Out ‘n’ About Nipper Double V6 Pushchair review: an all-terrain buggy built for everyday family life

The Out 'n' About Nipper Double V6 has a five-point harness and well-padded seats for comfort

How we tested the Out ’n’ About Nipper Double V6 pushchair

• Tested for eight weeks with 3.5-year-old twins

• Used regularly for nursery runs in a very hilly, coastal area

• Taken into town for errands and shopping

• Used at the park on grass, mud and uneven ground.

Brogan tested the Nipper Double V6 for eight weeks with her 3.5-year-old twins. Living in a very hilly, coastal area that’s often exposed to the elements, she relied on the stroller for the daily nursery run. Walking the route without a pushchair simply isn’t realistic with twins, so it quickly became part of their everyday routine.

She also used the buggy around town, navigating shops, pavements and busy streets where manoeuvrability was important. At the park, the buggy was pushed across grass, mud and uneven ground to test how well it performs as an all terrain pram, rather than just on smooth pavements.

After testing was complete, Brogan scored the Nipper Double V6 on eight key criteria including: performance, quality and durability, ease of use, value for money, safety and stability, ease of folding and unfolding, comfort and storage - to give a total score out of 100.

Out ’n’ About Nipper Double V6 pushchair: What’s in the box?

The Nipper Double V6 arrives mostly assembled, so setup is fairly straightforward. Inside the box you’ll find:

• Aluminium buggy frame

• Three air-filled wheels

• Sun canopy

• Bumper bar

• Seat liners

• Padded harness and crotch pads

• Rain cover

• Instruction manual

Because most of the pushchair comes pre-assembled, the main setup involves attaching the wheels and sun canopy before you’re ready to go. The included rain cover is a particularly useful extra, especially if you plan to use the buggy year-round.

Like many double buggies, several accessories are available separately depending on how you plan to use it. The Nipper Double V6 is compatible with the Out ‘n’ About Double Carrycot V6, as well as a newborn insert if you prefer a lighter setup.

Other optional extras include:

• Front Rider (buggy) board

• A snack tray

• Footmuff

• Nipper Pod

How easy is it to assemble the Out ’n’ About Nipper Double V6 pushchair?

Getting the Nipper Double V6 ready to use is simple. Most of the pushchair arrives already assembled, so the main job is attaching the wheels and a few finishing pieces before heading out for the first walk.

Brogan said the process was simple to manage on her own. “It was really easy to assemble. I did it entirely by myself - incredibly sleep-deprived, in about 45 minutes, which I was really impressed with.” She found the instructions clear and easy to follow, and only needed a screwdriver as an extra tool.

For comparison, she said putting together her previous double buggy, the Mountain Buggy Duet, was far more involved. “Our Mountain Buggy Duet took hours to assemble, with much more to do, including building parts of the frame.” In contrast, the Nipper Double V6 felt much quicker and more manageable to set up straight out of the box.

The Out 'n' About Nipper Double V6 is available in 5 colours

How does the Out ’n’ About Nipper Double V6 pushchair look?

Brogan was pleasantly surprised by how stylish the Nipper Double V6 looks in real life. She tested the buggy in the grey colourway and felt it struck a nice balance between practical and eye-catching. “It’s really swish and sleek,” she said. “The grey is smart and the orange stripes are fun.”

The overall finish also impressed her. The frame is made from black anodised aluminium, which gives the pushchair a sturdy, durable feel while keeping the weight relatively manageable for a double buggy. The fabric itself feels hard-wearing and well suited to everyday use, important for a buggy that’s likely to be used across different terrains and in all kinds of weather.

The three large 12-inch air-filled tyres also give the Nipper Double V6 its distinctive look. They’re chunkier than the wheels you’d find on a typical pushchair, which immediately signals that this is designed as more of an all-terrain pram than a lightweight stroller.

Along with the built-in suspension and swivel-lock front wheel, the wheels add to the buggy’s sporty, outdoorsy feel. It’s worth noting that if you get a flat, the air-filled tyres can simply be pumped up with the Portable Tyre Pump or repaired with a basic puncture repair kit, just like a bicycle tyre. As Brogan pointed out, double buggies are often chosen purely for practicality. But in this case, the Nipper Double V6 manages to feel like a proper workhorse while still looking smart enough for everyday use.

The Out 'n' About Nipper Double V6 has three air-filled tyres and a sturdy footbrake for extra stability

Is the Out ’n’ About Nipper Double V6 pushchair safe and sturdy?

