Michelle Keegan, the Fool Me Once actress, was spotted taking her newborn daughter Palma for a walk with her husband Mark Wright on Thursday 27 March. The star was seen pushing an iCandy Peach 7 Coco pushchair, a brand that’s often referred to as the ‘Ferrari’ of prams and has been seen with celebs like the Beckhams, Zara Tindall and Molly-Mae Hague.
If you’re not familiar with the world of baby gear, the name iCandy might not ring any bells. But for those who’ve ever shopped for a pram, it’s a well-known and highly coveted brand. However, this prestige comes with a matching price tag.
Currently retailing at £1249 on Boots, it’s certainly a big-ticket item. But if you’ve had your eye on this particular model, you can get nearly £200 off Michelle’s exact model using the code BABY15 on Boots. Given that Michelle has now been seen with it, we predict this tonal brown model (specifically in the shade ‘Coco’) will sell out quickly, reports the Mirror.
So what’s all the hype about?
It’s got that sleek, stylish look, but it’s also super practical-because let’s be honest, no one has time to wrestle with a tricky pushchair while juggling a baby and a coffee. The carrycot is spacious and comfy enough for overnight sleeping, which is a lifesaver when you’re visiting family or just want a cosy spot for naps on the go.
And the one-handed fold? Absolute game-changer when you’re holding a wriggly little one and need to pack up quickly. What’s great about the Peach 7, reviewer says, is how it grows with your family. It easily switches from a single to a double pram, so if a sibling comes along, you don’t have to start from scratch.
There’s even a built-in ride-on board for toddlers who want to hop on and off-because we all know how indecisive they can be! The basket is big enough for all your essentials, and the puncture-proof tyres mean you’re not stuck dealing with a flat in the middle of a park. Basically, it’s a pram that thinks of everything – hence why so many call it a ‘new parent lifesaver’.
And while the price is undoubtedly steep, you are getting several function combined into one bundle, meaning you’re saving by buying this complete kit that’s suitable from birth to 25kg. Plus, if you have more kids planned, the five-year warranty on it and its durability means you’ll only need to splash out once.
Shoppers on John Lewis, where this same pushchair retails for a slightly steeper £1,299, have lots of good things to say about it….
One delighted parent gushed about their purchase, “This pram bundle was perfect for us. The pram is so robust and well built. We love the style, the colour, in fact everything about it. There isn’t anything we don’t like about apart from it is a little on the heavy side (probably because it’s so sturdy). My sister bought the exact same pram as she liked ours so much,”.
Another satisfied customer shared, “This is honestly the best purchase I’ve made for my son. This pram handles any terrain with ease. It’s got a bit of weight to it which I don’t think is a bad thing, it makes it feel really sturdy but gives a lovely smooth push. The fabrics are lovely and soft. The carry cot is a decent size – my son stayed in it until he was 7months and still had room. It’s also certified for safe overnight sleeping which is a bonus.”
A third happy buyer exclaimed, “As a first time parent this has been a life saver!”.
While some 4-star reviews did mention that they found it “heavy in comparison to other brands”, the overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, suggesting that it’s worth the investment if you’re able to splurge. For those looking for a more budget-friendly option, the Ickle Bubba Stomp Luxe 12 Piece Travel System with i-Size Stratus Car Seat and ISOFIX Base in a chic brown colourway is currently priced at just £499.
