The patented carry strap of iCandy is built into the chassis, allowing both hands. The elevators, which are an optional extra, help raise the seats and bring children closer to you. This is particularly helpful when your baby begins to outgrow their carrycot or seat unit as it lets you lift them onto the frame with ease and safety.
During testing, Liz took the Peach 6 across a variety of terrains including narrow roads, wet fields, gravel and sports ground. She found the suspension really helped smooth the ride, even over bumps and uneven ground. The front wheels can be turned for easy cornering and the chassis features an easy-to-use one-click locking system which allows you to firmen up the ride on more difficult terrain. The Peach is easy to maneuver through doorways and into shops because of its small footprint and narrow turn circle.