Yes! Overall, Brogan found the Nipper Double V6 reassuringly sturdy for everyday use with twins. It comes with a five-point harness, which she said feels secure and quick to fasten - an important detail when you’re trying to strap in two toddlers at speed. “It’s super easy to use when you’re in a rush or dealing with a tantrum,” she said. Like many harnesses, her twins occasionally managed to wriggle their arms out of the straps, but she didn’t see this as a major issue. “It’s a solid five-point harness, and we had exactly the same with our Mountain Buggy Duet.”

In terms of handling, she found the buggy solid and capable on most types of terrain. It was easy to bump up curbs and felt stable when rolling over uneven ground. The three-wheel design does take a little getting used to, though. The front wheel can be locked for extra stability, which Brogan found particularly helpful on rougher surfaces. “You need to experiment with locking the wheel depending on the terrain,” she explained. “I definitely preferred it locked when going over bumps.”

That said, she did notice a small learning curve with the three-wheel setup, especially on hills. When turning the buggy to cross the road, it could feel slightly tippy if the angle wasn’t right. “Being a three-wheeler, it’s a bit unstable if you turn it on a hill - it can tip,” she said. With two heavier toddlers on board, she suspects this may contribute. Once she got used to how the Nipper Double V6 handles, though, it became much less of an issue. Her advice is simple: take the turn slowly and aim for a clean 90-degree angle when crossing the road. “Don’t rush it,” she laughed.

The Out 'n' About Nipper Double V6 has plenty of space for older children

How comfortable is the Out ’n’ About Nipper Double V6 pushchair?

Brogan found the Nipper Double V6 comfortably roomy for her twins, who are nearly 3.5 years old. Double buggies can sometimes feel a bit cramped once children get bigger, but she said both seats offered plenty of space. “The seats are really roomy and my twins fit in well,” she explained. The harness can also be adjusted as children grow, which helps keep them properly supported at different heights and for a double buggy - the footrest is wide enough for two pairs of little feet.

The sun canopies were another feature she appreciated, especially given how exposed her coastal walks can be. They provide good coverage, helping to shield the children from both sun and wind when needed.

She also liked how practical the bumper bar is for everyday use. “The bumper bar is easy to remove or open up, which makes it really easy for them to jump in and out of the buggy themselves,” she said something that becomes increasingly useful with independent toddlers.

What’s the Out ’n’ About Nipper Double V6 pushchair like to use day to day?

Throughout testing, Brogan found the Nipper Double V6 practical and reassuring to handle, particularly given the hilly terrain where she lives. One of the standout features for her was the braking system. The buggy has a footbrake designed to be “flip-flop friendly,” and she confirmed it works exactly as intended. “The brakes are really secure and sandal-proof - I can confirm,” she laughed.

There’s also a handbrake and a wrist strap, features often associated with running buggies but surprisingly useful for everyday walking too. Living in Brighton, where steep hills are part of daily life, Brogan found these added an extra layer of security. “I live in Brighton where there are lots of hills, and I actually find the handbrake really useful even when I’m just walking around,” she said. “It just gives you that extra sense of control.”

She did notice one small quirk with the footbrake, though. It appears to lock only one wheel, which means the buggy can sometimes pivot if it’s parked facing uphill. “Because we live on a hill and head uphill to nursery, the buggy can spin round to face downhill when it’s locked,” she explained. It’s not something she found particularly problematic once she’d worked around it. “For loading the kids in, I either park facing downhill or lock the front wheel. Once you know that, it’s easy enough.”

The handlebar is another practical touch. Rather than extending, it swivels to adjust the angle, and Brogan found the height worked well for both her and her partner despite the height difference. “It’s a good height for me at 5ft 4 and my boyfriend at 6ft,” she said - and amusingly, even the twins occasionally insist on taking over pushing duties themselves.

The large rain cover also proved simple to use. It attaches with Velcro and fits over the front of the buggy to protect both seats. According to Brogan, it’s quick to put on when the weather turns - something that’s particularly helpful when you’re juggling two toddlers and a sudden coastal downpour.

The Out 'n' About Nipper Double V6 has ample storage space and a comfortable handlebar for easy steering

What’s the storage basket like?

The Nipper Double V6 offers generous storage both under the buggy and behind each seat. The under‑seat basket is large and includes fastening straps to secure items to the frame, which is a small but important detail - it stops bags from sliding out when bumping up curbs or hopping onto a bus. It comfortably fits a changing bag and a carry potty, making every day errands easier.

