And to top it all off, it's perfect for those on a budget, as it's super affordable and half the price of a very popular travel pram that's loved by many mums around the country.
Posting on social media, the mum-of-one proudly showed off her latest Shein purchase, leaving many gobsmacked.
As she held up her Shein pram, which has a one-hand fold, she wrote: 'Just a girl with her Shein stroller.'
Clara then added: 'Only £70 yes please.'
Not only this, but she also confirmed: 'My son loves it, I love it.'
The savvy mum's Lightweight & Compact Travel Stroller was once £103.28, but is now just £75.48.
She claimed that it's great for 'easy travels ' and is very 'fancy.'
She praised its 'great cover for the sun ' and was impressed with the peek-a-boo window which provides 'extra air flow for those hot days.'
Not only does the pushchair have an adjustable seat and footrest, but it also comes complete with a mosquito net and a rain cover too.
Underneath, it has a large storage basket, and it's even got four shock absorbing wheels and swivel front wheels too.
I was horrified when I realised the £5 Shein pencil cases I bought for my kids contained hidden knives
It is said to be suitable for newborns to children aged 36 months, with a maximum load of 15kg.
Clearly overjoyed with her bargain buy, which is strikingly similar and £74.52 cheaper than the popular Joie Baby Pact Pro Stroller, which was once £200 but is now £150 from John Lewis, Clara described the Shein pram as her 'best purchase.'
Her TikTok clip, which was uploaded under the username @ claramiceli132, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 474,600 views, 21,400 likes and 204 comments.
Social media users were gobsmacked with Clara's Shein buy and many eagerly raced to the comments to express this.
One person said: 'It's actually really nice! Was not expecting that.'
What is Shein and is it legit?
Shein is an online-only fast-fashion retailer, based out of China, that has become a number one shopping destination for many around the world.
The company was valued at $66billion in 2023, dwarfing that of popular high street brands Zara and H&M.
The fashion retailer was founded in late 2008, by entrepreneur and marketing specialist Xu Yangtian, also known as Chris Xu.
Shein is a legitimate selling website and is not a phishing scam.
But you may receive a disappointing order or run into shipping issues if you order from the site, according to reviews.
There have been swathes of quality complaints, which makes sense when looking at the price tag.
Another added: 'You took one for the team on this and I love you for it.'
A third commented: 'You're the hero we all needed. God bless you queen.'
Meanwhile, someone else asked: 'Have you taken the little one out in it to see if it's sturdy?'
I had this four years ago to take on holiday - it's the best stroller I've ever bought

In response, Clara wrote back and confirmed: 'Yes, gone out three times so far and it's great! If you're living in the UK, you know what the roads are like.'
At the same time, one mum gasped: 'You are telling me that I paid €700 for the Joolz Aer+ stroller just because of the folding option when I could have just bought one from Shein??'
To this, Clara responded with a crying emoji and simply said: 'Yes.'
And it's clear that it's not just Clara who was happy with this Shein buy, as one mother beamed: 'I had this four years ago to take on holiday - it's the best stroller I've ever bought and still have it now in my car boot.'

Navy flagship HMS Prince of Wales leaves Australia during eight-month deployment
The fleet flagship has now set off for Japan in the next stop of its eight-month Indo-Pacific deployment. The £3 billion warship sailed from Portsmouth in April for the mission which involves visits with 40 countries across the Mediterranean, Middle East, south-east Asia, Japan and Australia. As the sun sets on HMS Prince of Wales, we bid farewell to @COMUKCSG after an incredible visit. The Carrier Strike Group's first return since 1997 has strengthened our partnership and deepened UK-Australia ties. Until we meet again 🇬🇧🇦🇺#UKAustralia #CSG25 @SarahMacFCDO — UK in Australia 🇬🇧🇦🇺 (@ukinaustralia) July 29, 2025 A Royal Navy spokesman said that the carrier had sailed from Darwin having taken part in the Talisman Sabre exercise as well as acting as a host for diplomatic visits, including from representatives of the indigenous Larrakia people. He said: 'The flagship hosted a string of senior British and Australian politicians, including Defence Secretary John Healey and Foreign Secretary David Lammy, his Australian counterpart Penny Wong and Deputy Prime Minister Richard Marles. 'The aircraft carrier has also served as the impressive setting for a business and industry event, discussing the growing importance of defence links between London and Canberra. 'And the 2,500-plus personnel in the task group have enjoyed down time to explore the largest city in Australia's Northern Territory.' Able Seaman Owen Altoft, an 18-year-old chef from Newcastle who is on his first deployment, said: 'It's an experience being out in Australia. 📸.@HMSPWLS in Darwin, Australia 🇦🇺#CSG25 | @COMUKCSG — Royal Navy (@RoyalNavy) July 28, 2025 'This deployment has been great – seeing what the world's like, seeing different places, cultures and food. It's what I signed up for. 'I tried kangaroo at the local food market and would try it again in a restaurant.' The Royal Navy spokesman said that the next stage of the deployment would involve combined air exercises with the carrier's F-35 jets and the Japanese navy. The Hon Pat Conroy MP visited @HMSPWLS while in Darwin. A great opportunity to demonstrate our joint capabilities, discuss partnerships and working together in the Indo-Pacific 🇦🇺🤝🇬🇧 #CSG25 #AUKUS — UK Carrier Strike Group (@COMUKCSG) July 29, 2025 He said: 'Both nations operate the same short take-off/vertical landing version of the stealth jet, the B variant, although Japan has not flown the fifth-generation strike fighter for quite as long as the UK.' Earlier in the deployment one of the stealth fighter jets was stranded at an airport in Kerala, India, after suffering mechanical issues. After the week-long exercise with Japan, the carrier will continue with its visit to the country while some vessels from the UK task group will head to South Korea.

