Ladies with iCandy Peach Carrycot

[~Mummy~]

I've not read all replies, but for info, the stroller can be used from birth anyway.

Thanks! I did not know this.

Is it the same as with car seats? They should only be in it for a certain period of time?

erm, not too sure on that but since it reclines fully, I think it would be fine??

I actually prefer the stroller just for the fact that when using it, you can get FAR more shopping in the basket than when using the carrycot!!

I know! The shopping bit is awful in the carrycot mode... I had to remove the carrycot bit just to put my shopping in and then put the carrycot back in.

I think there's some attachments you can get to hang grocery bags, I might have to get some of them.

The pushchair completely reclines flat as a PP has said so it's perfectly fine for babies under 6months. Doesn't look as adorable as the carrycot but does the job just the same. I wouldn't recommend using it in the standard pushchair position until 6months

im soooooooooooo thick!! ive just worked the rain cover thing out!! lol - there's a velcro opening isnt there??!! i hadnt seen it & was trying to stretch the blimming thing over the carry cot!! DOH!!x

I was beginning to worry you had the wrong one!

I love my pram and love hearing people cooing at it as they walk past us but access to the basket is getting right on my proverbials - I dont drive so when hubby's at work I neeeeeed to fit all my shopping in the basket. People round here are so used to seeing me on my knees outside the local co-op trying to shovel it all in!

Think I might get the buggy part down from the loft this weekend and give it a spin - I prefer it anyway, looks much sleeker.

haha! i know, what a wally!! it was my OH that figured it out....straight away haha!!

i must admit i love the chair part too - as much as the carrycot is gorgeous, i constantly get compliments when im out, i do think it was a waste of £150.....i just thought baby literally couldnt go in it til 6 months!! AND the maxicosi is sooo easy just to bung on top eh...ah well!!

I was told when I went to buy mine that you can use the pushchair unit from birth but it's not recommended as although it fully tilts back it's not 'lie flat' - the baby is lying in a V position (if you get what I mean!), sort of bent in the middle.

Yeah it's like the car seat, they shouldn't be in it for long as they should be properly flat for spine and hip development x

Florrie is quite petite so she still fits in the carrycot, but only just. Most times when we go out she is due a sleep so she is happy to be in there, but if she wakes when we are out I sometimes take Poppy out of her seat and let her walk (which she loves) and put Florrie in her seat instead (we have the Peach Blossom). She loves being able to see out.

I'm really happy with the Peach and recommend it to everyone, although I know lots of people have the issue of thier LOs outgrowing the seats quickly. Poppy only just fits in her toddler bit now, but she is quite tall.
