So after being shown a demonstration of the Peach Jogger and it's accessories my car (Renault Scenic) was loaded up. I was very impressed how the chassis, carrycot and seat unit all fitted in with ease.
I tried very hard to convince the lovely people to let me take home one of each of the pushchairs but left with just one.
As soon as I arrived home I went for a walk to the local shops for a little test drive (and to show it off). I put my daughter who at the time was 2 months old in the carrycot and she seemed very happy and had plenty of room which was good as she's a BIG bubba. The feature I like most about the carrycot is the fact it can be folded down flat. This saves loads of room when travelling.
A week after collecting my Peach Jogger I headed of to the seaside for a short break. It was the perfect opportunity to put the Peach Jogger through it's paces.
The Peach Jogger survived the sandy beach, the pebbles on the beach and cobbled streets! It surprised me how smooth the ride was. My daughter didn't flinch at all. The funny thing is the ride is soooooo smooth that my daughter doesn't go to sleep straight away as she likes a bumpy ride!
This is my first iCandy pushchair and I have to say after buying nearly 20 pushchairs/prams for my son (whose nearly 3) the iCandy Peach Jogger comes out top on my list. The pram is a dream to push. It's feels so solid and you don't even realise it's on 3 wheels, even when going up and down kerbs. The front wheel realigns itself to central position once its raised which is an ingenious idea. No more chasing the pram when lifting it up and down.
The folding mechanism is probably one of the best on the Market. It is so easy my mum can even do it (she can just about fold a stroller). It's as easy as 1-2-3 you can't go wrong.
I have had a quick go of using the seat unit on my 2years 10month old son. Who is 90cms tall. The hood unzips which enables you to raise the hood. So although my son doesn't use a pushchair anymore he is able to do so if he needs to.
I have to add that I love my car seat adapters. For once the car seat is at a nice eye level height and also the seat gently rocks with movement.
I live near London and took the Peach Jogger up to busy West End on a train and two buses. I received numerous compliments and the journey was great! No more getting stuck in the aisle between the seats. Also the adjustable handle enables the pushchair to fit into smaller areas.
In summary I can't fault this pram. It ticks all the right boxes. PROS: It's great on public transports. Folds easily. Fits in the smallest of cars (tested getting it in my friends mini). Very easy to adjust handlebar and seat/carrycot. Stylish. Lightweight. Different rain covers for each unit. Fabulous accessories. Huge basket. CONS: the rain cover for seat unit doesn't have a window to access baby. The valve on the tyres is quite central which makes it a little difficult to pump tyres.
On the whole the iCandy Peach Jogger is an amazing pushchair. This pushchair turns heads. Be prepared for people to ask to "have a go" when at playgroups,
doctors etc.
