Pushchairs
iCandy for walks through woodlands etc

Hello! It seems there are lots of people on here with experience of iCandy pushchairs, so I'm hoping someone can help.
I always loved the look of the iCandy's but was always out of budget. We have 3 young ds and currently use a P&T which works great for us. Ds2 is 3.5 now and I am hoping that next year he won't need the pushchair anymore ( he only really uses it for pre-school pickup and on longer walks).
We are planning another lo in 2 years so I would like to sell the P&t and get a nice single instead to use with ds3 now and then in a couple of years with the baby.
We live near large woodlands and we often go for walks there using the P&T. So, I am looking for an iCandy ,suitable also for use with carrycot, and sturdy enough for walks on woodland paths. I looked at the Peach and the Peach Jogger. Would only the jogger be suitable or
the normal version too? Are there any other models that could work too?
Thanks in advance :)

Oh and what about the apple jogger? It's quite a bit cheaper isn't it. What's the main difference to the peach jogger?

I wouldn't get the normal Peach . The front wheels will clog up too easily. The two Joggers should work well. The Apple and PeCh are two very different pushchairs. I really recommend you have a look at both in a shop.

I love my recently acquired Apple Jogger. It's great. DS is 3, has plenty of room in it and can climb in and out himself. We take it our for two hours at a time and I find it easy to push.

By the way, I should have said, I push it across fields and along tracks and it's great.

Just to add, if you can ignore that these are the double pushchairs, swap the front wheels for the Jogger wheels and bear in mind that the Apple seat is a tad larger than the Pear, then you should get a rough idea of the differences eg basket, seat size, fold size etc. It just might help a bit.
