icandy apple. Have they sorted it's problems out?

[bandanna]

I think the icandy apple would be great for us but slightly put off by some of the complaints which mainly seem to be about the chassis. I have also read that they have now addressed those problems. Any views about it??

I was in john lewis this week looking at the pear and the guy couldnt collapse the buggy - it was quite funny watching him struggle then 2 others tried and eventually it shut, but when they tried again it wouldnt!

When i got home i looked on the internet and it seems the problems are either the front wheels or the collapsing mechanism.

We have been selling the iCandy Apple from the beginning and it is true that they had some problems to start with. However, over the last year or so we have virtually no issues with the chassis. The folding can be tricky but with a decent demonstration in a proper nursery store you should get the hang of it pretty quickly. We had a older chassis on display for a while which seemed a bit awkward to fold but as soon as we swapped it for a new chassis customers had no problems at all folding it. Hope this helps.

I have one of the first Apples and have had no trouble at all. The most distressing thing about it has been the foam on the handlebar splitting! I love it, especially during the car seat on the chassis stage but it is heavy.

You can easily replace the handle for a new one. It's only a two second job. Depending on when you bought it the guarantee on iCandy products is two years. If you cannot get hold of one email me on [email protected] and i'll get you a price.

Thanks David. That's good to know. I ordered it in Sept 07 but It was delivered in Nov 07. Either way the guarantee is on its last legs so best get it sorted. I'll have a word at the place where I bought it but will shout if I have no luck. Thanks

Thanks for your replies. For those who have had no problems with it, they seem to love it! As well as loving the look of it, forward/back facing options etc, we have a dog so need a pram that I can take on tracks/paths. Would you recommend it for that kind of use DavidatPramworld? Thanks
