The brand new iCandy Orange pushchair offers unparalleled functionality, which is infused with flawless style and rich textures. The iCandy Orange features high attention to detail, along with eye catching iCandy branding, and minimal rivets on display, creating a sleek and desirable design.

UPDATE:
I have a requirement to seat one toddler and a newborn. Rather than buying two prams, I was looking for one pram to seat both at once. A primary requirement is to have the toddler seat facing away from the bassinet (as the toddler will kick).
And there are only two prams that does this. This iCandy is the cheapest with all the accessories included (rain cover and second seat etc..).
(see two middle pics of this link for configuration required https://www.kidsstore.co.uk/_webedit/cached-images/2066-6-3-…)

Functionality trumps style/looks!

      I look at this pram and wonder how we ever survived as kids. Thinking of bringing legal action against my parents for not getting a pram that stopped my brother kicking me in the face.

      Kind of explains why I’m so ugly though…

  • spackbace on 02/10/2017 - 00:08

    Double the price of Baby Jogger… Yeesh I hope you keep that thing bubble wrapped lol

      The equivalent baby jogger (City Lux) is ~$1649

        Wasn't referring to the really wanky ones. City mini gt or city select are perfectly fine and are under $1k

          There are prams half the price of Baby Jogger which are perfectly fine as well.

        • spackbace on 02/10/2017 - 12:01

          @tranter:

          I know, but OP obviously cares about image, hence my baby jogger suggestions

          @Spackbace:
          Not image - functionality. Functionality trumps style any day.

          There is only two prams that can do these two configurations (see link, two configurations in the middle of this pic)
          https://www.kidsstore.co.uk/_webedit/cached-images/2066-6-3-…

          The Babyjogger Lux and iCandy Orange. Rather than buying two separate prams, I intend to buy one.

          note. if you find a pram where the toddler seat is facing the bassinet, most likely the toddler will be kicking the bassinet seat.

          Please by all means, if you find a cheaper price, do let me know. Or know of a pram that is good quality and can do this configuration, please let me know.

          hence, this is the only option.

        • spackbace on 02/10/2017 - 12:55

          @ds4:

          City select can do the 3rd.

          Why would you buy a pram for 1 specific configuration? Did your kids tell you how they wanna sit or something?

        • ds4 on 02/10/2017 - 13:06

          @Spackbace:

          I dont want to buy two prams that will cost the same. plus, space in the car and I'm not going to be wheeling around two prams alone.

          very true. city select can do the 3rd, but not the second. When you add all the accessories (second seat, bassinet, rain cover), its comes very close to this iCandy.

          Where this iCandy is superior is it can do 40 different combinations.. not that i will use all that, but I will the 2nd one where the toddler will face forward. Yes the kids will want to face forward or backwards depending on where you are going. And the iCandy can do this.

        • spackbace on 02/10/2017 - 13:26

          @ds4:

          City select can be bought for under $800 or so from the states, with the 2nd seat. No way it would be close in price to this one with the few accessories

        • ds4 on 02/10/2017 - 14:43

          @Spackbace:

          the 'City' select is ~$200 cheaper. and its the older model. 'Lux' is the new model.
          i would not be buying it from overseas because if something goes wrong, then shipping charges might get expensive due to its weight. I prefer the local warranty..

          thanks for your feedback too. can you point me in the direction where you would get it for $800?

        • spackbace on 02/10/2017 - 15:07

          @ds4:

          Ebay is the best bet

          Dont need warranty claims for these lol just doesn't happen

        • ds4 on 02/10/2017 - 15:21

          cool thanks.

        • pegaxs on 02/10/2017 - 22:42

          +1 for the “wanky” comment. That is all these prams are. The soccer mum’s “my husband earns more than your husband” pram to have.

          Thanks for the massive chuckles, Spack :D

          I'm not going to be wheeling around two prams alone.

        I got my Baby Jogger City Mini GT for $394 - I'd much rather spend the extra $1000 on something else than worry about "flawless style" and "eye catching iCandy branding"!!!

  • joeiwu on 02/10/2017 - 00:08

    An expensive pram indeed! Pity it isn't available at Babysrus otherwise the price-beat could come in handy for those who are keen for this product.

      The foam on the handle started to break down but that’s only because I strapped a cup holder too tight.

    I've had these 'high end' prams before. Anyone who hasn't, save your $$, there's no value here. I will pay high dollars for things but good value is a minimum requirement for me. Don't get me wrong I understand that style is a subjective component of value but this looks almost identical in form and function to a product I bought 9 years ago so it's not like this is a cutting edge design.

        This is just another classic example when your neighbours drive a Mercedes or BMW, using the latest iPhone, but live in a housing commission.

    • wtfnodeal on 02/10/2017 - 10:09

      Clearly BMW and Mercedes should pay attention to this market too. People drive $100000 cars don't want to push a $300 pram for their kids for sure. If they make prams with their badges on them at $1000 to $2000 price tags on them will sell like hot cakes.

    Bugger me….. Do people pay 2k for a dam pram these days. Just buy a CT110 (postie bike) and ziptie a capsule to the back. After paying 12 months rego you'd still have $700 left….. and for the times that you may actually want to take the kid jogging you could airtasker a uni student to pigyback your child next next to you while you run (aprox 23 times at $30 an hour)

    Given how easy it is to pick up pram deals from all of the high end brands on eBay (Joolz, Bugaboo, Stokke etc) this really can't be seen as a bargain.

  • pennypincher98 on 02/10/2017 - 08:20

      Ha! Easily justifiable when you NEED to keep up with the trend! You cannot be seen in a 200$ pram around Chadstone / Chatswood! How would that go with the latest designer onesies you just picked up for $150! OR your Laboutins! Things have changed. Appearance is King! Sadly. My kids never complained about the medium priced pram.( which I truly hated for being heavy and hard to steer). ;)

      • pennypincher98 on 02/10/2017 - 10:21

    I thought I was bad getting a Phil and Ted's sport tandem for $700 incl all the trimmings. It was the lightest, smallest, simplest tandem capable pram on the market at the time. Just not the cheapest.

    3 kids and 10 years later it was still going strong when I ebayed it for $200. Would easily do another 10 years.

    People buy these >$1000 prams to pose, simple as that. Just dont kid yourself that its somehow worth the money.

    We had a city mini double and paid a premium just to have the one action fold up and the lightweight. Was money well spent ($750). We looked after it really well and sold it for 75% of what we paid for it. There is $$$$ line though where you cross from quality and design into "look at me" territory.
