Nipper 360 single v MB Swift 2009?

[BeehiveBaby]

I need a pram that is super light to push with a heavy child, suitable from newborn (just for somewhere to pop down when out though, will mainly sling for at least 6 months) and going to need to work well with a buggy board eventually.

Does anyone think either of these will be much better? I like a good sun hood and I don't think the 2009 MB Swift has the fold out visor but can't afford the 2010. Main thing putting me off the Nipper is that the fold looks like a faff and a half but it is sooo light which would be great! Also, may not work as well with a board due to the lack of an adjustable handle?

Don't know about the nipper, know lots of people who think they are fab, something about the shape of the hood I don't like!

MB swift is fab fab fab, mine came last week. Did not like the 2010 one I got the 299 2009 one and just brill. There are some pics on my profile if you want to see my very tall 3.5 dd and my 5 month old ds sat in it. It does not have the flip out sun viosr no (I like that too!) so easy to fold and small to fold and if you do store it away takes about as much space as an ironing board, has retractble axles you just need somewhere to hide the wheels.

You can get carrycot for the 2010 but not 2009 but it does lie nice and flat, add a sheepskin to make it extra cosy maybe?? Lovely lovely lovely buggy

Thanks Carrie. I forgot my main gripe with my current pram - exceptionally heavy to tip up to get up kerbs IYSWIM. If you see this, is the Swift OK for that?

i used nipper with board and it was fantastic! so light to use even with an 18m old in seat and a 4yo on the board! bloody fab im now on my second nipper. So underrated.

Arrgh, so confusing! Good to know about the board though.

Not actually used it yet other than in the house but very easy to use and not at all tippy. I don't need a board as Carrie walks well to playgroup which is quite a distance but I have heard lots of people on here say buggyboard works brill with MB urban, can't see it would be any diff to swift?
