iCandy Apple or Cherry?

Hi all,
Title say it all - have managed to whittle choices down to an iCandy, but undecided which we need.
The Cherry seems much lighter and more manoeuvrable (I'm quite short and lightweight myself!). It also takes up much less storage space (have big car but small house).
However, the Apple seems more robust for off-road stuff, has the option for three wheels, adjustable handle etc.
I'm likely to be doing some off-road walking (tow-path, sand and mud) but not mountains.
Think I'm minded towards Cherry - the shop assistant demonstrating found it much easier to collapse - but don't want to get it then find out it's completely unsuitable for anything other than the smoothest of pavements.
Experiences?

Did you look at the iCandy Peach? If you are wanting a smaller, lighter one, but preferred the look of the Apple, then the Peach would probably be better. Plus they do pretty colours in it as well.

hi there, I have a cherry and I love it, but I'm a city girl and I probably wouldn't take it on sand, though muddy parks are ok. HTH. ps

I have a cherry and it is great, prob not so good for serious 'off-roading' but the compact fold and lightness + good carry cot made up for that.

Thanks guys - I did look at the Peach, but unfortunately my wallet looked away
Think I'll almost certainly go for the Cherry - for serious off road walking we've got both a sling and then for later on one of those backpack baby carriers.
I'm in that funny position of being both city and country, and think I'll get more annoyed by the size of the Apple than I will by the surface limitations of the Cherry!
