iCandy Pear
The iCandy Pear is a double stroller for siblings with seats one behind the other - in the stadium seating style. It can also be used for one child only. Purchasing the Apple to Pear Converter Kit, the Pear is transformed from the single Apple stroller/stroller system.
The Pear comes with two bucket-type seats that click onto a special adapter. There is a color-coded slot for each seat, so you can easily see which belongs where. The double adapter has to be rotated to reverse the direction of the seats. Both seats must be facing the same direction as it is impossible to add them facing each other or back-to-back. The smaller-in-size seat units are not identical - one is even smaller, and therefore, the Pear is better suitable for siblings. Thanks to the optional set of fabrics, the seat units are transformed into carrycots so that the Pear can accommodate twins from birth as well. A combination of a seat unit and a carrycot or a car seat with adapters is also possible. Two car seats can be attached to the chassis, however, only facing each other. In mono mode, the larger seat unit clicks into the attachment for the double adapter. Altogether, the Pear offers over 20 various combinations of a carrycot, seat unit(s), and car seat(s), depending on your needs.
The easily maneuverable chassis with suspension can be folded with one forward-facing seat still attached, but not with two seats. The Flavour Packs in various colors allow you to customize your Pear. The Flavour Pack includes a hood, a seat liner, and safety belts pads. There are also many other accessories available optionally.

Parent reviews of the iCandy Pear
- It doesn't take up more space than a single (e.g. in the trunk of our car)
- Can be used with one car seat or a bassinet
- Easy manipulation
- Smaller bassinets
- Canopies could be longer
An excellent tandem. Very compact - it doesn't take up more space than a single model. Great variability of seating options. A huge advantage is the fact that it is a single-to-double, usable for one as well as two kids at a time. It is easy to drive, sturdy, and having suspension. The bassinets are on a smaller side - up to 4-5 months. However, the bucket type seat units are suitable even for smaller babies who are not yet able to sit by themselves. I was using if for kids with an age difference of less than 2 years - I was very happy with it and my daughters liked to ride in it.
- compact for a tandem
- adjustable handlebar
- baby is too far and hidden away, and I cannot see him
- hard to manipulate
- wheels' material
- difficult to adjust the backrest
- small bassinet
I do not recommend it. For us, it was not suitable as a tandem stroller. The baby is lying all the way down, and I was not able to see him. And with my son having health issues, it was a huge disadvantage. The seat with the older child was hard to adjust (bucket type seat), my son had about 11 kg at that time. The bassinet is very small and narrow. The adjustable handlebar is undoubtedly great; the control of the stroller was, however, more difficult. A big plus is that that it fits into a small elevator in apartment buildings.
Your questions about the iCandy Pear
Do iCandy strollers have a lifetime warranty?
Hello, no, they don't. The warranty time is usually given by the law of the country you're living in, and it varies greatly. Mostly, however, it is 1 to 5 years, in most cases 2 years. For iCandy, however, there is an exception for the strollers bought from 2019 - these have 5 years of warranty (and their MiChair has 10 years of warranty even).
I have an iCandy Pear stroller, and I was wondering how I can get new tires and couch it up.
I am not sure what do you mean by couching it up. However, if you are talking about rear wheel tires, I would go to a bike repair shop, they often can provide inflatable tires for strollers and prams as well, and even can help with the changing. If you're talking about whole wheels, even the front ones, you will need to get those as spare parts, either directly from the manufacturer (https://www.icandyworld.com/int/en/collections/ispares.html), or looking for a used Pear to buy for spare parts. It is a discontinued model, so it won't be that easy to get spare parts.
