Out ‘n’ About Nipper Double Stroller | Tandem Pushchair | Newborn - 4 Years | All-Terrain Twin Buggy | Forest Black

Product Information

While the Nipper Double looks wide thanks to its larger-than-average wheels, it’s actually one of the narrowest side-by-side models on the market (72cm, narrower than the Mountain Buggy Nano Duo or the Bugaboo Donkey Twin) – and, at 12.8kg, it’s also one of the lightest we tested. There are a few important things to consider when buying a running buggy. Here are the main features to look for: A top-scorer in every area, the Nipper Double blew our tester away with its intuitive design features, flexibility and a push so easy it felt like gliding over the ground. When it comes to the best double buggies, there's a huge range of different designs to consider, including basic side-by-side pushchairs, tandem prams, sturdy off-roaders and lightweight strollers for whizzing round cities, putting in the car boot and for taking on holiday. I love it. It’s so lightweight and easy to push. Both children are side by side, so can see things. And being the width of a standard wheelchair, it can fit through all doorways. It is super easy to fold down and goes pretty flat, so there's no need to take the seats on and off. It's great on pavements and for off-roading, too."

The one-hand recline is handy for dealing with snoozing babies mid-run and the supportive padded seat offers a smooth ride. It’s almost ready to go straight from the box as the seat comes attached to the frame but you’ll need to use a bike pump to inflate the wheels before popping them on the chassis. It’s pricey but it’s well engineered, extremely sturdy and very easy for runners and walkers to manoeuvre.

Unsurprisingly, for a pushchair that performs well off-road, this Out n About double buggy has been designed to clean up nicely. Each seat liner is wipe-clean, but for serious spills they’re easy to remove and machine washable. They fared well in our tester’s washing machine (washed only once following juice spillages), without fading, bleeding or shrinking. The sun hoods are equally easy to remove and can be washed if necessary. While it’s safe to use from birth, we don’t feel the seats recline flat enough to give adequate support for newborns, so we’d recommend this buggy from six months plus. Unfortunately, you can’t attach a carrycot and it’s not travel system-compatible, but we love the fuss-free design that’s ideal for busy, budget-conscious families. Adjustable handlebars: It’s well worth looking for a pram that comes with an adjustable handlebar, especially if different family members will be running with it. You’ll want to experiment with different handlebar heights to find a comfortable running position.

The buggy comes with everything you need to get out and about with two children. The carrycot converts to a seat after six months so there’s no need to buy extra seats or store a bulky carrycot. I have a Thule Chariot which is a bike trailer but also has a jogging wheel option too. I have jogged in rutted paths (woodland) and cycled loads, plus (it has smaller stroller wheels too) it bumps up and down curbs so easily. I'd recommend this one if you have lots of room for storage (I keep mine in our garage) and you are ever likely to cycle as well as run” - recommended by Mumsnet user, DontBuyANewMumCashmere Our verdict The folding mechanism is fairly simple to get to grips with and, when folded, the buggy is compact and easy to store, both in a car boot and at home. A double version of the Thule Urban Glide 2, this specialist side-by-side buggy is designed with active parents in mind. With large air-filled tyres, rear-wheel suspension and lightweight frames, running buggies are sturdier than regular pushchairs and offer a smooth journey for both runners and riders.Age range: Newborn to 3 years | Maximum load: 15kg | Product weight: 13.4kg | Dimensions: 38 × 40 × 105cm (folded); 78 × 82 × 108 cm (unfolded) | Travel system-compatible: No | Orientation: Side by side What we love At a fraction of the price of its competitors, the Chicco Echo Twin Stroller offers exceptional value for parents on a tight budget. The Mountain Buggy Duet V3.2 is a side-by-side double buggy that can initially be bought as a single with the view to extending it as your family grows. The Nipper Double has a reputation as an off-road buggy, and no wonder – its rear suspension and air-filled tyres make for a smooth ride over even the bumpiest woodland trail. But our tester found it equally well-suited to urban life, as the Out n About double buggy showed itself unfazed by school runs, park trips and errands in town. Take it slow: It’s best to start things off slowly and gradually increase your pace as you become more comfortable with running with your child in tow.

The Baby Jogger City Tour 2 Double is a lightweight double stroller that caters well to both babies and toddlers. Age range: Newborn to four years | Maximum load: 15kg in each seat | Product weight: 10.5kg | Dimensions: 63 × 66.5 × 25cm (folded); 94.5 × 66.5 × 102.5cm (unfolded) | Travel system-compatible: No | Orientation: Side by side What we loveThe best double buggy is the Mountain Buggy Duet V3.2.
