The Most Popular Celebrity Pushchairs
As well as the most influential famous parents, iCandy also analysed Google data to reveal which celeb pushchairs we’re searching for the most.
Topping the list is Molly-Mae, who shot to fame on series five of UK Love Island after finding love with Tommy Fury and capturing the hearts of the nation. Molly-Mae has brought fans along with every step of her journey since leaving the villa and has shared everything from her career highs to navigating the road to becoming a parent. Since becoming a mum, she’s been spotted using the iCandy Peach 7, in Biscotti and the iCandy Core pushchair as she documents her daily life with baby Bambi.
In second place is the Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, with royal fans around the globe intrigued to know which pushchair the future Queen of England’s chose for her children. From ‘baby watch’ outside the Lindo Wing of London’s St. Mary’s Hospital, to the many public outings – what the young royals wore, and how they travelled, has often been shared far and wide online.
Kylie Jenner ranks in third place, with the social media star’s stroller piquing her fans’ interest. The mother of two has been fairly secretive about her family life, deciding to share less than some of her famous sisters. However, with so much influence over younger fans, the TV personality does give the odd glimpse into her life on her social platforms.
Rounding off the top five are The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, in fourth position, who has been settling into her new life with Prince Harry with their two children, and Kim Kardashian, in fifth place – the famous reality star who’s been influencing fans with her fashion choices for over 15 years.
