iCandy Peach 8: Everything You Need to Know About the New Generation Peach
One of the most celebrated pushchairs in the nursery world has a new chapter. iCandy has officially announced the Peach 8 - the latest evolution of its iconic Peach range - and it's available to pre-order right now.
At Little Peas, we've been proud stockists of the iCandy Peach range for years. We know how much families love it, how often it comes up in showroom conversations, and why it consistently earns its place as one of the most recommended pushchairs we carry. So when iCandy announces a new generation, we pay close attention.
Here's everything you need to know about the iCandy Peach 8.
Nearly Two Decades of the Peach
To understand why the Peach 8 matters, it helps to know a little of the story behind it.
iCandy has been a British family business since 1933, built on a commitment to quality design and premium materials. The Peach pushchair range has been at the heart of that story for nearly two decades, celebrated by families around the world not just for how it looks, but for solving one of the most practical challenges in modern parenting: what happens when your family grows?
The answer iCandy pioneered was the single-to-double pushchair - a pram that converts from carrying one child to two, on the exact same footprint, without ballooning in size or becoming difficult to manoeuvre. It sounds simple, but getting it right took years of refinement. The Peach became the definitive example of how to do it properly.
Each new generation has built on that foundation. The Peach 8 is the latest step in that evolution - and by the look of it, one of the most significant updates yet.
What's New on the Peach 8?
The Peach 8 introduces a series of genuinely meaningful upgrades, rather than changes for the sake of them.
The most striking improvement is to the carrycot ventilation. The Peach 8 delivers 1,300 cm² of ventilation - a 120% increase over the Peach 7's 592 cm². Ventilation panels sit at both the head and foot of the carrycot, producing over double the airflow of its predecessor. For parents thinking about temperature regulation and comfort across all seasons, that's a significant step forward.
The carrycot itself is now collapsible, making storage and transport considerably more practical - a small change that will make a real difference day to day. The ergonomic release system for both the carrycot and seat unit has also been improved, making the whole experience of switching between configurations smoother and more intuitive.
Out on the street, the Peach 8 benefits from enhanced suspension for a noticeably smoother ride, an extended canopy for better coverage during nap times or on sunny days, and a flip-flop friendly brake with a colour indicator - a detail that anyone who has ever wrestled with a brake in sandals will genuinely appreciate.
The fabrics have been updated too, with a new cut-and-sew design across the carrycot and seat unit, crafted using recycled materials. More on that shortly.
What Carries Over From the Peach 7?
Alongside the new features, the Peach 8 retains everything that made its predecessor so popular:
- Suitable from birth up to 25 kg
- Converts from single to double or twin on the same footprint
- One-handed fold
- One-handed seat recline
- Integrated Ride-on Board
- Roll-up & Dine functionality for mealtimes on the go
- 10kg basket capacity
- Car seat compatible, including with the iCandy Cocoon 360
- Compatible with the iCandy MiStand Carrycot Stand
- Seat unit protector to minimise wear and tear
- Carrycot approved by The Lullaby Trust for permanent overnight sleeping
- 5-year warranty
That Lullaby Trust approval is worth highlighting - it provides genuine reassurance for parents using the carrycot as a full-time sleep space for a newborn.
Peach 8 Colourways: SIGNATURE and EDITIONS
The Peach 8 launches in eight colourways across two distinct collections, each with its own character.
The SIGNATURE range covers four classic, versatile tones: Black, Grey, Porcini and Taupe. These are the go-to choices if you want something timeless and easy to pair with other nursery kit.
The EDITIONS range offers something a little more distinctive: Coffee Bean, Biscotti, Coco and Pecan – warm, considered tones that feel deliberately chosen rather than defaulted to. If you want your pushchair to make a quiet statement, this is the collection to look at.
Both ranges feature a bespoke chassis and premium fabrications. The difference comes down to aesthetic preference and budget, as the EDITIONS colourways are priced slightly higher.
A Genuine Commitment to Sustainability
The Peach 8 also represents iCandy's most considered sustainability effort to date. The main fabric on every pushchair is made from recycled polyester yarn derived from approximately 134 plastic bottles. Each pushchair produced saves around 1.6 kg of virgin petroleum-based materials, reduces carbon emissions by an estimated 2.5–4.2 kg, conserves approximately 12.4 kg of water, and saves between 6–12 kWh of energy.
These aren't just headline figures – they reflect a material shift in how the product is made. For families who care about the environmental impact of what they buy, the Peach 8 offers something tangible rather than simply a promise.
iCandy holds ISO 14001 certification and has a dedicated Sustainability Taskforce working to embed these principles further across the business.
Which Bundle Should You Choose?
The Peach 8 is available in two bundle configurations:
Complete Bundle – includes the pushchair chassis, carrycot and seat unit.
Complete Bundle with Cocoon 360 Car Seat & Base – adds iCandy's Cocoon 360 rotating infant car seat and its base, giving you a complete travel system from day one.
If you're setting up from scratch and want everything in one purchase, the travel system bundle is the more straightforward route. If you already have a car seat you're happy with, the Complete Bundle lets you keep things simple.