'It took me seconds to say yes!': Lynsey Jones on her 'shock' redundancy and new start with Ambassador
Lynsey Jones was devastated after being made redundant by Balkan Holidays in April. Not knowing what her professional future looked like meant anxiety started to creep in – and to compound matters, she had just discovered she was pregnant. Jones talks TTG's Harry Kemble through how she got back on track. Lynsey Jones was so admired and respected by agents at Balkan Holidays that she was affectionally known as 'Lynsey Balkan'. Yet, it wasn't just agents who were fond of her. The specialist handed her several promotions during her six-year stint. Jones started as a regional sales manager in 2019 before being promoted to national sales manager in 2022 and then head of sales and brand in November last year. However, in April, Balkan suddenly closed its UK business after nearly 60 years, cancelled all forward bookings and made around 20 UK-based staff redundant – including Jones, who at this point had started telling colleagues she was pregnant. 'I loved it at Balkan but they decided ultimately it was not financially viable to keep operating here,' says Jones. 'While it was a shock to be made redundant, it wasn't a surprise.' 'This is a great move for me' As Jones came to terms with losing her beloved job, she was determined not to let the inevitable stress affect her unborn baby boy due to arrive in October. Fortunately, Jones' army of industry friends rallied around her at one of the lowest ebbs. Ambassador Cruise Line's interim head of trade, Karen Cameron, got in touch to offer her a lifeline. The pair had got to know one another at Scottish Passenger Agents' Association events over the years. "I was made redundant on the Thursday, spoke to Karen on the Friday and then signed my contract on the Tuesday,' recalls Jones. 'I thought about Ambassador's offer for about two seconds!' Jones reveals she was contacted by other travel companies about working for them but only ever gave Ambassador's offer of a four-month contract serious thought despite not having any significant cruise sector experience on her extensive CV, which features spells with the likes of Skiworld, Neilson, Tui and, of course, Balkan. "I was approached by other companies as well but – no pun intended – Ambassador has made a lot of waves recently,' she says with a smile, when asked why she decided to join the cruise sector. "After being made redundant by Balkan Holidays, I just felt cruise was the right step for me. All the feedback from agents I've spoken to before was always cruise, cruise, cruise. I feel Ambassador is a great move for me.' Jones adds: 'I thought cruise – generally speaking – was a lot harder for agents to sell. It felt like I used very complicated systems to sell cruise holidays when I was at Tui.' Prior to joining Tui, Jones spent 12 years managing ski resort hotels in the Alps, meaning she is nearly fluent in French. So, have her linguistic skills helped Ambassador following its merger with French cruise operator Compagnie Francaise de Croisieres (CFC) in January? Jones claims colleagues only discovered her secret talent in July – almost halfway through her short-term contract, which ends just before her due date and the start of Ambassador's debut Caribbean programme. 'I did speak French in a meeting in London with two French colleagues the other day,' she explains. 'To be fair, I've not really needed to [use it] – but never say never.' 'Ambassador investing a lot of money' Jones says she's 'loving' her time at Ambassador. 'I feel so lucky Ambassador took away much of the stress by employing me quickly," she continues. "It sounds cheesy, but Ambassador saw something in me. It's great to feel at home straight away. I've honestly never been part of such a big team. "The other day, we worked out the team had 235 years' travel industry experience with the likes of [national account manager] Louise Tansey, [business development executive] Debbie Ballantyne and Karen.' Her new colleagues are constantly checking in with heavily pregnant Jones to make sure she is comfortable. 'Last week, we were in London, and we had a team meal out – they were asking if I wanted help with the stairs, if I was tired, if I wanted to go home. They're constantly checking in on me." On the day Jones speaks to TTG about her new job, she is visiting a Hays Travel branch in Rochdale with plans to meet agents in Bury and Halifax soon after. 'There's a lot of positivity around the [Ambassador] brand from all the agents that I'm visiting,' Jones notes. 'I think the agents see how much effort comes from the trade team. Clearly, we're investing a lot of money into the brand.' Following Ambassador's merger with CFC, a 10-departure Caribbean programme was announced – part of the line's first-ever fly cruise programme. To help promote the programme and support agents selling it, Ambassador hired 19 reps from sales agency 3For in addition to its own 16-strong in-house trade sales team. Jones says: 'I think Ambassador has done a great job. We're turning the high street purple. And we're offering a completely different Caribbean product to other cruise lines.' Jones reveals she's using her contacts to good effect and is currently working with Virgin Atlantic – one of Ambassador's airline partners for the programme – and Visit Barbados ahead of the October launch. In addition, she has distributed research questionnaires to agents to understand what tools they need to sell Ambassador's new Caribbean sailings. 'Agents have been asking for more posters and training so we're doing a myth-busting session to educate the trade about our new products,' Jones reveals. The burning question on my lips though is what does Jones plan to do when she resumes her successful travel career after maternity leave? After all, Jones has now had time to consider her next move. Plus, being unattached professionally speaking means she won't be tempted to check her work emails during the long-night feeds in the months ahead. 'Hopefully I can come back to Ambassador after nine months,' she says. 'It has all worked out in the end.'
