Bugaboo Donkey 6 (single, converts to double)

It widens into a side-by-side double when baby number two comes along. There's a bassinet for newborns and a 33 lb basket for shopping on foot. It's heavy at 33.7 lb with the seat. It suits families who mostly walk.

The Donkey's basket holds 33 lb. That's room for the diaper bag and a grocery stop on the way home. If you walk to get most things done, this is a big part of the appeal. You can put the bags down instead of carrying them on your shoulder. That feels good on the last stretch home.

The large all-terrain wheels are puncture-proof. So a flat tire isn't another job waiting between breakfast and getting out the door. They're suited to the rougher parts of a walk, when the nice pavement ends before your route does.

The seat reverses, and the handle height adjusts. Your baby can look at you, then face the street when there's more to see. If someone else takes over the push, the handle can change with them.

The bassinet works from birth, up to 20 lb. That's your spot for the first walks, when leaving the house with clean clothes on feels like enough of a win. The regular seat starts around six months.

Once your baby moves into the seat, you can adjust the backrest with its handle. A busy walk can turn into a sleepy one without keeping the seat at the same angle all the way home.

The Donkey starts as a single and widens into a side-by-side double. That's the draw if you've got one baby now and hope for another. You can keep the stroller as your family grows.

The seat setup folds in one piece and stands by itself. It can wait by the door while you bring everyone inside. Give it a spot to live, because you'll see that folded stroller there after every walk.

With the seat, it weighs 33.7 lb. The bassinet setup is heavier still. If you drive to most places or live up stairs, picture that lift on a tired day. This stroller makes more sense when you can roll it straight home.
