Our verdict on each
Bombi
Bombi suits US parents who want a lightweight frame for city days, air travel and a second child, with prices starting at $225. The trade-off is the range, because the top of the line reaches $500 and the seat does not convert from single to double.
iCandy
iCandy suits parents who want a single range covering full-size, compact, travel, double and travel-system pushchairs alongside a matching infant car seat. The trade-off sits at the top of the range, where entry at €380 leaves plenty of room before the priciest pushchair at €3,099, well above the site entry median €87.70.

Pros and cons
Bombi
Pros
- A single handed fold and a cabin size pack together, which most strollers in this price bracket offer in only part.
- The Bēbee Twin Lightweight Double Stroller at $500 gives the range a real double, and the top of the range ranks 15 of 41.
- Adapter straps cover Joie, Evenflo and Britax, so a carrier from a major maker goes on the frame and the chassis stays in use.
Cons
- The frame does not convert from single to double, so a family adding a child buys again rather than extending the seat.
- Support runs on email and help centre only, so a question that needs a voice has to go in writing.
- On weight the range ranks 29 of 42 at 7.94 kg, so a shopper chasing the lowest carry weight has lighter options in the set.
iCandy
Pros
- Stroller types run full size, compact and travel, so a double or a travel system sits in the same range as a compact.
- The iCandy Pip folds with one hand and folds to cabin size, handling both a flight and a supermarket run.
- The matching infant car seat meets the r129 standard, uses an Isofix latch, rotates and has a load leg, at a listed seat weight of 4.2 kg.
Cons
- The entry pushchair is €380, well above the site entry median €87.70, so this is a considered purchase rather than a budget buy.
- The top of the range reaches €3,099, ranking 40 of 41 brands on that measure.
- The lightest frame is 7 kg, a midweight number rather than the class minimum.
Who each suits
Bombi
Who it suits
- US families who want a foldable frame for city days, air travel and a second child, with the Bēbee Lightweight Stroller and the Bēbee Twin Lightweight Double Stroller covering both ends of the range.
- Anyone who lifts a stroller into a car boot or onto a train often, since the fold is single handed and the pack is cabin size with folded dimensions of 60.3 x 50.2 x 25.4.
- Shoppers who want a lie-flat seat from birth, since lie flat seat covers the newborn stage on the same frame.
Who should look elsewhere
- Parents who want a single chassis to grow into a double, since the frame does not convert from single to double and Evenflo Company covers a wider spread with full size, compact and travel.
- Buyers after a full-size everyday chassis, since Kids2Shop lists full size, compact and travel where Bombi lists compact, travel and double.
- Shoppers who want a wagon style pushchair, where Harppa Baby's listed types are double and Bombi's are compact, travel and double.
iCandy
Who it suits
- Parents who want the pushchair and the car seat from a single brand, with the seat meeting the r129 standard.
- Frequent travellers who need a one hand fold and a cabin size fold from the same pushchair.
- Shoppers in the United Kingdom, IE and US who want a brand based in the United Kingdom.
Who should look elsewhere
- Tight budgets. Kids2Shop's listed types cover full size, compact and travel without a double, and iCandy's entry price of €380 is the higher starting point.
- Anyone after a wagon or double-only line. Harppa Baby's range is listed as double, while iCandy spreads across full size, compact and travel.
- Buyers after a US modular and lightweight line. Evenflo Company lists Hummingbird, Shyft Intuiti+ and Pivot Xpand models, a different range shape from iCandy's full size, compact and travel.

Questions about each
Bombi
What does a Bombi stroller cost?+
Prices start at $225 for the Bēbee Lightweight Stroller and reach $500 for the Bēbee Twin Lightweight Double Stroller. The figures give you the entry price and the ceiling of the range, and the gap between them is what an extra seat costs in practice. Check the top of the range against the entry price before choosing.
Does the stroller fold single handed and fit in an airline cabin?+
Yes on each count: the stroller folds single handed, and the folded pack is cabin size with folded dimensions of 60.3 x 50.2 x 25.4. That pairing is what separates Bombi from bulkier frames in the same price bracket, where a single handed fold or a cabin size pack is often missing. Airline allowances vary by carrier, so check your carrier's rules before flying.
iCandy
What does an iCandy pushchair cost at the cheap end?+
The entry pushchair is priced at €380 and the top of the iCandy range is €3,099. Prices are quoted per pushchair rather than per plan, and a stroller is a single purchase, so the entry and top figures are the only two numbers to budget against. Plan for the model you actually want, not the entry number.
Does iCandy sell a car seat that matches its pushchairs?+
The listed seat types are infant, built to the r129 standard with an Isofix latch, a rotating base and a load leg. The listed child limit is 13 kg and the listed seat weight is 4.2 kg, so the seat pairs with the pushchair side of the range.
