When shopping for a stroller, new parents often encounter brands that include a car seat in a bundle. While this may seem convenient at first glance, it can limit your options and tie you to a specific car seat that may not suit your needs. iCandy takes a different approach—and while some might see this as an inconvenience, it’s actually a huge benefit for parents in the USA.
Let’s explore why iCandy doesn’t offer a bundled car seat, the flexibility this provides, and how the included adaptors give you the freedom to choose the best car seat for your baby and lifestyle.
Why iCandy Car Seats Aren’t Available in the USA
The iCandy car seat is manufactured to meet the British and European safety standards, which are among the highest in the world. However, car seats sold in the USA must pass specific tests and standards unique to the American market. While iCandy’s car seat exceeds safety requirements in the UK and Europe, it doesn’t tick the exact regulatory boxes for the USA.
Rather than rush to produce a car seat just to meet US standards, iCandy has focused on what parents need most: flexibility.
The Advantage of Car Seat Adaptors
To make life easier for parents, iCandy includes car seat adaptors as standard with its Orange and Peach strollers. These adaptors are compatible with leading car seat brands such as Nuna, Maxi Cosi, and Cybex, allowing you to choose a car seat that works best for your baby and lifestyle.
This flexibility means:
- You’re not locked into one brand’s car seat.
- You can select a car seat that meets your specific preferences, whether that’s style, weight, ease of use, or longevity.
- You have the option to prioritize a car seat that suits your family’s budget and needs.
Why Flexibility Matters: Different Families, Different Choices
Every family is different, and iCandy’s approach ensures you can pick a car seat that aligns with your unique circumstances. Here are two common scenarios:
1. Choosing an Infant Carrier for Short Trips
Many parents opt for an infant car seat that’s lightweight and easy to carry. These car seats can be attached to the iCandy stroller frame with the included adaptors, making short trips a breeze.
However, it’s important to note that babies should not remain in a car seat for extended periods. Prolonged use can impact their spinal development and airways, so it’s always best to transfer your baby to the stroller’s bassinet or seat unit for longer outings.
2. Choosing a Long-Term Car Seat
Some parents prefer to invest in a car seat that can grow with their child, taking them from birth through toddlerhood and beyond. These car seats may not attach to the stroller, but that’s perfectly fine! If you don’t plan to use your car seat with the stroller, the iCandy’s included bassinet and seat unit provide all the functionality you need for strolling with your baby.
How iCandy Empowers Parents
By including car seat adaptors rather than a bundled car seat, iCandy gives you complete control over your car seat decision. This approach ensures that:
- You can choose the safest, most convenient car seat for your family.
- You’re not forced into a package that may not meet your needs.
- You have the flexibility to adapt as your baby grows.
More Than Just Flexibility
The iCandy Peach and Orange strollers are designed to offer unparalleled versatility for modern families. From their breathable, overnight sleep-approved bassinet to the spacious, reclining seat unit, these strollers provide everything you need to keep your baby comfortable and safe.
Plus, with features like:
- A large under-basket for storage,
- A removable pip-zip bag for on-the-go essentials,
- And a smooth, stylish design loved by celebrities, entrepreneurs, and royalty
You’re investing in a stroller that combines form, function, and premium quality.
The Final Word: Freedom of Choice
While some parents might initially view the lack of a bundled car seat as a drawback, it’s actually a huge advantage. iCandy’s decision to include car seat adaptors gives you the freedom to choose the car seat that fits your family’s needs, rather than being tied to a one-size-fits-all solution.
Whether you prioritize a lightweight infant carrier or a long-term car seat, iCandy ensures you’re in control—and that’s what modern parenting is all about.
