What they say:

“The iCandy Peach is famous for its one-hand fold and head-turning colours. The Peach can also upgrade into a double travel system to grow with your family. Moreover, unique iCandy elevators allow the single seat or carrycot to be positioned higher and closer to the parent. The elevators can also be used in world-facing mode to bring the child closer to the table, similar to a highchair. Crafted by iCandy's team of pioneering British designers, the iCandy Peach features beautiful details and design, along with a soft leatherette handle and bumper bar for that finishing, lasting touch.”

Would you recommend this to other mums?

Oh yes, I would definitely recommend The iCandy Peach. I adore this pushchair! It is so easy to recline, to remove seat from base, and to fold the base. It looks fantastic and I feel great when pushing it around! It's relatively light but very easy to push one handed. It has good storage and it's easy to keep clean.

How did this product make your life easier?

It is so easy to push over a variety of surfaces and has great suspension, meaning the baby doesn't feel every bump. It has an extremely sturdy frame and the seat unit is very durable. It is easy to fold, it can be done with one hand if necessary but easier with 2. It folds relatively flat, although does take up some space in the car even when folded.

Would you choose this product to win?

It looks fantastic, feels fantastic to push and it's just so nice to take out. It is very comfortable for the children, my little boy doesn't whinge at all while in it which is so unusual for him! The recline positions are great, he likes to be really upright and some don't sit up enough for him.

What changes would you make to this product?

It is way too expensive! I know the saying 'you get what you pay for', and you do get a great product for the money, but lots of people, myself included, just couldn't afford it. It is difficult using such a nice pushchair but knowing that I could never afford to buy one. The price also doesn't even include the carry cot, which is then another added expense.

Would you recommend The iCandy Peach to other mums?

I'd absolute recommend this pram, in fact I have! I love it. It seems to handle like a dream. I used it to walk amost 10 miles today, and I could actually push it (even uphill) with one finger, it's so light. It just feels sturdy and of excellent quality. I love the design, and the range of colours. It's very comfortable and the material it's made with are robust and expensive looking.

How did this product make your life easier?

The iCandy Peach is so easy to use. I went shopping today and had the pram loaded with my 6 month old daughter, plus 3 bags of shopping, and all her changing things. Firstly, the area underneath is so big that this is the first pram I've been able to just plonk the whole bag into without having to empty it, and secondly, even with all that weight it can be pushed as though it's empty. Great for someone who's just had a baby.

A feature that really stood out for me is the fact that it can be changed into a tandem pram if I were to have another baby in the near future. This would mean I wouldn't have to go to the expense of buying a new one completely. It's very clever that the 'hood' of the carry cot has been utilised to also fit the pushchair seat as of course this only every needs changing over once. The space underneath is a winner. As is the design and colouring.

What changes would you make to this product?

I would not like to change anything about The iCandy Peach!

Would you recommend The iCandy Peach to other mums?

I really enjoyed using The iCandy Peach for its aesthetics but also its comfort and pure quality. I felt you could tell just by looking at the frame and seat unit it is made of fantastic quality and design. I loved the vibrant colours which made it so eye catching, it's was so easy to use, compact and modern. I felt it was by worth worth the costing and I would pay the price with pleasure an recommend to fellow mums and friends.

How did this product make your life easier?

I believe because this product is something you use every day and is made mode of transport for your baby it has to be versatile. The iCandy Peach is so compact, easy to fold up and down, an adjustable handle depending on height of the user, and a spacious basket. It's so comfortable to push and moves in every direction with complete ease.

Would you choose this product to win?

The iCandy Peach was such a lovely and beautiful design with its vibrant colours, it really stood out. I loved the fabrics and how it felt as well as looked. It really caught other people’s attention when using out and about and I found fellow mums admiring it quite often. It is by far superior in design, comfort and quality.

What changes would you make to this product?

The only thing would be is if the hood came down lower. When the seat unit is in the horizontal position sometimes the hold just doesn't seem to come down quite enough. When my little boy was asleep or in the pram for a considerable time, when I lifted him out the back of his head would sometimes be marked slightly. So maybe it could come with a comfortable liner for that slight extra comfort.

Would you recommend this to other mums?

I absolutely love The iCandy Peach. It's beautifully designed and I found it very practical too. This is a gorgeous pram and I got lots of compliments while I was out and about. I love how the base folds down so easily and it has a strap making it easy to carry. My daughter was really comfortable and fell asleep instantly in the recline position. The wheels are a good size and the frame is sturdy allowing for off road travel without too many bumps. The basket was a good size and easy to access.

How did this product make your life easier?

I found this pram so easy to put up and down. The base was a little heavy but it folded down to a good compact size and fit on the back seat of my car. It comes in two halves making it easier to store if you have a smaller car. I loved the harness on this pram. I've found that she can open most of them these days but she didn't manage to fervour of this one! I didn't have to worry about her escaping and the pram was so sturdy I felt like she was safe and secure.

Would you choose this product to win?

The iCandy Peach ticked all the boxes for me. It's aesthetically pleasing but also practical and sturdy. It's clear that it's made from good quality, solid materials and I felt confident that my baby was safe in it. The large wheels made it easy to steer and I found it comfortable and effortless to push.

What changes would you make to this product?

I would change the price. I can see that it is good quality and that obviously comes with a hefty price tag but it's a lot to spend on a pushchair. The only other thing I would change is the weight of the chassis. It was a little on the heavy side although the carrying handle helped a lot as it made it easier to lift and move.

Tested by mum Jackie Littlewood for the M&B Awards 2017:

Would you recommend this to other mums?

I found The iCandy Peach a pleasure to use. i'd recommend it due to how simple yet effective it is. It's very easy to get the hang of and use. It's one of the easiest ones to manage single handed. The design is lovely - bright colours always stand out in children's products. It transports well as it folds down quite small to fit into my car.

How did this product make your life easier?

A lot of people commented on how lovely The iCandy Peach was when I was out and about with it. I've been able to walk quicker with it as it's light and straightens itself out - no wandering wheels. We had to change it around from front facing to back facing a few times today to keep the sun out of little one's face and it just clicks straight back into place without needing to move adapters around.

Would you choose this product to win?

It definitely looks good. It's the style of pram I usually go for with the bright colours to keep the baby happy but also simple to use. There isn't much in the way of protecting the baby from the sun and wind - the cover is small. This would be fine for babies who can look about a lot but mine has a skin condition that means they could burn easily and this pram wouldn't help with that.

What changes would you make to this product?

The only thing that could be added is maybe a cover for the storage space underneath. It's great that it's so big but things look as though they might either fall out or attract the attention of others to get pinched. I'd like a little roof on this section to hide my belongings and keep them in tighter. Also I would like there to be 2 hoods one for the carry cot and one for the pram bit.
