Silver Cross Surf VS iCandy?

[Emma93]

Hello lovely ladies! I'm trimester skipping here.. Sorry

I just figure most of you ladies will have gotten your pram by now!

I'm so indecisive! I've pretty much narrowed it down to a Silver Cross Surf or an iCandy (either a Apple, Strawberry or Cherry)

Do any of you ladies have either of these? Or know any first hand info on any?


Thank you! =) xxx​

Iv been testing prams for so long! I found the silver cross not a very nice push and the basket annoyed me. The pram felt quite plasticky!

I like the icandy as its lovely to push and sturdy but its also a bit heavier! x

I think I pushed every pram known to man this time and the silver cross wasn't one of the ones I liked. The icandy seemed to push better but I didn't have the money to spend on one so I ended up with the Babystyle Oyster x

I didn't like the surf as it felt low down. I've gone with the icandy peach.

I wasn't a fan of the silver cross, I looked at the surf and the 3d. I've got the I candy peach jogger and love it. I've used the apple (and as a pear) with my step sons, and liked it, but not as smooth as the peach. I originally liked the cherry, but the carrycot is smaller, and I didn't think it would cope well with rough ground (I live near the woods). I've been using my peach for 3 weeks now and there's nothing I'd change! We've taken it on normal pavements, busy shopping malls, through the woods etc. we don't drive, so it gets used a lot. It's really smooth, Jessica sleeps the whole time, got a really small turning circle which is great in busy shops!! The basket is a really decent size, easy to fold down. We'll be taking it to the beach soon, the apple was fine on the beach (quite heavy and awkward as the pear) so hoping this will be ok too. It just seems really sturdy and solid, the suspension makes for a lovely smooth ride for baby. I honestly couldn't recommend it enough! Shop around though, I first saw it in John Lewis, and they wanted £400 more than I ended up paying, and I got a car seat and adapters too!!

^^^^ same as this

Shop around. I bought mine at a local independent shop and got a free maxi cosi and 20% off accessories like footmuff etc.

I love the peach jogger and strawberry personally x

I've got an iCandy peach on order. I like the surf as you didnt have to have a carrycot baby could lie flat in the cosy chair. BUT the thing that pushed me to the peach was the size of the shopping basket.....you'll struggle to get a load of bread in the surfs basket, ridiculous.

If you looking for something between the 2, look at the Joules day collection, all in I think it's about £800 including carrycot and you get loads of extras, I was tempted but as its my first baby and the peach can become a double I went with that x

I did like that it can become a double, but it's £205 for the converter kit, and £185 for the lower carrycot. Just seemed quite expensive to convert so we went with the jogger. Mine was under £800, I'll just need to buy a footmuff once we go into the stroller seat x

I LOVE my silver cross surf! Only downside, the basket is teeny weeny. I looked at the icandy too but went with the surf because it fit better in my car xx

I love my Silver Cross Surf.... Its very pretty It pushes well, didn't feel poorly made and above all - Fits in my MINI!

 

[Mrsmac02]

Love the colour pack noo! I just went for plain black

 

[cupcake1981]

It is a lovely pram, the chair insert is so snuggly x

I am too a surf fan. I candy well over priced and doesn't warrant the extra cash in my opinion. Surf ticked all my boxes and looks the price as well!!!

 

[Kat2005d]

I've gone for the surf too. At first I really wanted the I candy, but when I got to see one in the shop I hated the noise that the hood made when you folded it open and back. So noisy that that I think it would wake baby up!

Same. We had the Oyster Max, it looks just as good as the iCandy but without the price tag.
