iCandy's Most Premium Single Pushchair To Date

Choosing a pushchair is one of the most considered purchases new parents make — and rightly so. It needs to carry your most precious cargo safely, adapt as your family grows. Whether you’re navigating busy high streets, morning school runs, or muddy park paths on a grey Sunday afternoon, your pushchair has to keep pace with all of it.
That’s exactly the brief iCandy set out to answer with the Core 2 — their most premium single pushchair to date. Built on the foundations of the much-loved original Core, the Core 2 refines and elevates everything, creating a pushchair designed not just for one chapter of family life, but for all of them.
Here’s why the iCandy Core 2 stands out as a pushchair that truly grows with your
family.


A Pushchair That Starts at Day One

From the very first day home from hospital, the iCandy Core 2 is ready. The pushchair comes complete with a beautifully crafted, fleece-lined carrycot that’s been approved for permanent overnight sleeping, making it a genuine alternative to a Moses basket or travel cot for many families.
The carrycot’s interior is soft, cosy and designed to feel like a true sanctuary for your newborn, while external ventilation panels ensure healthy airflow around your baby as they sleep. It’s the kind of thoughtful detail that makes a real difference when you’re in those early weeks of parenthood, when you are grateful for anything that
helps your baby settle.
A padded head-hugger provides gentle support for smaller babies, keeping them snug and secure from the very beginning. It’s a feature that might seem minor, but for parents of newborns, it’s exactly the kind of reassurance that matters.

 


Comfort and Performance as Baby Grows

As your baby develops and becomes more curious about the world around them, the Core 2 transitions seamlessly into its lie-flat seat unit. This spacious, ergonomic seat continues to support healthy development while giving your little one the perfect vantage point to take in their surroundings — whether parent-facing or world-facing, depending on what your baby needs that day.
Under the surface, the Core 2’s advanced dynamic suspension system does the hard work of keeping rides smooth. Pavements, cobblestones, gravel paths, none of it disturbs the calm interior of the pushchair. Parents often underestimate just how much a suspension improves the everyday experience, both for the child riding and the adult pushing.

The extendable UPF 50+ canopy is another feature that earns its keep through every season. Adjustable to shield against strong sun or light rain, it gives your baby reliable protection without fuss, year-round.


Designed For Modern Families

 

The iCandy Core 2 isn’t just about the baby — it’s been designed with the whole family in mind. One of its most practical features is the integrated Ride-on Board, cleverly built directly into the chassis rather than attached as a clunky afterthought.


Supporting up to 20kg, the Ride-on Board gives older siblings a place to rest tired legs during school runs, supermarket trips or longer outings. If you’re managing a toddler alongside a new baby, this feature alone can be a genuine game-changer for daily logistics.


For those who need a complete travel system, the Core 2 is compatible with a range of infant car seats, including the iCandy Cocoon 360. This allows parents to transfer a sleeping baby from car to pushchair without disturbance — a simple functionality that anyone who has ever successfully transferred a sleeping baby will tell you is absolutely priceless.


Summer Mode

The Panoramic ventillation panels on the carrycot ensure your baby stays cool on those summer outings, while the extendable UPF 50+ canopy on the seat unit is adjustable to shield against your little one against strong sun.


Practicality in Style

 

Beyond performance, the Core 2 makes a quiet but confident style statement. Available in three contemporary colourways — Black, Storm Grey and Sandstone. Each is paired with a sleek Matte Jet Black chassis that keeps the overall look cleanand refined.


iCandy has always understood that parents don’t want to choose between a
pushchair that looks good and one that works well. The Core 2 offers both, with understated, design-led aesthetics that feel at home whether you’re walking through a city park or a market town on a Saturday morning.


For those who like to stay visible on darker winter evenings, the optional Hub Light accessory can be added for extra visibility in low-light conditions — a forward- thinking addition that speaks to iCandy’s commitment to combining innovation with everyday practicality.

FAQ's

How much is the iCandy Core 2?

The iCandy Core 2 Combo combo is priced at £899. This includes the pushchair, carrycot, seat unit raincover, carrycot raincover, bumper bar, elvator adapters and car seat adapters.

Can my baby sleep in the carrycot overnight?

Yes — and this is a lovely bonus. The carrycot is approved for permanent overnight sleeping, which means it can genuinely double up as your baby's main sleep space in those early weeks. The fleece lining keeps things snug, while ventilation panels help maintain good airflow throughout the night.

Is the iCandy Core 2 suitable from birth?

Yes, it's ready to go from day one. The Core 2 comes with both a carrycot and a lie-flat seat unit, so your newborn is properly supported and comfortable right from those very first outings.

Is the Core 2 easy to fold?

Very. The pushchair collapses in a single motion with the seat unit still attached — whether it's parent-facing or world-facing. No need to remove anything first, which makes getting in and out of the car much less of a faff.

How does the suspension handle different terrain?

Really well. The dynamic suspension system smooths out the bumps whether you're on city pavements, cobbled streets, or gravel paths in the park. The pushchair stays responsive and easy to steer regardless of the surface beneath you.

Does the seat face both parent and world?

Yes. You can switch between parent-facing and world-facing positions depending on your baby's age and your preference — handy for keeping an eye on a newborn or letting a curious toddler take in the view.
