I’ve been eyeing it for a while but wanted to hear some mama reviews before spending this coin lmao 🛍️

~ How do you find it day to day?
~ Any pros or cons ?

Would love to hear all your experiences & honest opinions 🫶🏽✨

I’m going to be getting one soon too, I’d love to know the pros and cons

Avatar

I also really want one, I saw someone with one and asked her how it was. She said it was super smooth compared to any cheaper ones but they are heavy to lift in/out of cars etc

I have one for my 6 month old in black. Love it and it’s really solid, great on different surfaces and high quality. With the risers it’s nice and high as I’m 5ft11inch.

Cons are that it’s pretty chunky and fills my whole boot. The hood doesn’t give great amounts of shade and the parasol can be a pain to keep adjusting. Also the cup holder and parasol need a little adapter to fit the handle so can use one at a time, not both. Not sure if that’s true for other prams!

I didnt get the icandy carseat - my bundle came with a Joie one. I was told the icandy car seat is really small but haven’t used it so couldn’t comment

Personally hated it 🤣. It’s a well made pram for sure and sturdy, but it’s so big and bulky. Takes up SO much room in the car. I got to 5 months and couldn’t deal with taking the attachments on and off anymore everytime we went out, and the amount of room it took up. I swapped for a stroller and haven’t looked back x

I’ve just ordered the whole set in biscotti - I opted for the maxi cosi car seat instead of the icandy. I went into store to try it out first and look how it’s assembled etc . I love it! 😻

I have a slightly older peach set, using it for my second baby now. Nothing compares to an icandy on how it handles ☺️ also this colour is GORGEOUS! It does scratch easy though.
As others have said it’s bulky and a pain to get in the boot, even on bigger cars. Especially when baby is in the bassinet.

We have the icandy peach 7 and getting the adaptors to make it a double for 2nd baby soon. We love it it’s very heavy and takes up a lot of room but it does feel luxury and it really is all terrain x

I hate it. The handle rattles so much when you are on anything not remotely smooth (recommend giving it a good rattle when you test it and you’ll see what I mean, the metal on metal sound drives me insane). As others have said, bulky and heavy and a pain in the arse to get down as you have to remove the seat and then it doesn’t fold compact at all. I’d probably go oyster or something way smaller like the nuna triv next.

Its just too bulky in my opinion

Avatar

I have it in black! I also have the Joolz Aer and the Nuna Triv. Compared to the other prams I have, the iCandy is heavy and bulky BUT I find it so much smoother to push than the other 2 and I love the basket space! However, I do find myself reaching for it less now as I’m quite petite so handling such a big and heavy pram isn’t ideal for me. But if I’m with my partner, I don’t mind using it as it’s quite nice to use. We have a big car too (Audi Q5) so putting it in the boot isn’t a problem. It’s just having to remove the seat before folding the frame which annoys me lol

Avatar

it’s so stylish n cute right ! But beauty is pain, so I’m not surprised it’s a lil heavy 😭

Avatar

OKAYY! That’s really good to know actually because it didn’t even cross my mind, we have a BMW X5 but I’ll see if we could do a test fitting now you’ve mentioned thanks girl

Avatar

that’s useful to know I’m 5’8 so tall girl friendly approved ahha :))
But yess I’m hearing it’s chunky ugh and that’s pretty annoying about the hood/parasol … but okay noted ! Thanks for all the tips and info <3

Avatar

Nooo 😭.. ok fair enough I’m hearing it’s bulky and takes up a lot of room by many so i believe you, just such a shame for the cute design it has 💔

Avatar

biscotti twinnn! It’s so gorg honestly 😍 love that you :))

Avatar

I was weary of the colour I knew it would have its issues 😩 thanks for being honest girlll & it’s good to know the cybex car seat is still a win aha 🫶🏽

Avatar

that’s really nice to hear, especially since your staying with them for the second baby Ive heard it’s very durable so that’s promising ☺️!!

Avatar

I still have for my 19mo- having another baby soon so will swap back to the bassinet as it is a really good pram.

I’m buying a separate double pushchair as I just can’t warrant buying all the adapters, for the same price of it all I can buy a semi decent double which will last longer, and will be easier in/ out of the car. They are bulky and you do have to take apart each time which doesn’t really bother me. But I don’t wanna be doing it for another 3 years 😅😂

Avatar

I am an impulse buyer and I’ve fallen in love with it too💔 I’ve seen n read the cons and I think most have pointed out its bulky so I guess it’s something I may have to choose to accept or not but thanks sharing girl

Avatar

that does sound frustrating
:( definitely will look out for the rattle noises when testing it out. Thanks for letting me know all of this !

