Out 'n' About Nipper V6 Review: A UK All-Terrain Pushchair Worth £525?

The Out 'n' About Nipper V6 is a sturdy UK three-wheeler for parks, towpaths and country lanes. John Lewis lists it at £525 with three air-filled 12 in tyres, suspension in the aluminium frame and a one-hand fold, and Mumsnet named it its best overall all-terrain pram. At 12.25 kg (27 lb) it is not light, and at 61 cm (24 in) wide it is broad for small shops. The carrycot and car seat adapters cost extra. It is sold in the UK, not the US.
Who is the Out 'n' About Nipper V6 for?
The Out 'n' About Nipper V6 is for UK parents with one child who spend a lot of time off smooth pavements. Think park paths, gravel, grass and muddy lanes. It is a three-wheeler with air-filled tyres, so it suits walkers more than city shoppers. John Lewis lists it at £525, which is mid-range for an all-terrain pushchair in the UK. It is sold in the UK, not in the US, so American readers would need to look at models like the Thule Urban Glide 3 or Baby Jogger Summit X3 instead. The Nipper V6 replaces the Nipper V5, and Mumsnet named it its best overall all-terrain pram. If you mostly ride buses, use lifts and push around small shops, a narrower four-wheel pushchair will be easier. If weekends mean fields and forest trails, this is the kind of pushchair UK parents pick.
How does the Nipper V6 ride and steer?
The ride is the reason to buy an Out 'n' About Nipper V6. John Lewis lists three air-filled 12 in tyres, a front wheel that swivels or locks straight, and suspension built into the aluminium frame. Air tyres soak up bumps far better than the hard plastic or foam wheels on most city pushchairs. A locked front wheel helps on rough or uneven ground, while a swivel wheel helps in town. The trade-off is width. John Lewis gives an open width of 61 cm (24 in), so tight shop aisles and some doorways will be a squeeze. Air tyres also need topping up now and then. MadeForMums, reviewing the earlier Nipper 360, praised how it handled rough terrain but noted that pneumatic tyres need a pump. John Lewis lists no running certification for the standard V6; that is what the V6 Plus adds.

How big is the Nipper V6 when folded?
John Lewis lists the Out 'n' About Nipper V6 at 12.25 kg (27 lb), and Mumsnet gives 12.2 kg, a little heavier than the Nipper V5. It has a one-hand fold, but John Lewis says it does not stand on its own once folded. Mumsnet gives the folded size as 81 x 61 x 44 cm (about 31.9 x 24 x 17.3 in) with the wheels on and the bumper bar off. John Lewis lists a smaller 81 x 51 x 33 cm (about 31.9 x 20.1 x 13 in) without saying whether the wheels are on, and the wheels do come off to pack it smaller. It suits a car with a reasonable boot and is far too large for an airline overhead locker. Lifting 27 lb into a car each day is manageable for most parents, but if you climb stairs to a flat, the weight will matter.
Is the Nipper V6 comfortable and safe?
John Lewis describes a dual-position seat on the Out 'n' About Nipper V6, upright or a cosier bucket shape, with multiple recline positions and a five-point harness. It lists the Nipper V6 from birth to about 4 years and up to 22 kg (48.5 lb). For a newborn, Out 'n' About sells a matching carrycot separately, and infant car seats fit with adapters that are also sold separately. The seat faces forward. The air tyres and frame suspension should give a softer ride than small solid wheels on bumpy ground. John Lewis lists a flip-flop-friendly brake and a two-year guarantee. It does not give the number of recline positions or the canopy rating.
How much storage does the Nipper V6 have?
The Out 'n' About Nipper V6 has an under-seat basket, but John Lewis does not list its capacity, and we could not confirm a figure from Out 'n' About. On three-wheelers, the basket sits between the rear wheels and under the seat, so access is usually from the back or sides. Plan on a changing bag and a coat rather than a big food shop. If storage is a priority, a full-size four-wheel pushchair with a large basket will hold more.

Can you run with the Nipper V6?
Not with the standard model, going by John Lewis. It lists no running certification and no handbrake for the standard Out 'n' About Nipper V6. The running version is the Nipper V6 Plus. John Lewis lists it at £625 and 13.26 kg (29.2 lb), with bigger 14 in air-filled tyres, and says it is certified to the BS EN1888-3:2023 running standard, the first buggy on the market to reach it. That is £100 more and about 1 kg heavier. If you want to jog, choose the V6 Plus or a dedicated running pushchair, and follow the maker's guidance on age and speed. For walking on rough paths, fields and trails, the standard Nipper V6, with three air-filled 12 in tyres and frame suspension, is built for exactly that. Parents who walk rather than run can save money with the standard model.
