Lime

Do you plan on having more kids? If so, what sort of age gap? This heavily factored into my pram decision!

😂 i have the icandy lime, the icandy’s have a build in buggy board at the back that they can stand on as they get bigger. My 1st is 4.5yrs and still uses this at every opportunity so ideal for future proofing. When she was about 2 she started to use this when she didn’t want to sit down any longer if we were out all day and we just folded the seat down. Recommend the Icandy for that sort of age gap!

We got the iCandy travel system for our 2022 baby and we loved it. It has various configurations (we will use it as a double now I'm due #2), the carrycot and pushchair fabrics go on the same frame so you don't have to store something bulky when you change them, the basket is one of the biggest I've seen, the wheels are sturdy and it has different handle heights.

Check out icandy, i LOVE mine!!!

Have you gone into John Lewis and pushed buggies around? That's the best way to check it its easy to push etc as everyone is different. If possible, bump up and down a step/ledge like a kerb. Edit: sorry I've just read your post again. Ignore all of that! I will say, I bought an expensive buggy and after the first year it was a total waste of money- we just used a stroller that folded up small so deffo buy second hand! I wish I did 😅 We had an icandy and wouldn't recommend, but the basinet was sleep-safe so we could use it as a travel cot in the early days when on holiday/ visiting relatives etc which was handy!

I love our icandy - I know it’s pricey but honestly, it’s so versatile and the way it handles is so smooth. That honestly sounds ridiculous until you have a baby and then having smooth turns is great. But in all honesty, we loved that you could get a bundle option so we got the bassinet, the car seat, the toddler one and it will take two children so if we did decide to expand the family we could do that. Loved how stylish it looked, came with a coffee cup holder, umbrella, cover. Brilliant. But expensive.

I was in a similar position when I had my baby and we ended buying an icandy that was ridiculously expensive ( my husband insisted on it since we have a big garage and all in all is was a great buy) but when we went on holiday we had to rent a yoyo which we liked so we bought a second pram for travelling. The yoyo3 is a fantastic pram though it is a bit pricey but you can look for on vinted or eBay for one. My baby seems very happy in it when we are out and about.

Got a second hand icandy from eBay for £50. Was great, had been over £600 new. Definitely advise you go second hand, the fancy travel systems try to convince you they’ll last for years but at 1 year most people switch to something smaller and lighter.