Avatar

see I was thinking to use the same logic as you lol, as long as I’m with my partner I should be okay ahha, we also have a pretty large trunk on our car (bmw x5) which i think is similar size so thinking it won’t be a huge issue but thankuu for all the advise :)

Avatar

I’d definitely recommend the bugaboo dragonfly (only pram I believe that the bassinet setting can still collapse all in one) and the maxi cosi pebble 360 (so easy to get in and out the car) xx

Avatar

Its honestly not worth the hype if i’m honest, I have the same but in truffle. It’s bulky and a pain to get in and out of the car. My little one is nearly 8 months now and will grow out of it really soon too so think we will be going with a Joolz Aer x

Avatar

thanks for all the info, I’ve heard the bassinet is really good so looking forward to that! I think I’ll be the same and not mind the taking apart and putting it back together but I think for your situation like you’ve explained doing that for 3 years.. hell no 😅 but thankyouu!

Avatar

Ive heard about the maxi cosi pebble 360 being really good, I’ll check out the bugaboo dragonfly too thankyouu <3

Avatar

maxi cosi pebble 360 in truffle I ordered with the biscotti candy range the colour looks good on be pram legs if you wanted to use instead of getting black x

Ooo thanks girl will deffo check out !!

Routines?

When did you start to introduce your baby’s routine? Do they just have a night routine or full day routine? Wondering when I should start this e.g naps at the same time everyday.

Any routines you have that work for you, please let me know them with timestamps. my baby is 6 weeks and just wondering when we should start them?

Does anyone else’s baby spit up breastmilk but not formula?

I’m seriously considering seeing a lactation consultant because I don’t understand why he can’t hold down breastmilk but can formula. I use soy formula since I’ve used it with my daughter and I’m thinking it might be due to not getting milk coming in for a few days so I had no choice but to give him formula, but now even if I take breaks in between feeding him breastmilk to burp or try to mix breastmilk and formula, he spits it up sooo much. I’m ready to just give him just formula because I’m worried about him not eating enough

I think Motherhood has made me more bitter than I realized…

This is such a ramble but I don’t know where else to put it all.

I’m four months in and I don’t really have hobbies right now. I don’t do anything for myself except maybe doomscrolling or listening to a podcast while I breastfeed my baby. I used to craft and have game nights with friends. Activities that usually are at least 2 hour stretches. Now if I have an hour free my mind immediately goes to baby, or doing something in the house for baby.

And I thought I didn’t mind. Like I knew postpartum could be very mentally consuming. But I think it’s altering how I view people around me and it’s prodding at my relationship with my husband.

He spends most of his time making food for us, looking after our dogs, playing with the baby, ect. But he still has time for his hobby. Spends maybe an hour a night on it. Even adapted to using a bot for shopping for his hobby after a certain incident where we had to have a heart to heart after he left me home alone with the baby for hours during a busy workday (I work from home) to shop for his hobby.

And yet there’s like this little green eyed monster in me that rages every time I know he’s running off to start up the bot. Even though I’m the reason he does it this way.

We took a family trip last weekend to see his best friend and their kids and let them meet the baby. He brought the laptop. He’s always brought a laptop on trips and it’s never been a problem to me before. But one night we both woke up while the baby was still asleep, and he wandered out of the room. I tried to fall back asleep but couldn’t. So I went to the kitchen to try having something warm to drink to settle me. And he was there at the table running the bot from his laptop. I flipped out at him. But there really wasn’t reason to. It’s not like I needed help with the baby and he was ignoring me. He wasn’t avoiding our friends. He was just awake and unable to sleep and found something to do with his time. Yet my snap reaction was “why the hell would you do this on a family trip?”

I don’t know what it is. Maybe it’s the less complete sleep from baby’s middle of the night feed? My brain being just consumed by baby? Maybe I’m not as over that shopping incident as I thought? But I’m just so annoyed at his hobby right now. The green eyed monster thinks “you could be using that time differently” but realistically to do what exactly??? Stare at our baby in the dark???

I spent probably an hour apologizing to him after I snapped. And he’s of course hurt and frustrated because I said some very mean things in the moment.

I don’t want to be this jealous, angry person. But I also don’t know how to find time for myself in this right now outside of basic hygiene. It’s like I’ve forgotten how to be myself, even if just for an hour.

Maybe I need a therapist.
