The Next Evolution of the Iconic Family Pushchair

The highly anticipated Bugaboo Donkey 6 has officially launched and is now available to view and purchase at Chelsea Baby both in-store and online. As one of the most recognised names in premium pushchairs, Bugaboo has once again refined its popular single-to-double stroller with thoughtful updates designed for modern families.

The Bugaboo Donkey 6 pushchair builds on the success of the Donkey 5, maintaining the versatility parents love while introducing improvements in comfort, storage and sustainability. For families expecting their first baby, planning for a second child or welcoming twins, the Donkey 6 remains one of the most flexible and future-proof pushchairs available today.

A Pushchair That Grows With Your Family

One of the reasons the Donkey range has become so popular among parents is its unique single-to-double design. The Bugaboo Donkey 6 can be used in multiple configurations, allowing it to adapt as your family grows.

In Mono mode, the pushchair functions as a spacious single stroller with the addition of a side luggage basket, perfect for everyday essentials. When a second child arrives, the stroller can easily convert into Duo mode, accommodating two children of different ages side by side. For parents expecting twins, the Donkey 6 can also be set up in Twin mode, supporting two bassinets from birth.

Despite this flexibility, the Donkey 6 remains impressively compact. In double configuration it is still narrow enough to fit through most standard doorways, a feature that continues to set it apart from many other double pushchairs on the market.

What’s New: Bugaboo Donkey 6 vs Donkey 5

While the Donkey 5 was already widely regarded as one of the best convertible double pushchairs available, the Bugaboo Donkey 6 introduces several upgrades designed to improve everyday use for parents and comfort for babies.

The most noticeable update is the redesigned bassinet. Bugaboo has expanded the breezy mesh panels to provide significantly improved airflow, helping regulate temperature for newborns in warmer weather. The bassinet now also features a softer organic cotton lining and a breathable mattress, creating a more comfortable sleep environment during those early months.

Storage has also been enhanced. The under-seat basket now offers around fifty percent more capacity, allowing parents to carry more essentials without compromising the pushchair’s balance or manoeuvrability. For busy families juggling shopping, changing bags and everyday items, this increase in storage is a welcome addition.

Another practical improvement comes with the redesigned side luggage basket, a signature feature of the Donkey range. In the Donkey 6, the bag has been refined so it can double as a changing bag and can also attach to the handlebar when the stroller is used in double mode. This makes everyday items easier to reach when you're out and about.

Bugaboo has also made subtle refinements to the seat itself. Longer harness straps, a cleaner finish across the footrest and a discreet storage pocket on the back of the seat help enhance both usability and the premium feel of the pushchair.

Alongside these functional upgrades, Bugaboo has continued its commitment to sustainability by introducing more recycled materials throughout the Donkey 6’s construction, including recycled fabrics and aluminium components.

Bugaboo Donkey 6 Colour Options

As with previous Bugaboo collections, the Donkey 6 is available in a range of sophisticated colourways designed to suit modern lifestyles. Parents can choose from elegant tones such as Midnight Black, Desert Taupe, Forest Green, Grey Mélange and Heritage Black, with a new addition of Cocoa Brown: 

These fabrics not only deliver a premium look but are also produced using more environmentally conscious processes that reduce water consumption and chemical use during manufacturing.

Why the Bugaboo Donkey 6 Stands Out

In a market filled with convertible strollers and double pushchairs, the Bugaboo Donkey 6 continues to stand out for its unique side-by-side design. Unlike many pushchairs that stack seats one in front of the other, the Donkey places children next to each other at equal height. This creates a more balanced push and allows siblings to interact while both maintaining a clear view of the world around them.

The Donkey 6 is also widely praised for its manoeuvrability. Thanks to its large wheels and carefully balanced frame, it remains easy to steer with one hand even when carrying two children. For parents navigating busy city streets, parks or uneven paths, this smooth handling makes a noticeable difference in everyday use.

Perhaps the biggest advantage of the Donkey 6 is its longevity. Rather than replacing a pushchair as your family grows, the Donkey adapts with you. It can begin life as a single stroller, expand for a second child and even accommodate additional accessories such as a ride-on board for older siblings.
