Ok here goes. I sold my beloved Vibe V2 about 5 weeks ago and I'm really starting to regret it!! I have a maclaren quest but my son hates it plus its pants for dog walking so I needed to get another 3 wheeled all terrain pushchair. After a lot of research I decided to go for the nipper V2 as it is reasonably priced and ticked pretty much all of the boxes. I really wanted a mountain buggy urban but after spending close to £800 on the Vibe the hubby put his foot down and said no! Anyway, I have just received my 4th nipper from tesco, after returning the first 3 due the 1st having a broken harness clip and the following 2 having terribly scratched frames! Tesco have been brilliant throughout the whole process and promised they would quality check this one for me before it was sent out, however this hasn't been done and this one is worse than the last!!! I am therefore about to ring them to get a full refund.

What I need to know is, do you think I should call it a day on the nipper and try to convince my husband to let me have the MB urban? I would probably have a better chance of convincing him to let me have the Swift but I'm not sure whether or not it would be suitable for dog walking over what sometimes is very rough terrain as on the MB website its described as being for town centre use.

Help me please, I'm close to breaking point (so is the dog as he is only getting one walk a day at the moment!!!)

What about a Maxi Cosi Mura instead? (they do a 3 wheel version too). Meant to be great over rough terrain and maybe a bit cheaper?

I would convince hubby to let you get the Urban Jungle. They aren't that much more than the Swift. You could always consider second hand - especially the older Urban's with the green logo that were the handmade NZ ones. I have just got an old Swift and love it whereas the quality on the newest Duets was shocking.
The Mura seat is beautiful - the nicest seat I have seen on a pushchair. The fold is large though.
How about a Baby Jogger Elite?

Can't you just get the nipper from somewhere else?
