iCandy Raspberry Review
B Loves: Ultra compact and lightweight, ideal for the City
Seat The seat unit is small and cosy and will face the front or the rear. Buy the basic colour model of seat and then add your Flavour Pack in a choice of vibrant colours – there’s even a free seat liner on offer in your chosen colour. It can be reclined through three positions and the lowest position if fully flat, suitable for newborns. We’d recommend adding the newborn pod, which turns the seat into a snug little bed for your baby. It is easy to turn it from front to rear facing and the fabric is water resistant. The hood is a nice neat shape and easy to put up or down without clacking noises that could wake your baby.
Chassis Despite its small size, this has surprisingly good independent front and rear suspension, and the neat little chassis is extremely light and easy to fold and you can leave the seat unit attached as you fold in any position – reclined or not and in either forward or parent facing mode. It locks and will stand alone when it’s folded and to unfold you release the lock and push it open, locking it in place with your foot. Due to the small size, it is very manoeuvrable and you can adjust the handle to suit any pusher. It can be bought in a black or aluminium finish.
For such a tiny pushchair there is another surprise – a fairly generous storage pod that will take 5kg of luggage, making shopping trips easier and allowing you to store your baby’s items for the day.
Wheels the easy-push wheels are small and easy to steer around tight corners, great for shopping and tight city corners. They swivel making through 360 degrees but don’t have a locking option. They are made from a durable plastic and are puncture-proof.
Extras Add your choice of accessories to personalise your Raspberry and make it perfect for your lifestyle; there are car seat adaptors, seat liner, newborn pod, footmuff, cup holder, parasol holder and of course the flavour pack.
Colours The chassis comes in Moonrock, which is a matte silver chassis with black accents, or Chrome, with fabric options in Greenwich Grey, Piccadily Pink, King’s Road Khaki, Savile Row Sand and Bloomsbury Black.
