Hi all, after a bit of first hand advice as my head is spinning from all the options !
I'm a ftm and I've just ordered the icandy raspberry (the newer model from what I can gather). I love the pushchair and the reason I got it is because we live in the city, no car, on and off buses, small flat and travel a lot. I was told that as it lays flat it was suitable from birth and I could get a 'newborn pod' for baby to lay in.
This is where I get confused - the 'newborn pod' doesn't seem to be being made anymore. There is a 'duo pod' but I don't know if this is suitable for newborns. How do the pods attach to the seat? Which ones should I get?
If anyone has used a icandy raspberry from birth with a pod rather than carrycot I'd love to hear your advice !
I had a bugaboo bee which is really similar to the raspberry - that also had a pod (they call it a cocoon) and i loved it.
Gotta say the babies grow out of it superfast too, so not worth spending hundreds on the baby carrier. I reckon the duo pod looks just like their newborn pod, just renamed. Totally recommend buying a second hadn one on ebay as you can bung it in the washing machine, and it'll be good as new. it should attach with the seatbelts?
Thank you very much for your reply. I agree I think the carrycot would be a bit of a waste for us - the icandy one is £180 too!!!
my only concern is the duo pod looks quite big for a newborn .. hoping someone on here may have used it?
