Buying a Bugaboo Donkey Pushchair. 

When you buy a Bugaboo pushchair, your selection is broken down into individual components so you can have total choice on combinations of colour and design.  While having the choice is great, it can get a little confusing, so here are some simple steps to buying your Bugaboo Donkey...
Bugaboo Donky Mono at Borndirect

Buying a Donkey Mono

The Mono is perfect if you have one child.  It can also be extended to a double, so if you plan to grow your family, the Mono can adapt with you.


STEP ONE: Choose the finish for the Base Unit

The main component of the Mono, the Duo and the Twin is the Base Unit.  This is the basic structure of the pushchair to which components are added to turn it into a functioning pushchair. 

The Base unit for the Bugaboo Donkey consists of:
Bugaboo Donkey Chassis at Borndirect

The chassis with wheels - this comes in a choice of finish – black or aluminium.  This will affect the final price as the black finish is more expensive.




Bugaboo Donkey Carrycot/Seat Frame at Borndirect
The carrycot/seat frame – this is used as a carrycot frame for when your baby is young. The carrycot can be unclipped and used away from the pushchair.  As your child gets older, the frame cleverly converts to a stroller seat frame.
The frame will come in the same colour as you select for the chassis.

STEP TWO: Choose the colour for the Tailored Fabric Set

The Tailored Fabric Set is the fabric for the canopy and the carrycot apron.  This is where you can give your pushchair some colour and style! Sometimes Bugaboo bring out Special Edition colours or designs, although these can be more expensive so note the price when making your selection. You can buy a new Tailored Fabric Set on its own too, which is a great way of updating your pushchair and giving it a new look!

If you are buying a Mono, you have completed your selection! Add to the basket, but don’t forget to check out any accessories too!

Bugaboo Donkey Duo at Borndirect

Buying a Donkey Duo

A Donkey Duo is ideal if you have (or plan to have) a baby and an older brother or sister. It adapts easily from a double to a single buggy and back again and we love the fact both children can sit facing you no matter what their age.  

The Duo gives you 17 different seat combinations, as long as at least one of the seats is set up as a toddler seat.  (If you want two carrycots or two baby car seats side by side, you need to go for the Twin).


STEP ONE: Choose the finish for the Base Unit (As per buying a Mono - see above)

STEP TWO: Choose the colour for the Tailored Fabric Set (As per buying a Mono - see above)

STEP THREE: Select the colour for the Duo Extension Set

The Bugaboo Donkey Duo Extension is the 2nd seat frame unit, enabling you to easily convert your Mono into a Duo. It includes:Seat framd from Bugaboo Donkey at Borndirect
  • The seat frame
  • The seat fabric (black)
  • Stroller safety bar
  • Canopy frame
  • Rain cover
The seat frame comes in a choice of finishes to match the chassis.  Like the selection you made for the Base Unit, the black is more expensive.  We recommend you select the same colour for the extension set as you have for the base, so that they match!

STEP FOUR: Select the colour for the Sun Canopy

You have already selected a sun canopy for your 1st seat as part of the Tailored Fabric Set (you don’t need a 2nd Tailored Fabric Set as you don’t need 2 carrycot aprons with the Duo). So all you need to do is select the colour for the 2nd canopy.  Most people select the same colour to match the fabric set, but there is no reason why you can’t choose a different colour! Again, some special edition designs or colours are more expensive, so be aware of pricing.

If you are buying a Duo, you have completed your selection! Add to the basket, but don’t forget to check out any accessories too!
 Bugaboo Donkey Twin at Borndirect

Buying a Donkey Twin

The thing that makes a Twin different from the Duo is that it comes with the base, mattress, fabric, apron and canopy for a second carrycot. The base and fabric are black but you can select the colour for the apron and canopy.

A Donkey Twin is perfect if you have two young babies who are both in carrycots. It can be used from birth onwards and when your babies get bigger, the carrycots can be converted to seats - facing you, facing out or facing each other! It’s easy to push and as it's only 6" wider than a Donkey Mono formation, getting through doorways is no problem! If you want to just take one child out, the Donkey Twin converts to a Mono with just 3 clicks.

STEP ONE: Choose the finish for the Base Unit (As per buying a Mono - see above)

STEP TWO: Choose the colour for the Tailored Fabric Set (As per buying a Mono - see above)

STEP THREE : Choose Extension Set Colour

The Extension Set is the 2nd seat frame unit, enabling you to easily convert your Mono into a Twin. It is the same as the Duo, but also comes with the base and mattress for the carrycot.  The seat frame comes in a choice of finishes to match the chassis.  Like the selection you made for the Base Unit, the black is more expensive.  We recommend you select the same colour for the extension set as you have for the base, so that they match! In total, it includes:
  • The seat frame
  • The seat fabric (black)
  • Stroller safety bar
  • Canopy frame
  • Rain cover
  • Carrycot Base
  • Carrycot Mattress

STEP FOUR: Select the colour of your 2nd Tailored Fabric Set

This will give you the final component to complete your Donkey Twin – the fabric for the canopy and the carrycot apron for the 2nd carrycot.

If you are buying a Donkey Twin, you have completed your selection! Add to the basket, but don’t forget to check out any accessories too!
