The Nipper Double is at the upper end of the price range for side-byside prams. It is solid and well-constructed, and is suitable for infants and children up to the age of four. The lack of parent-facing seat options, and not being compatible with car seats can place it in a higher price category than other models, but its high-quality manoeuvrability, as well as the ability to deal with all terrains, makes it a solid option.
The assembly is quite simple, and the manual is very clear and easy to follow. The only criticisms I have are that they are noisy and clunky, and the Velcro used to secure them could cause your baby to wake up. This is a problem especially if you're walking in a park quietly and do not want other parents to be disturbed. Storage compartments were also noted as an issue.
