Ickle Bubba Stomp V4
The Ickle Bubba Stomp V4 is a 2018-released, fourth generation of the Ickle Bubba Stomp/Ickle Bubba Stomp V2/Ickle Bubba Stomp V3 stroller line. The Stomp V4 is, just like its brother pushchairs, an affordable, full-featured stroller system with all the basic accessories included. Similar and heavily inspired by the Bugaboo Cameleon line in the area of the smaller front and larger rear wheels as well as the canopy shape, interchangeability, and its usability on both the seat unit and the bassinet configuration, the Stomp V4 is much more budget-friendly and therefore very popular mainly in its home country, the UK. The 4th generation is by far the cleanest in look while introducing sharper lines, a more sturdy - canvas-y canopy, and new chassis colors (a chrome or a bronze one, no black anymore). The color mix and match of the fabrics, leatherette covers, and chassis color make it very attractive, looks-wise, and a benefit making you think about it are also the numerous accessories included in the pram bundle: a seat liner, a changing bag (always full black with the V4), a footmuff, car window sun shade covers, and a car seat (with an Isofix base).
The seat and the carrycot fabric sets (all premium-looking and with UPF 50+ protective factor) are attached onto the same frame. This will save you storage space but will need some work to pass from one part to the other as the child grows. The bucket-type, ergonomic (L-shaped) seat unit can be fully adjusted to a completely reclined position by tilting it as a whole - and it's also reversible to parent- or world-face. The foldable carrycot is spacious for your newborn and can be completed with car seat adapters and an Ickle Bubba Galaxy car seat to form a full 3in1 travel system.

Best Deals for Ickle Bubba Stomp V4
Parent reviews of the Ickle Bubba Stomp V4
- reasonable price
- it is very sturdy
- the canopy doesn’t extend further but it provides good amount of sun coverage
- I like how the handle folds up and all the way down
- the rose gold steel does not fade at all
- the handle bar is made of faux leather which makes it look expensive plus it is removable
- the basket is really spacious
- easy to maneuver
- good braking system
- the suspension is really good, whenever we stroll outdoors in a rough terrain, my daughter sleeps soundly
- I heavily dislike the fabric. Although the material is thick it feels uncomfy, rough and somehow itchy
- they have limited colors to choose from. I like the combination of black and rose gold but they should’ve expand their color options
- it is bulky and really heavy. My husband despises loading and unloading it from our car. It occupies our entire trunk space
- the foot muff is too tight on my daughter who is only 8 months old
- the padding is not too soft and comfy. My daughter can’t bear sitting on it for an hour. So, we replaced it with stroller cushions we bought from Amazon
- the nappy shoulder bag that comes with it is quite bulky and it packs less.
First time parents and we don’t know any better. We bought the travel system or the bundle as this was the only known brand that is cheaper amongst the others. It was really helpful cause we don’t have to buy things separately. And luckily, we bought it on sale.
