If I'm not mistaken, the seats are the same as the Bugaboo Chamellion. (sp?) So if you already have the Chamellion, or you can buy it used for cheaper, you can buy just the Donkey frame. Am I making sense?

Seriously? You want a deal on a $1500 stroller?

Either you have the money to spend on it, or you can content yourself with another stroller. Trust me, it is not the only one that can possibly suit your needs.

Also the First Wheels City Twin (but not sure if that was discontinued) is well under 1000.

You can call piccolino in Lakewood they always give a minimum of $100 off usually more.

Sorry to have hijacked, just wanted to say thanks for the suggested alternatives! I had a different thread about double strollers and I don't think those names came up. Ideally I'd like the kind that converts from single to double because I don't anticipate having #3 before #2 outgrows needing a stroller but maybe if I find a double I like better I'll get it and later on try to resell and downgrade.

The seats are not compatible with other bugaboo seats.

I have the donkey and found the bassinet a waste- I moved my baby to the seat, which reclines to 180 degrees, at 2 months! So, I think the cheapest way to do it is to get mono +additional seat +hood and see if one of the independent sellers will skip the sales tax. The woman I bought from sells baby things in her garage and was happy to discount the taxes if I would purchase from her. Also, if you want 2 different color seats (like I have blue and pink) it's the easiest way to do it. I am very happy with my purchase.

I don't believe it's legal to skip the tax just to buy from a friend. It is legal in many states to buy online from stores that don't operate in your state and forgo taxes that way.

I have a sister in law who calls her double her car as well. And that's what justified her obtaining a $650 Mountain Buggy as she uses it all over in E"Y. With the money you spend on a Donkey you can get 2 "cars" Wink
