Bugaboo donkey duo, worth it?

Hi, currently have a 12 month old and due his baby brother in a month so only 13months apart. Looking for opinions on the bugaboo donkey duo if it’s worth it or recommendations for other double prams. Worried the bugaboo being side by side won’t fit through doorways or will be an inconvenience on pavements.

We've got 15 months between ours. I was looking at the bugaboo donkey and it was my top one but a few people said it can be difficult with doors etc. But I love that it can shrink down to one. But in the end we went with an icandy orange double which us perfect. Loads of configurations which was important to me so I could have baby in the bassinet facing me. We got it second hand off marketplace for £300. I didnt like the colour so order new hoods etc off icandy so it now looks brand new! X

@Charly With this can you have the bassinet at the top and toddler seat underneath cause the pictures only show bassinet at back underneath toddler seat? X

I had bugaboo but ended up selling as never used as double. It fits thro most doors tbf and its narrow enough! I found it quite bulky to dismantle into the car 🤣xx

I loved my Bugaboo Donkey! Best pram I’ve had! When I was looking I didn’t like the look of I-Candy’s. I didn’t have issues with the Donkey being wide or fitting in places

Oh! Side by side wise the mountain buggy duett is meant to be very good and slim! I just didn’t as my son walks more than anything so the double for me is a back up for longer days out

I’ve got a 13 month age gap and opted to get the bugaboo donkey! So pleased I did it’s a breeze to push, can see both babies all the time. Bonus that it can still be used with just one baby. Never had an issue with getting around shops! Honestly I’d say go for it x

I have the bugaboo donkey and I love mine and I haven’t had any problems with doors out and about only door I can’t get through is my front door but that’s not a problem for me as just get them out and put it back in the car x

@Jayne do you know which donkey you have is it the new 5 or the older models? X

@Laura do you have the donkey 5 or older model? X

@Tilda Turnbull older one, but think they are the same size xx

@Tilda Turnbull I chose to get to donkey 3 because there literally wasn’t that much difference between the 3 and 5 except the price tag!

I’m also looking for best double prams and am considering the bugaboo donkey. I’ve also heard the mountain buggy duet is supposed to be really good and less bulky than the bugaboo.

@Liz kids kargo glider double. It came today! It’s brilliant it’s so lightweight and honestly such good quality plus my son loves his little low seat we practiced around the house 😂

I have a bugaboo donkey and love that I can use it as a single or a double. (Bonus that as a single I don’t need a changing bag because of the side bag that clips on). It’s super easy to push though and has lots of extras that are useful, like buggy board for when they’re older. Downsides are that I have found the odd shop door too narrow to get through without me asking them to open their secondary door. And it doesn’t fold very compact so it’s not the most convenient to take by car.
