, the Urban Glide 3 Double comes in at a significantly lower price point than the Donkey 6. The Donkey 6 justifies its premium price through its capabilities and modular convertible design. Not only does it offer versatile seating arrangements, but it also allows the stroller to slim down to a single-stroller configuration when needed. As any parent of two knows, there are days when you head out with only one child—perhaps your older child is at daycare and you’re running errands with your infant. The Donkey allows you to adjust your setup based on your needs in the moment. Its modular design also proves invaluable when playing trunk “Tetris.” The stroller frame can be narrowed, and the seats removed, making it easier to fit into tighter trunk spaces or store neatly at home. The Thule Urban Glide 3 Double, by contrast, features taller seats with more vertical room for growth. For families with a larger age gap or taller toddlers and preschoolers, this may be an appealing advantage. Active, performance-focused families will likely gravitate toward the Thule Urban Glide 3 Double. Meanwhile, stroller enthusiasts who appreciate modular flexibility, reversible seating, and all the thoughtful bells and whistles will naturally be drawn to the Bugaboo Donkey 6. Both are exceptional in their own right—the decision simply comes down to how and where you plan to roll. Why We Love the Thule Urban Glide Double All terrain jogging stroller Air-filled wheels Twist hand brake Tall seats with lots of room for upward growth Bassinet compatible (sold separately) Covered storage basket with zip-top Magnetic buckle harness Choose the Thule Urban Glide Double over the Bugaboo Donkey 6 if: You plan to run with your stroller You're seeking a stroller for siblings 6 months+ You have a tall toddler You're prioritizing use for rugged terrain Choose the Bugaboo Donkey 6 over the Thule Urban Glide Double if: You prefer a modular stroller You value reversible seats Easy travel system use is a priority You value extra storage space Is the Bugaboo Donkey 6 the Best Stroller for Twins? Comparing Twin Strollers If you’re expecting twins, the Bugaboo Donkey 6 deserves to be at the very top of your list. In fact, for many twin families, it quickly becomes the twin stroller. One of the most important features to prioritize in a twin stroller for use from birth is the ability to hold two infant car seats simultaneously. This capability is often limited to tandem in-line strollers, but the Donkey’s side-by-side design allows it to hold two infant car seats next to each other—providing optimal positioning for travel system use while keeping both babies equally visible and accessible. The Donkey 6 can also accommodate two bassinets side by side, ensuring both newborns remain within arm’s reach and in your immediate line of sight. Once the bassinets are outgrown, your twins can transition comfortably into the Donkey’s reversible stroller seats, riding side by side either parent-facing or world-facing up to 50 pounds per seat. For twin parents who value symmetry, accessibility, and balanced seating from day one through toddlerhood, the Donkey 6 checks every box.

Like the Donkey 6, it features a side-by-side setup and allows two bassinets or two infant car seats to be attached next to each other. While bassinets are available for the Indie Twin, they are not essential. Its seats are newborn-ready, fully reclining, and can be adjusted to create a carriage-style, faux bassinet environment. Its large air-filled wheels are built for performance, effortlessly gliding through sand, snow, gravel paths, grassy parks, and hiking trails. For outdoor-loving families, it delivers impressive capability at a strong value. The Donkey 6 also offers excellent performance, though its foam-filled wheels eliminate the risk of flats. While air-filled tires naturally have a slight edge in ultimate terrain absorption, they do require ongoing maintenance for proper air pressure. For families who prefer lower maintenance without sacrificing ride quality, foam-filled wheels are a welcome feature. The Indie Twin is lighter in weight, but its cargo capacity is limited, maxing out at 15 pounds. The Donkey 6, by comparison, offers significantly more storage space. It also has a smaller overall footprint, though its fold is larger in one piece. That said, the Donkey can be broken down into multiple pieces for easier storage and trunk loading, and it carries the added advantage of slimming down into a single stroller configuration when one-on-one bonding time calls. For travel system use, both strollers can hold infant car seats side by side. However, the Donkey’s adapter integrates seamlessly into the frame without the seats attached, minimizing weight and bulk when configured for car seat use. The Indie Twin can achieve a similar setup, but it requires removing the entire seat fabric unless you plan to use bassinets consistently from birth to six months. For families frequently alternating between car seats and stroller seats, the Donkey offers a more streamlined experience. Joggers and outdoor enthusiasts seeking maximum performance for the price will find tremendous value in the Indie Twin. Parents looking for a modular design with reversible seating, generous storage, and long-term flexibility will likely gravitate toward the Donkey 6.

