Out n About Nipper V4 Single Pushchair

I chose this push chair when my little boy was about 3 months old and the temporary travel system I’d bought (second hand) had seen him through the new born stage and I had more of an idea of what I liked and disliked.

I really wanted something that could go off road and still be comfortable and equally something that is easy to steer. The Nipper does both really well. It turns on a sixpence and despite its size steers really smoothly - something that’s important when you’re having to walk or carry a baby/toddler who doesn’t want to be pushed. For both these reasons I love the Nipper, and now I’m expecting a second baby, am hoping to add the carry cot to it for as long as needed before converting back to the pushchair.

There are a few minor points though. We went through a phase of getting loads of punctures and flat tyres. We finally put it down to an alley near us which is lined with holly bushes, even though I was always careful not to push over spiky stuff on the ground. As one who hates the faff of sorting a puncture on a bike, this wasn’t my favourite job. It’s also pretty disappointing for an off road pushchair which I think should be able to handle stuff like this.

The shopping basket is tiny and fairly useless for anything other than a few items. The integrated sunshade/hood is also not massive and I was forced to buy a Nipper sunshade as otherwise my little boy would have been far too exposed. Another expense on top of what is a fairly pricey pushchair. The Nipper is also bulky in size and takes up my entire car boot (ok I only have a Corsa but still...) as well as being pretty heavy and awkward to carry when folded.

However, despite seeming like a long list of cons, the pros, which were what I bought it for, absolutely outweigh them and I’d recommend the Nipper if you like your pushchair to be Nippy!

I love this pushchair ! Very easy to push, steer even one handed. we are a very active family and enjoy walking , this pushchair is amazing on all terrains, beautifully soft suspension for those bumpy tracks, and with the air filled tyres my toddler hardly feels any of them ...
the only down falls are ... likely hood of Getting a puncture and it is quite bulky when folded even tho you can take the wheels off with ease.

Great buggy, so comfortable to push, even on rough terrain. Pretty straight forward to use, fold etc. Wheels come off nice and easily, which is handy because I found it still quite large even when folded flat, probably because of the big wheels though. The handle bar used for pushing is just made of foam and I imagine it would get damaged quite easily. We have purchased covers to try and protect, so far so good.

I got this buggy for my second child after using the double version with my first. It is just as good as the better known double version, glides along and really couldn’t be easier to steer and push. I have my third in the carrycot attachment currently and when I unclip that I can use the seat for my second born who is two. I love fact the buggy is so flexible. My only real gripe is it is quite hard to fold and lift into boot, hence I tend to keep ours upright inside, I use the MacLauren or sling for car outings. Overall I would not have any other brand if I could only have one buggy. Lasts from newborn to age 4.

Love my pushchair. Little one always looks comfortable in the seat even at 2 1/2 he still has plenty of room.
My only regret is I didn't buy it sooner.

Have to be very careful when driving on uneven street. Quite big frame, good size of shopping basket. Over all it’s ok if you are not living in countryside. Better for city
