Ickle Bubba Venus Prime Double
Pros / Cons
Pros
- Two full seats and included newborn cocoon make it more flexible than bare-bones budget doubles.
- Lighter, more modern feel than many heavier twin chassis makes everyday use less punishing.
Cons
- Side-by-side width still creates real lift, doorway, and aisle friction despite the lighter frame.
- Mid-range price only makes sense if you want a fuller twin setup rather than the cheapest possible double.

Ickle Bubba Venus Prime Double is easier to justify for families who want a double stroller that still tries to stay lighter, more compact, and easier to live with than the heaviest twin setups. The separately adjustable seats and included newborn cocoon are what make it more flexible than a bare-bones cheap double, especially if one child is smaller and the other already needs a more upright seat.
Who It Suits Best
Venus Prime Double suits twins or close siblings when you want two real seats but do not want to jump straight from cheap tandems to the heaviest premium double platforms. It is a better fit for families who want a more complete twin setup without going all the way to the biggest price tier.
Why It Works In Everyday Use
The separately adjustable seats and included newborn cocoon are what make it more flexible than a bare-bones cheap double, especially if one child is smaller and the other already needs a more upright seat. The fact that it feels lighter and more modern than many twin chassis also matters once you are loading it in and out regularly.
Main Tradeoffs
The obvious cost is that width still does not disappear just because the stroller is lighter and more compact than some rivals. Doors, lifts, and shop aisles still matter, and the price is higher than the simpler budget doubles. It only really makes sense if you want a fuller package than the cheapest doubles provide.
What To Double-Check Before Buying
Double-check whether your real problem is twin comfort or the narrowest possible double. Venus Prime Double works when two proper seats and a more complete newborn setup matter more than keeping the footprint as tight as possible.
