Our experience
A pram or pushchair is one of those few vital items for a new parent. You can spend hundreds, thousands, even on the best pushchair for your baby, and rightly so! They’re your world now, and you will only want the best for them.
Safety, convenience, weight and cost are all important factors in the decision.
Before we discovered Out’ N’ About, we went to Exeter High Street and searched the shops and trialled a few in-store. Like many other first-time parents, we are naïve and honestly don’t really know what we need. It’s a confusing world, baby stuff, and it gets no easier once you start seeing the vast number of brands and products available.
The pushchair had to be lightweight and easy to use for my wife. It had to be compact enough that it could comfortably fit inside the boot of a Toyota Aygo, which we had at the time. But it also had to be suitable for parks, woodlands and comfortable with Devon’s footpaths.
We found our pushchair, described as capable of doing all the above. It came in a lovely forest green with matching accessories and bundled with a car seat. Perfect, we thought.
No less than 3-4 months after the birth of our son, we had problems. The wheels would buckle and struggle on even a loose pavement slab, let alone a tree route or muddy park track. Forget sand, loose gravel and rocks.
It ticked all the boxes except we couldn’t use it outside… Useless and a core reason why we opted to use front carriers. Particularly when you have Dartmoor on your doorstep. We consulted the brand's customer service team for support, who were reluctant to help. They continue to describe the pushchair as off-road capable, but this is where things differ. How long is a piece of string – However long you need it to be.
Our off-road versus someone else’s off-road differed, and apparently by quite some miles! Maybe our requirements didn’t exist?
Back to the drawing board it was, and instead of listening to a sales assistant in-store who, frankly, mis-sold us the original pushchair as capable of off-road use. We consulted the internet – Best All-terrain 3-wheel pushchairs.
A few names appeared several times: Out’ N’ About and Thule.
Thule, although it looked to tick the boxes, lacked something that the Out’ N’ About pushchair had. This being suspension, which was a clincher for us. Watching videos of users gliding over woodland tracks with a baby safe and sound asleep in the pushchair without a care in the world.
You wouldn’t use a mountain bike without suspension to go off-road, so why should we use a pushchair without suspension?
Then we discovered that Out’ N’ About appears to be popular, or maybe they only sell in small batches and provide by demand – Not a problem but worth bearing in mind.
It was a little confusing, and sadly, the customer service wasn’t that great either with our first experience dealing with the brand.
We placed our order in the middle of March and were given a date to receive our new Nipper V6 Plus by the end of March. Only a week to wait. This isn’t bad, given some options had a 3-4 month waiting list or were pre-order only with no known date of dispatch.
Our dispatch date came and went. So, we contacted customer service for an update.
The website date wasn’t what they were working to, and varied by some months. A few stern emails and phone calls later, and reading the Consumer Act. Our pushchair appeared. A little scorned already, we weren’t sure if we had made the right decision given the lack of support from customer service.
We persevered; however, the pushchair had to be better than what we had previously. And it was, the build quality and standard of the Nipper V6 plus is exceptional! As an apology for the confusion, they threw in the Front Rider to our order for free.
Immediately, my wife took the pushchair out for a walk. Our son was sound asleep or enjoying the walk.
From here, we used it daily, taking it cautiously around our local park and through the woodland trails past the river. Not a problem at all. Tree roots, uneven terrain, inclines, banks, sand, mud, and gravel. It was smooth. The suspension made a huge difference, not only for our son on board but also for us pushing.
Regarding the customer service. This has vastly improved since we purchased the Nipper V6 Plus. Out’ N’ About discovered a fault with the V6 pushchairs and found a fix to resolve the hinges folding up on uneven terrain. We haven’t experienced this ourselves, but other users of the pushchair have.
Out’ N’ About held their hands up and said they had let customers down and went out to make a new part that locks the pushchair when in use and prevents the pushchair hinges from loosening and attempting to collapse. This part was completely free (as it should be) and sent to everyone who had recently purchased a V6 pushchair and for future orders. It was simple to fit: two crosshead screws, screwed into place with the clip on the right arm.
Next came the ultimate test for the Nipper V6 plus pushchair. A trip onto Dartmoor.
We have a section nearby called the Ring Road. A military track that is a 10km circular. By no means a challenge underfoot when walking. But countless times we have seen poor parents with pushchairs attempting to get a mere 200 metres up the road from the car park, only to give up as the pushchairs would buckle under the gravel and uneven terrain, and the baby or child inside screaming from being thrown around.
The Nipper V6 plus took it all in its stride. Over the larger gravel sections, we pushed cautiously and a little slower to avoid waking up our son, damage to the pushchair or a blowout of the tyres midway around, but we didn't need to worry. Our son, asleep for the first 8km of the Ring Road.
As for the air-filled tyres, a small hand pump was provided with a puncture repair kit. It’s a basic pump which, for the average Joe, will be more than fine. As we were both into our cycling and had more equipment for our gravel bikes. We opted to switch this out for a better pump, filling the tyres with tyre sealant and carrying refills and extras in case of emergency.
The tyres need repumping once a month after heavy use, but that is to be expected. Currently no punctures and only a little light regreasing of the front wheel axle after heavy wet periods in Devon. Nothing out of the ordinary that you wouldn't need to do with a bike.
Something you never knew you needed!
