Ickle Bubba Altair Growing Families 13 Piece Travel System – Laurel Green
Double Travel System for Newborn & Toddler | 2 Reversible Seats | Carrycot | Nimbus i-Size Car Seat | 180° Spin ISOFIX Base
Meet the Ickle Bubba Altair Growing Families 13 Piece Travel System in Laurel Green, a versatile double pram and travel system designed for families who need a practical solution for a newborn baby and an older sibling.
This complete package includes two reversible pushchair seats, one carrycot, one Nimbus i-Size infant car seat, one Nimbus 180° Spin ISOFIX base and compatible car seat adapters. This means you can travel with your newborn in the carrycot or infant car seat while their older sibling uses a pushchair seat alongside them.
As your youngest grows, simply replace the carrycot with the second pushchair seat already included, transforming the Altair into a full two-seat double pushchair.
Finished in contemporary Laurel Green with a contrasting dark chassis and Black Nimbus car seat, the Altair combines modern styling with a slim 74.5cm two-seat width, compact folding and flexible configurations designed to adapt as your family grows.
Designed for a Newborn & Toddler
The Altair Growing Families Travel System is particularly well suited to parents expecting another baby while their older child still needs a pushchair.
For newborn journeys, use the included Laurel Green carrycot alongside one pushchair seat.
After a car journey, attach the Nimbus i-Size infant car seat to the Altair using the included adapters while your toddler continues to use the pushchair seat.
Later, when your youngest is ready to move on from the carrycot, you already have two complete pushchair seats.
There's no need to purchase a second seat separately.
Carrycot Included for Your Newborn
The package includes one Laurel Green Altair carrycot, complete with its own mattress and coordinating apron.
It provides your newborn with their own dedicated space while your older child travels alongside them in one of the pushchair seats.
The carrycot features convenient one-handed removal and can be folded down for more compact storage when it's not being used.
This makes the Altair particularly practical for families looking for a double pram with carrycot for a newborn and toddler.
Two Reversible Pushchair Seats Included
Unlike some growing-family pushchairs where the second seat needs to be purchased separately, the Altair package includes two pushchair seat units from the start.
Each seat is suitable from birth up to a maximum child weight of 22kg and can be independently positioned parent-facing or world-facing.
You can configure the seats with:
- Both children parent-facing
- Both children world-facing
- One parent-facing and one world-facing
The seats also feature convenient memory buttons, making them easier to remove and reposition.
This independent design is especially useful when you're carrying children of different ages who may have very different needs.
Nimbus i-Size Infant Car Seat Included
The Altair Growing Families 13 Piece Travel System also includes a Black Nimbus i-Size infant car seat for your youngest passenger.
Suitable for babies measuring 40–87cm, the Nimbus is an ECE R129 i-Size compliant infant carrier designed for those important first car journeys.
Features include:
- Supportive newborn liner
- Pop-out side-impact protection
- UPF 50+ protective hood
- Comfortable padded interior
- Compatibility with the Nimbus ISOFIX base
- Compatibility with the Altair chassis using the included adapters
The Black Nimbus car seat contrasts neatly with the soft Laurel Green stroller and carrycot fabrics.
Nimbus 180° Spin ISOFIX Base Included
The compatible base isn't an additional purchase with this package.
You'll receive one Nimbus 180° Spin ISOFIX base alongside the Nimbus infant carrier.
Its 180° rotating function allows the infant carrier to turn towards the vehicle door, helping make getting your baby in and out of the car easier.
Visual installation indicators help confirm key connection points, while the support leg provides additional stability.
Attach the Nimbus Car Seat to the Altair
Compatible car seat adapters are included, allowing you to attach the Nimbus infant carrier directly to the Altair chassis.
This creates an extremely useful newborn-and-toddler travel system configuration.
Your baby can remain in the Nimbus infant carrier for a convenient short trip while your older child travels alongside them in the pushchair seat.
For longer pram journeys, simply use the included carrycot instead.
Up to 14 Possible Configurations
The Altair platform offers up to 14 possible configurations depending on the bundle and components available.
With this Growing Families package, the key configurations include:
- Carrycot + pushchair seat
- Nimbus car seat + pushchair seat
- Two pushchair seats
The wider Altair system can accommodate further combinations when the required additional components are purchased separately.
This flexibility allows the Altair to change as your youngest child grows rather than limiting you to one fixed double-pushchair arrangement.
Slim 74.5cm Double Pushchair
One of the most useful Altair specifications is its relatively slim footprint.
With both pushchair seats fitted, the Altair measures:
H 99.5 x W 74.5 x D 106cm
At 74.5cm wide, it's designed to make navigating shops, doorways and busy everyday spaces more manageable with two children.
With two carrycots fitted using an additional second carrycot, the Altair measures:
H 99.5 x W 74.5 x D 121cm
With two compatible car seats fitted using the additional components required, its stated dimensions are:
H 99.5 x W 85.5 x D 121cm
Lightweight for a Double Stroller
With two pushchair seats attached, the Altair weighs just 15.4kg.
