icandy Cherry

The main reason I chose the Cherry was due to it being so lightweight - it' makes it practical to use out and about, to push uphill and assists with the maneuverability. I must have tried and tested about 100 prams! This was by far the lightest and easiest.

Not only that but being iCandy it carries the air of luxury - being a wonderfully British high-quality brand, it looks wonderful. It's easy to fold, its very straightforward when it comes to changing from carrycot to seat unit, to car seat. It's versatile and in whatever mode, throughout the growth of both of my boys (at different times) I've loved walking my baby in it. It is definitely one of the best strollers! Furthermore, iCandy's customer service are very friendly, professional and pleasant to deal with - we needed a wheel replacement before the birth of our second, and through our stockist, iCandy dealt us a replacement without hassle very quickly.

I absolutely love my iCandy cherry pram! It is so lightweight, petite, easy to move around, easy to collapse and easy to make up!

Iv been using my pram for 3 months and found a squeak developed in the frame. My retailer arranged to send it back to iCandy who promised me it back within 1 week. Unfortunately 3 weeks later I still have no pram wheels (due to their computer system being down apparently) and 2 weeks to go until Christmas! I have also been told that the reason For the squeak is because iv overloaded the pram - this is far from the truth!!!

The pram itself is very good however iCandys after care is terrible. How they can leave a mother with no means to move around her 3 month old baby is shocking. The pram was not cheap and I feel terribly let down by iCandy!

First of all, it's the lightest stroller in the iCandy range - and to fold it you need to separate the seat from the chassis making it that make much lighter to carry.

The seat is a decent size - I like the belly pad buckle is attached to the seat so that it doesn't keep falling off each time I put the bubba in and out of the seat. I like the reversible seat, the removable bumper bar (which I find only has use for handing toys) and most of all the large basket - for a lightweight stroller it's a perfect size!

I also found it a perfect stroller with the maxi-cosi car seat, the adapters click into place and presto a travel system!

It might not tackle all terrains so smoothly but generally I've been able to manoeuvre it one-handedly at times even when fully loaded.

My only issues are the result of wear and tear - it's been well loved and well used so I would definitely give this top marks and recommend to anyone looking for an affordable, luxury stroller :)

Lots of plus points:

- Lightweight/Compact

- Big basket

- Comfortable

- Relatively easy to dismantle and chuck in boot of car

Minus points:

- Seat position doesn't go into enough of an upright angle- daughter is 14 months now but from age of around 11 months started pulling herself more upright in the buggy to get a better view of things. Very frustrating as thought we'd use it till around age 3..Have started using our 'holiday' stroller now which is not as comfortable but at least she can see out as seat goes to more upright angle

Didnt think of this aspect when preggers as all you can think of is your newborn in it, however, am quite annoyed as am no longer using for this reason and it's not the cheapest buggy on the market...

- Am fairly tall 5' 7" and wish the handle was ever so slightly higher..not extendable either..

- The Cherry no longer has viewing panels in the hood (again, a bit annoying as they hadnt updated their catalogues to reflect this at the time i bought, but does say on the website now)

Fantastic pushchair,easy to use, easy to put up and down. Rearfaces very easily. We had the footmuff and it was fab, fitted really well didnt slip and was easy to wash. Very warm and snug.

The pushchair seat is a very good size and my then 2yr old fitted in it with lots of room.

We also had the parasol and cupholder - I wouldn't bother with them.The parasol didnt shade very well and was hard to position. The cupholder is a waste of time. The clips have to b removed before folding which is a pain.

All in all and excellent pushchair.
