iCandy Apple

Laura--x · Feb 1st, 2009, 13:10 PM

Im really interested in this. I was put off at firts because i wanted a front facing pram and didn't think this was but now i know it is im even more eager to get it!

I want a lightweight one which i can easily get on/off busses with and so on as i use public transport alot.

I've read this is lightweight, but wanted your girls own opinions? x

Lightweight are strollers imo and the icandy apple is not lightweight. If you use public transport you only have to tilt the pram to get it on the bus

and sometimes I get a taxi home but theres 2 companies with wheel chair access taxis so I don't have to put it down.

What I would have said is if I drove I wouldn't like this pram putting it up and down but as I don't drive and I use public transport its not too light its is stable and its fab for carrying my shopping lol I use the basket under the pram and I have hooks that I can attach bags too and it handles the weight which is suitable for me. As time went on I wanted a light weight as well purely for trips to the shopr, nipping to the doctors, days out with her Nanny etc but never take the lightweight shopping on public transport ...doesn't suit my sore arms because it doesn't carry weight and Mummy with no car has to get her shopping lol.

Hope that makes sense?

we were going to get the icandy apple but decided to get the cherry instead found that alot better then the apple

I have the pear but yet to use it, I know a few who have the apple and they rate it well, I'd probably say the Apple is better then the Cherry as the Cherry has had quite a lot of bad reviews, but the Cherry is light so is better if you want a stroller, otherwise i'd say the apple

The old cherry got bad reviews, the new one is fine

we have just brought a icandy cherry as a second stroller and its wonderful! very light weight and easy to use

No matter what pram you get, there will alway be bad reviews, at one point the 3D was the best pram on the market, now it has so many bad reviews its unbelieveable, and its the same with the iCandy. If you want sturdy id say Apple but if you just want a lightweight stroller then i'd say cherry

the cherry is sturdy ive had no problems with it all another thing that pushed me to the chery was that it didnt have air tyres like the apple wouldnt fancy getting a puncture in town lol

**Wobbles** · Feb 2nd, 2009, 13:37 PM

I believe apple changed the tyres ...

Mines 14 months old and I've not got a flatty in town
