BTDT Moms...Vista Spinoff vs Bugaboo Donkey

I too am registering for the Uppa Vista however...has anyone ever attached the rumble seat to it? Do they like it? Bc NOW i'm contimplating doing the Bugaboo Donkey, I would hate to spend 800$ on a stroller only to find out it stinks as a double and have to spend 400$ later on

TIA

I checked it out in the store as a double and I didn't like it. The rumble seat seems like it wasn't well thought out. I didn't like how its just staring at the back of the first seat and I had a hard time getting DD into it.

I have read that people aren't crazy about the Vista as a double. The City Select is better as a double because it has more diversity. The Bugaboo Donkey pushes like I dream but it is extremely wide. I saw it a BBB.

This is why I didn't go with something that had a rumble seat the older child is not going to be happy staring at the back of the siblings seat. Abby was miserable for the 30 seconds she was in it at the store. So it knocked out the Phil and Ted also also it doesn't recline for a sleeping toddler if I remember correctly. And the city select doesn't have enough room either.

Thank you ladies...see then what is ideal, I LOVE the bassinet option along side the toddler seat and when I measured the donkey I believe it was 2'' over a standard. I know there are MUCH more important things but the stroller is my biggest hurdle in the reg-ing dept Chat Icon I just want one that will last and that I'm happy with...probably a tall order lol

Re: BTDT Moms...Vista Spinoff vs Bugaboo Donkey

For us this is whats important...
- both kids have room to lay down and nap
- not too heavy as you know I'm small and need to be able to lift it
- needs to fit a toddler and an infant- needs to hold 2 toddlers comfortably because Abby loves her stroller

We have gone through our fair share of strollers lol
