iCandy Pear InformationiCandy Peach Blossom & Twin Information
The iCandy Pear is an eye catching pushchair with over 20 possible interchangeable combinations for twins or a baby and toddler. Seat units can be easily changed into carrycots using convertor fabrics (available separately). Compact fold and light weighing only 10.3kgs.The Peach Blossom 2 is a single pushchair that converts into a twin or toddler / baby travel system. Offers flexibility of modes with carrycot, car seat and pushchair seats. The styling, quality fabrics, and polished aluminium make for one of the best looking pushchairs on the market. Light and very easily manoeuverable even with older children in. The new 2012 Peach Blossom / Twin 2 offers two equal sized, upright seats both capable of taking a weight of 15kgs. The seats are well spaced offering greater comfort to the children. The Upper and Lower Carrycots are now the same size. The 2012 Peach Blossom / Twin will also take up to two Maxi Cosi Pebble Infant Seats.
Versatile travel system especially for newborn twins with the use of car seats or carrycots. Eye catching design. Compact one hand fold with easy to store stacking seat units. Easy to push. Can be used as a single pushchair at any time.A great looking pushchair. Compact. Light but sturdy. Pushes easily and handles superbly even with older children on board. Travel system with various combinations for carrycot, car seat and seating options. Great for twins from birth to approx 3 years old as well as for a toddler and baby. Easy one handed fold to a compact size. Extendable soft comfy handle. Easily altered into a single stroller. Highly recommended!
Becomes heavy to steer with older children in. Seat units aren't that roomy. We suggest a maximum age of approx 2 yrs in the large seat and 18m in the smaller seat. Seats only face the same way as the other- ie both forwards or both backwards. The raincovers are awkward to attach and not very big. Shopping basket small and access is poor.
The iCandy Pear will be replaced by the new iCandy Apple 2 PearExpensive. Basket is restricted in Blossom or Twin mode. Lots of components to take apart and to fit but they are easy to do. Access to a baby or lifting an older child into the lower position may be difficult.

The two Pear seats HAVE TO face in the same direction ie both forward or both rear facing. The exception to this is when using two car seats, when they can face each other. The Pip convertor turns round 180 degrees. But the 'blue' seat will always remain in the higher position, and the 'yellow' seat will always be in the lower position. This is worth noting if you have a toddler and a baby combination as the baby will be tucked away behind the toddler in parent facing mode, or with its back to you if the toddler is facing outwards.
It is possible to upgrade an iCandy Apple to a Pear by buying the Pip Convertor and Second Seat. This would give a larger 'blue' seat with the small 'yellow' seat. It is not possible to use the larger 'blue' Pear seat with the Apple seat as the Apple seat has to sit in the 'blue' position on the Pip convertor.
In single mode, the Pear uses the larger 'blue' seat but it can only sit parent facing OR outward facing - not both together. The Pear comes with the seat parent facing but there are instructions for how to unscrew & turn the adaptors around to make the Pear outward facing on the iCandy website.
The iCandy Pear will be replaced by the new iCandy Apple 2 PearThe changes to make the the lower seat of the Peach Blossom upright have transformed the Peach Blossom's use and longevity especially for older toddlers. Attention has been paid to the comfort of older toddlers including longer safety harnesses, hoods which can be moved upwards, and unzippd at the back to create more head room, and removable seat liners offering extra seat room. The Peach Blossom 2 is now a superb tandem.
Please note: the Blackjack Peach Blossom 2 shown in the photos below is a one off pushchair that was given to Best Buggy to test out. There will be no more made in the UK with the new Blossom kit on in this colour way.
