With 4 EVA wheels and suspension on both the front and rear the Little Nipper Double really is a dream to push. Complete with all the popular features of the Nipper and suitable to take 2 children of different ages, with the added option of attaching either 1 or 2 carrycots. The Little Nipper Double is the ideal solution for making light work of any journey.”

Would you recommend the Little Nipper Double to other mums?

Yes I would definitely recommend this Little Nipper Double pram. For me it folded really easily, without too much effort, I really liked the design, I liked that hood comes far forward keeping the sun from children’s eyes. The children looked really comfortable in this pram. The basket underneath was a good usable size. However, it would not fit in my car with the seats all up.

How did this product make your life easier?

I like this pram as I find it a lot narrower than other side by side prams that I have used, it is not much wider that the one in front of other prams which is much better when out and about and also means both children can see whats going on and where we are going, they can take in the surrounding area, instead of one poking their head from back of one in front of others.

What changes would you make to this product?

One thing that would make it so much better for me was if it was just slightly smaller when its folded, I need a pram I can fit in my car, when I’ve got all my children so have all my seats up (I have a Zafira) a seven seater with a very narrow boot space when used to full capacity. Otherwise this pram is just perfect.

Would you recommend the Little Nipper Double to other mums?

Wow. Great value for money, excellent quality, perfect design and so easy to use for a first-time side-by-side pushchair user. Absolutely perfect for a 2 year old toddler and 6 month sleeping (mostly) baby. Unfortunately, baby vomited on the first waking sight of his sister adjacent to him however, the covers were easy to wipe and our journey continued without fuss. In addition, the reclining seat appears to be quite comfortable for baby.

How did this product make your life easier?

While I often have to suffer a struggle putting a 2 year old toddler into a pushchair when she is adamant that she can walk 500 miles - the offer of a mutual companionship on a equal seating arrangement with a sibling has relieved some of this pressure and she will often climb into her seat without asking.

I think the Little Nipper Double is an absolute gem of a tandem product with a very good price tag, really easy and quick to fold and store in the hallway, very light considering its girth and surprisingly easy to steer. It's quick to clean up baby mishaps and the as it doesn't appear to leave residue, I am more confident in it being hygienic.

What changes would you make to this product?

If I could change one thing it has to be storage. The small basket underneath is very much less than I would expect from a pushchair which has almost twice the girth of a standard unit. In addition to this - add pockets. The developer did a great job but storage is just as important as maneuverability, transportability etc.

Would you recommend the Little Nipper Double to other mums?

I really liked this pram, it's nice and compact, folds in to one so is easier to put up and down, both seats recline, it's easy to push, it is reasonably priced and was comfy for older/taller children. It is also suitable from birth which means it could be the only pram you ever need to buy. The hoods come quite far over so can properly shade the children and seats.

How did this product make your life easier?

Because this pram folds in one it was so much quicker to put up and put down and get in to the car than all the other prams, all the other had multiple seats and fittings. I did have to take a wheel off to fit in my boot which surprised me as it didn't seem that big. It was also easy to push, my mum found it easier that our current pram which we usually use as a single so would only have the weight of one child and this one had both children in.

Would you choose this product to win?

I think it was really good value for money and you got a good quality pram that was easy to use. I like that both seats can be reclined fully and I liked how far the hoods came over. Also looking online you can get carrycots to fit in to it so it is suitable from birth, my children are a bit old for these now. This makes the life span of the pram long and possibly the only pram you may need to buy.

What changes would you make to this product?

The only thing that would have put me off buying this pram is that you couldn't fit a car seat on and so you might have to wake a sleeping baby but once the child or children are passed that age it would be the best pram in my opinion. No one pram can have everything and I imagine making it big enough for a car seat may spoil some other features.

Would you recommend this to other mums?

I really enjoyed the Little Nipper Double, its name is perfect, it was quite compact for what it was and it certainly nips around. Pushing this pushchair was no problem at all, it was able to turn the tightest corners and even turn around on the spot with very little effort. It folded and unfolded easy and as it’s in one piece I didn't have to worry about losing the adapters or messing around with seats.

How did this product make your life easier?

The Little Nipper Double didn't stop me doing any of my usual tasks. I could get it on and off the bus quite easily. We took the Little Nipper Double to the park and I was quite surprised how easily it was to push on the grass and on the gravel. When my granddaughter fell asleep I was able to lay her seat completely flat which I liked as it was more comfortable for her.

Would you choose this product to win?

Yes, overall it’s everything I look for in a double pushchair, it was very easy to get around with it, the basket was adequate for carrying a bit of shopping. I liked the big hoods and that they were separate, so I could give the baby a lot of shade while she napped but the toddler could still have hers less shaded giving her more of a view.

What changes would you make to this product?

I would have liked if the handle bar could be adjusted to the other side so that it could be rear and forward facing. I like having the option of interacting with them when there isn't much to see or when they are upset and need comforting. I can imagine it would also be nicer for twin babies as the mum could face them and keep an eye on them.

Tested by mum Katie Myers for the M&B Awards 2017:

Would you recommend the Little Nipper Double to other mums?

I would definitely recommend this pram. It is extremely narrow considering it is a double side by side and fits through most doorways. It is very easy to fold and folds very compact and so fits in the car with no issues. It is built well and feels very sturdy. The seats are easy to wipe down if needed and the hoods come quite far over the seats to block sunlight.

How did this product make your life easier?

I think this Little Nipper Double makes my life easier as it fits through most doorways and that is not common for side by side prams. This allows both children to forward face without one needing to be behind the other. It's so easy to fold too, and will fit in almost any boot without the need to remove wheels etc.

Would you choose this product to win?

It is very good value for money and will last until both children are old enough to not need a pram anymore. Some of the other prams I've tested will only last until maybe 2 years old and will then become very difficult to push and the seat unit will be too small (I have twins) but this is not the case with this pram.

What changes would you make to this product?

I would change the design of this pram slightly if I could. The hoods click very loud when you move them forwards or back. Also the pram does not appear to stand up on its own when folded, it ends up resting against the wall and it also rests on the handle which is not very sturdy and could be damaged easily.
