Pros and cons
Baby Jogger
Pros
- The lightest frame of 6.58 kg ranks 13 of 42 brands compared, and the one hand fold makes light frames easy to manage
- Formats span full size, compact and travel in one range, so a compact, travel, jogging, double and travel-system family can be built from a single brand
- A child up to 34 kg fits, and single to double conversion means the chassis can be extended rather than replaced
Cons
- The rotating convertible seat has no Plus test, which settles the choice if extended rear facing is your priority
- The entry and top of the range sit mid-market: $279.99 ranks 26 of 43 and $999.99 ranks 30 of 41
- Shipping is listed for US and CA only, so shoppers elsewhere check a local stockist
Ickle Bubba
Pros
- The lightest stroller in the comparison weighs 4.9 kg and places 2 of 42 brands, with a one hand fold and a cabin size fold on the same collection.
- A warranty of 2 to 4 years across the stroller range, plus 14 days to return a purchase after delivery.
- Stroller types listed are full size, compact and travel, and the jogging and pram options do not appear in the Kids2Shop range of full size, compact and travel.
Cons
- Support runs on email, chat and help centre only, so there is no phone line for a problem that cannot wait for an email.
- Mattress included is a no for the Coleby Classic bed, so the 140 x 70cm mattress is a separate cost on top of a frame that converts to a toddler bed.
- A product safety notice covers the Solar Group Isofix car seat, listed as Solar Group 1 2 3 Isofix Car Seat 01/02/2024 23/02/2024, so owners of that seat should read it before fitting.
Who each suits
Baby Jogger
Who it suits
- Parents buying a jogging stroller who also need an infant or convertible car seat from the same maker
- Travellers who want a light frame and a one hand fold for overhead and train luggage handling
- Families planning a second child who want to extend a single frame into a double
Who should look elsewhere
- Harppa Baby suits anyone focused on double wagons, since Baby Jogger's double and travel-system lines sit alongside a wider spread of formats
- Kids2Shop is worth a look if you want a simpler travel and full-size range without jogging and double options
Ickle Bubba
Who it suits
- Parents assembling a full set in one place, since crib, cot and bassinet and infant, convertible and all in one sit in the same catalogue.
- Travellers who want a one hand fold, a cabin size fold and a 4.9 kg frame, where the Kids2Shop range of full size, compact and travel stops at full size, compact, travel and travel system options.
- Shoppers in the United Kingdom, GG and IM who want 14 days to return a purchase without visiting a store.
Who should look elsewhere
- Parents set on a wrap, ring sling or hip seat carrier, because the only carrier type listed is soft structured and a carrier specialist is a better stop for that choice.
- Families who want a double specialist, since Harppa Baby's double is built around double models, while Ickle Bubba spreads across full size, compact and travel.
- Parents hoping for connected sleep monitoring, since smart features are a no on the bed and a monitor brand is the better route.

Questions about each
Baby Jogger
How much do Baby Jogger strollers cost?+
Stroller prices start at $279.99 and reach $999.99. That entry figure belongs to a compact eco stroller, while the upper figure sits with the full-size and jogging models in the same range. A travel system or double pushes toward the top of that spread.
How light are the strollers compared with rivals?+
The lightest Baby Jogger frame is 6.58 kg, which places it high on lightness, ranked 13 out of 42 brands compared. Heavier jogging and full-size models in the range weigh considerably more than that entry figure.
Ickle Bubba
How much do Ickle Bubba strollers cost?+
Stroller prices run from £99 to £1,099 across the collection. Both are product prices paid at purchase rather than a plan that renews, so the entry figure is the whole outlay for a smaller frame. Since both numbers are charged at checkout, they compare more directly with rival brands than a monthly fee would.
How small do the strollers fold, and do any suit cabin luggage rules?+
A one hand fold and a cabin size fold are both confirmed on the stroller collection, and the folded size for the compact model is 45 x 25 x 56 cm. The lightest frame weighs 4.9 kg, well under the 7.34 kg median for the category, so the small end of the range suits airports, stations and small flats.
