icandy peach 3 dilemma

8 replies

Sophialeroy1 · 25/05/2015 07:02

hi all im hoping someone can help, i currently have a icandy peach 3 for my ds who is 7 months BUT I'm not sure if I will be able to re use it as ive just found out im now pregnant again my 5th and definantly last baby. This will mean I'm going to need all 7 seats of my car, leaving me with practically no boot space, I know I won't be able to fit a carry cot, a seat plus frame in. I'm so dissapointed as it cost a bomb to buy but I think I'll need to sell it soon : ( does anyone have any suggestions for a slim double that's suitable from birth?

Can you fit it in if you take the wheels off? I know you can fold the carrycot down with those 2 metal bars underneath the mattress?

I probably could if I took the wheels off out tbh I think I'd be reluctant to try and cram it it as the frame marks really easily Confused

I guess you need a slim/flat fold really, so something like a city mini or city mini gt double? I think the peach will fit too but there's not a chance I'd be taking anything apart if I had five dc to get in and out of the car, one still a young toddler. It would be a simple one piece fold all the way for me Grin

parties that's what I considered, the money I get from selling the icandy would offset the cost of the baby jogger so I wouldn't need to spend much more than I already have. The only niggle as it were, is the fact I won't be able to see baby unless I purchase a carrycot which I'm not a big fan of the bj one as it reminds me of a holdall. Oh well you win some ypu lose some lol

It's not awesome looking is it. At least the carrycot option is there now I suppose. It's a shame the baby jogger vue double got delayed/possibly cancelled (I'm not sure which). A parent facing side by side with a single fold would be so useful, if not all that great to push.

I would take a look at the red kite twini too, I had the single version and it was really good for the money. I don't know if the double has a car seat adaptor but the single does, could be useful if it did. They're rebranded valco pushchairs, so where the red kite fabrics are definitely cheap the general longevity of the oushchairs seem good. I do 5 miles+ per day and used mine daily for well over a year then passed it on to a friend who is still using it daily and it doesn't look any the worse for it.

I had a city mini double 5 years ago, they're very solid oushchairs but they do look very expensive now, which is why I would look at the red kite too.

How often will all seven seats be in use though? I have 5 dc and a dh but he rarely comes in the car with us so there's almost always a spare seat.

I've got the city mini double, been using it since dts were born. I wasn't over keen on it when they were teeny, as I'd have preferred them parent facing, but there's windows in the hood that mean you can see them.
It's been fab since they got a little bigger though, and folds flat, although it's not a one hand fold like the single, it's still just one move.

We used to put the icandy chassis in the footwell in front of a child/baby seat and it fitted ok - would that work?
