Donkey 6 Double or Donkey 6 Duo: what's the difference?
None, it's the same stroller. On the Donkey 5 the sibling version was still called “Duo”. With the Donkey 6, Bugaboo renamed it “Double”.
What makes the Bugaboo Donkey 6 Double special
The Donkey is Bugaboo's stroller that grows as your family grows. On the Bugaboo Donkey 6 Double both children sit side by side: the baby lies in the all-season bassinet with a PureBreeze™ mattress, the older sibling sits in the seat next to them. Both seats can be reversed and reclined, so you can position each child facing you or facing the world.
Compared with its predecessor, the main gain is storage: the underseat basket is 50% larger, plus there is a side bag. The extra-large, all-terrain wheels are made for the city, the park and forest paths. For car journeys, you click an infant car seat onto the frame with the Bugaboo Donkey car seat adapter.
Configurations: how your children ride along
| Configuration | For whom | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Bassinet + seat | newborn and toddler | typical sibling situation |
| 2 seats | two toddlers | both seats reversible and reclinable |
| Infant car seat + seat | baby in the car and in the stroller | with the car seat adapter |
| + ride-on board | up to 3 children | over 20 configurations according to Bugaboo |
| Single | one child | back to a single stroller in 3 clicks |
Bugaboo Donkey 5 vs. Donkey 6: what's new?
The Donkey 6 has replaced the Donkey 5. Bugaboo itself says: “The Bugaboo Donkey 5 is history.” The basic principle has stayed the same. The main improvements are storage, ventilation and materials:
| Feature | Donkey 5 | Donkey 6 |
|---|---|---|
| Status | discontinued by Bugaboo | current model |
| Sibling version is called | Duo | Double |
| Basket | standard size | 50% larger |
| Bassinet | PureBreeze™ mattress | all-season bassinet with ventilation inserts twice as large, organic cotton lining |
| Conversion | Mono to Duo with extension set | Single to Double in 3 clicks with sibling seat |
| Materials | bio-based and recycled content | 100% recycled polyester, 60% recycled aluminium |
| CO₂ footprint | – | 17% lower than its predecessor |
| Use | from birth to 4 years | from birth to 4 years |
Our verdict: if you shop a lot or use the stroller in summer, you'll benefit from the Donkey 6's larger basket and better ventilation. If you prefer the proven predecessor, you'll still find the Bugaboo Donkey 5 Duo at StrollMe.
Donkey 6 Double, Twin or Mono?
| Version | For whom | Equipment |
|---|---|---|
| Donkey 6 Double (Duo) | siblings of different ages | bassinet and two seats |
| Donkey 6 Twin | twins | two bassinets from day one |
| Donkey 6 Mono | one child | can later be extended to a Double with a sibling seat |
Side by side or one behind the other?
Sibling strollers come in two designs. The Donkey seats children side by side, other models place them one behind the other (tandem).
| Feature | Side by side (Donkey) | One behind the other (tandem) |
|---|---|---|
| View | both children have a clear view | the child at the back sees less |
| Closeness | siblings see and entertain each other | children sit apart |
| Width | wider than a single stroller | as narrow as a single stroller |
| Length | as short as a single stroller | much longer, harder to turn |
When is a sibling stroller worth it?
Age gap and walking distances are what matter. With a gap of one to two years, the older child usually still needs a seat regularly, which makes a sibling stroller ideal. From around three years, they often walk a lot on their own and only get tired on longer routes. Then a ride-on board may be enough. Because you rent the Donkey from StrollMe, you're not tied down for years: after the minimum term you switch to a single stroller once the older child only walks.
