Ickle Bubba Altair Growing Families 13 Piece Travel System – Mink

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 Mink, a versatile double travel system designed to grow with 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. It gives you the flexibility to use a carrycot or infant car seat for your newborn alongside a pushchair seat for your older child, before converting to a full two-seat double pushchair as your youngest grows.

Finished in the warm, neutral Mink colourway with a contrasting dark chassis and Black Nimbus car seat, the Altair combines contemporary styling with a slimline design, compact fold and flexible configurations for everyday family life.

Designed for a Newborn & Toddler

The Altair Growing Families Travel System is particularly well suited to parents expecting another baby while their first child still needs a pushchair.

For those first months, configure the Altair with the included carrycot for your newborn and one pushchair seat for your toddler.

For quick trips after a car journey, attach the Nimbus i-Size infant car seat to the chassis using the included adapters while your older child travels in the second seat position.

Then, when your baby is ready to progress from the carrycot, the package already contains two pushchair seats.

There's no need to purchase a second seat later.

One Carrycot Included for Your Newborn

The bundle includes a complete Mink Altair carrycot, supplied with its own mattress and coordinating apron.

Designed to create a comfortable, cocooned environment for those early pram journeys, the carrycot can be used alongside one of the pushchair seats to create an ideal baby and toddler double pram.

The carrycot features convenient one-handed removal and a quick-fold design, helping make storage easier when it's not being used.

Two Reversible Pushchair Seats Included

Although this Growing Families package includes one carrycot, you receive two complete Altair pushchair seats.

Each seat is suitable from birth up to a maximum child weight of 22kg and can be independently positioned parent-facing or world-facing.

This gives you the flexibility to have:

• Both children parent-facing
• Both children world-facing
• One child parent-facing and one world-facing

Memory buttons make removing and repositioning the seats quick and straightforward.

The independent design is especially useful when you're travelling with children of different ages and at different developmental stages.

Nimbus i-Size Infant Car Seat Included

The Altair Growing Families 13 Piece Travel System includes a Black Nimbus i-Size infant car seat, providing a convenient car-seat solution for your youngest child.

Suitable for babies measuring 40–87cm, the Nimbus is an ECE R129 i-Size compliant infant carrier designed to provide comfort and protection from those first car journeys.

Features include:

• Supportive newborn liner
• Pop-out side-impact protection
• UPF 50+ protective hood
• Comfortable padded interior
• Compatibility with the included Nimbus ISOFIX base
• Compatibility with the Altair chassis using the included adapters

The Black Nimbus car seat provides a smart contrast against the soft Mink fabrics of the stroller and carrycot.

180° Spin ISOFIX Base Included

You won't need to purchase the compatible base separately.

This 13 Piece Travel System includes one Nimbus 180° Spin ISOFIX base for use with the included Nimbus infant carrier.

The rotating base allows the car seat to turn 180° towards the vehicle door, helping make getting your baby in and out of the car easier.

Visual installation indicators help you check key connection points, while the support leg provides additional stability.

Use the Nimbus Car Seat on the Altair

Compatible car seat adapters are included, allowing the Nimbus infant carrier to attach directly to the Altair chassis.

This creates a particularly useful configuration for families with a baby and toddler.

Your newborn can travel in their Nimbus infant car seat on one side, while your older child travels in the pushchair seat on the other.

For longer pram journeys, simply use the included carrycot instead.

Up to 14 Possible Configurations

The modular Altair platform offers up to 14 possible configurations depending on the bundle and components available.

Useful Growing Families configurations include:

• Carrycot + pushchair seat
• Nimbus car seat + pushchair seat
• Two pushchair seats

The wider Altair system can also accommodate additional carrycot and car-seat combinations when the necessary extra components are purchased separately.

This flexibility allows the stroller to adapt as the needs of your family change.

Slim 74.5cm Double Pushchair

Despite carrying two children, the Altair has been designed to maintain a manageable footprint.

With its two pushchair seats attached, it measures:

H 99.5 x W 74.5 x D 106cm

The 74.5cm width helps make navigating doorways, shops and busy everyday spaces easier than you might expect from a double pushchair.

