This lightweight pushchair by Ickle Bubba is packed with lots of features that parents will enjoy. The travel system comes with a lie flat carrycot for babies and a multi-position forward and rear facing seat for a pushchair.
The XL Air is a really impressive buggy and it's simple to see why it's received such high praise from customers. It is incredibly lightweight with the chassis and wheels weigh just 6.5kg. It is also very easy to assemble. I was able get it up and running in just five minutes - which is amazing considering that it included attaching fabric for the carrycot.
It has a nice wide, comfortable seat that is comfortable for Annie (who is 12 months old) and the recline lever is very simple to use. The basket has plenty of space and I am impressed that the handle bar features a pocket to keep your phone and keys safe.
The handlebar is a bit low, which could be an issue for parents who are taller. However, it's encased with a luxurious leather-like material that is soft and comfy and wipes down easily, meaning it's still a breeze to push with bags and children in your hands!

Some parents have reported that the Runner 2 to be a bit more difficult to navigate than its predecessor, and the locking system isn't as user-friendly (requiring two buttons on either side of the push bar).

The large, puncture-proof wheels - either 22cm or a bit larger - can handle a variety of terrains. They also have a handy flap that can open or closes to allow more air in if you need it, which is a nice feature.

It comes with accessory points that allow you to attach footmuffs and parasols and also changing bags or snack trays, and even snack trays. The hood can be used to block rain and wind, but it's not waterproof. It's a single pram however, you can also attach their Comfort Wheeled Board (not included) to give your child more legroom.
