Our verdict on each
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.
Silver Cross
Silver Cross suits parents who want a British name with a documented safety result and a warranty, and who will stretch to the top of the price range for a full-size or travel system. Its lightest pushchair weighs 5.6 kg, which is light for the category.

Pros and cons
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.
Silver Cross
Pros
- Lightest listed pushchair weight is 5.6 kg, among the lighter figures on the comparison.
- The Nia folds with one hand and to a cabin-friendly size, with folded dimensions of 54 x 45 x 23.
- Seat range covers infant, convertible and all in one, so a newborn setup through to a booster can come from one maker.
Cons
- The top of the range reaches £3,715, so a full travel system pushes the outlay well beyond the entry point of £149.
- Pushchair types cover full size, compact and travel, and the pram and double formats sit at the rarer end of what the comparison lists.
- Support runs on phone and help centre only, with no live chat or email contact listed.
Who each suits
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.
Silver Cross
Who it suits
- Parents starting from birth who want a lie-flat seat, since the Nia lists lie flat seat.
- Families who want pushchair, car seat and sleep space from one maker, with cots and a bedside crib in cot, bedside crib and mattress.
- Travellers who want a fold that meets cabin size and a warranty behind the pushchair.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone on a tight budget, since the range runs to £3,715 and Evenflo Company covers a similar set of stroller types at full size, compact and travel.
- Shoppers wanting a live chat or email route, because support runs on phone and help centre.
- Buyers outside GB and IN, where Kids2Shop lists a comparable stroller spread of full size, compact and travel.

Questions about each
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.
Silver Cross
What does a Silver Cross pushchair cost at the entry point and at the top?+
The pushchair and stroller range starts at £149 and reaches £3,715. That is a broad spread, so the entry price is only a guide to the cheapest single pushchair. A full travel system with a car seat and a cot will sit well above the entry figure.
Which Silver Cross pushchair is the lightest to carry?+
The lightest listed pushchair weight is 5.6 kg, and that model places among the lighter options in our comparison. The Nia also folds with one hand and folds to a cabin-friendly size, measuring 54 x 45 x 23 folded.
