Deciding between the iCandy Peach 8 second carrycot fabric and second seat fabric? Our guide breaks down the differences to help you choose the right double kit for your growing family.
Quick answer
Choose the iCandy Peach 8 second carrycot fabric if you need a lie-flat option for a newborn, or the second seat fabric for an older child who can sit upright. Both require a separate converter base, so factor that into your purchase.
Key difference: carrycot vs seat
The main distinction between the iCandy Peach 8 second carrycot fabric and the second seat fabric is the age and sleep position of the second child. A carrycot provides a fully flat, cocoon-like space essential for newborns who cannot yet sit up, while a seat is better suited for a toddler who needs an upright, structured position. Both fabrics are designed to integrate seamlessly with the Peach 8 pushchair chassis, but they serve different stages of your child's development.
Why both need a converter base
Neither fabric set includes the converter base required to attach a second seat or carrycot to your Peach 8. This is important because it means the total cost of the double conversion is higher than just the fabric kit itself. When budgeting, remember to add the separately sold converter base to your shopping list.
Decision rules
- Choose the second carrycot fabric if: Your second child is a newborn (birth to about 6 months) and needs a lie-flat position for safe, comfortable sleep during walks.
- Choose the second seat fabric if: Your second child is an older baby or toddler (6+ months) who can sit independently and prefers a more upright, seated position.
- Remember the converter base: Both fabric kits require a converter base (sold separately) to attach to your Peach 8. Confirm you have the correct base before ordering the fabric. Check your existing converter base compatibility or add it to your cart to avoid disappointment.
