“Mini Kids Warrington - best deal on iCandy”
Written on: 24/05/2013 by Yummymummycheshire
I bought the iCandy pram from Mini-Kids and they went out of their way to demonstrate it and show me how to set it up. They also gave me the best deal and will deliver anywhere in the country. I love the pram because it looks classy and trendy and is very hard-wearing. Would definitely recommend it. (read more)

“ICandy Apple is the Daddy of Prams...”
Written on: 21/03/2012 by Mel26
I don't understand the hype with the Peach edition. Its so miniature looking that it looks strange rather than cute. I think think the Apple is much more stylish in terms of design and size. I also love that you can change up the hood and footmuffs with bright funky colours. Also, It is not that heavy as others say. The only shame is one tyre was punctured but I guess all Prams with air filled tyres will get that problem. Having said that I think air tyres give a comfier ride for the Baby... (read more)
“LOVE ICANDY AND LOVE MY APPLE JOGGER!”
Written on: 09/02/2012 by Natdan
I just wanted to say I LOVE my icandy - I think people only write reviews when they have a problem but never write anything when things are great - so Im taking the time to have my say. I bought my apple jogger for my first child, my daughter Annie May - I didnt really have any help around me at this time, so was in a sea of pushchairs without a clue! I did research on the internet and was more confused after that then I was before going on! So i thought, i know I will go into a shop and I... (read more)
“Poor quality construction, poor quality customer service.”
Written on: 03/02/2012
I purchased a black 09 iCandy Apple 3 Wheel jogger pushchair with Maxi Cosi car seat and carrycot from a baby store about 15 miles from me as you can't buy online. I thought this would give me a good interface between seller / manufacturer and myself in the event of a problem. This was wrong. The pram was ok whilst my little girl was small. I used the carrycot and it was very nice. Problems arose after the first year when the front jogger wheel encountered problems. It tipped when going down... (read more)
“iCandy apple is a treat”
Written on: 31/01/2012 by sandrawelch (1 review written)
I have found the apple a lot heavier than any other stroller I, or even my friends, have owned previously. This makes it feel very strudy and durable, but on the flip side it isn't the easiest to get push round the supermarket, especially one-handedly with a todler! On the whole, I haven't minded the weight though, it's been a great choice for us as we enjoy long walks and so have subjected it to rough terrains often! The tires can be prone to puncturing but general upkeep was expected and... (read more)

Written on: 29/09/2011
I have had my apple for almost a year now and am still extremly happy with it. I am currently 7 months pregnant with my second, and looking into buying the pear converter to turn it into a double. Thought I'd have my say and I fear the apple isn't being wholly appreciated in the way it should! There is a knack to collapsing the apple, and it is quite a heavy chassis. The grandparents really cant get to grips with the design, but for my personal use I've had no qualms whatsoever. It has a... (read more)

I bought an apple which initially was great until our son grew, then it all went wrong, my friends always laughed as they knew I was coming before turning the corner the chassis would squeak so loudly. It sounded cheap and became difficult to control.
I decided to buy a mountain buggy urban after lots of research, my son who is very tall for his age still loves it and takes lots of bribes to get him out.
Best advise borrow a mates child who is 10 + months old then go pram shopping, before...

I bought an Apple icandy for my 3 month old and have never looked back. It is so much easier to push, turn around in shops and is NOT heavy as some people say! It's light, roomy and stylish.
It's easy to take apart and fold up in the car. We also have turned the seat round so that the baby can face us and face forward.
Some people say they would not recommend it, but then use it again for their second child!! Says it all really!!

Written on: 22/03/2011
I bought an icandy apple fours years ago and I wouldn't recommend it to anybody. It started off as a brilliant pram, that was really easy to steer, however, as my son got bigger (and heavier) the chassis just couldn't cope and it became really difficult to push - always veering off to the side - and my arms would hurt by the time I got home from my walk.
I'm now using the pram again for my second child, but now that she has grown out of pram top I'm moving to a bugaboo bee as it is so...

I love my iCandy Apple. I've had 3 children now ( and 3 different prams ) and I've ended up buying a replacement pushchair within 4 months of the baby being born, but my 3rd daughter is 17 months old and I am still using my iCandy because it's brilliant.
It pushes so easy. The adjustable handle height is great, I love how she can still face me.
It's the best pram/pushchair I've ever owned and I've had many! I've recommended it to all my pregnant friends!!

