Out'n'About - Nipper Sport Double V5

Bugaboo Donkey is very wide, look for something that not so wide, like out n about.. we have that; much more narrow; a dream to push and easy to close! With tandem, even if you are ok with it, as they grow your twins might fight as to who should get the better view and refuse to get in; I have heard that happening, so chose side by side!

I've got VW golf and can fit my Icandy Orange pram in, I just have to take off one wheel to get the door shut. When the bassinet was on I would take that off and place it on top in the boot, now shes in the seat I can fold it down with it attached and place in the boot, still with one wheel off. I can also fit in my running buggy (out and about brand). We take off the side wheels for that too as its a bit longer with them on. I find getting her in and out fine. Her first carseat was a maxi cosi pebble 360. And we upgraded recently to the maxi cosi emerald which is also great. I am used to doing all this in our other car too though which is smaller - a Toyota GR Yaris

Other half ran with a nipper out and about. Second child as a toddler absolutely loved it, thought it was the biggest laugh and often conked out after fifteen minutes. However he needed to plan a 'flat route' as nipper doesn't handle off-road style at speed so it's mainly a road runner buggy. Edit - when she was about two she would yell 'encouragement' at him to make him go faster

Did a few parkruns with my kid in a Nipper Sport until about age 5 and they got too heavy for me up the hills.  We also used to run to nursery (about 1 mile each way) which was always fun - in winter, I'd use a puffer jacket like a quilt to keep the kid warm. We'd also tuck a portable speaker in the pushchair hood and play tunes on the way which made things fun.  The pushchair we had is the 'sleek one with big wheels' as you say, which is not the most practical - usually took one or both wheels off to go in the car (despite being an estate).  Also, the front wheel is fixed and, with such a long wheelbase, it's not the best turning circle. Not ideal for negotiating shops etc!  I enjoyed it, if you can find a 2nd hand one for a good price I'd say give it a try. 

I run with my 3YO and 5YO, between 5k and 20k a week depending on the season/what we're doing. If I didn't, I would get no exercise ever and would be a small puddle of anxiety and depression on the floor. I started in lockdown with the 1YO in an OutnAbout Sport, when the 2nd one got big enough to run with I switched to a [Burley Dlite X](https://burley.com/en-uk/products/dlite-x) double with jogging wheel, which is pricey but awesome (and coverts to a bike trailer if that's your thing). I've done races with them (5ks last summer, we are working up to a 10k this year as it will probably be our last summer before 5YO wants to run on her own) and can't recommend it enough! A really good place to start is https://www.runningbuggies.com/ -- not to buy their stuff (I never have) but because they have a really good FAQ and safety guidance especiallyon what you need to keep things safe for younger babies (not relevant to OP but may be for someone else reading this). If you want to try before you buy, I recommend [Kids' Bike Trailers](https://www.kidsbiketrailers.co.uk/) which will let you hire with the option to purchase if you enjoy it, which I ended up doing!

If I were to do it all again, I’d get the Out N About Nipper. I have the double version of it now and it’s far easier to use than my Nuna Mixx, so much that I use it when I only have the baby. Don’t choose style over substance, you won’t care!

I genuinely don't think one buggy can do it all, and anything that says it can just does lots of jobs badly. Also buggies depreciate wildly, so two cheap, second hand ones is better than one expensive (because they're so expensive!) new one. From my experience, an Out N About is the best rural buggy around. In a city I had a Yoto, but that was ages ago and I think there's a lot more variety now.

We had a "proper" running buggy and it was much lighter. Might be worth investing if you enjoy it. I've run with out n about and it's do able but not so much fun, maybe stick to proper paths at first? Our children loved it. A classic Sunday morning outing would be one of us running with the child while the other walked the dog and then meeting at a cafe for coffee. Or someone having a lie in while the other gave them space. You can do parkrun with a buggy, and I'm sure people there would have up to date tips

15 month age gap. Now 2 1/2 and 14months. Double is an absolute lifesaver and must have! Out N about Nipper

I have an out n about double nipper, it’s definitely the best for country walks, I live in a town and love using it day to day too. The seats are nice and big too. However I didn’t really use my double until my youngest was about 6 months as I found it easier to use a sling and a single.

Yep, but due to it being three wheels if you go up a curb or similar it can feel a little off balance.

I don’t know if they sell them in the US. I don’t see it often. But without a doubt. My out n about is brilliant. It’s off-road. And legitimately can handle everything throw at it. It’s super sturdy - I sit on it for a little rest sometimes 😂 but my 4 year old can easily go in it. It’s really comfortable and set back against the weather. The footmuff is cosy. Honestly I love it and between my 3 kids I’ve tried probably 12 pushchairs and this is the absolute GOAT 🐐.
