Hi, I have an iCandy that I bought as a Pear. The toddler is now walking alot so I would like to make it back into a single and make use of a buggy board.
How do I make it back into a single. Obv no need to use the pip - but do I need to buy a different seat unit?
I see the reviews for the apple are good so will stick with it for now. I found using it as a pear quite horrible most of the time! Out n About nipper is sooo much lighter.
Many Thanks

You can use the larger blue seat but the Pear can only face one direction. It should be facing you, but apparently you can unscrew the fixing points and turn the adaptor bits around IYKWIM to forward facing. But you have to choose one way or the other. I don't believe you can just buy an Apple seat unit but an iCandy retailer will tell you that. You may be able to pick one up from EBay. You are not supposed to put a buggy board onto any iCandy pushchair though because the back axles are not designed to load bear the weight of a toddler on a board and may break. It would invalidate any warranty too.
