Nipper Double V6
7.7/10 overall£725.00
A 71cm-wide, all-terrain side-by-side double that's narrow enough for a standard doorway and tough enough for daily off-road school runs.
The verdict
An all-terrain, side-by-side double at 71cm wide — narrow enough for most standard doorways — with 12in air-filled tyres and real suspension, and each seat holding up to 22kg. Carrycots are sold separately, adding to from-birth cost, and it's heavier to lift into a car boot than a lightweight stroller.
The Nipper Double V6 is Out n About's side-by-side answer to the double-buggy width problem: two 12in air-filled tyres either side of a swivel-lock front wheel, built into a frame that's still only 71cm wide when unfolded. That's the headline trade-off with any side-by-side design — you sacrifice a bit of width for the huge convenience of both children facing forward, at the same eye level, able to see and interact with each other and with you, and either seat can be reclined independently without disturbing the other. Tandems like the Baby Jogger City Select 2 fold narrower but stack children front-to-back, so the rear child sees a headrest rather than the world, and swapping seats or fitting a car seat further back is fiddlier.
Compared with the iCandy Peach 7 Double and Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin, the Nipper Double gives up some plushness and street-fashion styling in exchange for genuine all-terrain capability: proper pneumatic tyres and real suspension rather than town-pram castors, which matters if you're regularly on gravel paths, parks, or uneven pavements rather than smooth city pavements. It takes one or two Out n About carrycots for twins or close-together siblings from birth, and each seat holds up to 22kg, so it comfortably sees a family through from newborn to around age four — useful if your two children are a toddler and a newborn rather than twins.
Against the Ickle Bubba Venus Prime Double, the Nipper costs roughly double, but the difference shows in the wheels, suspension and long-term durability — the Venus is a lighter-duty urban stroller, while the Nipper is built for years of proper daily use including off-road. The one real limitation is that side-by-side width, even at a slim 71cm: it clears most UK front doors and hallways, but you'll want to measure your own doorways and check it against narrow shop aisles or train vestibules before buying, since it's still wider than any tandem on this list.
Is the Nipper Double V6 worth it?
- Narrow enough (71cm) for most standard doorways despite being side-by-side

What are the downsides of the Nipper Double V6?

Frequently asked questions
Is the Nipper Double V6 suitable for off-road use?+
Yes — its 12in air-filled tyres and real suspension cope well with parks, gravel paths and uneven pavements, unlike town-pram castors on rivals like the iCandy Peach 7 or Bugaboo Donkey 5 Twin.
Will it fit through a standard doorway?+
Mostly — at 71cm it clears most UK front doors and hallways, but it's still wider than any tandem double in this category, so it's worth measuring narrow doorways or train vestibules first.
Can it be used from birth?+
Yes, with one or two optional Out n About carrycots, and each seat holds up to 22kg, comfortably seeing a family through from newborn to around age four.
How does it compare to the Ickle Bubba Venus Prime Double on price?+
The Nipper costs roughly double the Venus Prime, but that difference shows in the wheels, suspension and long-term durability built for years of proper daily use including off-road.
