The GB Pockit Stroller

Finally it’s here!

The Gb Pockit stroller has been buzzing around since the winter when a video went viral showing the tiny fold. And honestly as amazed I was at the video, I really didn’t think it would be a functioning stroller. And boy was I wrong, this stroller is small but mighty. It’s considered a travel stroller, the fold is so small that I can see the usefulness of it for traveling moms. We travel once a year by airplane but we’re on the road A LOT, with three car seats and suitcases I hate to waste space with a big stroller, so this is perfect for us.

Although you are NOT supposed to hang anything from the stroller handles, I wanted to test how the lightness affected the sturdiness. This is with my daughter who is 35lbs on the seat and no stroller weights (which I usually use on the Quinny Yezz- to avoid tipping over).

The Pockit, has the smallest fold in the market, and yes it’s in the Guiness Book of Records! Of course with a stroller this small there are a lot of things that need to be sacrified, so not everything is perfect.

Pros

Specs wise, this stroller holds up pretty well against its competitors. The weight limit is 50lbs making it pretty durable. It has double wheels all around and the front wheels can be locked in place for a sturdier push. The stroller has a 5 point harness and a very tall seat back, even my almost 6 year fit in the seat no problem. It has a sun shade and a small basket.

G1 is about 50″ tall and he has about 2″ more to touch the canopy.

As far as the push, it is good. It doesn’t feel heavy but it also doesn’t feel like it’s going to fall apart. I did notice that on tight turns with a heavier kid, the stroller does loose some of its stability. As you can see even G2, can push his 60lb brother with ease.

To open is very easy, just push the white buttons on top and make sure everything clicks. Now to close it, this is where the fun of this stroller is.

Cons

There are some things I didn’t like. The instability in a curb is definitely up there. Also, I wish it had a bigger sun shade. The truth is the shade is almost like an afterthought. With the slightly larger shade, I would also like to see longer harness for the taller kids. I do wish that it came with a bag like the Qbit. That was probably the biggest fail for me. A travel stroller that fits in a tote bag, but doesn’t come with one!

It is a very very nice stroller. Like I mentioned, it is tiny but powerful. Is it worth $250? It really depends on you. It will definitely be helpful for subway or bus commuters as well. Is it a good everyday stroller? No. Do you travel enough to make the $250 investment is the question you need to make yourself.

Here’s the snip video I shared on Facebook on how to open and close it!
