The Icklebubba Eclipse
Since its debut in 2013 the British brand Ickle Bubba has dominated the UK. They have prams that come with a variety of features for a reasonable price. They also offer an impressive warranty of 4 years that is well over and beyond the standard warranty that other manufacturers of prams offer!
The Eclipse is their most popular model and it's not hard to see why. It's a 2 in 1 pram and pushchair suitable from birth to 22kg (approx. 4 years). It has 6 modes of operation and comes with a Bubba Board in the rear for children who can stand on their own up to 20kg.
This stroller is ideal for long trips, thanks to its elegant chrome chassis and front and rear suspension. The 360-degree locking wheels make it easy on narrow city streets. The seat unit swivels and provides parent or world-facing options as well as reclines for the ultimate comfort. There's also a shopping basket and a foot muff.
This 2 in 1 pram pushchair 2 in 1 includes a raincover color-coordinated changing bag, mat, carrycot apron, mattress, as well as an extendable hood, which helps to keep your baby safe from the elements. There's also a bumper bar and soft tan leatherette handlebar. Like all Ickle Bubba products the Eclipse is manufactured in Britain!
Ickle Bubba is known for its great prices however, they are also known for their outstanding customer service and speedy delivery. The website is simple to navigate and the staff is extremely helpful. You can be assured that you're in good hands.
The Eclipse is available as an all-in-one package that includes the top of the range i-size Mercury car seat or the Group 0+ Galaxy car seat, with Isofix base. The pushchair and car seats are also available as a bundle. Both models come with an appropriate changing bag, mat, and footmuff and a raincover and footmuff. Ickle Bubba provides a full refund if you aren't happy with your purchase. What a bargain!
The carrycot
The carrycot is a great place for babies to sleep, offering them an environment that is safe and comfortable. It assists infants in developing in a healthy way as lying flat is essential for the development of the lungs and spine, and it's much safer than a child sleeping upright in the pram seat or Moses basket.
Carrycots can also be carried around which means you can take your child out and about without disrupting their rest. This is great for those who need to run an errand or don't want to pay babysitters. This is why a carrycot can be a great alternative to having to hire a babysitter. It can also save your time and money.
When selecting a carrycot pick one with a sturdy frame that is designed for easy mobility and that is able to fold easily. It should also be light so that it can be easily moved and stored and feature an umbrella that protects from the sun. To ensure the safety of your baby, you should also choose a carrycot made of high-quality fabrics that have flame retardant fillings.
A good quality carrycot will have a soft mattress that is filled with polyurethane for maximum comfort and support. There are also models that can be adjusted to base levels to accommodate your growing baby and offer the best 2 in 1 prams comfort.
A quality carrycot should also have handles that can be linked or single to make moving easier. This is especially useful in the case of multiple family members who use the Stroller Rocker 2 In 1.
Finally, you should look for a carrycot with a footmuff - this is a must-have item for every parent, since it provides your child with warmth and protection from the elements. A quality footmuff should have a soft and comfortable liner, and must be made of fabrics that are waterproof to keep your baby dry and warm. The most comfortable footmuffs are compatible with your carrycot, and feature five points of safety harness.
The seat unit
The seat unit is the component of a 2-in-1 travel system that converts from a carrycot to a pushchair when your baby is ready to sit. It usually has a recline feature and two “facing directions” either facing the parent or back-facing or world facing. It should be spacious, comfortable for your child, and include an umbrella, sunshade, cover and be easy to put on and off the frame of the pushchair.
You can buy an individual pushchair and carrycot or as a bundle. Bundles let you save money and time because you can begin with a carrycot and switch it to a pushchair seat unit once your baby is six months old or is able to sit up without assistance. Most travel systems come with adaptors for car seat and pram 2 in 1 seats that allow you to connect your infant car seat to the pushchair chassis. This lets you easily transfer your sleeping baby from the car to the pushchair.
When purchasing a carrycot for your baby, select a design that is comfortable and includes air-tight fabrics. This will keep them cool and comfortable. Some models come with ventilation, sun protection and a soft mattress, so your baby will be able to sleep peacefully.
If you plan to use your carrycot from birth, select a model that allows for a face-to-face with the parent as this will enable you to monitor your child. You'll be able to check on them quickly, comfort and reassure them during these early months. Many parents have found that it helps to bond when their child can observe them.
When your baby is ready to transition from their carrycot to a pushchair seat, they'll need an incredibly comfortable and supportive seat with plenty of padding, good back support, and a five-point safety harness. It's also important to determine whether the pushchair comes with an reversible seat liner, or a footmuff that is incredibly soft and waterproof, and is able to be attached in the colder months.
Search for a pushchair that has a large basket that is easy to reach from the main seat. It should also come with several pockets to store your purchases. It's also an excellent idea to think about an extra bag for changing which can help you remain organized on your trips. You can purchase an appropriate changing bag from most brands or pick bags or a backpack that can be easily fitted onto the stroller frame.
The footmuff
A footmuff can keep your baby warm during cold winter days. The footmuff wraps around lower body of your child to keep it warm and toasty. It also has convenient strap openings so that you can secure it to your vehicle seat or stroller. Some footmuffs are designed to fit certain car seats or strollers. This is perfect for keeping your baby warm without worrying about them overheating.
Parents often make use of footmuffs in place of blankets or additional layers to keep their children warm. This is particularly useful in the event of wind or rain. The Najell Universal Footmuff is a great choice for this it has a soft padding that keeps your child warm and comfortable. Plus, it is machine washable so you can easily keep it clean. It can be used with all pushchairs and is a useful accessory.
The Hauck Soft 2in1 pushchair Carrycot can also be used as a footmuff, by removing the handles as well as the head part and lateral parts, which makes it a great choice for infants who don't want being covered while out and out and about. This also saves on space in the nursery, as you only have one item that can be used from birth to toddlerhood. If you'd like to be extra organised there's a pacifier pocket included to ensure that you are able to find your baby's favourite.
The Ickle Bubba Eclipse 2-in-1 carrycot and stroller will ensure that your child is safe, secure, and comfortable at all times, whether you're walking in the park or running to the grocery store in the city. The spacious carrycot offers an inviting environment and the sturdy chassis and adjustable canopies protect you from the elements so you can enjoy outdoor adventures with confidence. When it's time to go inside, the Eclipse can be folded down quickly and easily into a light and compact box that fits easily into the boot of your vehicle.
