MB Urban Double or Nipper 360?

6 replies

Ok, now have completely changed direction with the double and have to make a decision now between a second hand MB Urban with carrycot or a brand new Nipper 360 as they seem to be about the same amount!

Can anyone help the decision making?!

Thanks very much!

the MBUD is narrower the nipper is lighter, what is most important?
i couldnt have a nipper as its too wide, i have a mbud and use it daily for the school run, i love it, i can push it with one hand, its a fairly compact fold as its flat. even with two buggyboards on the back its easy to push and it can go anywhere, the beach/woods/muddy farm tracks and because its four air tyres its very stable. i have had childreen on the hood and two sitting on the front etc. they also last for ever if you get an older NZ (pre 2010) version.
loads of people love the nipper as well, not heard a bad review of them but they are wider and have three wheels rather than four but are much lighter.
hopefully that helped a bit.

Thank you! Yes, it did help a little bit! Think the lightness is most important as going to be getting it in and out of the car a lot. Although its that VS carrycot for newborn!

i did see someone with two phil and teds cocoons rear facing in a nipper for her twins. a carrycot would last longer though.
i did have a MBUD in the boot and its ok getting it in and out, i had two one for the house and one in the car Blush. i sold one and went through a series of inline ones but prefered the MB then couldnt get a good NZ one so ended up with a P&T TWIN side by side which is a bit lighter, now i have a p&t in the boot and a MBUD in the house for the school run. i prefer the MB out of the two, i had two normal carrycots and a twin carrycot for my twins they are lovely and comfy and can be used as a moses basket as well.

How do you attach the carrycot into the MG? Do you have to get an MB brand one or can you use another carrycot? How does it work? Thks

Moodykat - If you want something light then the Nipper would be better but I found teh handle rediculously low on it (I am 5ft 3) but I know most people taller than me have no issue with this so maye just because I was used to higher handles beforehand.

I could never quite master teh fold on the Nipper (thought it was quite confusing) where as from the videos the MB looks much easier although a lot bulkier when folded.

Shambolic - AFAIK you can only use the MB ones which fit onto the frame, not like the soft ones that go on the seats. You can either get a twin carrycot which is one giant one or a normal sized one which takes up one side of the pushchair or 2 of these instead of one big one.
