Hi ? I am sure that questions on prams are always being asked but just wanted to quickly ask people?s opinion on the I-Candy Peach versus the Bugaboo. My hubbie and I have just started researching buggies and these two seem very popular and have the whole travel system. Importantly also, as we are thinking of going abroad when we have our baby for a holiday, they both ok to put the baby to sleep in so we wouldn?t have to get a holiday travel cot. We went into Peter Jones to try then both out and I think the Bugaboo wins, but just wanted to get opinions. It is definitely the one I see the most of in E.D. Also - if we did go for the Bugaboo does anyone have any recommendations for where to get the whole package at the best price? Peter Jones was very expensive and didn't for the cost include the carseat. I?d love to hear your thoughts.

I've researched the Peach as a double buggy and heard from lots of mums (and read on review sites) that the kids grow out of the seats very quickly (sometimes as early as when they're 18 months). The single version has the same seats so you'd have the same problem. I believe the Bugaboo seats are bigger.


Edited to add: sorry, no answer to your other questions, you could have a look at kiddicare.com but you may get better advice from the other mums and dads here.

If you read Which? reviews, the Britax Vigour 3+ or 4+ travel system beats the Bugaboo Chameleon and the i-Candy Apple hands down. You can also get the whole Vigour travel system package (frame, top notch car seat, isofix and pram bassinet) for under ?500 if you shop around (we paid ?497 for the lot at Kiddicare.com).


We have a Vigour 3+ and it is fantastic: really manoeverable, looks good, easy to use and sturdy (and the pram and car seat components slot straight in rather than having to deal with fiddly Bugaboo adapters). And you can switch between child facing you or facing away. And it doesn't have inflatable tyres like the i-Candy (which we didn't fancy due to possibility of puncture).


Admittedly (for the purposes of openness), Which scored the Bugaboo Bee and I-candy Cherry to be as good as the Britax Vigour (all given a mark of 78% against the 69% they gave the Chameleon). It all depends what's most important to you in a buggy but you'll probably find that the Bugagoo and I-candy only have slightly higher social cach? to go with the much higher price tag.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
