I have a 2 year old son and 1 year old daughter. We recently traveled to Grand Cayman and since there were a few adults going on this trip, I bought two of these strollers because there was just no way I was taking my double stroller with me. I am a minimalist when it comes to traveling. I don't stuff my carry-on with 3 meals, a coffee machine, and a parachute. I like to have the basic essentials so that traveling is care free and easy. Throw kids into the mix and well, that doesn't seem possible but I made it happen and this stroller was part of the success.
For starters, this stroller is tiny, it's thin, and it's light. This is not a heavy item which is awesome for traveling! Secondly, it folds to the perfect size and yes, I took it on the plane as a carry-on. It slide right under the seat. Literally. Right underneath. When we were getting off the plane in Grand Cayman, my husband was holding my daughter, I was holding my son's hand, we walked down the ramp off the plane and in a total of 6 seconds, I opened two strollers and strapped my kids in to walk through the air port with them. This right here...this was gold. I was able to get us through immigration and customs with my kids securely strapped down so I didn't have to worry about them running a muck. I had moms coming up to me asking me where I got this stroller. They were in awe of the size and the fact that it folded.
Before I bought this stroller, I read through the comments. I wanted to see what people were saying about the stroller. I want to say that the comments about this stroller not being or not feeling sturdy are true. I experienced this first hand. However, it's a travel stroller. It's not built with sturdiness in mind and I'm sorry but if you expect BOB type sturdiness from something that weighs 9lbs and folds up like a piece of origami, then you're delusional. This stroller was epic on our trip. We went for walks all over the place and the stroller did it's job. I'm so thankful that I had this stroller on my trip and when we head to Mexico in October, this stroller will be right by our side.
One thing I want to point out because I also saw a lot of people asking does it come with a bag or does it have straps. It does not come with a bag and it does not have straps. However, I bought my own and I fastened the straps to the handles so I could carry the stroller over my arm which worked out perfectly. I realized that if it was in a bag, you would need to take it in and out of the bag which would be ridiculously annoying and then you would need to do something with the bag when the stroller wasn't in it. I highly suggest buying a strap and leaving it on the handles.

Don't hesitate, Just get it!
Absolutely love this stroller!We recently took this stroller on a trip to D.C. and New York and it was one of the best decisions we made. I wasn't sure if I should take my large stroller with us because after all, most airlines allow you to take a stroller (no matter the size) at no extra cost and we would be walking around the city all day, but we decided against it and went with this one.Navigationi can't tell you how much easier it was to navigate this stroller through large crowds like at the super packed African American museum that just opened in DC or walking across the Brooklyn Bridge on the narrow path that is supposed to allow to two way foot traffic and cyclists.We also walked several hills and because this stroller is so lightweight, it was a lot easier.Although the description says you can only navigate this stroller with two hands, I found myself needing to use one within the first 30 minutes of use and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Sure, it's not the easiest or safest thing to do, but it can definitely be navigated while drinking a coffee or using your phone for directions.ComfortOne thing I was worried about were there being no shocks, but our baby didn't seem to mind. He did notice when we walked across gravel, but that was about it.Our 8 month old seems just as comfortable in this stroller as our city select, if not more. He genuinely enjoys this stroller and being right in the middle of everything that's going on.We put our 2.5 year old nephew in this stroller one night as we walked home in NY and he resisted at first. We told him it was a transformer, and once he saw us unpack it he was in complete awe.DrawbacksStorage is tight. We were able to use a small diaper bag while we were running around that fit over the handles and didn't weigh the back of the stroller down. We carried our jackets, ponchos, umbrella, stroller rain cover in the storage below. The storage below is small. If we had been doing a lot of shopping, there's no way I would have used this stroller.We did have to make one grocery trip and walk several blocks, so I will include that photo.We need to get straps for carrying this once it's folded. We threw ours in a tote while we were out, which worked fine, but I'll definitely be getting straps soon.SizeThis stroller fits in my large leather tote purse, under the seat on a plane, in a carry on with plenty of room. Honestly, it's impressive.We actually put this stroller in our checked bag on the flight home and gave them our pack n play instead (guava, which is also very compact).I also included a photo of us on the metro in NY. The stroller is in the tote

This stroller review for the GB Pockit is quite possible the easiest review I ever had to write! All the features, colors available, and even the compact fold was enough to send my heart a flutter. I can almost shed tears of joy because for the first Time in a LONG time I actually found a stroller (aside from joggers) that my VERY tall 3 yr old did not reach the weight limit for! We live in New York City and public transportation is our Fortay. The GB Pockit has made our lives incredibly easy since my daughter still gets tired on long walks and I can easily pull this stroller out of my bag. Yes.... My BAG! This is the most compact stroller in the world (according to the Guinness world records) which makes it super handy for traveling in the city and abroad when you're juggling a ton of stuff and a kid, but is it truly worth the $249 price tag? I'll let you decide... I've never experienced a stroller so light that could hold so much weight. It can hold a child up to 55lbs making it a great option for your bigger than average kids who are still young in age. It will easily fit into any overhead compartment of the plane or the trains (Amtrak, etc.) It can be taken as a carry-on on ANY airline because its folded size is much smaller than the maximum carry-on size. When I travel, my kid gets a mini suitcase and a backpack. I don't mind checking in her suitcase and leaving her with the GB Pockit as her carry on and a little backpack as her personal bag. I will point out that since there is no recline, this stroller is not recommended for children who can not sit up on their own (at least 6 months). If you're worried about sleep, don't Be! The seat is similar to a Hammock seat allowing comfort. My daughter has no problem catching shut eye while we are out. The canopy is very small and I think could be improved. Maybe make it look like the canopy on it's "predecessor" GB Qbit? If you are worried about storage in the stroller, the basket is Surprisingly a decent size and very easy to access. I was able to fit an 11.5"W X 14" H Crocodile Creek backpack in it when I picked up my kid from daycare. Slightly folded or squished, but it works. When I need more space, I use a Hatch things Stroller bag attached to each side. It worked wonders for me in Atlantic City! Overall, it's a wonderful stroller and in the terms of "you get what you pay for", I must say that it deems true. Although it is a bit pricey, you are paying for the compactness, light-weights, and overall functionality of an amazing travel stroller.Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2016