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 infant car seats and the additional components required:

H 99.5 x W 85.5 x D 121cm

Lightweight Double Stroller

With both 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 pushing, manoeuvring and transporting it more manageable.

The stated weights for different configurations are:

Two seats: 15.4kg
One seat + one carrycot: 16.1kg
Two carrycots: 16.8kg

For the newborn-and-toddler setup most relevant to this bundle, the one seat + one carrycot configuration weighs approximately 16.1kg.

Compact Fold With Both Seats Attached

When both children are using the pushchair seats, there's no need to remove them every time you fold the stroller.

The Altair folds with both pushchair seats attached, with folded dimensions of approximately:

H 77 x W 74.5 x D 38cm

The included carrycot also features its own quick-fold design for more convenient storage.

Independent Comfort for Both Children

Children of different ages don't always want to sit or sleep at the same time, so 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

One child can recline for a nap while the other remains sitting upright, giving you greater control over the comfort of each passenger.

Telescopic Height-Adjustable Handle

The Altair features a telescopic handle adjustable from approximately 96.5cm to 106cm, allowing parents and carers of different heights to choose a more comfortable pushing position.

A large shopping basket underneath provides useful storage for changing bags, shopping and everyday essentials for two children.

You'll also receive a buggy organiser and cupholder.

Is the Ickle Bubba Altair Growing Families Travel System Good for a Newborn and Toddler?

Yes. This particular Altair package has been designed around the needs of a growing family with children of different ages.

Your newborn can use the included carrycot or Nimbus infant car seat, while your toddler travels alongside them in one of the pushchair seats.

When your youngest is ready for a pushchair seat, two seats are already included.

Does the Altair Growing Families Include Two Seats?

Yes. The package includes two reversible pushchair seats, each with a maximum child weight capacity of 22kg.

This means you don't need to purchase another seat when your youngest progresses from the carrycot.

How Many Carrycots Are Included?

One carrycot is included.

This is an important difference between the Growing Families and Twin versions of the Altair.

The Growing Families bundle is particularly suited to a newborn and older sibling, whereas the Altair Twin packages include two carrycots for families requiring a newborn setup for twins.

Is the Nimbus Car Seat Included?

Yes. One Black Nimbus i-Size infant car seat is included with this package.

Compatible adapters are also supplied so the Nimbus can be connected to the Altair chassis.

Is the ISOFIX Base Included?

Yes. One Nimbus 180° Spin ISOFIX base is included.

You therefore receive both the infant car seat and its compatible rotating base as part of the travel-system package.

Can I Use the Car Seat and Pushchair Seat Together?

Yes. The included Nimbus infant carrier can be attached to the Altair using the supplied adapters while an older child uses a pushchair seat alongside it.

This makes the Altair particularly practical as a double travel system for a newborn and toddler.

Can I Use the Carrycot and Pushchair Seat Together?

Yes. The Altair can be configured with the included carrycot and one pushchair seat, creating a traditional newborn-and-toddler double-pram setup.

How Wide Is the Ickle Bubba Altair?

With two pushchair seats fitted, 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. Both pushchair seats can remain attached when folding the Altair.

Folded in this configuration, it measures approximately:

H 77 x W 74.5 x D 38cm

What's the Difference Between the Altair Growing Families and Twin Travel Systems?

The difference is primarily the number of newborn components and car seats included.

The Altair Growing Families 13 Piece Travel System includes:

2 pushchair seats + 1 carrycot + 1 Nimbus car seat + 1 ISOFIX base

This makes it particularly suitable for a newborn baby and older sibling.

The Altair Twin 17 Piece Travel System includes:

2 pushchair seats + 2 carrycots + 2 Nimbus car seats + 2 ISOFIX bases

That package provides the additional newborn components required for newborn twins.

Ickle Bubba Altair Mink – A Double Travel System That Grows With Your Family

The Ickle Bubba Altair Growing Families 13 Piece Travel System in Mink gives parents the flexibility to move from a newborn-and-toddler setup to a full two-seat double pushchair without replacing the entire travel system.

Start with the Mink carrycot and pushchair seat, use the Black Nimbus i-Size car seat and pushchair seat for convenient travel-system trips, then move to the two reversible 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 offers a highly adaptable solution for families whose children are at different stages.
