Baby buys - pram/baby sling suggestions? - Page 2

The Icandy apple is quite big. The cherry is perfect for what i wanted it for. Certainly visit a stockist and try them out. I wish i'd have looked at them sooner.

Plus, the cherry only costs about £300 for the pram, carrycot and footmuff

It's confusing, they have loads of different types! ahh

I will def try some of these prams out, do you know if their seat is any deeper than on the quinny buzz? as it looks it.

Sling-wise we got a M&P Babycruzer deluxe as a present but didn't get much use out of it, not as much as we'd have liked... big baby being the main problem but it was also quite tricky to get him loaded in to. It was very comfy though (has a back support) and baby can face in and out.

Pram-wise we have the M&P Pliko switch, which came out in March 08 and is just same as the pramette but can face both ways. Also what my hubby did was take the rigid side supports out of the pram liner so that we can sit baby up but he still has the pram liner round him for support and warmth and doesn't look so lost in it.

Caitlyn is super snug in her icandy cherry.

Here's a pic for you..

This was when i very first got it, without the footmuff. I haven't took a pic with the footmuff yet!

I was the same as you i liked the Quinny Buzz but wasnt sure about the pushchair so i ended up with the Quinny Speedi system, i picked it up yesterday and i love it. Only drawback is that its not as compact when folded but i found very few that did fold as small.

I was desperate for a Buzz only a few months ago... I went and had a test try at Mother Care and had the bigger seat unit on as she was 11 months at the time and Olivia is really quite petite but looked squashed in it. There didnt seem to be much room for her to grow.

I bought the Icandy cherry & I love it. Its so much better than the Silvercross 3d Jetsport thing I had. I wish i'd gone for this one straight away.

also you can get the carry cot etc for when their new borns. ill be holding onto my cherry for my next one..

AND... CONGRATULATIONS HUN XX

I've done quite a bit of reading about slings etc and I'm thinking that a Moby Wrap will be the one I'll use most. There are loads of different carrying positions you can use with it and because it's stretchy you can pop your baby in and out of it. On the down side though I think they take a bit of getting used to and you have to learn how to tie them. We've got a ring sling for initial use as they seem to be easier to get the hang of.

Here's a link to the Moby website anyway if you're interested -

Sorry forgot to ask before
Where did you get yours Amy?
Can the cherry be folded with the seat attached as the apple can be?
Is the Apple more expensive?

Sorry for 20 questions!! I can't seem to find many prices with good descriptions online! Im looking on the iCandy UK website for stockists at the min.

Your little one looks comfy in there!

@elles - Why wouldn't you buy it again?
