Out'n'About - Nipper Sport Double V5

I love our Out and About Nipper Sport. British designed, really well engineered bit of kit. Easily comfortable for a sub 20 pace.

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!

fastest "dad" at our parkrun last week was 20min with a double buggy so I reckon you actually need another child too! ;) seriously though, Out n About nipper sport is great.

I’ve got the out and about big wheeled one it’s amazing, definitely great for jogging and off road particularly

Although it will cost more than a single package, you might consider getting the Joolz Aer+/Aer² for your main pushchair and then buying a second hand Out n About Nipper Sport v5 for the countryside. The sport version is cheaper than the normal version as it has a fixed front wheel. Both lie flat so can be used from birth, although you shouldn't run with the nipper until your baby is 6 months old. The wheels come off the nipper for putting it in the car (though if you've got them muddy then you might want to leave an old towel in the boot for a quick wipe down). A true do it all solution doesn't exist which is why many people eventually get a compact travel pram in addition to their main day to day travel system. A bassinet/carrycot attachment can also be absolutely worth it, even if your baby grows out of it in 4 months. Many are rated safe for overnight sleep so you can use them in the day time for naps in the living room, or just as a safe place to put baby while you do something, without having to take them to or move the cot in the bedroom. Some babies like carriers and some don't. Same for pram bassinets/carrycots. You won't know until your baby arrives unfortunately. I personally bought a Babystyle Oyster3 (with carrycot) and love it. It's a good all-rounder but probably bigger and heavier than you want for city living. The Oyster4 has now been released and has a much better folding system. I think it's mid range on price but does everything you need it to so I'd recommend it over more expensive options. Maybe it's worth checking out if you only want to buy one pram.

I run with my out n about, you can pick up amazing deals on Facebook marketplace from people who never used it. Look between nipper and nipper sport for the always locked or lockable wheel. They are very lightweight, especially the nipper, but the nipper is a bit less rugged, but still fine for offroad exploring and even round shops and dealing with curbs. Seen quite a lot of the Hauck and like that they have more storage space, but they do look less rugged than the nipper.

We started off with a second hand Uppababy Vista for £50 then as soon as she was 6 months went for an Out N About Nipper Sport. Perfect for buggy running, went all over the Lake District including the Buttermere circular, fabulous on the beach while we saw so many people struggling with their tiny wheeled prams. My daughter is nearly 4 now so stopped using it before aged 3 as we forced her to walk everywhere🤣 but that pram met our lifestyle needs completely. Edit: all 3 wheels come off so will fit in your boot easily

The Nipper Sport has the bigger wheels. My son loved it even when he was too big for it, now my daughter loves it and we do Parkrun fairly regularly. The front wheel is fixed so that takes a little getting used to.

The nipper is great. I had a nipper sport and a 360. I would probably go with the 360 as a general all rounder - we used it as our main buggy as it was better than our expensive icandy, but the sport is excellent on really rough terrain and for running. I’d recommend getting a second hand one on marketplace. We did that and sold it on for pretty much no loss a few years later