We have grown to love the handlebar brake lever. It’s the same as on a bike. Applying pressure to the wheel with pads. It works well and helps slow down and provide better control on descents or for a break going uphill. You must keep the handle pulled to ensure the pushchair doesn't roll away, and it is not a replacement for the foot brake on the rear, which prevents the pushchair from moving completely.
The Out’ N’ About Nipper V6 Plus passed the all-terrain tests in our eyes!
It’s not the most compact of pushchairs; however, it’s bulky and doesn’t compact down as flat as our previous pushchair. It’s just about light enough for my wife to lift into the car (Hyundai Inster 02). Which does fill most of the boot, similar to our other larger car (VW T-Roc), both of which you can fit bags and carriers around, but need some smarter packing.
There is an option to semi-dismantle the Nipper V6 pushchair and remove the front axle, rear wheels and collapse it down into a flight case for flying. Perfect, but for everyday needs, or maybe call us lazy. The simple folded pushchair is bulky as the front wheel is rather prominent. But it’s a trade-off we have accepted.
Out’ N’ About states this is the first UK pushchair to conform to BS EN1888-3:2023 running standard.
So, the Nipper V6 Plus is a running pushchair. We have been jogging and running with the pushchair on our local flat cycle route (the Granite Way) and have found running very easy. It's extra weight, but the wheels and mechanics of the whole pram make it very easy to push. With the added suspension, this takes any strain of the pushing at the handlebars, and obviously anything under the wheels, so the little one can enjoy the scenery, or in many cases, fall asleep.
We have locked the front wheel to experiment but found it easier without it locked to allow more freedom of movement and turning. To date, the only time we have locked the front wheel has been for sand and fine gravel. Locking the front wheel allowed us to cut through the loose material and push through more quickly.
My wife has used the pushchair as part of the couch-to-10k training, with on-and-off walking/running segments. I have been using it as part of my overall training towards the Montane Winter Spine MRT South Challenge race. Which is especially useful when having to push 20kg plus and maintaining speed.
I even set a new personal best and ran a sub-40-minute 10 km, but speed isn’t everything. I do recommend starting small and slow, building up on a flat, paved surface and being led by your baby. If they’re not enjoying it, then don’t push through.
Compared to other, more traditional pushchairs. The Nipper V6 Plus pushchair has less storage space, or so it seems. There are more hidden pockets. Found on the main sun hood are two deep pockets, which are ideal for keys, phone, wallet, soft flask bottles, and snacks.
There is another netted draw-string pocket on the rear, but this isn’t huge, and from our experience, we wouldn’t recommend using this pocket whilst running or where you know there is especially rough terrain and loose gravel. It bounces about and is easy to kick. Not an issue for jackets or lightweight items, but we wouldn't recommend leaving bulky bottle-making kits.
There is some storage below the main frame of the pram, but this is limited because of the metal bars and locking mechanism. We tend to leave the waterproof cover and repair kit with the pump. It can be forgotten about until we need it.
We found our previous pushchair to have more overall storage, which was great for food shopping and on the go. The Nipper V6 pushchair is better for overall adventures, but be prepared to carry a rucksack or be smart with the pushchair in terms of packing. There are optional accessories available to create more storage around the handlebars.
When it comes to overall protection and function. The Nipper V6 pushchair has plenty of options to keep your baby safe and dry inside. As standard, the pushchair comes with a waterproof cover which is easy to strap on. It attaches via the handlebar with Velcro tabs and then a stretchy Velcro tab near the front wheel. We have found there is a lot less condensation forming on the inside compared to other pushchairs we have seen and used in wet weather.
When it comes to hot weather, as we have just experienced in the UK in Summer 2026. The Nipper V6 pushchair has lots of sections that unzip or unhook to allow more airflow through the pushchair.
The front sun visor can be unzipped to reveal a mesh interior. The rear of the pushchair has zippers to remove the liner to have mesh only, and the overall height of the seat can be adjusted from sitting upright to lying flat. Depending how high the seat is adjusted will determine how much additional airflow mesh is revealed.
To create more shade, there are UV covers that can be added to the front canopy and utilise the front bumper. But overall, the main hood of the V6 pushchair is fairly substantial and provides plenty of cover. The added sun visor, which pulls out, is great for lower sun levels in the morning or evening and protects the baby's face from glare.
Now, the Out’ N’ About V6 pushchair won’t be for everyone.
If you’re moving around London, for example. Get a lighter-weight and compact pushchair here.
If you’re in the Lake District, Peak District, Dartmoor, North Wales, or Scotland. Essentially, if you’re an outdoor enthusiast enjoy walking and going off-piste from the main path. Then the Out’ N’ About pushchair is for you! It is bulky and nowhere near as compact as other pushchairs. But this isn’t like other pushchairs either. It’s built for the outdoors and riding over nearly everything. Designed and engineered to make your life as parents easier and to keep your little one safe.

There are huge mental health benefits to getting outdoors and enjoying the fresh air, and the Nipper V6 pushchair for us with Dartmoor on our doorstep makes life a lot easier and enjoyable for the whole family.
The Out' N' About Nipper V6 Plus pushchair may not be as compact or suitable for the weekly food shop, and it can’t hold a basket. But I can take this pushchair into the depths of Dartmoor, and let my son enjoy the wilderness! It’s worth weighing up your needs and wants and considering what is more important.
If, like us, you need an adventure pushchair that can withstand the outdoors, then this is a no-brainer. If you’re limited on space at home, car and not all that into walking, then this probably isn’t for you.
