Out'n'About - Nipper V5 Stroller

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!

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

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

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 🐐.

We ended up with a Nipper V5 "running pram" because I couldn't cope with the pathetic wheels on the one we first got. It could barely cope with pavements, let alone a sand or stone path. It's the best thing we bought and we spent about £400 on it. It's so much easier to get around because the wheels are huge. Some of my other mum friends struggle to get down the slightly dirt path to forest school or other classes we go to if the pavements aren't perfect. So, regardless of the brand you get, if you're planning on using it in the countryside, make sure it's got a good wheel design to handle it. I've found the Nipper fairly light, and its wheels come off and go back on easily, so I've been able to fit it in the tiniest cars.

+1 for the nipper here. Our little man's 2 now and he's been out running with me since about 6 months old. Lightweight, hard-wearing, simple to collapse and put up and the foot muff is amazing for colder weather The only bad things I have to about it is the included raincover is less than durable, we've had to replace it once already and the 2nd one is on its way out Storage underneath isn't fantastic but you get a big pocket on either side of the pull over cover The plastic break also wears down and needs greasing (wd40) - I think when this gives up the go will be the death of our 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.

Honestly the donkey isn’t that big. It gets through a doorway. It’s only monstrous when you use car seat adapter. Though I’ve seen now there are better, lighter buggy’s that have carrycot adapters - like the nipper out’n’about but you put the seats flat and a carrycot inserts. If I was buying again I would get that. Glad I didn’t go for the gazelle.

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

Can’t recommend the pram but if you can, wait for them to be running their free baby box promotion. It’s full of genuinely good stuff and I think it’s usually for spends over £100. Just check the JL app. If you plan to do any running/hiking with a pram go for an Out’n’about. Avoid Phil & teds.
