For expectant parents navigating the often costly world of baby essentials, securing a reliable and stylish pram and car seat combination is a top priority. Recognising this need, retailer Ickle Bubba has collaborated with renowned brand Maxi-Cosi to introduce a series of comprehensive travel system bundles. These sets are designed to offer both aesthetic appeal and practical functionality at a more accessible price point, with current discounts making them even more attractive.
Substantial Savings on Premium Travel Systems
The collection, which forms part of Ickle Bubba's ongoing winter sale, features four distinct travel systems: the Stomp Luxe, Stomp Urban, Altima, and Cosmo. Each bundle is paired with the Maxi-Cosi CabrioFix i-Size car seat and an ISOFIX base, components celebrated for their safety credentials. Originally priced between £449 and £599, these sets now benefit from reductions of up to £100, providing significant savings for savvy shoppers preparing for a new arrival.
Detailed Look at the Bundled Options
The offerings cater to different parental needs and environments. The Stomp Luxe 12 Piece Travel System is reduced to £549 from £599. Marketed for everyday use from birth, it emphasises comfort and a modern design, suitable for various terrains. The package is notably comprehensive, including the pushchair with seat and carrycot, the Maxi-Cosi car seat and base, plus numerous practical extras like car seat adapters, sunshades, a changing rucksack, and weather protection covers.
Its puncture-proof rear wheels and lockable swivel front wheels enhance manoeuvrability, while the single-frame design and zip-off fabrics aid storage. The carrycot includes a flat mattress for naps, and the hood offers UPF 50+ sun protection with a ventilation panel.
For urban dwellers, the Stomp Urban 10 Piece Travel System is now £449, down from £549. Its lightweight construction at 6.5kg makes it ideal for city navigation, public transport, and compact spaces. The bundle includes the pushchair, carrycot, and essential accessories like an apron and rain cover, alongside the car seat and ISOFIX base.
The Altima 12 Piece Travel System sees a £50 reduction to £499. It is promoted as a versatile, adaptable option suitable from birth to approximately four years old, featuring both a carrycot and a convertible seat unit with multiple recline positions.
Finally, the Cosmo 9 Piece Travel System offers a budget-friendly entry at £399, reduced from £449. It provides a lie-flat space for newborns that converts into a pushchair seat, focusing on everyday comfort and safety with soft, supportive fabrics and included accessories like a fleece-lined footmuff.
Customer Feedback and Alternative Choices
Customer reviews on Ickle Bubba's website are overwhelmingly positive, particularly for the Stomp Luxe system. One reviewer described it as an "Absolute 10/10", praising its style, reasonable price, easy installation, and high-quality build. Others highlighted its ease of steering, simple folding mechanism, and stylish appearance. A minor critique mentioned slightly difficult setup instructions, but this was overshadowed by overall satisfaction with the product's sturdiness and design.
For those considering other brands, the market offers alternatives such as the Hauck Runner 3 Olive Pushchair for £360 from Argos, which includes features like UPF sun protection and a handbrake. Boots also stocks the highly-rated My Babii 3-in-1 Travel System for £399, noted for its ability to switch between pram, pushchair, and carrycot modes.
However, Ickle Bubba's bundled deals with Maxi-Cosi present a compelling package, combining trusted safety equipment with thoughtfully designed prams and a suite of practical extras. The current price reductions offer a timely opportunity for parents-to-be to invest in a travel system that balances style, functionality, and value.
