Bugaboo Donkey5 Mono Complete
A premium, durable stroller with a stylish design and configurable seating options, though it comes at a high price and may lack suspension for rough terrains.
Key takeaways from the video
The Donkey 5 has new textiles with softer and more water-repellent properties, additional padding, improved ventilation in the bassinet, and updated colors for fabrics and chassis.
Mechanical changes include a 3 cm raise in seat elevation, new activation triggers for folding on the handle arms, and a revised folding system at the central bar for easier unfolding without pulling triggers.
The updated folding system enhances the stroller's longevity by reducing the strain on the activation triggers, addressing potential issues with the previous model.
The reversible seat side-by-side design of the Donkey 5 provides equal access to both children, making it a versatile and convenient option for parents with two stroller-aged children.
While the changes in the Donkey 5 are notable for improved comfort and functionality, they may not be significant enough to warrant choosing it over the Donkey 3, especially considering potential long-term issues with horizontal expansion.
The Donkey 5 remains a luxurious and practical choice for parents seeking a high-quality stroller for extended use with two children.
Bugaboo continues to innovate and improve the Donkey model, ensuring that it meets the needs of modern families with its updated features and design elements.
