Ickle Bubba Altair Twin Travel System with 2 Car Seats & ISOFIX Bases – Black
17 Piece Twin Travel System | 2 Carrycots | 2 Reversible Seats | 2 Nimbus i-Size Car Seats | 2 Spin ISOFIX Bases
Meet the Ickle Bubba Altair Twin 17 Piece Travel System in Black, a complete from-birth travel system created specifically for families expecting twins.
This comprehensive package brings together virtually everything you need for travelling with two babies: two carrycots, two reversible pushchair seats, two Nimbus i-Size infant car seats, two 180° Spin ISOFIX bases and car seat adapters, alongside footmuffs, raincovers and useful parent accessories.
Start with both newborns comfortably cocooned in their individual carrycots. For car journeys, each baby has their own Nimbus i-Size Car Seat and dedicated ISOFIX base. When you reach your destination, the included adapters allow the Nimbus seats to attach to the Altair chassis, creating a convenient twin travel-system setup.
As your babies grow, move them into the two reversible pushchair seats, each suitable up to 22kg.
With up to 14 possible configurations, a relatively slim 74.5cm width with two pushchair seats or carrycots, compact folding and a weight of just 15.4kg with two seats fitted, the Altair has been designed to make everyday life with twins more manageable.
A Complete Twin Travel System From Birth
The Ickle Bubba Altair Twin Travel System gives both babies their own dedicated components rather than asking parents of twins to purchase additional pieces separately.
You'll receive:
2 carrycots + 2 pushchair seats + 2 infant car seats + 2 ISOFIX bases.
This allows the Altair to adapt between everyday walks, newborn pram mode, car journeys and quick travel-system trips while providing a longer-term pushchair solution as your twins grow.
Ickle Bubba currently positions this as its 17 Piece Altair Twin Travel System, sitting above the standard Altair Twin Pram bundle.
Two Carrycots for Newborn Twins
Both babies can travel in their own Altair carrycot from birth, with two complete carrycots included in this package.
Each carrycot comes with its own:
- Mattress
- Coordinating apron
- Hood
The carrycots can be independently removed and feature one-handed removal, helping make everyday transitions easier when you're looking after two babies.
They also feature a quick-fold design, allowing them to take up less room when stored.
Two Reversible Pushchair Seats
As your babies grow, the two carrycots can be replaced by the two pushchair seats already included.
Each Altair seat is suitable from birth up to a maximum child weight of 22kg and can be independently positioned parent-facing or world-facing.
This allows you to configure the seats according to each child's needs rather than treating both twins as though they always want the same thing.
You can have:
- Both seats parent-facing
- Both seats world-facing
- Each seat positioned independently
Memory buttons make removing and repositioning the seat units straightforward.
Two Nimbus i-Size Car Seats Included
This complete Twin Travel System includes two Ickle Bubba Nimbus i-Size infant car seats, giving each baby their own car seat from birth.
The Nimbus complies with the ECE R129 i-Size standard and is suitable for babies measuring 40–87cm.
Each Nimbus features:
- Pop-out side-impact protection panels
- Supportive newborn liner
- UPF 50+ hood
- Magnetic buckle pad
- Rear-facing infant-car-seat design
- Compatibility with the included Nimbus ISOFIX base
- Compatibility with the Altair using the included adapters
The Nimbus car seat itself weighs approximately 5.15kg.
Two 180° Spin ISOFIX Bases Included
You don't receive just one base to swap between cars or seats.
This twin package includes two Nimbus ISOFIX bases, giving each Nimbus infant carrier its own base.
Once installed, the base provides a 180° rotating function, allowing the infant carrier to turn towards the vehicle door. This can make putting each baby into the car and lifting them back out considerably more convenient.
The Nimbus bases also use red-to-green visual indicators to help confirm key installation points, including the ISOFIX connections, support leg, attachment of the seat to the base and rear-facing position.
Each base weighs approximately 7.6kg.
Turn the Altair Into a Twin Car Seat Travel System
The included car seat adapters allow the two Nimbus infant carriers to attach to the Altair chassis.
This is particularly useful for shorter trips when your babies are already settled in their car seats.
Instead of moving both babies from their car seats into separate carrycots, remove the Nimbus seats from their bases and attach them to the Altair using the appropriate adapters.
