Yes, overall it’s everything I look for in a double pushchair, it was very easy to get around with it, the basket was adequate for carrying a bit of shopping. I liked the big hoods and that they were separate, so I could give the baby a lot of shade while she napped but the toddler could still have hers less shaded giving her more of a view. Adjustable handlebars: It’s well worth looking for a pram that comes with an adjustable handlebar, especially if different family members will be running with it. You’ll want to experiment with different handlebar heights to find a comfortable running position. Side-by-side double buggies tend to be wider than the average pram so may not be suitable for public transport or small car boots. They often have roomy storage baskets though and can be folded easily, but if you have an older child who often wants to walk, the second seat will sit empty. Most are suitable from birth or you may be able to attach an infant carrycot or car seat. Tandem (inline) double buggy

Take it slow: It’s best to start things off slowly and gradually increase your pace as you become more comfortable with running with your child in tow.

Weight: The lighter the overall weight of the pram, the easier it is to push, especially if you’re transporting an older child across uneven terrain.

We carried out a cleanliness test to see how well the fabric coped when juice was spilled and how easily mud came off.

Weighing only 11kg it is one of the lightest double buggies available! With 4 EVA wheels and suspension on both the front and rear the Little Nipper Double really is a dream to push. Complete with all the popular features of the Nipper and suitable to take 2 children of different ages, with the added option of attaching either 1 or 2 carrycots. The Little Nipper Double is the ideal solution for making light work of any journey.” Tested by mum Kim Hardill for the M&B Awards 2017: Double prams can be very bulky and generally measure up to around 82cm in width. But with standard external doorways measuring around 76 to 96cm, most double buggies will fit through doors. However, there are slimmer options available that will cope with most small spaces. While it’s safe to use from birth, we don’t feel the seats recline flat enough to give adequate support for newborns, so we’d recommend this buggy from six months plus. Unfortunately, you can’t attach a carrycot and it’s not travel system-compatible, but we love the fuss-free design that’s ideal for busy, budget-conscious families.

Otherwise this pram is just perfect.