Ickle Bubba states that the Altair is approximately 15% lighter than most other double strollers, helping make everyday pushing, manoeuvring and transportation more manageable.
The stated weights for different configurations are:
Two seats: 15.4kg
One seat + one carrycot: 16.1kg
Two carrycots: 16.8kg
For this Growing Families package, the one carrycot + one seat configuration weighs approximately 16.1kg.
Compact Fold With Both Seats Attached
When both children progress to using the pushchair seats, you won't have to remove both seats whenever you put the stroller away.
The Altair folds with both pushchair seats still attached.
Folded in this configuration, it measures approximately:
H 77 x W 74.5 x D 38cm
The carrycot also features its own quick-fold design, helping make separate storage easier.
Independent Comfort for Both Children
Children of different ages don't always want to sit in the same position.
That's why the Altair's two pushchair seats can be adjusted independently.
Each seat features:
- Multiple recline positions
- Adjustable calf rest
- Pop-out sun visor
- Hood extension
- Ventilation panels
- Viewing window
Your younger child can recline for a nap while their older sibling sits upright, and each seat can be positioned parent-facing or world-facing independently.
Height-Adjustable Handle & Generous Storage
The Altair features a telescopic handle adjustable from approximately 96.5cm to 106cm, allowing different parents and carers to choose a comfortable pushing height.
Underneath, a large shopping basket provides useful room for changing bags, shopping and everything else needed for a day out with two children.
A buggy organiser and cupholder are also included in the package.

Is the Ickle Bubba Altair Growing Families Travel System Suitable for a Newborn and Toddler?
Yes. The Altair Growing Families package is designed specifically around the needs of families with children at different stages.
Your newborn can travel in the included carrycot or Nimbus infant car seat, while your older child travels alongside them in one of the pushchair seats.
As your baby grows, simply switch to the second pushchair seat already included.
Does the Altair Growing Families Include Two Pushchair Seats?
Yes. You receive two reversible pushchair seats, each suitable for a child up to 22kg.
This means the Altair can transition into a conventional two-seat double pushchair without requiring you to buy the second seat later.
How Many Carrycots Are Included?
One carrycot is included in this Growing Families package.
That's an important distinction from the Altair Twin bundles.
The Growing Families Travel System is particularly suited to a newborn and older sibling, while the Altair Twin packages include two carrycots for parents who need a newborn setup for twins.
Does It Include a Car Seat?
Yes. The package includes one Black Nimbus i-Size infant car seat.
Compatible adapters are also included, allowing the Nimbus to connect to the Altair chassis.
Is the ISOFIX Base Included?
Yes. One Nimbus 180° Spin ISOFIX base is included in the package.
You therefore receive the infant car seat and its compatible rotating ISOFIX base together.
Can I Use the Car Seat and Pushchair Seat Together?
Yes. The included Nimbus infant carrier can be fitted to the Altair using the supplied adapters while an older child uses a pushchair seat alongside it.
This is one of the most useful configurations for families travelling with a newborn and toddler.
Can I Use the Carrycot and Seat at the Same Time?
Yes. The included carrycot can be used alongside one of the Altair pushchair seats.
This creates a traditional double pram for a newborn and toddler, before eventually transitioning to the two-seat configuration.
How Wide Is the Ickle Bubba Altair?
With its two pushchair seats attached, the Altair measures 74.5cm wide.
Its complete dimensions in this configuration are:
H 99.5 x W 74.5 x D 106cm
Does the Altair Fold With Both Seats Attached?
Yes. The Altair can be folded while both pushchair seats remain attached.
Its folded dimensions are approximately:
H 77 x W 74.5 x D 38cm
What's the Difference Between Altair Growing Families and Altair Twin?
The key difference is the number of newborn components included.
The Altair Growing Families 13 Piece Travel System includes:
2 pushchair seats + 1 carrycot + 1 Nimbus car seat + 1 ISOFIX base
It's particularly suited to a newborn and an older sibling.
The Altair Twin 17 Piece Travel System includes:
2 pushchair seats + 2 carrycots + 2 Nimbus car seats + 2 ISOFIX bases
That provides the additional newborn components required for newborn twins.
Ickle Bubba Altair Laurel Green – Built for a Growing Family
The Ickle Bubba Altair Growing Families 13 Piece Travel System in Laurel Green gives you the flexibility to move from a newborn-and-toddler setup into a full double pushchair as your family grows.
Start with the Laurel Green carrycot and pushchair seat, switch to the Black Nimbus i-Size car seat and pushchair seat when convenient after a car journey, then progress to the two reversible pushchair seats as your youngest grows.
With two seats, one carrycot, a Nimbus i-Size car seat, 180° Spin ISOFIX base, adapters, a 74.5cm two-seat width and compact folding, the Altair provides a flexible alternative to buying separate prams for each stage.
