The British brand Ickle Bubba is a brand that has been taken by the UK by storm since their introduction in 2013. They offer prams with lots of features at a low cost.

The carrycot
The carrycot offers a safe, comfortable and secure space for newborns. It helps infants to develop in a healthy way since lying flat is vital for lung and spinal development, and it's much safer than a baby sleeping upright in a pram seat or Moses basket.
Carrycots can also be carried around which means you can take your child out and about without disrupting their sleep. This is a great option if you have to complete an errand or don't have a babysitter, or simply want fresh air and a pleasant walk. A carrycot is an excellent way to save money and time by not having to employ a Nanny.
When choosing a carrycot, select one that has a sturdy frame designed for easy mobility and that is able to fold easily. It should also be light to ensure it can be easily transported and stored, and have an umbrella that protects from the sun. To ensure your baby's safety it is recommended to choose an infant carrier made of top-quality fabrics that contain flame-resistant fillings.
A quality carrycot will have a comfortable mattress that is filled with polyurethane to provide maximum comfort and support. You can find designs with adjustable base levels that can allow for the growth of your baby and provide the best comfort.
A quality carrycot should also have handles that can be linked or single to make maneuvering easier. This is especially useful when there are several family members who use the stroller.
Lastly, look for an infant carrier that comes with an insulated footmuff. This is an essential item for any parent, as it provides your child with warmth and protection from the elements. A high-quality footmuff should be padded with a soft and comfortable lining, and be made of waterproof fabrics to keep your baby warm. The best footmuffs are compatible with your carrycot, and have five points of safety harness.
The seat unit
The seat unit is part of a
2 in 1 pushchairs-in-1 travel system that transforms from a carrycot to a pushchair when your baby is ready to sit. It typically has recline capabilities and two different 'facing directions': parent facing (or rear-facing) or world-facing (or forward-facing). It should be comfortable for your child and spacious. It should also come with a sunshade and a hood.
You can purchase a carrycot and pushchair either separately or as a complete bundle. Bundles save you time and money as they allow you to start with the carrycot, then switch it to the pushchair seat once your baby is around six months old, or is able to sit up on their own. Most travel systems also come with car seat adaptors enabling you to connect your infant car seat to the chassis of your pushchair and ensure that your baby can easily be moved from the
car seat pushchair 2 in 1 to the pushchair and back again.
When you are shopping for a carrycot, look for a comfortable design with breathable materials that will keep your baby cool and comfortable. Some models come with ventilation, sun protection and a soft mattress, so your baby can sleep peacefully.
Choose a crib that lets you face your child. This will allow you to monitor and soothe your baby. You'll be able observe them in a short time and also comfort them in the early years. Many parents discover that their child can also be a good friend when they're able to observe them.
When your baby is ready to move from their carrycot to a pushchair seat, they'll need a supportive and comfortable seat with plenty of padding, back support, and a five-point safety harness. It's also important to check whether the seat has a reversible seat liner or footmuff, which is extremely soft and waterproof, and is able to be used during colder weather.
Look for a pushchair with a spacious basket that's easy to access from the seat and comes with multiple pockets to store your shopping. It's also an excellent idea to think about an extra bag for changing which will help you to remain organized on your trips. Most brands offer matching changing bags, or you can choose a tote bag or backpack that fits neatly on the stroller frame.
The footmuff
A footmuff will keep your baby warm on cold days. The footmuff wraps around lower body of your baby to keep it warm and cozy. It also comes with convenient strap openings so that you can still secure the baby in their car seat or stroller. The majority of brands have a selection of footmuffs, including some specifically designed to fit strollers or car seats that are ideal to keep your baby warm and cozy without having to worry about them overheating.
Many parents choose to use a footmuff in place of layers or blankets to avoid overheating their child, and this is especially useful in the rain or on windy days. Najell Universal Footmuff has a super-plush cushioning that keeps your baby warm and cozy. 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 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 babies who do not like to be covered up while out and about. This also frees up space in the nursery, since you'll only have one product that can be used from birth to toddlerhood. If you want to be even more organised you can also put an infant pacifier in your pocket so you'll always know what your baby's preferences are.
