iCandy peach jogger

[ap198484]

Apologies if this is in the right thread.

I am in the process of looking at buggies and at the top of my list is the iCandy peach jogger. I want it with the carrycot and car seat

I am aware that retailers can't devalue the product by showing prices online - however, has anyone bought one and if so what were the prices. I've been quoted £900!

Ideally want it cheaper if I can get it cheaper - even though I know the iCandy range are expensive

Any help or advice appreciated

A friend of mine got hers (an icandy peach) on ebay secondhand and I think she ended up paying around 350. They are expensive but I think you can use a maxi cosi carrycot / car seat rather than their own brand. Also you won't need to buy all the bits straight away so perhaps see if you can afford to do it that way. I can't remember what the price of the one in John Lewis I liked, but I think the basic model was far cheaper (around £400) than the limited addition covers(£800 ish). Having just had a quick peek on ebay, there is a Apple Jogger for sale: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ICandy-A..._BabyTravel_Pushchairs_GL&hash=item35b82ca5bc Seller reckons she paid 450 for it new, which fits with the prices I've seen.

Hi
I've just ordered the I-candy Peach from John Lewis the chassis was £595 and the carry cot was £195 then the car seat (maxi cosi) was £100 and the iosfix £125. It seems like loads of money but apparently it's the best on the Market!!! Lots of my friends have had I-candy (pear and apple) and they swear by it
Hey if it's good enough of Posh Spice it must be good lol!!!
Hope the above helps

My SIL has one and it has lasted so well. Her second baby is now enjoying it. I definitely think it is worth the money! I know people who have got the iCandy for the second baby as their first pram system hasn't lived up to their expectations.

Hi! I went to look at the icandy peach jogger last saturday and had my heart set on it but when I had a 'go' (ha ha) I (personally) found it really quite tricky to push though and it put me off it. Whilst I was at the shop I totally fell in love with the icandy peacher stroller (4 wheeler) and went for it in tomato!! I had seen it online but had totally wrote it off -I was determined I was having the arctic grey 3 wheeler as I'd been looking at it online since last August!!! But totally changed my mind. Funny huh.
The price I was quoted for the artic 3 wheeler jogger was 195 carrycot and 595 for the chassis. Last saturday they checked the icandy webiste stock whilst I was there and there were only 118 carrycots available to sell in the UK, after they have gone the next batch won't be in until end the of March, so worth considering this.

You can deffo use Maxi cosi car seats with it as I rang Icandy myself to check, so you may be able to get a car seat in the january slaes which may help bring cost down a little.
I think if you ring round and compare prices, some shops may be able to match a price and throw in something extra or accessories etc. Worth a try? good luck

With the car seat and the carrycot, plus colour packs (you do need to get these) that price sounds about right I think. If you look on the iCandy website, towards the bottom of the home page is a price list you can download.

The black isn't extra, only the red or blue. Personally I prefer the black anyway. We went out today without much of a clue what we were after, ended up liking the Peach or the Babystyle Oyster - coming home and reading reviews there is just no question anymore as the Oyster seems to have serious structural issues and terrible customer service!

Interesting to see you preferred the 4 wheel to 3 - I've only had a play with the 4 wheel and loved it, found it very easy to manoeuvre, but I was wondering if I should hunt down a 3 to try too. We were quoted £1008 today for a peach with colour pack, carrycot, frame, buggy seat, maxi cosi pebble, family fix isofix base, and maxi cosi adaptors. The pebble is the best rated seat for baby comfort as it is a near lie flat position so they can breathe easier, worth looking into instead of the icandy one maybe?

Ive been looking into the peach jogger(4 wheel) and for the chassis,carrycot,adaptors,carseat and bad i was quoted £950 kx

I was torn between the peach in blackjack and the new grey jogger, both are very smart but in the end I chose the blackjack as it was just that bit easier to push, I think the jogger has a more 'stunted' push due to the larger third wheel! I got my chassis, carrycot, pram seat, rain cover and bumper bar for £710 from a local store, it was £790 but they had 10% off in the new year sale! I love the I candy and am happy with my deal, I got the maxi cosi pebble separately from kiddicare!

Feedback from a friend of mine was that the icandy was a pain in the b*** because it wouldnt fold down, it all came apart in bits x

That is a bit of a pain, although the Strawberry (whenever it finally gets released) will fold down all in one. It does depend what you use it for. If you're going on public transport iCandy probably isn't a good brand to choose as you might have to fold it down, and trying to do that whilst holding onto a baby would be highly inconvenient! I think if you're in and out of the car or just walking a lot then the folding issues might not be such a problem.

 

[lianne82]

We went and looked at the peach jogger (3 wheeler) and we thought it folded up really well, very small. Obviously I've no experience with other makes/models but I totally loved this!

I was quoted £1000 for the carrycot, stroller/chassis, car seat adapters, footmuff(?), parasol. She wouldn't throw in the car seat

I wanted the pebble car seat with family fix base, which is currently on offer on Kiddicare. Got it for £238 as if you use the code morrisons you get a further 5% off, and 4% Quidco cashback as well made it a lot cheaper than the £300 the shop quoted me. I know I won't be able to get the icandy price down at all but at least I've saved a little on the car seat!

I use to work in a baby store and the peach was a good seller, the only negative we got on it was about the size of the seat. There is 2 places I would recommend for you to try one www.babyplanetonline.co.uk and www.babybabyonline.co.uk they do some good package deals.

It was our first choice! But at £710 without car seat I couldn't really justify the cost... Even though we could afford it we went for the Quinny instead at £385 all-in! It was on an amazing offer.

 

[lianne82]

Does the quinny fold up as small as the iCandy peach jogger?

 

[MariaF]

Errrmm...Lianne, I don't actually know! It was only yesterday we were comparing them and I forgot already

I remember Peach having that really clever handle you pick up the folded chassis by. Quinny definitely didn't have that. We have a relatively decent boot size and knew either would fit. Quinny opens up itself though (hydrolics!). So just undo one hinge and the whole thing springs up and locks in place!
I also felt the carrycot was wider than Peach. But Peach just felt a tiny bit chunkier/sturdier! Still, £710 was a lot of money! Oh and the shopping basket is smaller in the Quinny one - I think that's the major downside...but then they all have pros and cons, don't they?!

 

[lianne82]

Lol your like me, I'd of forgotten too ha ha!

I think I'm going to possibly go for the iCandy or the quinny, but we only have a little mini so are restricted on boot space!

Does anyone know if the peach jogger can become a double like some of the other iCandy range?

 

[MariaF]

Awww, we had a Mini till 3 weeks ago! I cried when it was taken away! Served us well for 4 years! Bear in mind that when you pick up the pram from store (unless you order on-line and they deliver) you'll get 2 large boxes. We actually commented we'd of struggles getting them into a Mini even with rear seats folded down!

I think you can make the jogger into a double too. You have to buy a special converter bracket and the second piece goes onto that bracket.

 

[lianne82]

Fab thank you! Not sure how we'll get it home then lol as nowhere can you order online and get it delivered!
