That is incredibly cheap for a nipper 360. Are you sure its the one with the swivel wheel. The older version has a fixed wheel and a brake on the handlebar.
Covers on ebay around £23

Its narrower than the hauck one , much much lighter - easy to fold - and the only side by side to fit in the boot of a new shape corolla.
tell him you will buy it , try it out , and if hes still not happy with it you can sell it for more than you paid!

I have a Lascal buggy board on mine. It's what I think they call a compromised fit as there isn't much room between the handlebar and hood bit for the childs head to poke through but it did OK for my 3yr old DD when she needed to use it. (now she just hitches a lift on the front footrest when she's feeling lazy)

At that price you can't go wrong, it is the best double I've had and I've tried quite a few (my OH despairs of me constantly buying and then selling pushchairs :blush: )

You HAVE to buy it! It is the best thing I have bought for childminding, pushing about an old umbrella double was exhausting - the nipper is a dream to push, even with three toddlers in/on it!
It fits through all normal doorways, folds fairly flat and is light to lift into the car too.
Mine didn't have a rain cover, I bought a new one on ebay (bestbuys4baby I think) for about £20.

It's great but there is only one drawback!

It doesn't go through my favourite charity shop door:panic:

I love our charity shops and the one that is really cheap I can't get in so will have to sneak off at the weekend:thumbsup:

The raincover that came with my Nipper is torn. IMO it's a bad design as it has airholes in the sides next to the seats. These airholes are just the right size for inquisitive little fingers. So of course the fingers go in there and make the holes bigger, and now the holes are huge. Why they think the holes are needed is hard to guess- it's not as though the cover is airtight or anywhere close to it. TBH it was a pain from the start as it was too small to pull over the foorest properly and just popped up all the time.

So can I ask if anyonne knows of a suitable replacement cover, especially one which is a more generous size?

Many thanks.
