  "title": "Single-to-Double Strollers: Are They Worth the Price?",
  "question": "Is a stroller that converts from a single seat to a double seat worth its cost?",
  "answer": "Bugaboo Donkey 5 Mono: The blog says the Donkey 5 converts from single to side-by-side double in seconds without tools, is 29 inches wide in double mode and fits standard doorways, and that Bugaboo holds its value well on the second-hand market. The store listing says the stroller goes from Mono to Duo mode, or back, in only three clicks.\nBugaboo Donkey 5 Mono (2-in-1 stroller): The reviewer, after a year of use, says it is a better double than a single because it is wide and heavy in Mono mode (around 33 lbs) and weighs more than rivals such as the Vista; the fold is multi-step and can be done with the bassinet attached but the result is massive. This shop's review explains the Mono is one child plus an elevated 35 L side luggage basket that can only be used in Mono mode, that the frame telescopes to 29.1 in for Duo/Twin, and that going twin needs a second bassinet fabric and an extension pack bought separately.\nBugaboo Donkey 5 Mono Complete: Rated the best splurge double stroller because it narrows to fit standard doorways and widens for two, with a plush ride and durable build, but it is the heaviest and most expensive option with premium-priced accessories.",
