The iCandy range in one sentence
iCandy is the UK’s premium British pushchair brand — the range runs from the lightweight Pip compact to the large-family Orange 4, with the Peach 8 as the flagship most families end up choosing. Across every model we’ve assessed, fabric quality and finish have been consistently impressive — among the things that distinguish iCandy most clearly from many similarly priced rivals.
Parents like you usually choose
Best all-round family choice
iCandy Peach 8
Our pick for most families wanting premium quality with future double capability — exceptional fabrics, Lullaby Trust partnership carrycot, 5-year warranty
Best for city use
iCandy Core 2
Outstanding suspension — the first 10/10 category score on this site. The top-of-range single if a double isn’t the plan
Best compact
iCandy Pip
Fixed 104.5cm handlebar — among the tallest of any compact. Ideal for parents over 5’8″, less suited to shorter frames
Best for large families
iCandy Orange 4
The big family pushchair — tandem double or single-to-double with ride-on board. Heavy and wide, built for years of serious family use

What makes iCandy different
iCandy is a British brand and that shows in two things above all else: fabric quality and finish standards. Across the four models we’ve assessed hands-on, fabric quality has been consistently impressive — and is among the things that distinguish iCandy most clearly from many similarly priced rivals. It’s not something that appears in a specification table — it’s something you notice the first time you touch the seat fabric, in the same way you know immediately when you pick up a shirt whether it’s well made or not.
The second thing iCandy does consistently is the warranty. Across the range, iCandy offers one of the strongest warranty commitments in the market — a genuine signal of confidence in the build quality. At this price point, that commitment is worth factoring into the total cost of ownership.
One honest caveat across the range: iCandy pushchairs are not the right answer if budget is tight. The range starts at around £529 for the Pip and reaches well over £1,000 for the Peach 8 fully configured. For parents who want iCandy quality at a lower price, the secondhand market is strong — the brand holds its value and well-kept secondhand examples are widely available.
