Im struggling to work out why the top teather is required when the seat is rearward facing? When you tighten it, it seems to just lift the rear of the base of the seat off the actual carseat.
It helps stop the seat from rotating forwards if you were in a crash, as it would hit the front seat and endanger the child. You don't need to tighten it so that it lifts the base up, just tighten it so it's not loose.
Hi. Do you know how heavy this car seat is in kgs? Just wondering if it is easy to get in and out and use in taxi's or if anyone else wished to borrow it and Can you use the carseat without clipping into isofix fixtures also ( just by belting it into car) cant find information online about it. I will be mainly having it fixed in my car but if it is used by anyone else i am not sure if they will have the isofix fittings in car or if it was compatible with their car. X
I've just upgraded to this car seat and it's very light, all in one piece and much easier than my old one!
Heyy! I am so sorry for the slow reply I hadn't seen this comment đ
I cannot find the weight of the car seat anywhere but it's not heavy at all. I haven't removed mine since we've installed it into my car purely because my car is the family car but my mum has bought the same car seat and has said it's really easy to get in and out of her car which she's done quite regularly now. With regards to if it can be secured just using the seatbelt and not the isofix I'm honestly not sure and I'd hate to advise wrong so might be best to message Ickle bubba or look at the user manuals on their website to see if you can or not. There's also a list of cars compatible with this carseat on their website which might be helpful (I'll drop the link below). Sorry if this wasn't much help and I hope you get a car seat sorted soon đ€ x

Hi Iâve just purchased this seat and it came yesterday so Iâve tried setting it up today for my little one. Sheâs just turned 1. But it looks extremely padded and uncomfortable for her. Do you know what has to be done/ when you remove the inserts. I saw the manual says upto 13kg sheâs current 8.6kg but she just doesnât look comfortable at all
Heyy!! We had the same thing. The inner head rest bit literally wedged my little ones head and he didn't seem comfortable at all so we removed it and he's much happier (he's 9kg for reference). Obviously that's just how we've done it as opposed to advice but I hope that helps? X
â @@donnagriffin7968thatâs great thank you! Itâs been driving me mad trying to alter bits thinking it isnât going to be any good. My girls 8.6kg so very near the same as your boy so I will do the same. Did you keep the back and lower piece in with the wedge also and just un popped the head one? Thanks again x
@@Emily-qt3fm you're welcome đ yeah all I've done so far is unpop the inner head rest and he's happy so I'm happy đ hope you get on okay with it x
Hi did you order the "single" or "rotating 2 pack" from their website? Its unclear if the "single" comes with the rotating base. Very affordable at only ÂŁ119 hense why im unsure. Thanks.
Hey, we bought it as a 2 pack purely because one of our little boys grandparents wanted to get the same car seat as us so it made sense to buy two at the same time. The car seat and the rotating base as far as I know don't come apart, it's just one solid unit and I can't imagine it'd be different from buy 1 Vs 2 but I'm sure customer service can help with any questions you'd have :) hope this helps!
Hi, can you also do a video on how to install it facing forward ? Do you just rotate it or is there something else ?
Hey! My little one is still rear facing so I haven't even looked at forward facing setups yet but below is the link to Ickle bubba's user guides which includes the setups. Hope this helps. icklebubba.com/pages/user-guides?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAn-2tBhDVARIsAGmStVlhHhi8OJASo_DnjP0-MoFsRd4ZrHEXT2xUy_SQQqhZrut9RITGaiQaAp-rEALw_wcB
Hi does the car seat recline to a good sleeping position when forward facing please? All babies do is sleep in the car đ
Hey! The seat has 3 recline positions. My little one is still rear facing but he's pretty reclined and sleeps all the time in it. Hope this helps âșïž
Hi. Does your buckle sits in an angle? Iâve purchased this car seat because it had good reviews. Only one review said that the buckle strap in between their legs is too long hence itâs too high and sits on babies chest. I thought nothing of it and purchased it. Now I see what the one star reviewer meant. Once my 1 year old is strapped in the buckle presses on his stomach in an angle and almost touches his sternum. Also the side strap digs in in an angle too. Do you find the same issue?
Hey! Thankyou for your comment.
Firstly I am so sorry for my delayed reply.
We haven't found any issues with the straps and I've not seen anyone else mention about them either. Does adjusting the length of the straps by pushing the little button help sort the side straps digging in? I'm really sorry to hear it's not comfortable for your little one :( Ickle bubba customer service may be able to offer some guidance perhaps? I hope you get it sorted x
The extra belt thats in the bag where does that clip in and is it required?
Hey, thanks for your comment! It's the safety tether that clips into the boot (there's a little metal hook in the boot of the car). Yes it's 100% required. The following link goes to their safety user manuals so hopefully that'll be helpful with regards to installation đ

Did yours not come with the isofix base? I don't want to be messing around with the belt. And I've just ordered one.
Hey, yes so it's an isofix base but also has that additional strap that feeds through into the boot. The seat comes as a whole unit rather than a separate isofix base if that makes sense? It has the little green indicators to show when it's clicked in properly as well which is always helpful. Hope this helps!
