Among the "luxury" stroller brands, Stokke is known for its poise and high views, Quinny is known for its lightness and edgy attitude, and iCandy is very similar to Borgbu, winning the favor of many stars such as Beckham with its comfortable and luxurious seats and sophisticated design. With a history of more than 80 years, iCandy is known as the "BMW of strollers" and is the quintessential representative of British strollers.
The shape of the iCandy is much more rounded than the Borg, from the putter to the seat, and even the seat connector and the storage basket at the bottom, the shape is mainly round or oval. This rounded shape not only makes the cart more fashionable, but also makes the cart look small and cute, not bulky. iCandy strollers are all named after fruits, and all collections, with the exception of Raspberry, give a strong "roundness" and are very recognizable to the brand.
iCandy is designed to provide a sense of security for the baby, designed by Janet Collins, the former LV designer, the handle and the front wheel unit form an elliptical plane, the plane and the rear wheel feet form a "zigzag" structure, the baby leans forward on the back of the chair, can perfectly blend into the embrace of the word "in", after the seat is installed in reverse, it forms an "X" shaped structure with the frame, and the weight is evenly distributed. No matter how you arrange the orientation and height of the seats, the iCandy stroller is always stable and secure.
This structure opened up the possibility of upgrading the design, and in 2005 the frame was just taken shape, and in 2007 iCandy invented the first stroller that could be used from single to double. As long as the load-bearing surface of the two seats is parallel to the plane of the handle, or forms the same angle, the center of gravity is still in the center, which is very stable and flexible, which is a sensation in the industry as soon as it was launched, and opens up a general direction for the design of strollers.
This single and double convertible cart is the hottest Peach series today, and David Beckham loves his daughter Xiaoqi. In single mode, it can be installed in both directions, sitting and lying down, and can be adapted to car seats from brands such as Maxi-Cosi, Kiddy, and Cyberfit, all of which are connected by adjustment buckles on both sides of the trolley, which is as convenient as the Borgwalk. To switch to a tandem mode with an up-and-down tandem, an optional seat and adapter are required.
The Peach series is available in Normal, All-Terrain and Custom versions, with the All-Terrain version featuring large inflatable wheels and the ability to remove the front wheels for two-wheel dragging. Coupled with the waterproof and UV-proof 960D oxford cloth raw materials, eye-catching hemispherical awnings, and aviation aluminum lightweight frames, the British website has a high overall evaluation of the Peach series, with a score of 91 points, and is rated as "excellent" in many aspects such as handling, ease of use, safety, and storage space. However, the seat must be removed to fold the Peach, and the regular version costs around 550 euros.
More often than not, Peach is still intended for single-child families, and is a little cramped with dual seats. The Orange series has no obvious difference in styling from Peach, and can also be switched between single and double people, but the body is about 10cm longer than Peach, and the double mode is not cramped, which is more suitable for families with two children or twins. Combined with a car seat and a carrycot, the Orange range is available in more than 30 combinations. Equipped with TPU tires that are more wearable than EVA tires and can be folded along with the seat in single mode, they cost around 790 euros.
The rest of the iCandy trolleys are relatively unpopular, but they all have their strengths. The main lightweight Raspberry does not adopt the classic rounded shape of the iCandy, and the appearance and weight are not much different from the Borgbu Bee series, although the seat is not as wide and comfortable as the Bee series, but it is easier to fold than the Bee, and the price is about 550 euros. The latest generation of Strawberry improves the much-criticized split folding problem, while Apple has better handling, and the front wheels can be switched between single and double wheels, and are priced at 645 and 415 euros respectively. However, there is no formal purchase channel for iCandy in China, and if necessary, it can only be purchased overseas or on behalf of others.
