Rank #3 in Best Lightweight Strollers 2026: 10 Ranked, Weights Fact-Checked
Ickle Bubba Aries Autofold Stroller, 6.1 kg
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Ickle Bubba Aries Autofold Stroller sits third in our lightweight stroller guide at £143, rated 4.4 out of 5 from 83 Amazon ratings. It sells the familiar promise — 6.1 kg, one-hand auto-fold, birth to 22 kg — but it is one of the few listings in this guide where the headline weight actually survives contact with the spec sheet.
The bullets say 6.1 kg, and the spec sheet says 6.1 kg twice: "Item Weight" and "Frame Weight" are the same figure. The folded size it publishes, W46cm x L22cm x H79cm, is genuinely different from its open size of 89L x 46W x 103H centimetres, so that number does at least describe a fold. Not everything lines up, though. The sheet lists a "Stroller Seat Weight" of 22 kilograms, which is the same figure as the maximum weight recommendation — that is a child's weight, not a seat's. It also lists a "Car Seat Weight" of 6.1 kilograms on a stroller whose "Is Car Seat Compatible" field reads No. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing; we have not tested this stroller ourselves.
