ICandy Peach 2018 Pram Review – Iconic ICandy Improved

The ICandy Peach 2018 – Iconic ICandy Improved

The ICandy Peach 2018 is an absolutely stunning, luxury, high end pram. It also comes with a luxury, high end price point – retailing for around $2k. Though the ICandy Peach 2018 isn’t just stylish, it’s also incredibly function and thoughtfully designed.

Icandy peach 2018 vs original

But before I dive into the review of the ICandy Peach 2018 I’ll quickly go over some of the upgrades between the current ICandy Peach and the previous model. The ICandy Peach 2018 weighs less than the original ICandy Peach while also offering a bigger seat, bigger basket, and you can use the full size bassinet on the frame when you have it set up as a double pram.

Icandy peach 2018 bassinet and seat

The ICandy Peach 2018 comes with the fabric for both the bassinet and the upright seat – which can be made with the same seat frame. So it is ready to go from birth through to toddlerhood. The bassinet is a good size, with a standard 9kg weight capacity, and it is suitable for overnight sleeps.

It also has a huge weight capacity of 25kgs – and a good sized seat to go with it. Also the highest shoulder straps are positioned to accommodate a very tall child. My tall six year old was able to be securely strapped into the seat, even though she’d outgrown the height of the hood. So you will get many years out of this pram.

And of course the ICandy Peach 2018 functions as both a single or double pram, so you’re ready for the future as well. Though you will need to buy an additional seat frame and adaptors separately to add the second seat.

Though when you add the second seat the weight capacity of each seat drops to just 15kgs. Which, just like the ICandy Orange which I review last year, is very disappointing. The ICandy Peach 2018 could work as a double if you’re expecting petite children. But my own children would have outgrown the weight limit before their second birthday.

Icandy peach 2018 seat elevators

While it doesn’t come with the second seat adapters, it does come with these super cool seat elevators. They can either be used to lift baby up high and close to you for better eye contact and closer communication. Or up and forward, sitting your child up to a perfect table height. Though again, using the elevators restricts the weight limit to just 15kgs. So it’s for babies and little toddlers, but I still think it’s a great included accessory.

Overall it’s an absolutely stunning pram, and had has some very thoughtful upgrades to the previous model. It’s still a shame that the weight limit drops to 15kgs per seat in double mode, but otherwise it is a lovely pram.

I borrowed this ICandy Peach 2018 from the lovely team at Baby Train. I was not paid in any way for this review.

  1. Thank you so much for this, the video on setting up as a double is really helpful. I wondered if you could help with what adapters are needed? I’m going to buy some and not 100% sure and want to make sure I get the right ones. I’ve found these on the icandy website do they look right?
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    1. Hi Sammy,

      Great question! It is very confusing, especially as each new version of the Peach has different adapters and compatible parts. So it’s important to match the adapters to the exact year/model pram.

      Presuming you have an Icandy Peach 2018 (which I believe is still the most recent version, and the one featured in this review, to convert from a single to a double with the Peach you will need to buy the “Converter” set, in the matching colour to your pram, which will include the second seat frame and hood you need to complete your double pram, as well as the adapters. They look like this : https://icandyaus.com.au/products/peach-converter-phantom-grey-twill?_pos=8&_sid=b5dbe3afe&_ss=r

      However, if you do already have two complete seats (two seat frames, two hoods, and then a combination of bassinet and seat fabrics) then all you need is the adapters – https://icandyaus.com.au/products/peach-converter-adaptors-1?_pos=1&_sid=b5dbe3afe&_ss=r

      It is quite confusing, I hope that helps!

      Kind Regards,

      Rachel
