Our Take
The Donkey 6 asks a one-child household to buy for the family it expects. The single 2-in-1 box covers both newborn stages - all-season bassinet and toddler seat on the same chassis - with the bassinet rated from birth to 9 kg or about six months and the seat to 4 years and 22 kg. The side-by-side double, though, is a later purchase: the second position only exists once you add the separately sold sibling seat, so the conversion is a budgeted decision, not a hidden default.
Storage is a genuine differentiator: a 70 L basket rated to 15 kg plus a 10 kg side bag. The owner reviews - 4.7 out of 5 across 26 listing ratings - call the build superb at a high price, with a patience test attached: folding is repeatedly called fiddly at first, several one-child households find it bulky for everyday single use, and some read the seat as small. The bassinet-from-birth setup and side-bag storage draw the warmest comments.
Carry weight follows the ambition at 16.2 kg with the bassinet fitted, and infant-car-seat adapters are sold separately. Bugaboo publishes no maximum child height; its two-year warranty doubles to four with registration.
What we like
- Bassinet and toddler seat both ship in the box, with the bassinet documented as the from-birth position
- Side-by-side chassis converts to a double with a single separately sold sibling seat instead of a second stroller
- Serious cargo: 15 kg / 70 L underseat basket plus a side bag rated to 10 kg on the chassis
- 4-year warranty when buying direct from Bugaboo, and the 2-year standard warranty doubles to 4 years with online registration
Worth knowing
- 35.9 lb with the bassinet fitted - owners repeatedly flag it as bulky for one-child households
- Folding draws recurring 'fiddly at first' reports despite the one-piece self-standing design
- Car-seat adapters are sold separately, so a travel-system route costs extra
- No maximum child height or seat dimensions published, and the seat reads small to some owners next to the published weight limit
Best for
Families who want one sturdy side-by-side chassis that carries a newborn in the included bassinet and grows to a double by adding the sibling seat.
Consider another option if
You mostly ride with one child and want something lighter and quicker to fold for everyday errands.

Verify compatibility with Bugaboo (opens manufacturer compatibility chart in a new tab)Check before buying
- Confirm the Heritage Black colorway and exact contents on the buy page, and budget for the separately sold Bugaboo car seat adapters if you plan to mount an infant car seat
- One child at a time in this configuration; the bassinet and the seat mount on the same chassis. The chassis converts to a side-by-side double only with the sibling seat sold separately.
- Bugaboo's US product-page spec table rates the seat at 22 kg while the North American user guide states 23 kg; both documents print the same pound figure. The product page governs the spec cell. — confirm the current figure with the manufacturer or retailer before buying.
- The Amazon listing's Included Components field shows only 'Underseat basket, Side bag', while the manufacturer box list, the listing's own bullets and owner photos confirm the seat, bassinet, mattress and canopy also ship in the box - an incomplete Amazon field, not a difference in contents — confirm the current figure with the manufacturer or retailer before buying.
- The Amazon warranty field reads '24 months' while Bugaboo documents a standard 2-year warranty doubled to 4 years by registration, with 4 years automatic for direct purchases - consistent in substance, worded differently — confirm the current figure with the manufacturer or retailer before buying.
