It was designed with a keen eye for modern performance fabrics and outdoor leisure trends, combining sleek sporty elements with off-road capability to create a head turning visual masterpiece.
iCandy's unique carry strap is incorporated into the chassis and frees hands. The innovative elevators are an option to raise the seats so that your children are closer to you. This is particularly useful when your child is outgrowing the carrycot or unit seat. You can easily lift them onto the frame safely.
During the testing, Liz took the Peach 6 on various terrains, including narrow roads, wet fields, gravel and sports ground. The suspension helped her to enjoy the ride on rough and difficult terrain. The front wheels rotate to allow for easy maneuvering around corners and the chassis comes with a simple one-click lock which allows you to tighten the ride for more difficult terrain. The Peach is a compact footprint and a tight turning circle which makes it easy to access and exit doors and shops. It's also great for public transport, and will fit a standard wheelchair space as well.
The handlebar can be adjusted to four different positions and has a leatherette cover that is extremely comfortable in the hand. Folding is easy and one-handed, with an auto-lock. It's small and stands on its own when folded. It also has a handy pocket at the rear of the seat unit that's ideal for keeping things like keys and phones.

The only real downside was the fold, which could take some time to master. When folded, it can fit into the car boot of medium size. Rain covers are also included.
