Our verdict on each
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.
The Little Green Sheep
The Little Green Sheep fills a gap most brands leave open: a plain bassinet and mattress pair sold in a single market, with no rental route and no smart features. For parents buying through a short newborn phase, the entry price of €64.48 with a mattress included makes it an easy shortlist name.

Pros and cons
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.
The Little Green Sheep
Pros
- A mattress is included as standard, so the entry price of €64.48 covers the sleeping surface instead of stopping at a frame.
- Support runs on email and phone, which gives a parent a phone call as well as an email for sizing or warranty questions.
- Mattress dimensions of 28x74 cm are published, so a replacement mattress or a spare sheet is easy to match.
Cons
- There is no rental option, so the setup has to be bought outright instead of hired for a short term.
- Smart features are not part of the offer, where Happiest Baby pairs a bassinet with a smart sleeper, bassinet and smart sleeper.
- The range is sold in the United Kingdom, a single market, so delivery outside the UK is not covered.
Who each suits
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.
The Little Green Sheep
Who it suits
- Parents buying for a newborn who need a set that works to 6 months and then gets replaced.
- UK shoppers who want the mattress in the same order as the frame, since a mattress is included as standard.
- People who prefer a plain setup with no app, no monitor and no monthly hire, all marked absent from this offer.
Who should look elsewhere
- Parents who would rather hire than own, because there is no rental option here while Wookids Rental covers cot, bedside crib and mattress on a rental model.
- Parents chasing connected sleep data, since this range has no smart features and Happiest Baby lists bassinet and smart sleeper.
- Shoppers who want a bassinet specialist on the shortlist, since Evenflo Company lists bassinet as its range.

Questions about each
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.
The Little Green Sheep
What does entry cost at The Little Green Sheep?+
The listed entry price is €64.48, and that covers a mattress rather than a bare frame, since a mattress is included as standard. There is no rental option, so the figure you see is the figure you pay in full at checkout.
What ages and weights is the bassinet built for?+
The bassinet is rated to 6 months and a child weight of 9 kg. That is a newborn window, so parents should expect to move on to a bigger sleep space after that point rather than stretching the same product. The child weight limit of 9 kg sits at the same level, so both caps arrive together.
