iCandy peach pushchair price?

Has anyone recently bought an iCandy peach with carrycot?

I am thinking of getting one and Ive read that you can get these cheaper at the baby show - Im going to enquire the price with John Lewis but has anyone got these cheaper anywhere else recently?

We don't need the car seat or adaptor as my brother is buying these for us..

    ICandy don't tend to put there prices online which is v annoying. Your best bet is a local shop or independent website as they seem to be able to do better deals.

    I do know the babyshow tend to do discounts not available elsewhere though.
    The frontier is never somewhere else. And no stockades can keep the midnight out.

    My iCandy peach blossom was £850 new. That was for the chassis, 2 seats, pip converter, 2 sets of car seat adapters, rain covers etc. Carrycots were £120 extra I think though I didn't bother with them. Unnecessary in my opinion. This was more than 12 months ago though so prices may have changed.

    I wouldn't buy one again. Having to take it all apart to put it in the car was a right pain in the a55.

    Oh no...the reason I was looking at this was that you could add an extra seat on if needed! Will check this out tomorrow thanks..

    I have called around and the standard price seems to be £595 for the stroller, and £195 for the carrycot

  • Mine was around £800. That was the frame, carry cot, stroller and the two raincovers. I love it though and Jaxon is 22 months and I am still using it. He was only in the carrycot section for a few months as he was long, but you can buy a nest and use it in the stroller section from birth...xx

    I remember my partner thinking about the iCandy Peach as a multiple pushchair and its not simply as easy as adding another seat.

    Ended up with the simple Cherry but none of the iCandy's simply fold - you have to take them apart. Not a problem for me cos we don't have a car and if someone wants me to fold my pushchair on the bus I simply offer to get off and wait for the next one.

    Thanks..I think the strawberry does fold in one go and apparently you can fold the peach with the chair attached too? Although obv not when you have 2 seats attached..

    I will have to try out all configurations tomorrow and see! Will report back

    Ok we ended up buying the peach 2 stroller and carrycot in silver mint, looks soo nice, and baby planet had a special offer where they threw in a maxi cosi cabriofix and car seat adaptors for free, so all in was £790 instead of £920 which was a good discount.

    We had the option of buying either the display black or the purple peach 2's for £660, but OH didn't want a pram for his baby that has had other peoples mucky hands on it, lol..

    All in all the baby show was really good, got a few other bits and bobs all with really good discounts - recommended if you have a fair bit of baby shopping to do!

    I'm sure you know by now but the peach cannot be folded with any seats on.

    This is exactly why I'm not getting another peach blossom. I use my car 95% of the time, and to put it all together you need to open the chassis, attached both converters then both seats. A right fuss and not one I can be bothered with again. Takes up a massive amount of room in the boot too.
