iCandy Peach 7 All Terrain Storm

Parenting / 18 September, 2024 / Ellie Thompson

When it comes to finding the perfect stroller that balances style, functionality and versatility, the iCandy Peach 7 All Terrain stands out as an impressive option. Designed to handle various terrains while giving you endless options, this stroller delivers on its promises. Paired with the Cocoon Car Seat and Base, it becomes a comprehensive travel system that makes parenting on the go more manageable. What’s more, it can effortlessly convert from a single to a double or twin pushchair without compromising its single footprint.

We were mega excited to unbox the iCandy Peach 7 All Terrain and its compatible car seat to see if it really lives up to the hype. (Spoiler alert: we were not disappointed!)

The iCandy arrived in three main boxes: the pushchair, accessories and the car seat with base, with everything neatly and protectively packaged.

Assembly of the stroller with either a seat unit or carrycot is surprisingly easy, even for first-time parents or those (like me) who aren’t particularly handy. The main components, like the chassis, wheels and seat unit, simply click into place without the need for complicated tools or extra effort.

First Impressions

In true iCandy style, the Peach 7 immediately catches the eye with its sleek, modern design. Like its predecessors, it boasts a premium look, combining high-quality fabrics with durable, lightweight aluminum framing. Inspired by utility street fashion, the iCandy Peach 7 All Terrain features durable, water-repellent, yet breathable fabrics designed to shield your baby from the elements, so come rain or shine, you can get outside this winter and beyond.

Safe Sleeping

For newborns, the Peach 7’s comfy carrycot has a plush fleece-lined interior that offers a warm and secure environment for your baby, making it ideal for day trips and overnight sleeping. With safety approval from The Lullaby Trust, it’s the perfect alternative to a Moses basket or travel cot, providing complete peace of mind while on the go.

Superior Flexibility and Multi-Wheel Functionality

The iCandy Peach 7 All Terrain is all about flexibility. Its multi-wheel set-up lets you switch between three or four wheels depending on your needs, so whether you’re navigating the city or heading off-road, you’re covered. It also offers both parent and world-facing seat options, with added seat elevators to bring your baby closer. In world-facing mode, you can elevate the seat for iCandy’s signature “roll-up and dine” feature, perfect for restaurants and eating on the go.

We took the Peach 7 out for a spin on a range of terrains. From grassy fields, cobbled streets and woodland walks, the stroller is well-engineered to manage all types of surfaces, from smooth urban pavements to uneven country paths. The robust puncture-proof tyres, longer wheel base and sturdy suspension, make it ideal for parents who need something that can handle city life and outdoor adventure. As you’d perhaps expect, the front wheels can swivel for easy manoeuvrability and you can lock them if you prefer more stability on rougher surfaces.

The three-position adjustable leatherette handlebar makes it easy for parents of all heights to push comfortably. At 5’3″, I found my ideal height with ease, and my 5’11” husband found it easy to adjust on the go.

The Peach 7 is known for its brilliant one-handed fold. Of course, with a pram this size, you can’t collapse the chassis with the seat or carrycot in place, but once off, you’ll be impressed by the one-handed movement activated by the button on the handlebar.

The chassis on its own is designed to be lightweight, compact and freestanding so it’s easy to carry, making it a practical choice for both city dwellers and outdoor adventurers alike. It’ll also fit in most car boots, although being an all-terrain stroller, it’ll understandably take up some space.

Comfort and Safety for Baby

Your child’s comfort is a priority with the iCandy 7 All Terrain Storm. The seat unit combines breathable premium jersey knit and water-repellent UPF 50+ canopy fabrics. The seat can be reclined into multiple positions, making it suitable for newborns and toddlers alike. The luxury padding and generous sizing mean your kiddo will be comfy at all times. There’s also an adjustable footrest, making the Peach 7 a stroller that grows with your child.

The 5-point harness keeps your little one secure during bumpy rides, while the stroller’s stability and braking system give parents complete control, even on tricky surfaces. The brakes aren’t flip-flop friendly, but there’s a reason for this. Peach 7 is an all-terrain stroller built for action, and the pushchair’s design prioritises secure locking to provide critical stability on uneven surfaces, so it requires a little more pressure with the foot brake.

Must-Have Pushchair Accessories

There are a range of accessories available to add even more practicality and a whole heap more luxury to your pushchair.

There are the obvious essentials: the rain cover to keep your precious cargo warm and dry and a cocoon footmuff for keeping cosy in colder weather, as well as a generous 44-litre under-seat basket that’ll house your baby’s changing bag and any extra shopping you might pick up along the way. The pushchair’s basket can hold up to 10kg, which is pretty impressive. There’s a cupholder for your water bottle, and a parasol for sunny days.

For parents who like to stay organised, the iCandy changing bag fits neatly on the handlebar, offering convenient storage for the essentials – think nappies, wipes and more. There’s an optional Peach Ride-on Board for older siblings or adventurous toddlers feeling brave.

Cocoon Car Seat and Base

For the ultimate all-terrain travel system, you’ll need to invest in a bundle that includes the Cocoon Car Seat and base for a whole new level of convenience and safety. The car seat is designed to be ultra-secure, with a 5-point harness system and side-impact protection that gives parents peace of mind when driving. The installation process with the base is simple and hassle-free, thanks to the seat’s ISOFIX compatibility and base.

The seat itself is cushioned for newborn and infant comfort. You can wave goodbye to tricky transitions, as getting the seat from car to stroller is pretty seamless. The Cocoon Car Seat clicks easily into the iCandy chassis without any awkward adjustments or adapters, so your baby can nap undisturbed!

Is The Peach 7 The Best All-Terrain Stroller of 2024?

Despite its rugged capabilities, the iCandy Peach 7 doesn’t sacrifice style for function. The contemporary design means it looks just as good in a cafe as it does on a hiking trail. It comes in a range of colours, so you can find one that suits your aesthetic, but the Storm’s muted tones make it a timeless choice. While the price point is higher than some competitors, the quality, features, and long-term use make it a worthwhile investment for growing families.

The Peach 7 All-Terrain Storm Combo retails at £1,249 with other bundles available.
