The Oyster or The I-Candy Cherry ?????

Ive just been to look at these two prams, and like them both equally, theres a £100 diff in them, ( the candy being the more exoensive one)

has anyone any experience with having either, how have you found them???

OYSTER OYSTER OYSTER OYSTER OYSTER!

I have nothing bad to say about this pram. Took delivery of it a couple of weeks ago and everyone (including lots of friends with babies and my mother) wanted to know where I found it and why it wasn't more expensive.

You might already know this, but the Oyster came out top in a Which? report on prams too, where it was independently assessed by hundreds of parents.

We did look at the I-Candy Cherry and found it much bulkier and far too expensive in comparison.

I should get comission for this!

Brill thanks, jeeze i'm so confussed, i will take my partner along tomo and see what he perfers also, it's the whloe what colou and frame to go for to, theres so much choice! i think the blk/silver frame in oyster is slightly nicer than the all black and i like the dark purple colour, but then the Icandy i think looks a little more nicer and i like the mulberry in that, i liked it that they were both light weight and easy to get down

Can't offer too much help but we just bought the ICandy Peach, which we really liked the look of in the store. The girl at John Lewis serving us said out of all the prams, she found the ICandy the easiest to put up and down, which sold me.

Sounds like the Oyster might be a good deal as well though. Have you tried both out?

With the Oyster they have just released a range of colour sets so you can completely change the look of the pram for about £50 I think - loads of colours to choose from, and as we went for the pearl (pale beige) we may well need to 'refresh' ours at some point!
My DH was the one who really confirmed that the Oyster was the one as he is much taller than me and it extends loads so he doesn't have to stoop to push it - something I hadn't thought of being 5'4"!

I have the Icandy Apple and have been very pleased with it. We chose the Apple over the Cherry because you can add an upgrade pack to it when you get around to a brother or sister....

I like the fact that I can click the car seat into the wheels if my dd has fallen asleep in the car.

It's worth shopping around for a price tho - the difference between our nearest dealer and one half an hour away was £150! so I drovea little further ;)
