I also bought and icandy and I can honestly say it is the worst thing I have ever bought in my life.  I have also ended up buying a Maclaren quest and now own a bugaboo, both of which are fantastic. 

The icandy is heavy, bulky, and the wheels at the front do not work properly - they do not swivel so you end up getting stuck in the road !  The shopping basket is totally inaccessible in carry cot mode and the attachments for the car seat are so cheap and stiff that it is impossible to lift a baby into and out of the chassis - absolutely dreadful product.   I have also had to return mine once already - the chassis was faulty.

 What is worse, is that when I wrote to icandy to complain, they have refused to answer any of my queries at all!  I am now having to take it back to the retailer to ask for a refund.

Don't buy it!

I have an ICandy Apple and love it.

• It is heavy and bulky but  it is sturdy and solid.
• Fits in the boot of my mini.
• Takes about 30 seconds to disassemble and reassemble
• Can be folded with the pushchair seat on in forward facing mode.
• We too had a problem with the front wheels and were told that it was a manufacturing fault. The wheels were replaced immediately by our retailer.
• I can push it with one hand. (although only on flat surfaces)
• Our daughter had to use pushchair seat at 5 months and she loves it far more than the carrycot.
• Can sleep virtually flat in pushchair or sit up and watch the world go by facing us or facing forward.
• Easy to recline the seat.
• Can be used with the maxicosi car seat
• Pushchair straps can pinch skin - if you hold the fastners away from the connection this isnt a problem.
• Shopping basket is huge! Accommodates lots of shopping and a changing bag.
• Foot Muff keeps baby really warm in sub zero temp. (We live in Canada!)
• Cheaper and less common than a Bugaboo
• Gets lots of admiring comments
• Daddy loves it too!

Hi,

 I had a quinny, but now had our second child, and still havent got a double buggy. One of the best things for me about the iCandy pear is that it can take a car seat - I already have a maxi cosi from the quinny, and since I drive a lot, thats important to me.

We went to a shop to try one out, and i was worried about how comfortable my toddler would be, but that looks fine. Only thing is, I couldnt fold it!!! Saleslady got it, my husband got it, I must have tried over 100 times, no exageration, and it only folded twice, and by mistake, so I couldnt repeat what I had just done to do it again! Help - I cant buy a buggy that I cant fold, but am so stuck - its a logistical nightmare to go anyplace with 2 kids, ages 2 months and 20 months, and only 1 buggy!!!

I can go back and have another try folding it, and if yes, its really what I want...so all those people who say its easy to fold - how???

Hi all, could anyone help. Im looking to buy just a rear wheel for my icandy apple as i have a very annoying puncture and no amount of repair kit has solved it? Could anyone point me in the right direction??

best regards

Stephen Jeffrey

I would contact icandy - i have spoken to them as I needed a wheel replacement - they were quite helpful and although I had to chase them up they did send out a new wheel.
