Investing in a durable set of wheels for your baby that will last until their toddler years is a smart move. After all, one of the significant expenses with children is how quickly they outgrow things.
A comprehensive travel system could save you money over time and make transporting your little one from point A to point B a breeze. This is where Ickle Bubba’s range comes into play, as it offers a selection of versatile and feature-packed travel systems.
Currently, Ickle Bubba is celebrating its birthday month sale, offering 30% off selected lines from February 25th to March 31st 2025. The highlight of the sale is the Stomp Luxe Travel System, now priced at £549, down from £649.
Before you flinch at the cost, consider what’s included: Stomp Luxe pushchair, pushchair seat unit and carrycot, Stratus i-Size car seat, ISOFIX car seat base, car seat adapters, car sunshades, changing rucksack and mat, pushchair apron, footwarmer, seat liner, rain cover, and an All-Terrain Designer Pram.
This set includes everything you need for your baby’s first outing up until their fourth birthday, and potentially even beyond. The pushchair system is adaptable to suit both your and your baby’s needs, the chic rucksack for changing essentials is as practical as it is fashionable, and the car seat system integrates seamlessly with the pram, as the Mirror reports.
It’s recommended to seek professional assistance when fitting the seat to your car to ensure safe and secure installation. Also included in the sale is the Stomp V4 Travel System with a Cirrus Car Seat (discounted from £649 to £399). This carrycot transforms into a pushchair seat, eliminating the need to move your baby between the carrycot and pushchair.
All components connect easily and securely, yet can be detached effortlessly when needed. The Altima Travel System with a Stratus Car Seat, reduced from £699 to £499, is another product on offer. This model folds away conveniently with just one hand, a feature some may say handy feature when out alone with your little one.
The Stomp Luxe Travel System is highly rated, boasting an impressive 4.5 out of 5 stars from a sizeable pool of 450 reviews. One five-star review shopper, said: “Every system we looked at was stunning but expensive,” adding that they sought style without excessive costs.
“We wanted something that looked the part but wasn’t going to break the bank. We saw this system and knew instantly it was the one we wanted. Quick delivery, finished to the highest standard, and it was reasonably priced. We’ve just built it up, and we were not disappointed.
“The installation was easy, the instructions were detailed. Absolute 10/10, would recommend to anyone.” Another contented customer shared their satisfaction and said: “The pram is easy to assemble and looks so cute.”
They also praised its user-friendly design and said: “The collapse function is easy to use and it pops right back up too.”
However, one buyer of the Stomp V4 Travel System coupled with a Cirrus Car Seat suggested some improvements. As they said: “The handle has an adjustment which makes it a bit fragile especially when one is moving the stroller through a terrain or rough roads.
“The wheels are big and good while it’s a bit wobbly (very slightly) the carry cot has a handle but I would advice people to not lift it using the handle as it pops out.”
Yet another reviewer was satisfied: “Nice smooth ride and it’s easy to fold down and put up. The frame can stand up on the handle to save some valuable space in your home. It’s not too heavy. Overall we’re very happy with it.”
For a more straightforward option, consider the Kinderkraft Compact Stroller Apino Raven Black available at Boots for £119. Alternatively, Debenhams offers the Costway Baby Stroller w/ Detachable Seat Cover for £99.95.
However, if you’re seeking a comprehensive travel system to cater to your needs during the initial years, the Ickle Bubba spring sale is bound to have a set that meets all your requirements.