I love my iCandy apple jogger, it is fantastic I only wish the product was around when I had my first two children. Little Louis has plenty of room in the carry cot and I cannot wait for the seat unit to come out with its red hood and snuggle. The service I received from the store was superb they knew everything about the product and were able to answer all of the questions that my wife and I had. The stroller looks great and I am really proud to say that I have bought a british product.... (read more)

Shocking quality, poorly made product with appaling customer service. If this is what we should expect from a british made product then I for one, and I suspect many others will be turning to 'foriegn competitors' as previously mentioned!!!!!!!
Icandy do not deal with you direct and refuse to resolve problems. After only a few months the chasis creaks and stearing vears off to one side leaving you pushing a pram which feels unstable. Hood on stroller hardly offers any shade to the baby (the...

We've had the icandy apple for just over a month now and it gets better every day and with every use. The steering is delightful and the pram folds easily, fitting into our car boot and the small space by the front door of our apartment with ease. It terms of looks it can't get much better, with a scarlet hood and fleece liner it's so cool and cosy. We bought the apple to replace another brand we were always unhappy with and should have done so last year.

Icandy Peach
The design, the features and the ease of use of the Icandy Peach really appealed to me. The waiting time for the Peach was quite long (the baby arrived before the buggy!). I am pleased with my Icandy, however their customer service is a bit lacking. I wasnt told I needed adapters for the Maxi Cosi car seat by the local stockists. The order was placed for the adapters but after numerous phone calls to the store I kept getting reassurances that the adapters would arrive soon. ...

I have the 3 wheel jogger Apple pushchair and I'm really glad that we spent the extra money on this system as it has been fantastic. It looks great, is nice and sturdy, easy to clean, easy to handle, easy to put up and down (after a bit of practice at first) and my daughter is always comfy and naps well in it. It is used for a one hour walk every day and then shopping etc and copes equally well with rough terrain as it does around the shops.

We have've had the Apple for nearly a year now and we are about to upgrade to the Pear as I am now due for the second time and I thought I would share my thoughts. I have never had an ounce of trouble with either the carry cot or the stroller. The carry cot is deep and lasted my first child for nearly eight months. When I finished with it was able to fold flat until I thought I next needed it. The suspension is very good but I do need to keep the tyres inflated. I get loads of positive... (read more)

Really great travel system. I did go through a few stores and ended up with a Baby store in St Albans. The service was very good and they took me around the full range. I spotted the iCandy Apple straight away and fell in love with the looks. It is conservative in a stylish way. I liked that I could mix and match the hood and the liners and I purchased two flavour packs as I like a change.
The carry cot was huge and deep and it can be folded away afterwards. I really like the fact that it...

I wanted a full travel system that would last me for a few years. As a first time mum i did not realise how many different prams, pushchairs and travel systems were available.

When your icandy apple arrives you'll find it hard to keep your hands off it! It's a very aesthetic pushchair and very spacious for your little one.
However it is a heavy system and bulky; not the best for putting in the car and taking shopping etc - quite back breaking!
It is also heavy to maneouvre; unlike the Bugaboo, which I am not keen on for its looks but it does handle beautifully!

When choosing our travel system, we were told that the I-Candy Apple had been built to incorporate the best bits of the Quinny Buzz and the Bugaboo, and fell in a similar price bracket. We've been really pleased with it so far (though with a 5 month old baby we still haven't progressed from the carrycot and car seat). Despite other reviews, it's easy to collapse after a little bit of practice :) It copes relatively well with rough tracks (with wheels locked) and feels safe and sturdy. The... (read more)

I like the iCandy for several reasons. It is sturdy and easy to put up and down. I don't find any problems at all with trapped fingers (as an earlier reviewer suggested) as it's just knowing where to put your hands when lifting it.

Written on: 18/07/2012
I have the same problem with our ICandy apple jogger purchased over 2 yrs ago. From the very beginning we have had issues with the 360 swivel. This results in the wheel effectively jarring and makes the buggy come to a jolt stop! You usually have to manually turn the wheel back to position in order to correct. The basket underneath the buggy has struggled with the weight of a few groceries plus a changing bag. When there is extra weight in the basket, the weight of the basket partially rests on the front wheel. The repeated friction cased by this has resulted in a hole on the basket, and an irritating rubbing/dragging sound while pushing. Furthermore as baby has now grown into a toddler and is naturally heavier, we are also experiencing a substantial amount of wobble. The buggy is now starting to collapse when the wheel jars. I too wish I had purchased another brand.
