    I've used both and on level ground there is little to separate them, both really easy to push. Off-road, however, the two wheels on the front of the mountain buggy make it far more stable, so if like us you go off-road quite a bit the mountain buggy might be better. It is also narrower by about 8cm I beleive. The downside is that it's significantly more expensive than the nipper.

    I opted for the full mountain buggy because we use it off road in some difficult terrain at weekends mostly.
    Apologies for the random full stops. Phone buttons too small, thumbs too big.

    I have the duet as its the only one to fit through my front door.
    Its not as light and easy to push as the nipper -doesn't really compare.

    if it needs to fold small for a car boot - the nipper is better.

    But if you've got small doors / hall etc then theres only the duet which I narrower than the nipper - and the only thing that fits in my house! I decided to go for it as with new baby twins I needed something which I could bring into house if they were asleep rather than attempting to transfer them.

    I love my Nipper and like others have said I also do use it for just 1 child occasionally as I find it so easy to push / steer. Mine will fit through my front door but I have quite a wide older wooden front door, it wouldn't fit through my UPVC front door in my old house, but it doesn't fit through my internal doors.
