Does anyone have the Bugaboo Donkey? I have not seen one post on it. I was considering getting it over the cameleon I figured it will give me storage space when I shop plus I can use it as a double too. But it really looks big like a double. Can anyone give me their experience on it?

Thanks

I only saw one person using it as a double and it looks really nice. I actually think it's the only decent looking twin carriage. But the price is just OMG!

(Amother for obvious reasons- I counted only 7 donkeys in BP)

as a double I LOVE it, I think it wheels smoother than my Camelion even with 2 kids. I can push it uphill with 1 hand. As a single I like it too, its just the frame is a bit heavier than the Cam so its a bit heavier to fold and put in the car... its not the carriage to get if your in and out of cars a lot. I also love the basket in single mode, I can go shopping and load up the side. going from a single to double and back takes a minute or less... I live on the second floor and shlep it up every time I go out so its not that heavy, I just found it a bit awkard to fold in double mode but was able to do it. it folds with both seats or bassinets on, you can take it off though if you want a flatter fold.

the price is a bit much but as a single its 'only' 200 more than the cam....

any other questions?

The donkey is by far the nicest double stroller out there. Yes its crazy expensive but dont forget bugaboos have the best resell value if you ever decide you dont want it! So I just look at it as an investment! I personally have the cameleon but if I were to get a stroller now I'd for sure get the donkey.
