The Avi Spin is an all-terrain stroller that has the flexibility that modern families require from the first day.

The swivel can be locked to provide additional stability on rough terrain or when running and the fully reclining seat offers an ergonomic lying flat position that's suitable from birth. The strap that is one-pull makes it easier to get in and out of the seat, while the compact folding makes it easy for storage or transport. Wheels can be removed for an even smaller fold. The brake lever is located on the right-hand side of the handlebar, which can make it difficult to operate using just one hand.

However, you'll need to buy the newborn insert separately if you intend to use your baby's buggy with an automobile seat.
The Nipper Double is at the higher end of the price range for side-byside prams. However, it feels robust and well-made and is suitable for infants and children until the age of four. It is more expensive than other models because it does not have the option of a seat that is facing the parent and isn't compatible with car seats. However, it has good maneuverability and can handle any terrain.
Assembly is fairly easy, and the manual provides clear, easy-to-follow instructions. The only issue is that the hoods are noisy and heavy, and the Velcro used to close them can wake your baby up. This is a concern, especially if you are walking in a park quietly and do not want other parents to be disturbed. The absence of a storage area under the seats was also mentioned as a disadvantage.

It does have certain disadvantages however it's not cheap and If you're seeking a product to use from newborn and beyond then you may struggle to find a cheaper deal elsewhere. It's also a bit heavy, so you may have to enlist the help of a person to lifting into your car. Another thing to consider is that there are a few small honeycomb-like exposed areas at the lower part of the seat where the vomit and spilled smoothies could be able to flow - you'll need be cautious in the event that your child is susceptible to illness.
