Bugaboo Donkey Stroller – The One Fits All Alternative for Expanded Families

by Andy on March 14, 2012

A cool set of features is what usually makes a baby stroller stand out, and the Bugaboo Donkey Stroller seems to be the cream of the crop when it comes to impressing parents. If you only intend to have one kid, this particular stroller is not for you, since its extra functionalities, such as being able to metamorphosize from a mono stroller to a duo stroller and then back again, will only cost you extra cash that you can spend on other necessities when your newborn arrives. However, for parents with two or more kids, the Donkey can be a welcome addition, since it will allow riding two children in the stroller in the same time, without having to buy an extra one.

Is there a catch?

One issue that may concern parents is whether space or comfort is lost while transforming the Bugaboo Donkey Stroller from its mono configuration to its duo configuration. While it is worth mentioning that expanding the stroller will still maintain its narrow, sleek design, nothing is sacrificed, and two babies can be accommodated without a glitch. It goes from 24 inches in width to 29 inches in width from one configuration to another, which means that you can still fit the two-seater through a standard door. The single catch that there is to it is that its pricing is on the very expensive side, which means that you should ponder for a while before taking a decision.

How do I know if I need a ‘one fits all’ stroller?

In case you are just starting a family and you have no idea how many kids you and your spouse are going to have, but the Bugaboo Donkey Stroller already caught your eye, because of its sleek design and functionalities, there is one option: the single version that can be purchased by families with a single kid that allows the installation of the Duo Extension Kit, in case your family expands.

The options

The new Bugaboo stroller can be used in many ways, for kids of the same age, as well as for kids of different ages. You can use a stroller seat in combination with a basinet, or a stroller seat together with a car seat, or you can transform both seats into basinets, or you can have both seats facing one another; the truth is the combinations allowed by the Bugaboo Donkey Stroller are really what make this item enjoy such a great popularity among parents. It allows moms to be close to their kids, and help them develop language skills, while still accommodating plenty of space for groceries, diapers, bottles and so on.

 

 

Bugaboo Donkey Stroller – The Most Expensive Luxury Stroller Money Can Buy

by Andy on March 14, 2012

The Frog and the Bee now have a sibling, which is called the Donkey. If this all sounds like gibberish to you, it must mean that you have not heard yet about the luxury line of baby strollers invented by the Dutch company Bugaboo, addressed to parents with needs, but also with enough money in their pockets to spend on a deluxe stroller. The Bugaboo Donkey Stroller has already been praised for its functionality and sleek design, although the price may determine a lot of parents to shy away.

What makes it so special?

Aside from the pricing, which basically puts a new standard on how much money parents can spend on a single item for their babies, this stroller has a special quality: it can be used as a single baby stroller, reverted to a duo model, and then reverted again, according to your needs and your babies’ needs. Two birds with one stone seems to be the philosophy behind the Bugaboo Donkey Stroller, and parents that do not want to have the older kid placed in a separate stroller, while the newborn gets all the attention, now have an option; a very pricey option, but still one that guarantees a special experience while raising your kids.

How is the pricing justified?

Breaking the 1,500USD mark for baby strollers was clearly something not many had envisioned before the arrival of the Bugaboo Donkey Stroller. However, it seems that parents that do not hesitate to purchase such an expensive item are quite convinced that they are not throwing money off the window. The baby stroller is made of durable materials, and it is expected to have more than a decent lifespan, which makes it ideal for families that intend to have more children. Parents with teens can use the duo option and snap it back to its mono option, if they intend to have another kid. Last, but not least, the fact that this is a designer baby stroller increases its value. Luxury items, even if they are just baby strollers, are expected to cost a little fortune, and the Bugaboo Donkey Stroller is not an exception to the rule.

Who buys this baby stroller?

According to marketing specialists, this baby stroller enjoys plenty of success, and it already has a dedicated fan base. Because it is a luxury item, the Bugaboo Donkey Stroller is usually bought by parents that have plenty of disposable income at their fingertips. However, this does not mean that others do not jump the bandwagon and spend over 1,500USD on this expensive model. For them, this baby stroller is a premium item that is clearly worth the money.
