Oooh..I want to try that....iCandy Stroller

I wanted to title this post, "Cool Stroller Alert" and put flashing lights and things up there so that no one would miss it. That seemed a bit much, but only a bit. This stroller is cool- very cool!
So here is the deal, if you are a mama of one and can't bring yourself to think of a second because you are so in love with your ______ (Fill in the blank with fancy stroller that you love, probably Bugaboo), and cannot find a suitable double stroller, our friends across the pond have a solution for you: The iCandy. And if you are in to stroller gazing, it is certainly eye candy!
We had the opportunity to play around with the iCandy Pear with the owner of a local store who was just as excited to be showing us the stroller as we were to have found it! (If you are local to Ann Arbor, or even within driving distance may I suggest that you head over to Elephant Ears in Kerrytown and see it for yourself! If not, you can Find A Dealer on the iCandy website)
First, the basics about the iCandy company:

They offer three models of strollers: The Cherry- This is their small, lightweight one. The Apple- They call this their "multi-mode system" not just for the many different ways the seats can be used, but also because it can be either a 4-wheeled stroller or an all-terrain three-wheeled jogger. And the Pear- This is basically the Apple with a conversion kit that you buy to turn it into a double. Of course, there are a whole line of accessories of the comfort of you and your little one(s) including: fleece footmuffs, parasol, cup holder, matching diaper bag, converter for the Graco Snugride Carseat, a travel bag, etc.
Now some of the unique and fabulous features of the Pear:

* It started out an Apple. Huh? I mean that for your first kiddo you buy the Apple and then if/when you need space for two, all you need is an upgrade kit, not a whole new stroller!

* There are 20 different combinations you can do with the seats, bassinets and carseat adapters for the this stroller--It can even hold two carseats!

* It has an extra large shopping basket- seriously- you could actually put stuff in there!

* The aluminum frame weighs just 22 lbs- not bad for such a multi-functional stroller.

* The handlebar is totally adjustable- makes us tall people happy!

* Did I mention how cool-looking it is!?

Okay, I am done raving. You are probably wondering about the price. Apparently, the iCandy is not allowed to be sold online and I cannot remember the exact price that we saw on it in the store, but I think I can safely say, be prepared to spend close $900 to get the Pear with all of the bells and whistles (bassinets, carseat adapters, etc. ) Expensive? Yep. Worth it? Let me know!
