A 2 in 1 Carrycot and Pushchair Review
A 2 in 1 carrycot and pushchair combines both the baby seat and carrycot into one single unit. It is easy to switch between the two as your child grows.
It is generally accepted that babies should remain in the carrycot until they start rolling over, which is usually around six months.
The Ickle Bubba Eclipse
Since its launch in 2013, the British brand Ickle Bubba has taken over the UK. They offer fabulous prams and travel systems packed with features but at very affordable prices. They also provide a generous warranty of four years that is much longer than the typical time provided by other brands of prams!
The Eclipse is their most well-known model and it's difficult to see why. It's a double-in-1 pram and pushchair that is suitable for children from birth up to 22kg. 4 years). It offers 6 modes of use and includes a rear Bubba Board for a standing child 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 lockable wheels make it easy on narrow streets in cities. The seat is adjustable and can be placed in a world-facing or parent-facing position. In addition, there's a huge shopping basket and cosy foot muff.
This 2 in 1 pram includes a raincover, colour co-ordinating changing bag and mat, carrycot apron, mattress, and extendable hood, which helps to protect your child from the elements. There's also two in one pram and a soft leatherette handlebar. Like all Ickle Bubba products the Eclipse is made in Britain!

Ickle Bubba offers an unconditional refund if you aren't happy with the purchase. This is a great deal!
The carrycot
The carrycot is a great spot for infants to sleep, providing an environment that is safe and comfortable. It's a secure and comfortable place for newborns to rest. The importance of lying flat is for lung and spinal development.
Carrycots can be taken anywhere, so you do not have to be a nuisance to your baby as they sleep. This is a great option if you are running an appointment or do not have a babysitter, or simply want some fresh air and a pleasant walk. Carrycots are a great option to save money and time by not having to pay for an babysitter.
When choosing a carrycot, you should look for one that features solid frame that is designed for ease of movement and folding with minimal effort. It should also be lightweight to ensure it can be easily moved and stored and have an umbrella that protects from the sun. Additionally, it's essential to select a baby carrier made of high-quality fabrics and fillings which are flame-resistant to ensure your infant's safety.
A carrycot of good quality is one with a comfortable mattress that is filled with polyurethane for maximum comfort and support. There are models with adjustable base levels that can be able to accommodate your growing baby and ensure maximum comfort.
In addition, a high-quality carrycot will include handles that are connected and single for effortless maneuvering. This is especially useful if there are multiple family members who use the stroller.
Choose a baby carrier that comes with a footmuff. It is a must-have item for any parent as it will provide warmth and security for your child from the elements. A good quality footmuff should have a soft, comfortable lining and be constructed of waterproof materials to keep your baby warm. Additionally, the best footmuffs should also be compatible with your carrycot and come with 5-point harnesses.
The seat unit
The seat unit is the part of a two-in-one travel system that can be converted from a carrycot to an infant pushchair when your baby is ready to sit. It will usually have recline capabilities and two "facing directions" - either parent facing or rear-facing, or world-facing. It should be large, comfy for your child, and include sunshade, a cover and be easy to put on and off the frame of your pushchair.
You can buy a carrycot and pushchair either separately or as an all-in-one bundle. Bundles can help you save money and time because you can begin with a carrycot, and then change it to the pushchair seat when your baby is six months old or is able to sit without assistance. The majority of travel systems include car seat adaptors enabling you to link the infant car seat to the pushchair chassis and ensure that your baby can be easily moved from car to pushchair and back.
When buying a carrycot, choose a model that is comfortable with breathable fabrics that will keep your baby cool and comfortable. Some models come with ventilation, sun protection and an incredibly soft mattress that will ensure your baby's sleep is comfortable.
Pick a baby carrier that allows you to face your child. This will allow you to monitor and comfort your baby. You can easily monitor your child, soothe them and reassure them in these early months. Many parents find it also helps to bond with their children when they can see them.
When your baby is ready to move from their carrycot to the pushchair seat they will need an incredibly comfortable, supportive seat that has plenty of padding as well as good back support, along with a five-point harness. It's also important to know if the pushchair has an reversible seat liner, or a footmuff that is incredibly soft and waterproof, and is able to be used in colder weather.
Choose a stroller with large baskets that are easy to access from the seat and comes with multiple pockets to store your shopping. Consider the option of a changing bag to keep your things organized on your outings. You can purchase an coordinating changing bag from most brands or pick bags or a backpack that will fit neatly onto the stroller frame.
The footmuff
A footmuff is a great method to keep your baby warm and comfortable when out and about during cold winter days. The soft fabric wraps around their lower body to keep them toasty and warm, and the convenient openings to straps ensure that they can be secured in their car seat or stroller. Some footmuffs are specifically designed to fit specific strollers or car seats. This is perfect for keeping your baby warm without worrying about overheating.
Parents often use footmuffs instead of blankets and 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 keeps your baby warm and comfortable. It's also machine washable, so you can keep it clean. It is also compatible with the majority of pushchairs, making it a useful and convenient accessory.
The Hauck Soft 2in1 Carrycot can also be used as a footmuff by taking off the handles as well as the head and lateral pieces, which makes it a convenient option for infants who don't want to be covered when out and out and about. This also saves on space in the nursery because you'll only need one product that can be used from birth to toddlerhood. And if you want to keep your things in order, there's even a pacifier pocket included so you can find your baby's favourite.
The Ickle Bubba Eclipse 2-in-1 carrycot and stroller will ensure your child is secure, safe and comfortable throughout the day, whether you're walking in the park or running through the city for errands. The spacious carrycot creates a safe atmosphere, and the sturdy chassis and adjustable canopy provide protection from the elements so you can go on outdoor excursions with confidence. And when it's time to come inside the easy and quick folding mechanism ensures that the Eclipse can swiftly and easily fold down into a compact and light package that can easily fit in the boot of your car.
