MadeForMums has tested the Cybex Avi Spin on our behalf and had the opportunity to test it along with Genevieve Gregson, one of the top middle distance athletes in Australia. She is also a new mother. We asked Genevieve Gregson about what she thought about the pram, and if it could be improved.
The Avi Spin is an all-terrain stroller that has the flexibility that modern families require from the moment they are born. The front swivel wheel is unparalleled for maneuverability even in tight city corners and the tyres with air filled offer comfort during city strolls, nature walks or even runs. The swivel can be locked for additional stability on uneven terrain or when running and the fully reclining seat is designed to provide a comfortable lie-flat position that's suitable for infants from birth. The one-pull harness makes it easier to get access to in and out and the compact fold makes it easy to store and transport. The wheels are also removable for an even smaller fold! It's a pity the brake lever is located on the right-hand side of handlebar, as this could make it difficult to operate by hand.

With the Out N About Nipper V5 you can take your child on thrilling off-road excursions and jogging smooth in complete ease.

You'll have to purchase the newborn insert separately in the event that you plan to use your Nipper combination with a car seat.
The Nipper Double is towards the highest end of the scale for side-by-side prams, but it feels robust and top-quality and can be used from the age of newborn to four years old. It is more expensive than other models because it does not have an option for a parent-facing seat and is not compatible with car seats. However, it offers good maneuverability and can handle all terrains.
The user's manual is clear and easy to understand. The only criticisms I have is that they are noisy, clunky and that the Velcro used to secure them can wake up your baby. This is a problem, especially if you are walking around the park in peace and don't want other parents to be disturbed. A storage compartment was also noted as an issue.

There are a variety of other features, including smart lighting that changes color to indicate the child's state of sleep or hungry. There's also a ventilation window to keep your child cool and comfortable. There's even an extra large hood with mosquito-proofing.
It's not cheap, and you might struggle to find a better deal in case you intend to use it from the start. It's also very heavy, so you may have to get the assistance of a person to carrying it the seat into your car. Another thing to consider is that there are some small honeycomb-type exposed areas on the bottom of the seat, where spilled smoothies and vomit might be able to flow - you'll need be aware of this when your child is prone to sickness.
