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.
Unilove Baby
Pros
- The lightest frame in the range weighs 4.99 kg, which places Unilove Baby at 3 of 42 brands on weight.
- The Pika Travel Stroller carries both a single hand fold and a cabin size fold, so it clears a gate and an overhead locker rather than travelling as checked baggage.
- The seat is rated to 24.9 kg, so the stroller carries a child well past the earliest toddler years instead of stopping soon after walking begins.
Cons
- Support runs on email, help centre and community only, so there is no phone line or live chat in the list.
- The stroller range covers compact and travel, so anyone after a full-size or double stroller is better served by Evenflo Company, which lists full size, compact and travel.
- Warranty cover runs 1 year, so a fault reported after that point sits with you.
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.
Unilove Baby
Who it suits
- Parents shopping in the listed Asian markets and the US who want stroller and sleep gear from a single brand.
- Travellers who need a single hand fold to cabin size and a frame light enough to lift, since the lightest model weighs 4.99 kg.
- Families setting up a bassinet or bedside crib who want the mattress supplied and a stated sleep standard.
Who should look elsewhere
- Parents who need a full-size, double or travel system stroller, since Evenflo Company lists full size, compact and travel where Unilove Baby lists compact and travel.
- Buyers set on a double or wagon format, because Harppa Baby lists double as its type.
- Anyone planning to hire rather than buy, since the rental option is listed as no; Kids2Shop is the alternative for shoppers who want full size, compact and travel in one place.

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.
Unilove Baby
How much do Unilove Baby strollers cost?+
The outdoor collection starts at $199.99, and the range tops out at $375 with the Aero X Compact Stroller. Those are product prices, so the figure you budget for a model is the figure you pay for it. Comparing the two ends tells you what the extra specification actually costs.
What safety standard do Unilove Baby strollers meet?+
The stroller range is listed against astm f833, the travel stroller standard. The Pika Travel Stroller pairs that with a single hand fold and a cabin size fold, so the specification and the travel friendly shape sit on the same model. Read the listing for whichever model you are buying, as standards can differ across a range.
