Getting outside with our young children can either be a big excursion, or simply sitting on a blanket on the grass. Just being outside in the fresh air and nature, is exciting for our kiddies, and also quite relaxing for us too.

Sit together for a hug in the sunshine, these special moments of stillness can be captured and lengthened by stopping for a brief moment to snuggle up close and listen together to name the different sounds that you hear…. a dog … Continue Reading

If we were truly honest, how many of us feel surrounded by toys that our children never seem to play with?

Hi, my name is Stef Green and many customers who have visited the Active Baby store on Wednesday mornings will recognize me as the lady with the crazy socks who jumps around with their children for imagination story time. I have had the privilege of leading many imaginary adventures with these beautiful little minds that have stayed to play at the weekly story time, and we have been on fabulous imaginary journeys right there in the store.

For me, I know … Continue Reading

Not a question I thought I’d hear myself ask out loud, but do you need one? Let me rephrase that. You do need one! Why? You ask. Let me explain!

The Bugaboo Donkey is the latest stroller to come from the Bugaboo collection.  With all the storage it offers you will no longer feel like a pack mule carrying all the baby’s belongings. It all fits in.

The Bugaboo Donkey stroller starts as a single stroller, the Mono, stretches to the Duo. Have twins? It can start as the Duo, but if you only need to take one baby out it shrinks back to the single.
Need to fit a lot of groceries under the basket, stretch that single to the double width and you’ve gained some extra space.

The innovative mechanism allows for it to go back and forth from single to double with ease, its just the matter of 3 quick clicks, and safe to do while a child is in the stroller.

The Bugaboo website says “Imagine leaving your home – in duo position – with your two kids. You drop one off at the daycare center then continue – in mono position – with your other kid. It’s that easy.”  Sure sounds easy but what do you do with the toddler seat? Leave it at daycare? Maybe.  After seeing it and chatting with the rep we figured you can slide the seat off and put it underneath, Maybe not practical if you are off to grocery shop before picking up your toddler. But the only way to go back to mono with out leaving the seat in the car or at daycare!

Its light weight and very easy to fold, keep the seats/carrycot on, or take them off a flatter fold. Remove the wheels and it stores even flatter. Bugaboo tested their stroller in some 30 different makes of cars and got it to fit every time, So I’m sure with a test run you’ll find the perfect fit in your vehicle too.

It is on the expensive side, but if I had to buy just one stroller that would have fit my needs over the last 5 years this would have been it. Bugaboo Donkey where are you 5 years ago?

Bugaboo Donkey stroller is available now at Active Baby store at North Vancouver. Click here to see more Donkey information.
