According to the website, this package is engineered for daily use from newborn stage, prioritising comfort, functionality and a sleek contemporary aesthetic.

It’s important to highlight that the pushchair canopy provides UPF 50+ sun protection and features a ventilation panel for improved air circulation, whilst the matching accessories ensure babies remain comfortable. There’s also the Stomp Urban 10 Piece Travel System with Maxi-Cosi Cabriofix I-Size Car Seat and Isofix Base available for £449, reduced from £549.
This particular model is tailored for urban living, according to the manufacturer, thanks to its lightweight construction which makes it a sensible choice for crowded pavements, public transport and confined areas, whilst remaining suitable from birth. The package comprises the Stomp Urban pushchair and carrycot, alongside daily necessities including an apron, footwarmer, seat liner, rain cover and car seat adapters.
It additionally includes the Maxi-Cosi CabrioFix i-Size car seat and ISOFIX base. Weighing just 6.5kg including the chassis and wheels, the Stomp Urban is effortless to navigate and straightforward to collapse for storage or travel.
Thirdly is the Altima 12 Piece Travel System with Maxi-Cosi Cabriofix I-Size Car Seat and Isofix Base for £499, reduced from £549. This model is designed for parents seeking something practical, adaptable and straightforward to manage on a daily basis. The Altima includes both a carrycot and a convertible seat unit, making it suitable from birth up to approximately four years.
The carrycot features a soft mattress, quilted apron and privacy panel, and can be folded away neatly for storage when not needed. The seat unit offers multiple recline and leg rest positions, along with a padded seat liner and footwarmer to keep little ones comfortable as they develop.
Lastly, on offer is the Cosmo 9 Piece Travel System with Maxi-Cosi Cabriofix I-Size Car Seat and Isofix Base for £399, reduced from £449. This model is a sensible option for parents wanting something that feels thoughtful and well-crafted without a steeper price tag. It’s suitable from birth and focuses on everyday comfort, safety and ease of use.
The Cosmo pram provides a lie-flat space for newborns and transforms into a pushchair seat as the child grows, accommodating them up to around four years. The fabrics are described as feeling soft and supportive, with a fleece-lined footmuff and an apron with a privacy panel included.
For those seeking alternatives, the Hauck Runner 3 Olive Pushchair is available for £360 at Argos. This model boasts numerous features, including UPF 50+ sun protection, speed control via a handbrake and hand strap, plus convenient folding capabilities.
Another contender is the My Babii 3-in-1 Travel System, priced at £399 from Boots. This elegant choice has garnered impressive reviews on the Boots website – and justifiably so. It seamlessly transforms between pram, pushchair and carry cot modes, whilst offering ‘multi-position reclining seat’ configurations for infants and toddlers. It’s also deemed suitable from birth right up to 22kg.
Returning to Ickle Bubba, though, its Stomp Luxe 12 Piece Travel System has earned glowing praise on the website, with one reviewer enthusing: “We are expecting our first baby in March 2025, and we have been on the hunt for the perfect travel system. Every system we looked at was stunning but expensive. 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! Now we can’t wait to get our little one in it for a stroll!”
Another user shared: “We bought this in July and it was delivered quickly. Having now had our baby, we have had the chance to use the pushchair system – and so far has been great quality as the pram and also when we put our car seat on it. Easy to steer and easy to fold and put in the boot of the car. We liked the options in terms of colours and of the different metal finishes.”
However, one reviewer had a minor gripe, noting: “Great quality product. Instructions on how to set it up are a little bit difficult, but other than that, it’s a really nice buggy.”
Despite this, the vast majority appeared delighted with their purchase. Another pleased customer remarked: “Very happy with our 9 piece set. We haven’t used it yet, but it looks very sturdy and stylish, perfect for when we take long spring walks with bubba.”
And someone else said: “Perfect pram which comes with everything you’ll need, it’s lightweight and folds away neatly. Stunning colour choices, looks much more expensive than it is, great value for money! Plenty of room in the under basket and everything seems to be great quality, would definitely recommend!”
