iCandy - Strawberry 2

Budget friendly - second hand we got an icandy strawberry system from eBay for £50 and it was fantastic for 11 months when we switched to something lighter and only forward facing. What are your specific needs. I.e City vs country walks? Compact & lightweight for living in a flat upstairs vs something more sturdy that takes up lots of space etc?

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. 

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.

Maxi cosi is your go too I recommend the emerald it’s from infant to 15 months and comes with isofix base. Buggy depends on your budget I always had bugaboo or icandy.

Any thoughts on icandy? We have one and a doona but the doona gets used more!

Seconded. I’d buy a second hand iCandy for 0-6 or 0-9 months (depending on how fast the baby grows!) as that is a tank to protect a newborn in bassinet, and initially faces you when you sit them up, which is nice for the baby. From that age onwards, for rural lifestyle splash out on the nipper out n about, urban go for Joolz aer. Much sturdier and easier to fold than YoYo.

We had an icandy pram with Maxi Cosi car seat that was on a 360 base.
