Bugaboo Donkey This is the top double stroller for families looking for a stylish, side-by-side double stroller. It's a bit bigger than other Bugaboo strollers, but it feels solid and built to last.

This model isn't perfect. First, it's heavy. It weighs 36.6 pounds fully loaded which puts it close to the extreme end of our measurement. Additionally, it has limited visibility in the back seat when a car seat is installed. The front tray release can be difficult to use, especially when used for a long time. Despite these issues, we believe that this is a great stroller to have for your family.

This tandem stroller comes with independently reclining seats for maximum comfort. Its large canopy offers UPF 50 protection and also comes with an open view for easy monitoring. We'd like to see the canopy vented for extra airflow, though. We also didn't love that the cup holder sits quite high on the frame, which means you'll need to bend down to reach it. In our test of tipping, the Jeep fell over at 39 degrees of angle which is higher than average for a double stroller. It's heavier than the average and has more storage for the money. The seats and handle are also well-padded.

They should also be one year old before taking them on rough terrain. It is available in black and has a limited lifetime warranty.
