i-candy will not allow them to be sold online so there is no price competition and as they want to be sure of customer service. And proof of that:

This is not a problem with the i-candy now but after having the pram for a few months and Alfie was growing, we had problems with the front wheels, once you stopped they would not manouvre, so you would have to lift the from of the pram to let them loose and then start to move - well we contacted i-candy as this was an obvious floor in the design. They told us no problem, contact who we bought the pram off and ask them to order you a new set of wheels, so we did. We recieved them no problem, they were solid and bigger. Now as some of you may be aware, they have bought out the i-candy pear, which obviously will be carrying more weight, so needed a slightly different design for the front wheels, well these wheels are now standard on the i-candy apple, making the i-candy perfect again.

We also have had a reply within 24hrs every time we contacted them with enquiries about other products. They really do offer GREAT customer service!

I forgot to mention, we also have the carseat which clips into the main frame as easy as anything, so when out and using the car when Alfie was younger or even now for short trips, we just take the frame and carseat! x

i went pram shopping yesterday and i saw the icandi apple( the one that can go to 4 wheels to 3 wheels) and the shop assistant said that this year they are putting the price up quite alot and u wont get the spare wheel to make it a 3 wheeled pram.
so u have to choose between a 3 wheeler or a 4 wheeler.

I just couldn't decide on whether to go for the icandy apple or the quinny buzz they're both pretty similar but in the end I went for the Quinny Buzz in black.



I love that I can pop the back wheels (which are pretty big) on and off in a flash, this makes the frame very compact and I can store it pretty much anywhere, at the moment its in my wardrobe



I love the maxi cosi car seat, it pops in and out of the quinny buzz frame nice and easy and it comes in lots of funky colours if you shop around, we got it in penguin.



We also brought the easy base which always stays in your car and you literally pop the car seat in and out of the base. This means no messing around with seat belts every single time you go out in the car..

I haven't brought the dreami carry cot, still deciding whether to go for that or not.. Not sure if I will get much use out of it..

One down side, once I start using it I might find more, but the 'buzz box' which is a little storage bag which attaches to the buzz is pretty small and not suitable to use as a changing bag, so I'll have to go and buy a changing bag and they aren't cheap either..

Like most of this stuff !!

Plus I want one that matches so might not be easy to find

I like both of them, but on the Quinny I didn't see a basket for your things. Can you buy that separate?

Also, has the price and wheel change on the icandy already happened?

It doesn't come with one but they do sell them. They do a few different types of shopping baskets, so you can choose which one is best for you.

I got the one that goes underneath it was 14.99
