EXCELLENT PUSHCHAIR

Very Light to push, narrowest of its type with plenty off room for children. Comfortable. Plenty of storage areas for bits and bobs. Excellent manoueverability. Good Suspension
Folds down well, but awkward to carry- seats would all drop down whilst trying to put in boot.
Excellent Pushchair. Would recommend it to most people

FANTASTIC DOUBLE PUSHCHAIR, EXTREMELY EASY TO MANOUVER.

This Lightweight double pushchair is very easy to manouver with a 360 swivel front wheel, ideal for rapid change of direction, especially when chasing a toddler and very easy to steer with 1 hand. As it only weighs 9kg this is very easy to put in the car boot and folds virtually flat so easy to store.

Large storage pockets on either side of the hood, ideal for keeping bottles and purses handy. Has further storage pockets on the back of each seat, although not huge are ideal for blankets toys and some shopping (a storage basket can be purchased at around £16 which fits underneath the pushchair) The large hood also shades the children from the sun so no need for additional sun canopy, (however I understand the double shadeababe does fit for added protection if desired)

Good Dual rear brakes (previous nipper had 2 seperate rear brakes)

Only 77cm Wide, we havent found a door we cant fit through yet, even fitted next to our table in Pizza Hut with ease.

Excellent RED colour, certainly turns heads.

Good All over rain cover easy to put on, the rain cover is elasticated at the front and goes over the foot plate, therefore no hooks on the rain cover to break off, this seemed to be a problem with the old Nippers.

Tyres are quick release, ideal for removing muddy wheels prior to putting in the boot of the car.

This pushchair comes with minimal assembly required.

Multi position seats using a strap with a movable clasp can be reclined to low lie by unclipping totally.
Upright seat position could do with being a little higher. Low lie position is very low, making the 5 point harness sit a little awkward on the infant, even with the newborn support. When in the low lie position you cant access the rear seat storage pockets without raising the seat.

Although only takes seconds to fold down its a shame that it doesnt have a one hand fold mechanism.

The tyre valves could do with being angled so it is easier to pump up the tyres.

I personnally would have liked RED footmuff's with this but Out n About decided not to do them, therefore if I wanted the footmuff's would have to go with Grey to co-ordinate.
NO CALIPER BRAKE WITH THE 2007, 360 SWIVEL WHEEL MODEL as advertised, but very useful dual rear breaks, much better than the previous Nipper version.

I have purchased 2 other twin pushchairs and sold them within weeks due to not doing satisfied with the way they push and them being too wide, I wish this had been the one I had gone with first, so as not to have made expensive mistakes.
I would certainly recommend this pushchair to anyone looking for a side by side for twins or siblings.

This 360 Nipper only came out this week, and I are very happy with it so far and feel I have finally made the right decision, my sister is expecting twins and is now looking to purchase one as well.

Apart from the Newborn support we have not purchased any other accessories but footmuff's, tyre pump, carry bag and head huggers, storage basket are available. For the price would like to of seen some accessories with it!!

Shopping basket drags on ground,raincover splits after a while with all the folding.

Great for newborn twins. Can hang picnic bag over handles. Handle is a good height.
To wide to go through a lot of shop doorways and down some aisles.
Have found that the wheels buckle and result in a broken axle. am on second one. Children now 2yrs find the seat a bit resrictive with coats on.
Not bad, lighter than most other doubles but not as stable.
