A 2 in 1 Carrycot and Pushchair Review

A 2-in-1 pushchair and carrycot that combines a baby seat and carrycot into one single unit. You can easily change between the two as your child grows.

It is generally accepted that babies should remain in a carrycot until they start rolling over, usually at around six months.

The Ickle Bubba Eclipse

Since its introduction in 2013, the British brand Ickle Bubba has dominated the UK. They offer fabulous prams and travel systems packed with features at affordable costs. They also provide a generous warranty of four years that is much longer than the standard time offered by other pram makers!

The Eclipse is their most popular model and it's not hard to see why. It's a two-in-one pram and pushchair suitable from birth to 22kg (approx. 4 years). It has 6 modes of use and comes with a Bubba rear Board for a standing child weighing up to 20kg.

A sleek chrome chassis with front and rear suspension makes this a great pram for long-distance trips with the 360-degree lockable swivel wheels make it easy to maneuver on city streets. The seat can recline and be set either parent-facing or world-facing. There's also a shopping basket and a foot muff.

This pram includes a raincover colour co-ordinating changing bag and mat, carrycot apron and mattress, and extendable hood that helps keep your little one protected from the elements. The pram also comes with an easy leatherette handlebar and bumper bars. The Eclipse is also manufactured in Britain, just like all Icklebubba products!

Ickle Bubba is renowned for its great prices as well as their excellent customer service and quick delivery. Their website is easy to navigate, and the staff are extremely helpful, so you know you're in good hands.


The Eclipse can be purchased in a bundle comprising either the Group 0+ Galaxy or the top of the line i-size Mercury. The pushchair and car seats are also available as a bundle. Both versions include a matching mat, changing bag and footmuff and a raincover and footmuff. Ickle Bubba offers a full refund if you are not satisfied with the purchase. Isn't that fantastic?

The carrycot

The carrycot provides the safety, comfort and secure environment for infants. It helps infants to develop in a healthy manner, as lying flat is essential for spinal and lung development, and it's much safer than a baby lying upright in the pram seat or Moses basket.

Carrycots can be carried anywhere, so you aren't obligated to be a nuisance to your baby when they are sleeping. This is a great option if you are running an run or do not have a babysitter, or just want to enjoy some fresh air and a pleasant walk.

A quality carrycot should also come with handles that can be connected or one handle to make moving more convenient. This is particularly useful if you have different family members using the pushchair, as it allows everyone to operate the stroller with ease.

A quality footmuff should have a soft and comfortable liner, and should be made of materials that are water-resistant to keep your baby warm and dry. The most comfortable footmuffs are compatible with your carrycot and come with a 5-point safety harness.

The seat unit

The seat is part of a 2-in-1 system that converts a carrycot into a pushchair once your baby can sit up. It usually features a recline function and two different 'facing directions': parent facing (or rear-facing) or world-facing (or forward-facing). It should be spacious, comfy for your child, and include an umbrella, sunshade, cover and be easy to get off and put on the pushchair frame.

You can purchase a pushchair and pushchair on their own or as a complete bundle. Bundles can help you save time and money as you can begin with a carrycot and switch it to the pushchair seat when your baby is six months old or is able to sit up without assistance. The majority of travel systems come with car seat adaptors that allow you to connect the infant car seat and the chassis of the pushchair. This allows you to easily transfer your sleeping baby from the car to the pushchair.

When you are shopping for a carrycot to your baby, select one that is comfortable and includes breath-ability fabrics. This will help keep them cool and comfortable. Some models are designed with ventilation, sun protection and an upholstered mattress, which means your baby can sleep soundly.

If you plan to use your carrycot right from birth, make sure it permits the use of a parent facing position as this will enable you to keep an eye on your child. You'll be able to observe them in a short time, comfort and reassure them during these early months. Many parents discover that their child is able to connect with them when they can observe them.

When your baby is ready to make the transition from their carrycot into the pushchair seat, they'll need a comfortable, supportive seat with plenty of padding and excellent back support, along with a five-point harness. It's also important to check whether the seat has a reversible liner for the seat or footmuff which is super-soft, showerproof and can be used during colder weather.

Look for a pushchair with large baskets that are accessible from the seat and has multiple pockets for shopping. Consider the option of a changing bag to help you stay well-organized on your trips. You can buy an coordinating changing bag from many brands or pick a tote or backpack that fits neatly onto the stroller frame.

The footmuff

A footmuff is a great way to keep your baby warm during cold winter days. The soft fabric is wrapped around their lower body to keep them warm and warm, and the convenient openings to straps ensure that they can be secured in their stroller or car seat. Many brands offer a variety of footmuffs available, with some designed specifically for strollers or car seats that are ideal for keeping your baby warm and cozy 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 when it's cold or rainy.

It can also be used with the majority of pushchairs, making it a practical and easy 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. This makes it a convenient option for infants who don't want to be covered up while out and about. It also helps save space in the nursery because you'll only need one product that can be used from birth until toddlerhood. And if you want to make sure you're organized there's a pacifier pocket included so you can find your baby's favourite.
