Our tester found the auto-lock a little difficult to understand, and also because the handlebar doesn't lock into the position you push it into to the side, it struck her leg when she used it. She also felt that the handlebar was a bit on the short side particularly with a large changing bag hanging off of it.

It's compatible with two carry cots (available separately), features multiple recline positions as well as a UV 50+ canopy. You can even add an additional bassinet to one or both seats and transform it into a travel system.
The four rubber composite tires are great for pavements and urban terrain. However, they were not designed for off-roading. They had trouble with gravel and long grass and there was not enough clearance between the wheel bracket and the wheel, so mud stuck easily. That being said our testers still enjoyed riding this buggy, and it did get up to some beautiful muddy hills.

Our testers discovered that the Nipper Double is incredibly easy to navigate, even on bumpy terrain or when turning in an area with a lot of traffic. The possibility that the seats could be reclined independently was also an enormous hit.
They also appreciated that the hoods were able to be moved back and forward, which made them easier to adjust to the sun or for wind protection. They did not offer the same coverage as Baby Jogger City Mini Hoods. It's probably worth packing an additional rain cover in the case.

The absence of parent-facing seating and the inability to use car seat on this buggy were both noted as a problem by our testers. They would have also liked to see a larger storage space to store shopping items and other accessories.