It's one of the features that makes this package a genuine twin travel system, rather than simply a double pushchair sold alongside two car seats.
Up to 14 Possible Configurations
The modular Altair system provides up to 14 possible configurations, giving you flexibility as your twins grow.
Depending on the stage and components being used, configurations can include:
- Two carrycots
- Two pushchair seats
- Two Nimbus infant car seats
- Carrycot + pushchair seat
- Carrycot + Nimbus car seat
- Pushchair seat + Nimbus car seat
This can be particularly useful with twins because both children don't necessarily move between stages at exactly the same time.
Slim 74.5cm Twin Pram
Despite accommodating two children, the Altair has been designed with a relatively slim footprint.
With two pushchair seats fitted, it measures:
H 99.5 x W 74.5 x D 106cm
With two carrycots fitted:
H 99.5 x W 74.5 x D 121cm
That means the Altair maintains its 74.5cm stated width with either two seats or two carrycots, helping when navigating shops, doorways and busy everyday spaces.
When configured with two Nimbus car seats, the stated dimensions are:
H 99.5 x W 85.5 x D 121cm
Lightweight Double Pushchair
With both pushchair seats fitted, the Altair weighs just 15.4kg.
With two carrycots fitted, it weighs approximately 16.8kg.
Ickle Bubba states that the Altair is around 15% lighter than most other double prams, helping make everyday manoeuvring and transportation easier when you're already managing two babies.
Compact Fold With Both Seats Attached
Once your twins are using the pushchair seats, you won't need to remove both seats every time you put the stroller away.
The Altair folds with both pushchair seats still attached.
Its folded dimensions in this configuration are approximately:
H 77 x W 74.5 x D 38cm
The carrycots also have their own quick-fold design for more convenient storage.
Independent Comfort for Both Twins
Both Altair pushchair seats can be adjusted independently.
Each features:
- Multiple recline positions
- Adjustable calf rest
- Extendable hood
- Pop-out sun visor
- Ventilation panels
- Viewing window
One twin can recline while the other sits upright, and the direction of each seat can be changed independently.
Height-Adjustable Handle & Large Shopping Basket
The Altair features a telescopic handle adjustable from approximately 96.5–106cm, allowing different parents and carers to find a comfortable pushing height.
There's also a large shopping basket underneath for changing bags and twin essentials.
A buggy organiser and cupholder are included in the bundle for additional parent storage.

It also includes the adapters required to connect the Nimbus seats to the Altair chassis.
Does It Include 2 ISOFIX Bases?
Yes. There are two Nimbus 180° Spin ISOFIX bases included, so each Nimbus infant carrier has a dedicated base.
The bases rotate through 180° to bring the infant carrier towards the vehicle door for easier access.
Does It Include 2 Carrycots?
Yes. This complete twin bundle includes two Altair carrycots, allowing both newborn babies to travel in carrycots simultaneously.
Two pushchair seats are also included for the next stage.
Can Both Car Seats Attach to the Altair?

What's the Difference Between the Altair Twin Pram and Twin 17 Piece Travel System?
The Altair Twin Pram provides the core twin-pram setup with two carrycots and two pushchair seats.
The Altair Twin 17 Piece Travel System adds two Nimbus i-Size infant car seats, two Nimbus 180° Spin ISOFIX bases and the compatible car-seat adapters, creating a complete solution for pram, pushchair and car journeys. Ickle Bubba currently lists the Twin Pram and Twin 17 Piece Travel System as separate Altair bundle options.
A Complete Travel System for Newborn Twins
The Ickle Bubba Altair Twin 17 Piece Travel System in Black is designed to cover virtually every stage of travelling with twins during their earliest years.
Use the two carrycots for newborn walks, the two Nimbus i-Size car seats and individual 180° Spin ISOFIX bases for car journeys, attach the car seats to the Altair for quick travel-system trips, then transition to the two reversible pushchair seats as your babies grow.
With two carrycots, two seats, two car seats, two ISOFIX bases, up to 14 configurations, a 74.5cm-wide chassis in pram/pushchair mode and a compact fold, this is the Altair package I'd position as the complete twin travel system rather than simply another double stroller.