Additional pockets behind each seat, as well as small mesh pockets inside the seats, are perfect for storing toys, snacks, or a water bottle. While the manufacturer doesn’t provide a specific weight limit for the under‑seat storage, it’s best used for lighter essentials rather than heavy loads.

The Out 'n' About Nipper Double V6 folds for easy storage

How easy is the Out ’n’ About Nipper Double V6 pushchair to fold and unfold?

Brogan found the Nipper Double V6 fairly straightforward to fold once she’d got the hang of it. The folding mechanism is operated using a pull handle, which collapses the frame down quickly.

There is one extra step to be aware of, though. “You do have to recline the seats before it will fold properly,” she explained. That caught her off guard at first. “I was expecting something more like the really easy one-step fold you get on some single buggies.” With two toddlers in tow, stopping to recline both seats before folding isn’t always the most convenient step, but it becomes second nature after a few uses.

For car travel, the buggy can be made even more compact by removing the wheels. “Taking the wheels off makes it fold much narrower, which is really helpful if you’ve got lots of luggage in the boot,” she said. The trade-off is that removing the wheels isn’t always practical if you’re managing the buggy and two children on your own.

It’s also worth noting that the Nipper Double V6 doesn’t have a locking clip when folded, and it’s not particularly easy to carry. That said, Brogan feels this is simply part of owning a double buggy. “To be honest, none of them are that easy to carry,” she said.

Does the Out ’n’ About Nipper Double V6 pushchair easily fit into a car boot?

Brogan says, “The Nipper Double V6 takes up quite a lot of space in our boot and our boot is pretty roomy. It’s definitely bigger than our usual Mountain Buggy Duet.”

The good news is you can remove the wheels to make it more compact. Brogan adds, “Removing the wheels is super easy, but in reality, it’s not always practical especially if they’re muddy or wet after a walk.”

For parents of twins planning longer trips or weekends away, she notes it’s worth considering how much space this double buggy takes. “You really need to be strategic about packing other items around it if you want everything to fit comfortably.”

How does the Out ’n’ About Nipper Double V6 pushchair manage on public transport?

Brogan says, “We didn’t test trains or the tube, but I have no doubt the buggy would be fine - it’s sturdy and manageable enough to lift if needed.”

She adds, “With this buggy, you generally need to board from the back of the bus, which isn’t unusual for double buggies. Not all buses have rear doors, so sometimes you’ll need to fold it to get on.”

For comparison, Brogan notes, “Our Mountain Buggy usually fits from the front, but there have been times it’s been tricky. Honestly, that’s more of a double buggy issue than anything specific to the Nipper Double V6.”

She also highlights the width consideration: “Brighton buses say a maximum width of 700mm to board comfortably, this buggy is slightly wider, so just be aware when planning trips.”

Is the Out ’n’ About Nipper Double V6 pushchair easy to clean?

Yes! Brogan says, “We haven’t had to do a full wash yet, but everything comes off really easily if you need to. The seat liners, canopies, and straps all detach without fuss, which is handy.”

She adds, “Even with two toddlers, there’s been no wear and tear - it’s super sturdy! Quick wipes for crumbs or muddy shoes have been easy, so it’s kept looking fresh without any stress.”

Is the Out ’n’ About Nipper Double V6 pushchair good value for money?

Brogan says, “Yes, I do think it’s worth it, especially if you’re a twin parent. This buggy can carry you from newborn up to around four years old, so it really grows with your family.”

She highlights that the Nipper Double V6 is built to last: “It’s a solid, well-made double buggy, and that durability is worth paying for - a good buggy like this quickly becomes your best friend on nursery runs, errands, or days out. We didn’t test the newborn inserts, but they look really sturdy and well-made.”

Brogan also notes the thoughtful features that justify the price: the dual-position seats, easy recline for naps, large sun hoods, spacious under-buggy storage, and accessories like the rain cover and padded harnesses all make life easier for parents. “Even little touches like the flip-flop–friendly brake and the larger, redesigned basket make a big difference when you’re juggling twins,” she says.

The only caveat she flags is public transport: “If you rely on buses or trains, you’ll need to plan, it’s not the most compact for city travel, and you may need to fold or remove the wheels to get it on some buses. But for everyday walking, hills, parks, and rougher terrain, it handles brilliantly.”
