I’m a bit of an adventure mum, I love being outdoors and exploring which is the reason I was keen on outnabout as a brand in the first place. My nipper v6 plus is amazing on all types of terrains but there are certain walks where a pram is impractical such as, climbing mountains/ hills with turnstiles, rocky woods etc but the trek allows you to do all kinds of walks without restriction. My little one loves it so much, he’s going through a bit of a “hates being restricted to his pram phase” but loves being up high in the trek, he’s can explore more and see everything. We go everywhere in it, he loves it so much I’ve even walked around the shops with him in it! Super easy to set up, quick to get your little one in and out and cheaper than other leading brands. I recommend the trek to everyone and will continue to do so, it’s our favourite baby purchase so far.

Brilliant for Proper Adventures With a Toddler ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We absolutely LOVE our Nipper Trek Backpack Carrier. It’s become one of those bits of kit that genuinely opens up even more adventures with a little one.
We already use our Nipper pushchair absolutely everywhere and it’s incredibly capable across rough terrain, but inevitably there are places where no pushchair can go. Steep mountain trails, narrow paths, steps, rocks, stiles and properly wild terrain — that’s where the Nipper Trek comes into its own. It takes our adventures that one step further.
Skyla is incredibly happy up there, has a brilliant view of everything going on and often happily settles in for the ride. For me, comfort is a huge factor and I’ve been really impressed with how supportive and well balanced it feels, even when carrying her for longer periods. The adjustable fit and padded straps make a massive difference, and there’s useful storage for all the inevitable toddler essentials too.
I love having both options. The Nipper pushchair gets us impressively far off the beaten track, and when the terrain gets even more extreme, the Trek means we can just keep going.
For an outdoorsy family that doesn’t want having a toddler to limit where they explore, it’s a brilliant bit of adventure kit.

We absolutely love our Nipper Double V6 pushchair, but there will always be some walks that aren’t possible with a buggy! The Trek is the answer to this for us.
Our toddler is super comfortable in it, and is very happy going on longer hikes with us in this - it’s got great storage so lots of room for snacks! While very sturdy, it also folds down flat which is great for storage and fitting in the car- we really love it!

I use this EVERY day and my baby LOVES it!! Total game changer!! I’ve tried multiple others but nothing compares. The sunshade and the rain cover are spot on, the carrier is super soft and comfy for my little one (now 9months old). It is super sturdy and comfy to wear as well, plus it also folds down totally flat so super easy to travel with. I have nothing bad to say about it. Also a lot of storage space for water, snacks and more. I love using this and everyday we go for at least 2 walks with it!

My first impressions on using this carrier was that it was lighter than my others, comfortable on the shoulders too. I mainly used it for duel carrying and solo walks with my youngest. I would recommend to others

We use ours all the time, our 15 month old loves it! Secure, great rain cover & allows her to take in all the views on our hikes.