It is also a single-to-double convertible stroller, transitioning into an in-line tandem double with the purchase of a sibling seat. It comes boxed as a single stroller with one stroller seat suitable from three months to 50 pounds and one set of infant car seat adapters included. For twins, a second set of car seat adapters and a second seat must be purchased separately, along with newborn-friendly cots if desired. The Gazelle S can hold two infant car seats, two cots, or two stroller seats, offering more than 20 achievable configurations. It stands out for its compact fold, integrated adapters, and 30-pound storage basket capacity. Its large wheels provide a smooth ride across varied terrain, and its intuitive design makes everyday use simple. In twin configuration, the Gazelle S offers a narrower footprint and lighter overall weight compared to the Donkey 6. However, its in-line design means one baby will always be positioned farther from you and outside your immediate line of sight. For twin parents who prioritize keeping both babies equally close and visible, the Donkey’s side-by-side setup often feels more reassuring and practical. There is, however, one important consideration: doorway width. With two bassinets or two stroller seats attached, the Donkey 6 fits through standard doorways. But when using the twin infant car seat adapter with two infant car seats attached, the configuration slightly exceeds standard doorway width. For some families navigating tight interior spaces frequently, this could prove frustrating and may make the narrower Gazelle S a more appealing choice. Why We Love the Cybex Gazelle S 20+ achievable configurations One set of infant car seat adapters included Accommodates two cots (sold separately) Reliable push with advanced front and rear suspension One-pull harness 50 lbs weight capacity on each seat (sibling seat sold separately) Choose the Cybex Gazelle S over the Bugaboo Donkey 6 if: You prefer an inline tandem You're worried about fitting through a standard doorway with two infant car seats You value included accessories You don't need bassinets Choose the Bugaboo Donkey 6 over the Cybex Gazelle S if: You prefer a side-by-side stroller You want sleep-rated bassinets You value extra storage space You're seeking the best performance Easy handling is a top priority Bugaboo Donkey 6 vs. Nuna DEMI Next The Nuna DEMI Next presents another unique twin-ready option. It is also a convertible stroller and comes boxed as a single, with its sibling seat and bassinet sold separately. Notably, it includes two sets of infant car seat adapters in the box, making it ready for twin travel system use straight out of the package. The DEMI Next can accommodate two infant car seats, two stroller seats, or two bassinets (sold separately). Unlike traditional side-by-side or tandem configurations, it features a stacked setup. Its integrated adapters sit beneath the top connection points, positioned directly above the undercarriage basket. This configuration offers distinct advantages. It maintains nimble maneuverability and balanced weight distribution without feeling excessively wide. It keeps both babies close, within arm’s reach and in your line of sight, and it easily fits through standard doorways. However, the adapter placement comes with a trade-off. Because the lower seat or bassinet sits directly above the storage basket, adding a second seat in that position significantly limits access to storage. With an infant car seat installed in the lower position, some basket space remains accessible. But when two stroller seats are attached, the basket becomes largely unusable. For families who prioritize compact maneuverability and doorway clearance, the DEMI Next is compelling. For those who value generous storage, equal side-by-side seating, modular flexibility, and long-term versatility, the Donkey 6 continues to stand out as one of the most thoughtfully engineered twin strollers available.

