Bugaboo Fox or I candy peach

Need advise.
The two new models are very similar prices but I was wondering if anyone knew the pros and cons of each?
Every shopkeeper I have been to seems pretty clueless and as a new mum i am not sure what to be looking for in a pram?

I slightly prefer the look of the bugaboo Fox and it seems easier to handle and very light but is it the better pram for me?
I live in London.
This will be my first child... not planning another one for a few years at least.
I am keen to know .....
which is easier to handle?
Which has better under carrage storage area?
Is one more practical in day to day use?
Is lighter better or will it be less stable? (I have a big dog and worried about it being pushed over)
How easy are they to fold and get in an uber????
etc....

Does anyone have these prams? Any advise much appreciated.

Thank you. xx

I have an Icandy peach and loved it. It's now 7 years old and we have really used it well for 2 children. It is very easy to steer and very comfortable for the children. (Both of ours stayed in this much longer than their friends, and in the occasions when a friends child climbed in they all said it was nice and comfy!)
However it doesn't collapse into one piece so buses are kind of difficult with it. The back wheels are also quite wide so shops with tight rails are sometimes a pain. The wheels aren't inflated though, which is a positive and those friends who had inflated tyres ended up ditching their buggies early due to punctures!

I love love loved mine, so easy to push, comfortable, adjustable height and striking to look at.

I absolutey loved my icandy peach

Not quite the same but I have the icandy orange and the basket is enormous and holds loads. It's easy to steer but not the quickest to fold as it's a two piece- as are the fox and peach.

In London I use the babyzen yoyo and it's brilliant, very easy to fold on buses or to carry in the underground. I'd hate to have to fold an icandy or a bugaboo on a bus regularly. Lots of my London friends have the bugaboo bee which they like?

Interested in this thread?

Look at the Babyzen Yo-yo too if you're in London. I was recently in Paris and it seemed the most popular pushchair there to me.
I'm out of the pushchair stage now but the yo-yo was brilliant (and easy to sell on).

The Fox is so new that it’ll be harder to find people who have used it for six months plus.

Can you go to a larger pram store and look at the two of them side by side, compare their fold mechanisms and what they’re like to push around and avoiding all the stock rails etc?

I love my Peach - heavily used every day for three years now and still going strong. Also easy to fold, good strong footbrake and a HUGE storage basket.

Thank you all so much for your suggestions and tips. It all seems so confusing without advice from actual mums!! Some very helpful things to look out for tho thank you... didn't even think about wheel width for navigating shops etc! Thank you x

I have a Fox and love it. It’s so easy to manoeuvre and folds really small. The base and carrycot fit in the boot of my small car.

I would thoroughly recommend bugaboo. So easy to navigate and light. The seat is also bigger than icandy ones so they last longer. The fox has improved basket as well, as that was the one thing bugaboo fell down on for me.
