iCandy Peach
Hi All,
We've been to look at the iCandy Peach again today and more confused than ever. Had my heart set on it but no where has the colour Black Jack on display! We've only been going to independants, does anyone know whether it is likely that John Lewis displays the colour BJ?? They've told us that they are struggling to get display models in BJ due to demand - surely this means it can't be that bad if it's such a popular colour?
However, a sales guy showed us the changing bag in BJ and we honestly did not realise it was brown. Not sure what to think after seeing the changing bag but unsure if this is fully representative as the Peach is two tone.
As we're not going to find out the sex of the baby we wanted BJ due to it being neautral. Has anyone got one? Has anyone seen one in the flesh? Does anyone have any better pictures than the iCandy website? Opinions & help wanted please!
We do quite like it in Sweet Pea but think this may be too boyish, anyone think the same?
We haven't seen any other travel systems that we like, so not sure what to do if we don't end up getting the Peach.

(ps I love it, and nothing else compared to it for me so I hope you find a colour that you like)
Looking on the iCandy website, I can see from the pushchair piccy that it does look like a liquorice colour - we just thought that was slightly dis-coloured on the photo. I think the pushchair picture looks liquorice/brown & the carrycot picture looks black.
I'm sure it would look nice in the flesh, I guess it was just shock as it wasn't what we expected.

Where abouts are you? We saw it in blackjack at a little independent near derby if that's any use to you.

This is the carrycot
and the main pushchair although my buggy snuggle is covering it up
I definately want to see one now - we live in Shropshire, Derby may be a bit far, but I suppose if it's a chance to see it it may be worth the drive.
I think you might be right too about the bright colours dating as we also wanted to use this for our second baby (hopefully).
I've tried looking at other travel systems but after seeing the iCandys others just don't look as a good quality - I think it's the chrome edging that makes it look expensive.
Thanks for you help!
PS - I also have a pink lining bag!

Sorry for g/c but we have been looking at the iCandy Peach and the iCandy Cherry but are struggling to find prices for them, would you be able to give me any ideas how much we would be looking at?
Thanks in advance

also, with regards to colour. when we wanted the peach (we since decided and bought the cherry in fudge) we went to the 3 stockists near where we live. each stocked the different colour! so we got to see them all, but it was the sweat pea i loved.
mrsc83 I think any, we got our buggy snuggle as a christmas present so I didn't buy a specific one for it. I would presume any 5 point one would fit. I love the buggy snuggles, the LO's I looked after had them and they are the best quality I came across but they can be pretty pricy! The thing I really like is that you can zip off the top part when it's warmer so they still have the comfy liner to sit on and you can take it out and wash it rather than scrubbing the buggy. I didn't look into any others though so they may all do that.
EmeraldMum2B, the Peach is ??499 for the pushchair and ??150 for the carrycot and the Cherry is ??500 for the pushchair and carrycot although I can't remember how that breaks down. The pushchair is not suitable from birth so really you would need the carrycot. We got ours about ??70 cheaper than that though from an independent so shop around for prices and remember John Lewis do price match.
CM, Derby is a bit of a way to go, I would just try ringing around all your local stockists and asking what colour their sample is, someone must have it in BJ surely!! I have to say my initial thought was yuk when I saw the BJ on the website, I was completely swayed when I saw it in the flesh.
every John Lewis i've been to had it displayed in BlackJack so they are probably your best bet
we would have gone for it if we hadnt of found it it was a boy!

I'm definately going to try and find somewhere that displays the BlackJack so I can have a look.
I feel very excited today!