Every Configuration of the Bugaboo Donkey Explained (Mono, Duo & Twin)
One of the biggest reasons parents love the Bugaboo Donkey is its flexibility. It’s not just a single stroller or a double. It's designed to grow with your family, converting between three different setups: Mono Mode (single), Duo Mode (siblings), or Twin (twins). In a world where baby gear seems to age out faster than your favorite newborn jammies, that kind of future-proofing really matters. If you’ve ever caught yourself Googling what those modes actually mean—what fits in each setup, how wide the stroller gets, or what you need to buy to convert it—you’re definitely not alone. Our guide walks through every Donkey configuration, what setup each mode supports, and how the stroller adapts as your family grows. How the Bugaboo Donkey Converts (Quick Overview) Before you hit play: this demo features a previous Bugaboo Donkey model. The good news? The way the stroller converts between Mono, Duo, and Twin modes works the same on the new Donkey 6. So you can watch with confidence knowing the process you see here still applies. The Donkey’s design is built around a smart, expandable frame that widens side-to-side when you’re ready to add a second rider. In single mode, the stroller stays narrower and uses that bonus space for a roomy side luggage basket (parenting involves so much stuff). When it’s time to grow, the frame slides open sideways to create room for a second seat or bassinet—no new stroller required. You’re not replacing your stroller, you’re changing what it can do. The same chassis adapts as your family grows, which means fewer big gear swaps and a setup that matches your lifestyle. In simple terms: Mono Mode: Single stroller with extra side storage Duo Mode: Side-by-side for siblings of different ages Twin Mode: Side-by-side for twins Does the Bugaboo Donkey 6 Expand the Same Way as Previous Models? Yes! The Bugaboo Donkey 6 expands and converts exactly the same way previous Donkey models did. What’s changed is the naming, not the functionality. The expandable side-by-side frame, conversion process, and compatibility with bassinets, seats, and car seats all work the same as before. If you’re familiar with earlier Donkey models, you can think of the Donkey 6 as an upgrade in materials and design—not a reinvention of how the stroller grows. Want the full scoop on what’s new?Read our complete Bugaboo Donkey 6 review for a closer look at updates, features, and real-world differences. Bugaboo Donkey Mono Mode Mono mode is the Donkey’s single-child configuration. The Donkey single stroller (formerly Mono Complete) includes one multi-use seat frame, meaning the same frame supports both bassinet and toddler seat fabrics—you simply swap the fabric as your baby grows. In single mode, the stroller stays in its narrower width and includes a side luggage basket in place of a second seat. When you’re ready to expand to a double stroller, the same frame can be converted by adding the appropriate expansion components. What Fits in Single Setup The bassinet + side luggage basket for newborns The toddler seat + side luggage basket for babies 6 months and up A compatible infant car seat with Maxi-Cosi or Chicco Adapters + side luggage basket Popular Add-Ons for Single Setup Bugaboo Donkey Maxi-Cosi or Chicco Car Seat AdaptersUseful if you want to use the stroller as a travel system for quick errands or transfers from the car. Bugaboo Organizer or Cup HolderKeeps essentials like phone, keys, and drinks within easy reach while the side basket handles larger items. Bugaboo Comfort Transport BagProtects your stroller during air travel or long-distance transport, helping prevent scuffs, dirt, and damage. A smart add-on if you plan to fly or frequently pack the stroller in a car trunk or cargo area. Bugaboo Donkey Duo Mode Double setup (Duo or Sibling Mode) is the Donkey’s side-by-side configuration for two kids (usually siblings of different ages). To create a double configuration, you’ll need: The Bugaboo Donkey (includes one multi-use seat frame). The Bugaboo Donkey Sibling Seat (adds the second seating position and additional frame). The Donkey Sibling Seat (formerly the Duo Extension) allows you to configure the stroller with either a bassinet and toddler seat or two toddler seats, depending on your kiddo’s ages and stages. The frame expands sideways to create space for the second seating position, so both children ride next to each other rather than front-to-back. This configuration keeps both riders at the same height and within easy reach, which many families find more convenient for sibling interaction and supervision. Both seats have identical weight limits, can face parent or world, and recline independently. So if your toddler suddenly has a lot of opinions, the Donkey gives you flexibility as their preferences change. What Fits in Double Mode Typical Double setups include: Bassinet + seat for a newborn and toddler Seat + seat for two older children Infant car seat + seat with compatible adapters Popular Add-Ons for Double Mode Bugaboo Snack TrayAvoid meltdowns and keep snacks and drinks within easy reach for toddlers and preschoolers. Bugaboo Thermolite Performance FootmuffAdds cozy warmth for chilly and brisk mornings, keeping little riders comfy without the need for heavy jackets in the stroller. A great pick if you spend time outside year-round or live in colder regions. Bugaboo Dual Comfort Seat LinerCreates an extra layer of breathable comfort and helps protect the stroller seat from everyday messes, making cleanup easier after snacks, spills, or warm-weather outings. Bugaboo Donkey Twin Mode (Twin Configuration) Twin mode is designed for families with twins who want two children riding side by side from the very beginning. Most families use this setup with two bassinets for newborn twins or with two infant car seats using the appropriate twin adapters, depending on what works best for their day-to-day routine. The Donkey stroller includes one multi-use seat frame that can be used as either a bassinet or a toddler