gb Pockit Compact Stroller Review

Post contains affiliate links. See our disclosure.

The gb Pockit is the most compact stroller in the world which makes it super handy for travel when you’re juggling a ton of stuff, but is it worth the $250 price tag?

If you don’t want to watch the video, here is my cheat sheet:

Things I loved:

Folds down to the size of a handbag – it easily fits under an airplane seat
It weighs 9.5lbs (most uber-light strollers weigh about 12 or 13 so that’s nutty.)
It is super easy and fast to fold once you get the hang of it
Two ways to fold: everyday and ultracompact
Self-stands when folded
Locking swivel front wheels
One-touch rear brake
Can be used from six months to 55 lbs (that’s about your average 5 year-old) so it’s really sturdy.

Things to consider about the Pockit:

It’s not exactly a novelty purchase
The sunshade is pretty non-existent (they take up a ton of space) but considering that you’re probably in airports or in transit it may be a non-issue
The storage could maybe hold a diaper clutch and a bottle or two but not much else.
It doesn’t recline so don’t buy this if count on stroller naps
It’s not for infants (no recline) so my suggestion would be a carrier that you can toss in your bag or a reclining stroller that you leave at the gate the pick-up after you get off the plane.

If you want to compare it to others:

Quinny Yezz: Better canopy and has the single handlebar for one-handed push, but is a little heavier (12lbs) and a larger fold. Better canopy and has the single handle bar for one-handed push, but is a little heavier (12lbs) and a larger fold.

UPPAbaby G-lite: More storage, better canopy and about $70 cheaper, but weighs more (10.7lbs) and has the typical umbrella fold.

UPPAbaby G-luxe: Reclining seat, way better canopy and storage, but twice the weight. I would go this route if you’re going to use your stroller at the destination part more than the travel part.

In conclusion

I think this is more than a novelty and is a great stroller. It isn’t cheap but, like graphite golf clubs, you are paying for the lightness – it’s expensive to make light, durable stuff. If you travel a lot or have a commute where your child would be in and out of the stroller a lot and space is at a premium, then this is a great fit.
