I love mine, ignoring the few niggles.

Light weight

Fully reclines

Suitable from birth

Adjustable leg rest
Could be easier to fold

Rain cover could fit better

Hood clips off after being unfolded
I bought my Jam Mojo Nipi in the Mamas and Papas sale, so I managed to get the weather pack cheap! Otherwise, I may have gone for a different buggy.

I needed a light weight buggy that would be easy to fold up in order to get on and off of buses, if needed. I am a small 5' 2", and have no problem lugging this one on and off buses!! It's a nice height, and the handles are long enough that DH, who is 6' 4", doesn't need to slouch.

My issues are, that the hood unclips itself after it's been folded up. It annoys the hell out of me, but I am trying to make peace with it. The rain cover doesn't seem to fit very well, now that my DD is bigger and her legs hang off the leg rest, so I would highly recommend getting a universal rain cover from Mothercare. Also, I can be a bit tough to collapse, but once you get the hang of it, it's ok.

My DD seems very comfortable in her buggy, and is always falling asleep when we are out, thanks to the fully reclinable seat. It's sponge washable, and such a lovely colour :-)

Fab lightweight stroller that's easy to steer, fully reclines and looks great too. Ideal for holiday or as a second buggy, comfortable ride for baby and sturdy enough to last.

Lightweight
Fully reclines (so suitable for very young babies)
Good suspension
Lockable swivel wheels
Wide, comfortable seat
Funky fabric designs available
Brakes can catch on steps
Shopping basket not very accessible when seat fully reclined
Hood & raincover need to be purchased seperately
Handles not adjustable
We've been very pleased with our Nipi, it's basic but everything we could want in a lightweight buggy. The price is reasonable as the Nipi is sturdy with a wide seat that will last you until your LO no longer requires a stroller. The shopping basket isn't the biggest but the buggy comfortably takes a couple of bags on the handles without tipping. The handles don't adjust, the height is fine for us (5 7" and 6ft) but may not suit everyone. The Nipi is easy to fold and the seat reclines easily without waking a napping babe. It's definitely more sturdy than some of its competitors we tested, so the only niggle is that you have to purchase the hood and raincover seperately. Overall we'd definitely reccommend this stroller, especially as a second buggy or for taking on holiday if you want to leave your travel system at home.