seat—just swap the fabric as your little ones grow. To create a Twin configuration, you’ll need: The Bugaboo Donkey (includes one multi-use seat frame). The Donkey Sibling Seat (adds the second seating position and an additional frame). The Twin Bassinet fabric set (used with the second frame from the Sibling Seat and canopy to create the second bassinet) Once assembled, the stroller expands sideways to attach two identical bassinets positioned next to each other. It's a balanced layout that makes for easy pushing and maneuvering, and keeps both babies visible and within reach. Families who prefer quick transfers or plan to skip the bassinet stage can also use two compatible infant car seats with twin adapters instead. As your babies grow, the same setup can later transition to two toddler seats using the appropriate seat fabrics. What Fits in Twin Mode Typical Twin setups include: Bassinet + bassinet for newborn twins Infant car seat + infant car seat using compatible twin adapters Seat + seat as twins grow into toddlerhood Accessories That Pair Well With Twin Bassinet Mode Bugaboo Twin Maxi-Cosi or Chicco Car Seat Adapters Allows you to attach two compatible infant car seats side by side—a super helpful option for families skipping the bassinet stage or prioritizing quick transfers. Bugaboo Comfort Wheeled BoardA helpful add-on for families with an older sibling in the mix. The Comfort Wheeled Board clicks onto the Donkey and gives big kids the option to ride along standing or seated, while the offset positioning helps preserve valuable walking space for parents navigating a fully loaded stroller. Bugaboo Donkey Infant Car Seat Compatibility and Adapters The Bugaboo Donkey works with many infant car seat brands across Single, Double, and Twin setups using the right adapters. That makes it easy to create a flexible travel system for quick errands, daycare drop-offs, or those moments when you’d really rather not wake a peacefully sleeping baby. With Maxi-Cosi Mono or Twin Adapters: Nuna PIPA series Cybex Aton and Cloud series Maxi-Cosi Mico and Peri series Clek infant car seats With Chicco Mono or Twin Adapters: Chicco Fit and KeyFit series If infant car seats are part of your plan (especially two at the same time), it’s a good idea to confirm compatibility and adapter requirements ahead of time, since fit can vary by model and year. Living with the Bugaboo Donkey Day to Day The Bugaboo Donkey is designed for flexibility and longevity, which means it naturally takes up more space than ultra-compact strollers. In all modes, it fits through standard doorways and has plenty of storage. Keep in mind that when expanded into Double or Twin configurations, the stroller becomes wider, so tighter entryways, elevators, or frequently used indoor spaces may be trickier to maneuver. When it comes to transport, the Donkey isn’t a grab-and-go travel stroller. It has a larger folded footprint and may require some trunk planning, especially in smaller vehicles. Many families find it fits more comfortably in SUVs, wagons, or larger trunks, and occasional component removal can help with packing. On the move, the Donkey is known for balanced steering and an A+ smooth push, even when fully loaded. The side-by-side layout distributes weight evenly, which helps maintain stability and control on sidewalks, neighborhood walks, and park paths. Frequently Asked Questions Can the Bugaboo Donkey fit through standard doorways? In Single (Mono) mode, the Bugaboo Donkey fits through most standard residential doorways. When configured as a Double (Duo) or Twin, the stroller becomes wider, which can make tight indoor spaces more challenging. If you frequently navigate narrow hallways, older buildings, or elevators, it’s a good idea to measure those spaces ahead of time to avoid surprises. What’s the difference between Double and Twin configurations? Double mode is designed for siblings of different ages, typically using a bassinet and seat or two seats. Twin mode is designed for two children of the same stage, such as two bassinets for newborn twins or two seats for older twins. Both configurations use the expandable frame, but the required accessories and setup differ based on how many seating positions you’re adding. Can you convert the Bugaboo Donkey later as your family grows? Yes. One of the Donkey’s biggest strengths is its ability to evolve over time. Families often start in Single mode, then expand into Double or Twin configurations as their needs change. Additional kits and fabrics allow you to adjust the setup without replacing the entire stroller. And you can always convert back to a single if you expand your family and have older siblings that are beyond the stroller stage. Can you use infant car seats with the Bugaboo Donkey? Yes. With the appropriate adapters, many popular infant car seats can be used across configurations. Compatibility varies by brand and model, so it’s important to confirm fit and adapter requirements before purchasing—especially if you plan to use two car seats at the same time. Is the Bugaboo Donkey hard to push when fully loaded? Despite its size, the Donkey is known for balanced weight distribution and smooth steering, even when carrying two children. The side-by-side design helps maintain stability and control, making it comfortable for everyday walks, sidewalks, and park paths. How much storage does the Bugaboo Donkey offer? Storage capacity changes depending on configuration. In Mono mode, the stroller includes a large side luggage basket in addition to the under-seat basket. When expanded into Double or Twin modes, that side basket becomes a second seating position, so many families rely more on organizers and handlebar accessories for everyday essentials. How long can you realistically use the Bugaboo Donkey? The Donkey is designed to support families from newborn through toddler years and beyond. With the ability to transition between bassinets, seats, and multiple child configurations, many families use the stroller for several years as their children grow and needs evolve.
