I’ve been looking for a lightweight stroller for a while as my kids are now 3 and almost 2, so we don’t always need a buggy when we’re out, but it’s useful to have one for stragglers and naps-on-the-go. My trusty Silver Cross Pioneer was starting to become a bit cumbersome, and to be honest, a bit of a space-stealer.

It’s served us well for more than three years with two babies, but we decided we needed something more compact. Well let me introduce you to the Aries Prime Auto-Fold Stroller by Ickle Bubba , which was exactly what we were after. It’s a seriously light stroller , weighing in at just 6.



1kg, and it auto-folds seamlessly at the push of a button. Its folded size is perfectly compact, and it’s easy to tuck it away in the house or sling it in the car boot without taking all your storage space. I was nervous that a smaller stroller wouldn’t be as robust or as comfortable for my little ones - but this buggy has a padded extra-large seat which is perfect for toddlers , with a multi-position seat recline and adjustable leg rest, so it’s comfy whether your little ones are sitting up and looking around or lying back for a snooze.

It also features front and rear suspension for light, agile steering and PU wheels for extra shock absorption, so it’s a smooth ride - something I wasn’t expecting from such a lightweight stroller . The Aries Prime Auto-Fold Stroller comes with a carry bag for transportation, cup holder, a buggy organiser for when you want to ditch the changing bag, a small storage basket underneath, a rain cover and footwarmer for winter. The hood offers vital UPF 50+ sun protection for summer and includes a viewing hood to keep an eye on your little one.

It also comes in four colours, black, grey, sage green and biscuit . The stroller is suitable for kids up to four so should last us a few years yet - and I’d recommend it to toddler parents who want to make the swap to a more lightweight and compact buggy. It’s a great buy at a good price point, and it’s even better with Black Friday savings .

The Aries Prime Auto-Fold Stroller is usually £199 but Ickle Bubba is offering 15% off on everything for Black Friday - so it’s available to buy for £169.15 now. And you can get an additional 5% off when joining Bubble, so you can get the price down even further to £160.

69. Buy yours here . And at an even lower price point, the Aries Auto-Fold Stroller - which is the same stroller but without the extra accessories that comes with the Prime, is £135.

15 with the 15% off for Black Friday (RRP: £159.00), and £128.39 if you take another 5% off with Bubble.
