iCandy Core
The Core is iCandy's single pushchair with two swappable wheelbases, a shorter one for town and a longer one for rougher paths. It folds in one piece with the seat on, and the seat lies flat from birth. Worth a look second-hand if you want one pram for both pavements and park trails, though taller parents may find the handle low.

Questions
How much does the iCandy Core weigh?
The iCandy Core weighs 11.5kg (chassis and seat, Urban wheels).
How big is the iCandy Core when folded?
Folded, the iCandy Core measures 76 x 62 x 39cm, about 181 litres, in one piece, and it stands up on its own. That's roughly 4.1 times the size of a 55 x 40 x 20cm cabin bag.
Is the iCandy Core suitable from birth?
Yes. It comes with a carrycot for a newborn, and the carrycot is approved for overnight sleep. The seat takes children up to 25kg.
Can you take the iCandy Core on a plane?
Not as cabin baggage: its fold is bigger than most airline cabin-bag sizers. Most airlines will take it at the gate or in the hold instead.
Is the iCandy Core still made?
No, the iCandy Core has been discontinued and replaced by the iCandy Core 2. You can still buy it used, and it's still worth selling one.
