Our verdict on each
Harppa Baby
Harppa Baby suits parents buying sleep gear and wagon strollers in one basket. The Grevia convertible crib runs to 60 months and converts to toddler bed and daybed, so one frame carries a newborn through toddler years. The catch is a mattress bought separately.
Ickle Bubba
Ickle Bubba suits parents who want the pushchair, the car seat and the sleep furniture from a single British brand, and who put a light frame above a premium badge. The lightest stroller weighs 4.9 kg and places 2 of 42 brands on weight.

Pros and cons
Harppa Baby
Pros
- The Grevia convertible crib runs to 60 months and converts to toddler bed and daybed as the child grows.
- Stroller models include Rori, Remy, Remy XL, listed under astm f833.
- The wagon range takes a child up to 24.9 kg, well above the 22.6 kg limit on the crib.
Cons
- The listed sleep standard is astm f2194 and it sits with the bedside sleeper model, so certification is tied to one product.
- Mattress included answers no, so the mattress that fits the crib frame at L 52 x W 27.6 is a separate cost.
- For the Remy, both one hand fold and cabin size fold are no.
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
Harppa Baby
Who it suits
- Parents who want sleep gear and wagon strollers in the same basket
- Families who want one crib frame rated to 60 months and a child weight of 22.6 kg
- Shoppers in the United States, CA and AU who want phone and email support after the sale
Who should look elsewhere
- Happiest Baby, if a bassinet and smart sleeper covers the need and the wagon range is not for you
- Evenflo Company, if a single bassinet is all you need rather than a range that also runs to 24.9 kg in the wagons
- Wookids Rental, if renting a cot, bedside crib and mattress suits you better than buying outright
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
Harppa Baby
What does the Harppa Baby range cost?+
Prices start at $39.99 and run to $349.99 across the range. The convertible crib and the wagon strollers sit at the upper end of that spread, while the cheaper items come from the same catalogue. The mattress is a separate buy, so the frame price alone does not cover a full sleep setup.
Is a mattress included with the Harppa Baby crib?+
Mattress included answers no for the Grevia convertible crib, so budget for a separate mattress. The crib takes a mattress of L 52 x W 27.6. Measure that before ordering, since a mismatched size will not sit flat inside the frame and most sellers will not swap a mattress after it is opened.
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.
