    Default Omg a huge purchase

    Just ordered a brand new double nipper from tesco direct bargain price I think £274.99 considering price they going for on eBay.
    Been watching and bidding on loads but I'm running out of time so just took the plunge...it's a lot of money but it's an investment as have 2 littlies in 11days time as a new one joins my team

    Please tell me I've done the right thing. It was actually hubby's idea As he fed up of me moaning about not having a double when new littlie starts

    I am going to 2 jack n Jill markets at weekend to see if I can pick up 1 as a better used bargain and if I can I will send new one back but if I don't I will enjoy my bran new limited edition raspberry one knowing it's history and that it will keep its value more or less if I decide to sell




    O....do I just put the full amount in my accounts as expenses or do I do the other thing can't remember what's called

    I got my new double nipper from their own website and paid £185 for it - supposed to be factory seconds but absolutely nothing wrong with it

    You will not regret it. Yes they are expensive but so worth it. Best double I've ever had (and I've had a few ). I'm now looking for a new single as I don't need my double at the moment but will have a little 12mth old starting next month. I will probably get a Nipper single.

    Thats a shame. I agree with the others, its a dream to push, much better than my Phil &Teds. Only problem Ive found is the seats are quite laid back so slightly older children need propping up if they are not ready for a sleep.

    I want to get the single soon - once I can justify the cost!

    I have heard this about the seats my Quinny buzz is bit like that when facing towards me so used to it. The v2 nippers seats are much improved and more upright!

    I got the raspberry one from. Tesco with the double up vouchers so £ 135 worth of vouchers and paid £4 myself. Well worth it and as you say will be able to sell in on via e bay when no longer needed.
    It's fab to push easier then phil and ted and little ones sleep beautifully in it but I can't get used to the width so alternate between the two depending what I'm doing (was supposed to sell p&t to pay for nipper)

    i bought mine 200 second hand and i would do it all over again!!!!

    i love it.

    just bought new tyres after 18months but it's already 4yrs old and it's a pleasure to push.

    it doesn't fit through my door ( 4mm too large!!) BUT i put handle on my hip, unclip tthe wheel, get indoor and clip wheel back on!! seriously it's really easy to do even with kids asleep in buggy!!

    in my Zafira i have to remove all wheels to fit it in with all seats up it takes seconds!!

    my only down side i think it's the seats are a bit too lay back and some children try to sit straighter when awake and to be picky the rain cover is a bit tight

    but that's it best buggy by far and i'm oging to buy a single....because i want to LOL
