My favourite baby brands have teamed up and I’m glad they did.
As a mum, I’m always a bit sceptical when I hear about new product launches especially in the baby world, where it can sometimes feel like more marketing than meaning. That’s why the recent partnership between Ickle Bubba and Maxi-Cosi actually stood out to me for the right reasons.
These are two brands I’ve trusted at different stages of parenthood, so seeing them come together feels practical rather than promotional. Ickle Bubba has launched four travel system bundles that now include the Maxi-Cosi CabrioFix i-Size car seat and ISOFIX base. The range covers the Stomp Luxe, Stomp Urban, Altima and Cosmo, with prices from starting from £449.
They’re also included in Ickle Bubba’s winter sale, running from now until the February 3, which makes a huge difference when you’re budgeting for a new baby. What I like most is that every bundle includes the same car seat. The CabrioFix i-Size is lightweight something you really appreciate once you’re lifting a baby in and out of the car daily and the Click & Go ISOFIX system makes fitting it straightforward and reassuring.
There’s also a newborn inlay and a generous sun canopy, which are small details but genuinely useful. Each travel system offers a slightly different setup, depending on what you need. The Stomp Luxe and Altima are more comprehensive 12-piece systems, while the Cosmo is a simpler 9-piece option for those who want something more streamlined. The Stomp Urban sits neatly in the middle.
Overall, this collaboration feels less about pushing a new product and more about making things easier for parents. As a mum, that’s what I’m always looking for reliable, well-designed essentials that just work.
