I have order a double nipper in Charcoal for the twins with newborn supports. Now need a buggy board for 3.2 year old ds.

Any recommendations?

Anyone got one for sale?

He is tall for his age, if that helps.

Next stop ebay?

We have always used the Kiddy Board (see Lascal website) with our Nipper double pretty sure it's the only one that fits Nipper. See Lascal websire not to be confused with a Buggy Board. If you've got the new 360 you will have to flip it over when you want to put the brake bar on, website shows you how. Or you could take the breakbar off as the 2 brakes on the sides which the bar is attatched to are just the same as they've always been. You won't be sorry you've got a Nipper they are fantastic we've just downsized to a single one.

Good decision on the nipper - I loved mine, till some b*gger stole it off my doorstep . Anyway, as a result, I have 2 of the nipper cosytoes and the shopping basket which are no good to me any more. The cosytoes are £35 new (on practicalpushchairs.co.uk) and the shopping basket is £16 (won't fit the new nipper 360 if that's the one you've ordered though).

If you're interested, I'd be happy with £30 for the lot...not sure how much it would be to post them, but could find out for you.

Sorry I haven't replied but got rushed into hospital at the weekend!!!!! All is well and I am now home it was a false alarm.

I haven't ordered the 360, just the normal one. What colour are the cosytoes please? Are they still for sale?

Hiya everybody,

I have a Nipper too, fantastic buggy...love it.

Incredibly light, I had a c-section delivery and it was such a help to push something so easy...

One of the best investments we made with our twin girls. They are now nearly 4 and won't get out of the thing!!

Just to note, you can buy an additional shopping basket attachment from the Nipper site, which is great, so you have your two pockets and somewhere to put your shopping...

Oooh, the Nipper sounds good. Is it rear facing and does it have a swivel wheel? Does it matter if not? We've been looking at the Mountain Buggy does anyone have a comparison?
Thanks,
Amy

Hi

sorry have forgotten to check this thread the last few days! The cosytoes are charcoal and are still for sale if you're interested oooggs.

There are 2 nippers, one with a swivel wheel and one without. When I got mine, only the one without was available and I have to say I really didn't miss a swivel wheel. It's so light that it's really easy to manoeuvre anyway and it's v. narrow as well. Not sure how it compares to the mountain buggy on weight/width, but I'm sure it beats it hands down on price .

Sorry been in hospital again!!!!!!! Yes I would be interested tkband3, please could you find out cost of postage for the lot.

I am getting a fixed wheel as the swivel one doesn't come with a hand brake which is more important to me with the hills down 'ere in Cornwall
