'MY DREAMS ARE ANSWERED'
Strengths:
Very very very light travel system. Forward and rearward seat unit and very easy to do. Moves so easily. Nice colour
Weaknesses:
Small shopping basket. Had to find a national stockist
Overall:
Answer to my dreams. I am not what you call a heavyweight by any imagination so the iCandy Cherry is perfect as its so light and very easy to fold.

'LIGHTWEIGHT AND COMPACT'
Strengths:
Very light, easy to put together and take apart, suitable from birth with the carrycot which I also use as a day bed for my baby at home, very compact and great manoeuvrability which is useful when out shopping, the maxicosi car seat clips on so easily, and it also has a huge basket in comparison to most other prams.
Weaknesses:
Can't fold down the chassis with the parasol attached (but that's hardly a big issue!)
Overall:
Originally I was positive I was going to buy the iCandy Apple, but after weighing up the options and looking at what I will use the pram for and where I would be taking it, I decided that the Cherry would be a lot better suited to me as it is so light so I can carry it downstairs on my own (we live in a first floor apartment) and we can also fit it into our Fiat Punto with no problem. The carrycot must be very comfy as my son can sleep for hours in it without even waking up if we are out and about for the day so that is great for me! The simplicity with which each bit (ie Carrycot, Pushchair and carseat) clip onto the chassis is fantastic.

'FAB AND REALLY EASY TO USE.'
Strengths:
Very light, easy to fold and put up. Chassis and chair fit in my boot fine and I only have a Fiesta.
Weaknesses:
Had problem with a wheel coming off, but the shop sorted it and has been fine since.
Overall:
I love the cherry, I've just changed the carrycot over to the pushchair and still loving it. Its definately value for money, looks great and is so good to push.

'WANT MY MONEY BACK'
Strengths:
LIGHT WEIGHT, EASY TO USE when it works
Weaknesses:
I bought the ICandy Cherry £210. Its light, its agile, easy to fold, a smooth ride. To good to be true? I was shopping one day, it was coming up to Xmas, I took the pram out of the car and opened it, just as always, no force no roughness, and pop!! Out came the button that you use to open it with!!!

So, I called ICandy and they advised to take it back to the shop where I learnt that there have been a few problems with that model; apparently there have been problems with the button but there is also a trouble with the front wheels. They are replacing them free of charge no questions asked.

However, because they have to order them in, I was left with out a pram and it took nearly 3 weeks.

After 5 months my daughter was trying to sit up and see the world!! I but her pram in the up-right position and was crossing the road when it just dropped down in to the laying position, she still was not able to hold her completely and I have to admit it scared me.

Again, I called ICandy and they advised to take it back to the shop , this time it took 1 month.
Overall:
I have looked on the web and read some reviews regarding the Cherry, and I have come to the conclusion that I would like my money back. I, thought that the seat attachment were a bit hard to remove but after reading the reviews I believe that it is not my fault and I am not prepared to put my child in to harms way, so I bought a Bugaboo Cameleon.

ICandy have not replied to my letters.

'BRILLIANT!!!'
Strengths:
Soo easy to put up and down! Lightweight... everything about it is brilliant.
Weaknesses:
can't put both the chasis and carrycot in the boot of my corsa, carrycot has to go on the back seat. Not too much of a prob tho.
Overall:
I love my icandy cherry and so far not had any problems with it.

'LIGHT, NICE COLOUR'
Strengths:
Good quality
Light
Carry Cot
Weaknesses:
No extra handle height
Overall:
I have recently purchased the iCandy Cherry from a retailer at the Baby show in the Excel. I met the iCandy man there and raised my concerns over what I read on this board and he assured me that all problems are now solved. He showed me the difference between the old and the new wheels and between the old and the new seat unit and I was impressed enough to buy. I will let you know how I get on….
