Icandy peach or Bugaboo Chameleon?

Still only 8 weeks so plenty of time to decide.

Trying to work out which pram is best? I don't drive so would need to be to be light enough to get on and off public transport. DP does drive and we go out and about on days out and stuff on the weekend, we just have a little Renault Clio so would need to be small enough when folded down to get into the boot of our car. I also fly overseas to see my family at least 4/5 times a year, usually just me and DD so would need to be quick and easy to fold down, when going through airport security etc, with two children in tow. ( I had a huuuge bebecar that was a nightmare to fold and was so stiff required super strength to get it folded, it was a nightmare in the airport on my own, so this is hugely important!) also would be nice to have a lot of space in the basket underneath as I'm often out and about at the shops during the week without access to a car. Another nice feature would be a liner that is easily removed so I can stick it in the wash.

Any other pram suggestions welcome. Thanks x

In terms of weight the bugaboo is much lighter. I tried them in the shop and the Icandy was really really heavy I thought. However neither fold up that small - I've had a clio in the past and once the pram is in there, there won't be much room for anything else. You also have to take the carrycot off to fold them I think (Definitely with the bugaboo, not sure about the Icandy). I would suggest going to a shop where you can ask if you can try them in the boot of your car. In terms of travelling, both with be a nightmare to travel with I would imagine. the babyzen yoyo is a lightweight option perfect for travel as it fits in the overhead locker.

Cameleon. Must lighter, easier to push and bigger than the icandy, so last longer.

However neither fold small or very easily. I'd personally buy a second one for travel/ public transport - both those are 2 part folds so on public transport are a nightmare if the driver asks you to fold them. Bugaboo bee 3 or 5 would be ideal.

Get a baby zen yoyo as you can take it in the plane (otherwise you have to carry baby through passport) and it folds up tiny in car boot, cafes etc. Easy to bring upstairs when folded (eg into a flat).

Bugaboo chameleon is big, the big wheels are nice on rough ground but it doesn't sound like that is your main issue.
