After welcoming your first baby, you’ve got the rhythm and routines down to a tee, and then another bundle of joy comes along.
Suddenly, you need more hands, more eyes, and of course, an extra seat in the pushchair. Whether it’s for the school runs, doing the weekly food shop, afternoon naps, or days out in the park, investing in a reliable stroller will become a godsend.
However, when looking for one that will tick all of the requirements, there are endless amounts on the market. From thinking about space, will it fit through the front door? Can it handle narrow shop aisles without turning into a three-point turn situation? Does it manoeuvre smoothly and quickly if you need to dash somewhere?
Ickle Bubba Aries Double Autofold Stroller
The Ickle Bubba Aries Double Auto‑Fold Stroller is a lightweight 10.5kg double buggy with a slim 69cm frame that fits easily through doorways and tight spaces.
It features a one‑hand auto‑fold, independently adjustable seats suitable from birth to 15kg, and practical extras including a roomy basket and hood storage pockets.
Available in multiple colours and bundle options, the base model (£269) includes a rain cover and is designed to make travelling with two children simpler and more convenient.
Then, of course, there’s the weight to think about. Trying to lift a double stroller into the boot with one hand whilst holding a toddler is not ideal. Does it fold down easily? Or does it take a mastermind to work it out?
With all of this in mind, it’s no surprise that so many parents are big fans of Ickle Bubba’s options. What’s better is that they have just expanded their Aries range with a lightweight double stroller, so all your worries and concerns are solved. The Aries Double Auto-Fold Stroller is a model designed specially with the realities of juggling two little ones at its core.
The Aries Double Stroller range features three models, which include the Aries Double Auto-Fold Stroller, Aries Double Max Autofold Stroller, and the Aries Double Prime Autofold Stroller. Each comes available in either black, stone, graphite grey, or sage green. The difference? Each has different bundles attached, with 2, 4, or 6 pieces available, and ranging from £269 to £349.
The Aries Double Auto-Fold Stroller retails for £269, and includes the stroller itself and a raincover. It is fitted with the brilliant one-hand auto-fold design, so packing up becomes easy and simple. Each seat is adjustable, so if they want to be nosy, they can sit up and watch the world, or if they drift off, you can lay them flat to enjoy.
The Aries Double Max Autofold Stroller costs £299, and includes the stroller, two foot warmers for each seat so that their little legs can be protected and kept warm and toasty, an easy-access cup holder for either their drinks or yours, and a raincover.
Lastly, the Aries Double Prime Autofold Stroller, priced at £349, includes the stroller, two foot warmers, a cup holder, a rain cover, a buggy organiser which provides essential extra storage, as we all know, the little ones need more than you think, and a soft, supportive newborn cocoon.
One of our favourite features of each of the bundles is the large shopping basket and additional storage pockets on both hoods, allowing you to easily grab or pop the likes of your phone, keys or purse away if needed.
The stroller itself weighs just 10.5kg and can support children from birth up to 15kg in each seat. It has a slimmer width compared to others on the market at just 69cm, making it ideal for travelling, days out in the city, and for those who need efficiency and easy transport. It’s durable enough to last throughout their years and is built with great quality, sturdy materials, so you won’t be throwing it away after a few months.
So, why not give the little ones and yourself an easier time by investing in one of Ickle Bubba’s Aries Double Auto-Fold Strollers?
