Our test subject found the auto-lock a bit confusing, and because the handlebar doesn't lock into its position when you push it and it landed on her leg when she was using it. double pram and pushchair was a little on the short side, especially with a big changing bag hanging from it.
As opposed to other light travel buggies, this doesn't skimp on features and is one of the most feature-packed double strollers that are available. It's compatible with two carrycots (available separately) and has multiple recline positions, and has a UV 50+ canopy. You can even add an additional bassinet to one or both seats and transform it into a travel set-up.
The four rubber composite wheels are ideal for pavements as well as urban terrain, but they're not built for off-roading. They struggled with long grass and gravel and there's not much clearance between the bracket and the wheel, so mud got stuck easily. Our testers loved this buggy and was able to climb pretty dirt hills.

Our test participants found that the Nipper Double is incredibly easy to maneuver, even on uneven terrain or when turning in a busy road. The feature that the seats can be reclined independently was a big hit.
They also liked that the hoods were able to be moved forward and back and back, making them much easier to adjust to the sun or for wind protection. They didn't offer the same coverage as Baby Jogger City Mini Hoods. It's worth having an additional rain cover in the case.
Overall, our test participants were impressed with the Nipper double's capacity to let them take their twin daughters Sydney and Lyla to all sorts of adventures. From spotting wildlife in a forest to rushing to a park for a playdate, they loved it. They were also awed by how cozy and spacious the two seats are, with plenty of room for growing toddlers to sprawl out in. Our test participants did not agree, however, that the absence of parent-facing seating and the inability to use car seats with the buggy was a disadvantage and they would like to have seen more storage space to store shopping items and other accessories.
