MadeForMums test-tested the Cybex Avi Spin for us and we had the chance to take it out with one of Australia's most accomplished middle-distance runners Genevieve Gregson who recently became mother to her daughter. We asked her what she thought about the pram and if there was anything that could be improved.

The one-pull harness simplifies in and out access and the compact fold makes it easy to store or transport. Wheels can be removed for a smaller fold. It's a pity the brake lever is on the right-hand side of handlebar as this can make it difficult to operate by hand.

The Nipper Double is towards the upper end of the price scale for side-by-side prams, however, it is sturdy and top-quality, and can be used from birth to about four years old. The absence of parent-facing seating options, and the fact that it is not compatible with car seats do put it in a higher price category than some other models, but the good manoeuvrability and ability to handle all terrains makes it a good contender.
The user's manual is clear and easy to read. The only criticisms are that the hoods can be noisy and heavy, and the Velcro used to close them can make your baby scream. This is especially a problem when you're walking in a quiet area of the park and do not want to disturb other parents. The absence of a storage area under the seats was also considered a disadvantage.

It's also quite heavy and you may need to ask for the assistance of someone when it comes to lifting the car. There are also a few tiny honeycomb-like areas that are exposed on the bottom of the seat that could become the perfect breeding ground for vomit and spilled drinks.
