It is a great choice for parents who are looking for an all-terrain pushchair that can effortlessly tackle difficult terrain and strenuous walks without hassle.

The only downsides to this model is that it doesn’t come with reclined seats and the chassis is quite wide, which can make it difficult to pass through some doors. In any case, the Nipper V5 is a brilliant all-terrain pushchair for any active family and offers an impressive level of comfort at a reasonable price. The only thing that could be improved is the introduction of an adjustable front wheel that can either swivel or be fixed for daily use. This would be a great addition to the buggy and help it to compete with the most comfortable all-terrain pushchairs.
