gb Pockit Air All Terrain Compact Travel Stroller (Open Box)

For review clarification: I got the city model with the bigger canopy. Child was forward-facing with straps buckled. This was amazing. It’s nearly one-hand light enough to carry. I got this for specific purpose of a school trip to Washington D.C. and we’re in California. I had 2 school daughters and my third baby daughter on the trip. In a nutshell this stroller was absolutely superb for quick on and off of buses and flights. It would have been lacking for space and independence. I got to about 60 seconds each load and unload but it required other humans to help hold baby or help with stuff. The stroller really requires two hands to collapse, but only one hand to deploy. Going through all the security checkpoints where they commonly make you collapse the stroller this was a stellar choice. NOTE: I would not purchase this as a primary stroller. It is a luxury purchase that made travel and walking tours easier (and I regret nothing! lol). I will be gifting it to my kids and loaning it to friends if I hear they’re traveling and buying one for themselves isn’t possible. Pros I experienced: - with a separately purchased travel bag, this was a dream to take on the plane (AKOZLIN foldable stroller bag in orange) - very easy to get in and out of vehicles all day for days at a time (but not with carry bag, just bare stroller) - tolerated a mild-moderate amount of abuse (rushing to collapse/fold, sometimes wheels were turned wrong way) - it’s so lightweight that you can literally grab whole unit with baby inside and navigate steps (though I really don’t recommend it for human balance issues); two-person stairs were easy easy easy - 3-month old baby was comfortable in it (bundled in parka half the time so posture support wasn’t a huge problem) - extremely easy to move it; can nearly spin in place; can fit through narrow walkways - very comfortable to walk to the side and drive it with one hand; can interact with child better - structure was stable enough (and more stable over another brand I bought and tried out) - baby had a lot of wind protection with canopy and seat sides. I used hair ties/bands to secure a blanket and she was totally out of the rough D.C. winds in February. - had a big enough storage pocket at bottom I could easily keep some wipes, a few diapers, and my water cup/bottle… but not whole diaper bag. Tip: store your water from the front - very easy to pick up and stow quickly and it stayed upright enough to not leak Cons I experienced: (while nothing here was a deal-breaker for me, it might be for you) - those straps are difficult to get used to; I need to make marks to help me aim better - it tipped backwards with too much weight on handles. I’d even recommend lightly pulling up or focusing on pulling up while you’re driving it. This is not a stroller you can really lean any weight on at all at handles. (But the hidden pro? It’s structured/padded enough that baby did not get hurt or even feel a thing.) - no cupholders. If you’re coffee addicted or want this as a jogger - you’ll be disappointed. - no handlebar tray at all (but given what I experienced with tipping - I get it) - very little storage space but if you plan your moves, it’s not a problem; not suitable for shopping trips unless you go stow bags in the car after each purchase - it’s so light it will blow away in the wind. Get immediately used to the brake and use it often. - it doesn’t come with its own travel bag Wish ideas for company: - stabilize the backward tipping more (if possible without affecting weight) - offer more colors; this will get lost in a sea of strollers at places like Disneyland - extendable handlebars for taller parents. I’m 5’6” (168 cm) and it was borderline short and had me kicking it while walking fast/bigger strides. My 6’2” husband finds this stroller unusable and must walk to the side and drive one handed - please add placement marks on straps/harness. It’s not super intuitive where to aim around the circle anchor in the middle and is very frustrating when you’re trying to move fast (I’ll try to come back and add pictures to illustrate straps but if you get the stroller you’ll quickly see what I’m talking about.)
