What do donkeys have to do with children?


I have to admit, the name caught me by surprise. I don't often associate donkey with children's products. Pin the tail on it maybe, but not as a cutting edge, breakthrough product from one of my favourite companies. Got your interest?

Bugaboo has done it again. When they said they were working on a stroller for multiple children, yes, multiple, you knew it really would be like no other. It would (and did) take a very long time, but when it was finally unveiled, it would be spectacular. World, meet the Bugaboo Donkey.

I have to be truthful, I have not seen it in person yet. The first pictures have only recently surfaced on the internet but from what I have managed to find out, it is truly unique. Imagine a single stroller that offers an expandable storage area and goes from single to double and back. The side by side double can be used in the toddler seat mode or basinet mode or both at the same time. Oh and it fits through a standard size doorway too.

I can't wait to see it. You can rest assured that Offspring Baby will have it in the store as soon as we can, but alas, it is not available until the Spring. One more thing to look forward to. I for one, cannot wait.

Did I mention I only have one child? She really doesn't need a stroller. But mom does.

Gee do I know the feeling of needing something that I don't need. I need some new dog toys....and I know which ones I want!

I'm very excited about the new donkey Bugaboo. I really LOVE my Cameleon Bugaboo but do wish there was more storage space or at least having it more accessible. Now having a second child it would be nice to have the double. Even better that it fits through doors! That sounds funny but it is a great feature. We have a MEC double stroller and I have to think about where I take it because it doesn't fit through most doors. But we do love it for our day to day walks and at the beach.

I'm not too sure I could justify having two bugaboos but I can always dream...
