This is really easy to push and gives a really smooth ride, it's easy to attach all the different options onto the frame and it looks great! It can be difficult to fold up, my husband doesn't seem to have any issues but I struggle at times, I always get there eventually but it can take a good few tries! Overall I'm pleased with it though!
Folding takes some getting used to it, but once you know how is very easy.

Choosing a pushchair for a new baby is an absolute minefield! I am so pleased that we went for the icandy having been recommended this by numerous friends.
When we first got the pushchair I used to struggle with putting it up and down, but once you know how it is super easy! I was pressing the wrong bit in but it is just a push of a button and pull up the basket.
Manoeuvrability on the pushchair is fantastic and I’ve never had any issues with it in tight spaces, city streets or on rural walks. It has big back tyres which help it over rough ground and great suspension to ensure a soft ride for all baby.
The pushchair can have different fittings and is compatible with maxicosi car seats which is a super big bonus.
This beautiful eye catching pram is certainly a must have for any parent. It's cosey, the Biggie part can face both forward and backwards, you can mix and match cosey toes and will most definitely receive plenty of compliments.
Although the pram isnt as small and compact as some of its competitors don't let that put you off as you can buy car seat brackets to attach a car seat for those trips. This can also be turned into a double buggy all you need to do is buy the correct brackets. Excellent

It’s a lovely pushchair and I love the fact you can buy accessories and the fact it goes from newborn right through to when toddler. Plenty of space in the shopping basket only down side is how heavy it is and I found it difficult to get it down so did the grandparents.
Easy to move round small tight spaces in shops and through small doorways.
Weaknesses:
Fitting all pieces into boot of car.

This travel system is great and so very durable. My sister used it for her little boy till he was a little over 2 and wanted to walk all the time and then I now have it for my 8 week old daughter. So it's built to last! Is very easy to put up and down, literally just pops right up and push a bottom to put back down. You can get different attachments for the pram allowing you to use a maxi cosi carseat, carry cot and pushchair for when your child is a bit older. Comes with a rain cover for both carry cot and car seat which is very easy to put on too.
The frame is so easy to move around small tight spaces like in shops and small doorways and you can adjust the front wheels for when you're walking over different surfaces. The brake at the back of pram is good, no movement what so ever, which gives you peace of mind that you won't have your baby rolling off anywhere.
I'm an average size female and find it easy to pick up the pram frame to put it in and take out of my car boot. The only thing is that I find it difficult to put all the pram parts, like the frame and carry cot into the boot of my car, which is a Corsa. I have to put the carry cot on my back seats which is fine if it's just the baby and I going out. However, the pushchair part and frame fit in the boot nicely together.
All in all this is a great travel system, would definitely recommend.
I bought the iCandy apple travel system back in 2008 when I had my first child. I wanted something that I really loved and would use for subsequent children. The iCandy hasn’t disappointed as it’s now 2018 and I’m still using it with my second child and will use it with any others that come along. Despite being 10 years old it still looks as good as new so I’ve found the system to be extremely hard wearing, the only thing that shows it’s age are the air filled tyres that have had several punctures over the years and could probably do with being replaced as they will frequently deflate. I love the versatility of the travel system and how it’s grown with my children, the carrycot is spacious and great for those lovely walks showing off your newborn. The pushchair can be used parent facing or forward facing. The ability to clip the car seat onto the chassis for trips to the shops is extremely helpful. The pram steers very well and is easy to manoeuvre through crowded shops, even one handed if you need to hold an older child’s hand. I sometimes have difficulty folding the pram as there is a bit of a knack to it but that may just be my model showing it’s age
Air type wheels always pop, you have to have a big car boot for each part of the stroller

Built to last, can get more than one child use out of it. Great colour selection of liners and covers. However it’s very heavy and a pain to fit in average size car boots
The carry cot section I have noticed lasts a lot longer than other prams
Weaknesses:
Little heavier but not a lot.

I have the apple 2 pear travel system and it’s amazing, so study yet not bulky. It has great suspension for walks. Very easy to clean all parts are detachable to wash. Looks great, I get a lot of compliments. Very easy to use and swap parts. Would definitely recommend.
I thought this pushchair was brilliant with a car seat attached to it but the seat is not so great, my baby girl loves to look around but as she couldn't sit up by herself , the seat was no good for her plus the basket under the pushchair was quite small too
Easy to steer, larger carry cot, high position, massive basket

