Icandy Orange or Bugaboo Fox

So after researching online, I pretty much had my heart set on the Bugaboo Fox. We went today to have a look at it and compared to some of the others we looked at, DH thought some of the mechanisms on it were a little more awkward to use esp to put up/down.

So we are now considering the Icandy Orange, I do like it but not quite as much as the Fox, although I know practicality is more important.

Has anyone got opinions on either of these, or any others I should be considering?

Its important that it is easy to put up/down, not too heavy, not too big, we will mainly be using it for country walks (though mainly on paths).

TIA

We've got the icandy for daily use and the bugaboo (chameleon) for holidays. Save your money and go for the icandy- the suspension and transfer from city roads to muddy tracks is amazing. The only reason we've got the bugaboo is because it's lighter (but I also feel a tad flimsy feeling?) and so doesn't weigh too much re: check in luggage allowance but mostly because I don't want to ruin my icandy!

How close of an age gap do you plan? If there's any possibility of another fairly close in age, I'd get the icandy orange as it converts to a double.
I don't have any experience of either. But I'd say you'll probably get used the folding/unfolding of the fox fairly quickly! They both look pretty similar to me, so I'd get the one with the biggest seat unit. (Some pushchairs have ridiculously small seats and by 1.5 look like they're bursting out of them!). I also think they're both bucket seats rather than lie flat? So also consider which looks comfiest to sleep in when fully reclined once they're in the seat unit.
