Rank #8 in Best Travel System Pushchair 2026: 10 Ranked, and Why 25 kg Means 22 kg
Ickle Bubba Star 3 in 1 Travel System with Astral Car Seat
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Ickle Bubba Star is a 3 in 1 travel system bundle listed at £179.00, made up of a pramette, a pushchair seat and an Astral Group 0+ car seat. It sits eighth of the ten systems in this guide. The seat unit converts from lie-flat pram to upright pushchair, the chassis folds for car boots, and the listing describes an extendable hood with a viewing window and a large shopping basket.
The number to watch on this one is the weight limit. The bullet says the Star is "Suitable From Birth To 16KG" — but the listing's own Maximum Weight Recommendation field says 15 kg, so the headline figure is 1 kg above the spec table. That is the smallest gap in this guide and it is still a gap. The weight fields do not agree with each other either: Item Weight is given as 2.81 kg, Frame Weight as 6 kg and Stroller Seat Weight as 15 kg, all in the same table. The 4.1 rating comes from 61 ratings, and the star breakdown shown alongside it adds up to 100, with 69 at five stars and 19 at one or two stars.
