iCandy Core 2 Pushchair

The BubsNest Verdict

This bundle delivers a luxurious, smooth ride across different terrains with impressive versatility, but the fold is genuinely fiddly and will test your patience. Perfect for parents who want premium quality and don't mind the investment, but skip it if you're regularly collapsing your pram in tight spaces or need something more budget-friendly.

⚠️Practice the folding mechanism multiple times before you actually need it in a car park with a screaming baby—it's not intuitive and requires a specific technique.

BubsNest expert analysis of 6 parenting forum discussions

“Stylish, comfortable pushchair with rural and urban wheel options”

7.8

Solid Choice

The iCandy Core 2 is a well-regarded premium pushchair praised by parents for its sleek design, generous seat, and smooth ride on both city streets and country paths. Many highlight its versatility with interchangeable rural and urban wheel sets. However, some find it challenging to fold, and the complete bundle is quite pricey at over £1,400. Overall, it's a solid choice for those seeking a high-quality, multi-terrain stroller, though the cost may be prohibitive for some.

What parents love

Comfortable rideThe large, plush seat unit and smooth suspension provide a comfortable journey for children, whether navigating crowded shops or exploring off-road.
Versatile wheel optionsThe included rural and urban wheel sets allow parents to easily transition between city and countryside use with a single pushchair.

Worth knowing

Difficult to foldSeveral parents note the Core 2 can be tricky to fold down, especially when the seat is reclined.
ExpensiveAt over £1,400 for the complete bundle, the Core 2 is one of the pricier pushchair options on the market.
Heavy and bulkyA few parents comment that the Core 2 is quite heavy and large, which can make it challenging to lift and store.

Best for

  • Parents who value style and comfort alongside functionality

May not suit

  • Shoppers on a tight budget

Tips from parents