Yep. Thanks for the help!
You're not required to use the strap r u? I dont c the point in gettin an isofix if u still avto mess about with the strap. My other isofix seat has a strap bt its optional use
Glad you asked this. I just ordered and need to use isofix
@@amberm4884Top tether is not optional use. I would recheck your manual as this is a really common error but unfortunately it can be a really dangerous one.
Hi I am considering to buying this but if I strap using the tether to clip in will this stop the seat from rotating? My son is 8 months still back facing just not sure if it was restrict from turning the car seat?đŹ
Hey!! Congratulations on your little one đ„° so this particular car seat has the isofix fixing and the safety tether. While the tether is clipped in you cannot rotate the seat but I just unclip, rotate, put my little one in/out, rotate back to back facing and clip the tether back in so it's not much of a hassle at all :) I hope this helps? X
@@donnagriffin7968 Thankyou! Is it straightforward the clip part of the tether and as the child grows would he still need that tether part?x
Does it rotate from forward facing?
Hey! Yes it rotates 360 âșïž
Hi I can see youâve had this car seat a while now. I ordered this yesterday as my daughter is close to outgrowing her current one. I was just wondering if you still recommended it ( bit late as Iâve already ordered haha ) but have you got used to strapping the teather each time?x
Hey! Firstly congratulations on your little one đ„°
I would definitely still recommend it. We have no complaints and the safety tether strap is no issue at all, just part of putting our little one in. His Nanna has also bought this one for days that she has him and she finds it really easy to use as well which is great :) I really hope you get on alright with yours đ€ x
@@donnagriffin7968 Thankyou so much!đ©·
Just a quick question, are you able to close your car door with the seat sideways? As a lot of the time Iâm on my own with baby and that would be the easiest way to leave the car seat for when I next go out? X
@@shanialouise7366 yes I can shut the door when the seat is sideways which is so handy đ x
@@shanialouise7366 I always leave it sideways so that when I put little one in next it'll be in the right position as rotating the seat is a two handed job :) x
Hi, first time mum here! Can this car seat be used without the isofix base? As the isofix base will be in my husbands car but my mother in law has our baby now and then, will she be able to use it without the isofix base? Xx
Heyy! Congratulations on your little one đ„° Unfortunately this particular car seat is fixed to the isofix base rather than clipping it in and I don't think there's a way of getting it apart. I have it in my car permanently but one of my little boys grandparents has bought the same car seat and has said it's really easy to get in and out if that would be an option for you? Hope this helps âșïž xx
Hi, can i take the car seat out of the isofix base?
Hey! So sorry for the slow reply. As far as I know you cannot take it out of the isofix base but always worth asking Ickle Bubba direct as they might be able to recommend something to help :)
Why does this car seat wriggle so much up and down. Iâve followed instructions and all videos show Iâve done it right but itâs wriggling so much!!!
Hey! Thankyou for your comment âșïž firstly I am so sorry for the slow reply. Ours will move if we give it a wiggle but once little one is in and the safety tether is clipped in it doesn't wiggle for us. I think because it's fastened on one side of the seat (the isofix clips and the safety tether) it allows a bit of movement in the seat but it shouldn't be lots. I'm pretty sure you can adjust the length of the arms which clip into the isofix bits so perhaps they need adjusting? Sorry I hope that was helpful and I hope you get it sorted out :) failing this perhaps Ickle Bubba customer service can offer some support.
@@donnagriffin7968super strange because it genuinely lifts off the actual seat by a good few inches and the tether, itâs clipped in behind the seat, the clip is to the side of the car seat do by babyâs headrest is this meant to be like that!? Youâre supposed to unhook it every time baby is in or out the seat!?
Must you use the tether?
Hey, yes the tether must be used. Ickle Bubba have user guides for their car seats on their website (link below). Hope this helps.
icklebubba.com/pages/user-guides
I have just got this seat, is it supposed to lift of the actual car seat?
Heyy! What do you mean by lift off the car seat?
@donnagriffin7968 the base of the isofix lifts of the actual car seat when I tighten the straps. So there is a gap from the bottom if the isofix and the inbuilt seat of the car
@@christinagurney3557 are the straps too tight perhaps? Mine will lift slightly from the seat if I move it but once it's all clipped in and the safety tether is done up there isn't a gap between the car seat and the isofix. Perhaps contact the supplier/Ickle Bubba and see if they have any advice. Sorry I couldn't help more.
Eeekkkk this is wrong advice to the legal instruction booklet that comes with the seat .
Hey, sorry but not sure what you mean? No advice was given, just an unboxing and my personal review of the car seat đ
At 3 minutes 4 seconds . Pause the video you havnt clipped the belt behind the belt guide safety bracket .it's OK saying this is your personal view but on this one it's not OK. I came to find a video as a grandma and these seats and rules are so different these days but I had seen that bit of safety beforehand.
Not a knock on you to just be a keyboard moron but this is the only way I could let you know that little bit of safety really does need to be changed and other mums on here commenting their seat still wobbles may just need that tiny adjustment each side â€
These blinking seats are hard work for sure đ
