iCandy apple?
I went to look at the bugaboo cameleon in John Lewis today and both hubby and i fell in love with the iCandy apple!!!
Trying to work out what is a good price for it. Looking at the standard one with a carrycot but also interested in the black special edition.
The special edition from the local baby store is ??799.99 which seems a bit steep. The standard one plus carrycot from John Lewis is ??556 including car seat adapters and raincovers. Does this seem like a good price?
If anyone has any positives/negatives on the iCandy i'd be pleased to hear them too. Only negative i have seen so far is some people have difficulty with the folding but both hubby and i had no problem with the one in the shop so that's not an isssue.
Thanks for your help girls, need to decide soon so i can cancel the bugaboo bee i have already ordered!!!

hope it helps
We have the iCandy Apple and love it - and ??599 is a fabulous price, my parents bought ours for us but i am sure we paid quite a bit more than that and only bought it recently - in terms of the folding down we have had no problems and i actually think it is really easy to fold. It's also really compact as i have a 206cc - which has hardly any boot space but i manage to get both the frame and carry cot (as it folds down aswell) in, still with space for shopping bags!!!!
Would highly recommend iCandy Apple - if your midlands based let me know and i will sort out the details of where we got ours as it was a large 'baby barn' and they were extremely helpful - we got a full demo and even put it in the boot to make sure we were happy with the fit.
I originally wanted the Bee, but after seeing the two together was sold on the iCandy - plus it is not as popular as the Bugaboo, which is quite nice

Have a think about what you need your pushchair for - if you're going to be on and off buses it might not be for you as it doesn't fold down in one - but if you're in the car and/or walking a lot it's fab! The storage basket is great too!
Anybody know what the main difference between the apple and the cherry? They look like they do pretty much the same thing but the cherry is lighter...?
My main piece of advice is to shop around-we found the phone numbers of all the stockists on the internet and spent about a week phoning round them all to get the best price as most of them price match-we ended up paying ??720 for the special edition and that included a maxi cosi car seat!!!
Good luck!!!!
me and my partner have been looking at the icandy apple special addition and have fallen in love with it,you seem to have found it for a very low price including the car seat just wondered if you could let me know where you have bought it from please.
many thanks ???????
Good Luck with everything
I hope you don't mind me asking. Myself and my husband also love the Icandy apple, we have been checking prices form various stores in and around Glasgow. The best we can get is around ??648 including a free changing bag but did not include a car seat. Can you tell my which John Lewis you got that price from? John Lewis in Glasgow were more expensive than the price you have been quoted.
Has anyone had any bad experiences with this system or would they recommend it, I only seem to be reading good things about it.
Can anyone recommend a retailer in the south as I am based in Hampshire, that has this system ata bargain price. We have been looking around various websites and would be very grateful if anyone can recommend where we can purchase this item at a discounted price. I also wouldn't mind travelling if the price is right!!
I look forward to hearing from you.

I could be wrong and you may get a cheaper price, but we searched and ouldnt find it cheaper. xx
Has anyone bought the iCandy/ looking to buy it to convert it for 2 kids when another comes along? We are a bit confused. I know it can convert/upgrade to the Pear system that caters for 2 children but all the demos seem to be for 2 children of the same age (ie twins). What we want is for one newborn and say one 18mt/2yo. Im under the impression that iCandy make you buy 2 child seats as well when you want to upgrade (for the older child), again assuming you have twins. But we would only want to buy 1 extra seat.
We want to avoid having to have 2 separate prams down the track but it just seems so difficult. Or is it just me? Im yet to find someone who can demonstrate it properly and give us the answers that we are looking for (including John Lewis!) :x

can you get the new edition one?

Hi
Could she also get the pear half price?
Does anyone know or has anyone tried to put the apple seat on the pear chasis forward facing as a single pushchair - apparently the pear seat will only face backwards as a single pushchair ( I didn't think to ask in the shop, I had already asked so many questions!)
Thanks