Love this pram, very functional and can grow if the family grows too. It is a slightly bigger pram but i find this better than the other icandy models especially if you have a bigger baby. The carry cot doesn't sit as low as other icandys which is great when you are tall.
It can be quite difficult finding matching accessories, but is possible.
I used this from birth. It’s very handy that you can get different adaptors to add different car seats. The carrycot is very large but lasts a while, and the pram seems to be lasting a long time too. Basket is reasonably big
Had this for my baby and toddler 18 months apart was looking for something for them both , great that you can add 1 or 2 seats or car seats ... however so many prices to connect it all together I didn’t get on with it with 2 children close in age and spending along time to make it up I soon got fed up also my petite 18 month old filled the seat
This pram looked good, but it’s functionality was poor. The carrycot wasn’t very sturdy. My baby rattled around in the carrycot which I wasn’t thrilled about. This along with the fact that the pram was close to impossible to fold and took up most of the car boot resulted in us getting rid of the pram within 3 months. Not a great purchase. Really regretted it.
Large Basket, Lots of accessories and colour packs
Weaknesses:
So Big! Brake doesn't always work.

The pram is very expensive for what it is. The basket is really big and the fact that there is no footrest means that this pram works for tall children too. The brake will sometimes fall down and into position mid-walk. The pram is huge! I have a ford fiesta and it takes up the entire of the boot. It has colour options and accessories but all have to be bought separately. We had the carrycot option too, which has two metal bars which clip into place these immediately bent. They were replaced though so its probably not usual.
Seat is small and most children two long once over 2 years old. Gets stuck when pushing over a low k

Lovely pram carrycot comfortable for baby and my girl loved to sleep in it over night when we was away. Seat unit is small but comfortable when child can fit it. Easy to push apart from when you go up or down a low kerb.
Can be difficult to fold, I had to have chassis replaced because it collapsed with my child in it, would prefer if it had a bumper bar, seat unit it quite small for my tall child, I did make it into a double but it was so heavy I didn’t use it much.
Easy to use pram that I can’t really fault. We used the carrycot as a moses basket when we went away for a weekend to save space in the car. Have a good sized basket underneath, easy to fold and a dream to push.
We love this pram. Our baby is so comfortable in it. We used the carrycot part instead of a Moses basket for night time when baby was little. It's surprisingly compact for a travel system and fits nicely into the boot of my ka (have to remove the wheels). It's so lovely to steer and is actually quite light compared to other prams we tried. I've bought a cheap run around pram and I honestly can't use it after using this. Good suspension for walks along dirt tracks. It does scratch quite easily due to the painted silver elements and it is tricky to put down but once you get the hang of it it's ok. Would highly recommend.
Sometimes the pushchair wont fold 1st time, but thats the angle maybe i am holding the pushchair.

2nd time no doubt it closes. Worth the money and compatible with the maxi cosi and family fix iso.
Adapter are additional purchase for the maxi cosi. I love my I Candy Apple, basket under the chair is adequate enough. My changing bag plus extras fit.
Acssories very exspensive, doesnt come with extras, lasts till baby is one(if that)

My first baby and to be honest i was sick of the design by the time baba was 6 months and she was to big for it by 1 year old.
You can buy different colour hoods, you have to buy EVERYTHING icandy which is super expensive! A cup holder was nearly 30£ . The footmuff is 80£ all together it wasn't worth the money to be honest. Steering was perfect
getting down was easy, once you know how.
you can fit another seat under (fab for twins)
A very big pram even when you change to 6 months plus the wheels are massive!!
But i whizzed around like a god, popped my little sister(3) in the basket when she dint wanna walk (i felt like id created something new, genius!) it lasted without having any issues so i would recommend if okay spending so much money on accessories.
Big so can take up a lot of room in the car, heavy

I really love this pram. We tried a lot of prams, steering them and testing them to see which one we felt most comfortable with and settled on this one. It is so easy to steer, it feels seamless and is easy to zip between crowds of people. It is very sturdy and you can tell it will last a long time. The basket in the pram is a really great size, I can fit our change bag and quite a few other bits there at once. It is very heavy, and you do need a decent sized boot to be able to fit it in the car, but its worth it! I also love that our Maxi Cosy car seat slots onto the pram base so if our daughter is asleep we can just move her from the car to the pram without waking her up. It is pricey, but I am really glad we bought this pram. We love it! Also, if we have another child soon, its very easy to convert this into a tandem pram. Highly recommended.
Best pushchair ever.
Can recommend to anyone,It is very easy to set up and fold up , and my kiddo is very comfortable in his carrycot. Looks quite classy and very easy and light to push. Quite a value for money.
The iCandy Apple 2 Pear Pushchair is a single seat stroller featuring both parent and forward-facing seat options and different recline positions for comfort. This stylish pushchair also allows you to customise the look with different coloured flavour packs which include a hood and chest pads.
