Common iCandy questions & answers
The most commonly reported iCandy faults, what usually fixes them, and where to get what you need — based on real owner reports, not a guess.
Handlebar cracks or snaps at the height-adjustment joint (Peach)
Multiple owner reports of the handlebar breaking at the point where it telescopes/adjusts for height, sometimes alongside the chassis feeling loose.
Likely fix: This is a structural handlebar fault, not a tightening job — the handlebar (and possibly the adjustment joint) needs replacing. Stop using it if there's a visible crack.
Car seat/carrycot adapters not clicking in securely
Reported failures of the locking mechanism that attaches the car seat or carrycot to the chassis, on one or both sides.
Likely fix: Safety-critical — don't travel with it if it's not clicking fully home on both sides. This is usually a worn adapter part, replaceable without needing a new chassis.
Peach: rear wheel axle breaks or wheel falls apart
Reported wheel/axle failures within weeks of light use, on top of a known folding-hub safety notice on some Peach 7 units.
Likely fix: Check your serial number against iCandy's product safety notice first; otherwise this is a straightforward wheel/spindle swap.
Peach: brake doesn't release one wheel
Reported from around the 6-month mark — one wheel stays locked even after the parking brake is released.
Likely fix: Usually the brake pin/mechanism on that wheel sticking, not the whole axle — a repairer can normally free and re-lubricate it.
Orange: front wheel fork cracks or the wheel collapses
Serious enough that iCandy issued an official recall for Orange 4 units sold April–July 2024 over a manufacturing weakness in the front wheel fork.
Likely fix: Check your serial number against iCandy's recall notice first — if it's covered, the fix is free. Otherwise this is a direct fork/wheel replacement.
Orange: front wheels stick sideways as the child gets heavier
A well-known fault acknowledged by iCandy after around 6 months of use — the front wheels stop swivelling freely and drag sideways.
Likely fix: iCandy has offered a free wheel upgrade for this specific fault — worth contacting them with your serial number before buying a replacement yourself.
