A
2 in 1 Carrycot and Pushchair Review
A 2 in 1 pushchair and carrycot that combines the baby seat and carrycot in one single unit. It is easy to change between the two as your child grows.
It is generally accepted that babies should be placed in a carrycot up until they begin to roll over, which usually occurs at the age of six months.
The Icklebubba Eclipse
Since its introduction in 2013 the British brand Ickle Bubba has dominated the UK. They offer prams with plenty of features for a reasonable price. Plus, they offer a long-lasting warranty of four years that is far over the standard length offered by other pram manufacturers!
The Eclipse is their most loved model and it's difficult to see why. It's a
2 in 1 buggy in 1 pram and pushchair suitable from birth to 22kg (approx. 4 years). It offers 6 modes of use and comes with a Bubba rear Board for a standing child who weighs up to 20kg.
This pram is ideal for long-distance trips due to its sleek chrome chassis and suspensions on the front and rear. The 360-degree locking wheels make it easy to maneuver on narrow city streets. The seat is swivelable and gives parents or world-facing options as well as reclines for the ultimate comfort. There's also a basket for shopping and foot muff.
This
2 in 1 prams in 1 stroller includes a raincover as well as a colour-coordinated changing bag and mat. It also includes an apron for the carrycot, mattress and a mattress. The hood can be extended to protect your child from the elements. The pram also comes with a soft leatherette handlebar and bumper bars. The Eclipse is also manufactured in Britain as are all Icklebubba products!
Ickle Bubba is known for its affordable prices as well as their excellent customer service and fast delivery. Their website is enjoyable to browse through, and their staff are extremely helpful, so you can be sure you're in good hands.
The Eclipse can be purchased in a bundle, which includes either the Group 0+ Galaxy or the top-of-the-line i-size Mercury. There's also a pushchair and car seat bundle, and both versions come with a footmuff, raincover as well as a matching mat and changing bag. And, as always, if you're not happy with your purchase, Ickle Bubba will give you an entire refund. Isn't that awesome?
The carrycot
The carrycot is the ideal spot for infants to sleep, providing a safe and comfortable environment. It's a secure and comfortable space for babies to rest. It is essential to lie flat for lung and spinal development.
Carrycots can also be carried around, meaning you can take your child out and about without disrupting their sleep. This is great for those who need to go on an errand or don't want to hire a babysitter. For this reason, carrying a carrycot is a great alternative to hiring a babysitter. It can also save your time and money.
When choosing a carrycot, select one that has a sturdy frame designed for mobility and is able to fold easily. It should be lightweight so that it can be easily moved and stored away and also come with a canopy that protects your infant from the sun. Additionally, it's crucial to select a carrycot made of high-quality fabrics and fillings that are flame retardant to ensure your infant's safety.
A quality carrycot should have a comfortable mattress that is typically filled with polyurethane foam for maximum support and comfort. You can also find designs that offer adjustable base levels to accommodate your growing baby and offer the best comfort.
A quality carrycot should also come with handles that can be connected or single to make maneuvering easier. This is especially helpful when you have multiple family members using the pushchair as it lets everyone use the
stroller 2 in 1 comfortably.
Look for a carrycot with an attached footmuff. It is an essential item for parents as it will provide warmth and protection for your child from the elements. A high-quality, durable footmuff must be padded with a soft and comfortable lining and be constructed of waterproof fabrics to keep your baby warm. Additionally, the best footmuffs should also be compatible with your carrycot and come with five points of harness.
The seat unit
The seat is part of a 2-in-1 system which converts a baby's carrycot into a pushchair after your baby can sit up. It usually has recline functions and two 'facing directions' - facing the parent (or rear-facing) or world facing (or forward-facing). It is important that it is comfortable for your child, and also spacious. It should also have the sunshade and hood.
You can buy a pushchair and carrycot separately or in a bundle. Bundles save you time and money by allowing you to start with the carrycot, and then change it over to the pushchair seat unit when your baby is about six months old or can sit up on their own. Many travel systems also include car seat adaptors, which allow you to connect your infant car seat to the pushchair chassis and ensure that your baby can easily be moved from car to pushchair, and back.
When you are shopping for a carrycot, choose a model that is comfortable with breathable materials that will keep your baby cool and comfortable. Some models are even designed with ventilation, sun protection, and an upholstered mattress, which means your baby will be able to rest comfortably.
Pick a baby carrier that allows you to look at your child. This allows you to watch and soothe your baby. You can easily monitor your child, soothe them and soothe them in the first few months. Many parents have found that it helps in bonding when their little one can see them.
When your baby is ready to move from their carrycot to the pushchair seat, they'll need an incredibly comfortable and supportive seat with plenty of padding, support for the lumbar area and a five-point safety harness. It's also important to check whether the pushchair comes with an reversible seat liner, or a footmuff that is incredibly soft and showerproof, and can be used during colder months.
Search for a pushchair with a large basket, that is easy to reach from the seat. It should also have multiple pockets to store your shopping. Consider an extra bag for changing to keep you well-organized on your trips. Many brands provide matching changing bags, or you can choose a tote bag or backpack that fits neatly on the frame of the stroller.
The footmuff
A footmuff is a great way to keep your baby warm on cold days. The soft fabric wraps around their lower body to keep them toasty and warm, and the convenient openings to straps ensure that they are secured in their car seat or stroller. Many brands offer a variety of footmuffs available, with some specifically designed to fit strollers or car seats which is perfect for keeping your baby warm and snug without worrying about them overheating.
Parents often use footmuffs in place of blankets or extra layers to keep their children warm. This is particularly helpful in the event of wind or rain. Najell Universal Footmuff has a super-plush cushioning that will keep your baby warm and comfy. It is also machine washable so you can keep it clean. It also fits most pushchairs, which makes it a useful and convenient accessory.
Hauck Soft 2in1 Carrycots may be used as footmuffs by taking off the head and handles. This is a great option for babies who don't need to be covered when they go out and about. It also helps save space in the nursery, since you'll only have one product that can be used from birth to toddlerhood. If you're looking to get even more organised you can also put a pacifier in the pocket, so you'll know what your baby's preferences are.
