Bugaboo Donkey 5
The Donkey 5 is a side-by-side pram that starts as a single with a handy side basket and widens to take two children. As a single it is no wider than a Fox, and as a double it still fits through a standard doorway. It is heavy and big when folded, but it saves buying a second pram.
