this is absolutley the WORST pushchair i have ever come across
we bought this for our new born and then converted into a pushchair and i can’t think of one redeeming feature
the foam on the handle bars came off in the first 2 weeks
the front wheels keep locking so makes it impossible to life up onto side steps and pavements
i have actually felt frightened walking across roads and not being able to life the pushchair up over pavements - its dangerous, desgined very badly, and most of all its so so so heavy.
DO NOT BUY !!!!

A friend in Shrewsbury just had a baby, this would be right up their street. Looks kinda cool too. I’ll send him a link.

I loved my icandy when it first arrived, it has lots of good points ie extendible handle bars, forward & rear facing but….
Now it’s a different story. I can now longer use it in four wheel mode as the front wheels twist and lock making it impossible to move forward. This happened to me several times whilst crossing the road. This is so dangerous, and I know that I am not the only person to have suffered this problem with their icandy. So we started using it in the three wheel mode (after complaining to icandy and being told it is not their responsibility?!) but this is also dangerous as it often tips because the buggy is SO heavy.
I can’t lie my son down in his pushchair as his head would be lower than his feet and the straps are still ridiculously big even though he is a year old now, it’s useless.
The over priced parasol broke after approx. 5 uses.
I can not recommend this product, and I wish I had chosen something else for myself.

After almost 2 years use we have found that this is absolutely the best pushchair you could buy. If purchased from an iCandy stockist they will fully demonstrate how this superb product folds down…stay with it Sarah…it really is worth every penny and no other product that we have come across comes near. Since we have the Pear now also and are loving that too we wrote to icandy to congratulate them and it was great to learn that to top off everything they are a British company! Really satisfied.

This is absolutely the worst pushchair you could buy. It is extremely difficult to collapse down and not the kind of stress you need with a small baby. DO NOT BUY!

We have been using the Apple for 18 months now and it was definitely the best purchase that we made for our new (then)baby. It has been faultless and still looks like new despite many miles use! Your review is very good but it does miss out on a really significant feature…we have discovered now that we are expecting again that we can now convert our apple to a pear and that is going to be absolutely fantastic. I actually wrote a letter of commendation to icandy and to make this product even better they told me that this is all down to British ingenuity.
