Let me tell you an astonishing fact. This stroller has won the title of Smallest Folded Stroller in the Guinness Book of World’s Records. It can carry up to 55 pounds of weight. That generally ensures that you can use it for up to a 5-year-old baby.

It’s versatile. Despite being so small and portable, this stroller even has a storage basket. You can unfold it quite easily like an umbrella. It’s a beauty to see the folded tiny thing turning into a full stroller.

In this GB Pockit Stroller review, let me get into the features before I discuss the pros and cons of this stroller.

Features of GB Pockit Stroller

The GB Pockit Stroller is called the folding champion. You can switch from pushing it to carrying it within a few seconds using the innovative 2 steps folding system. The folded dimension is 12 x 7 x 14 inches, just the size of a large handbag. The product is designed in such a way that it can stand alone when folded.

Comfy Handle Bars

The handlebars are not adjustable. But the height of the handles from the ground is 39 cm. Which makes it enough height for the average-sized women. The handles are covered with soft foams.

Weight

The stroller weighs only 4.3 kg. which is an average weight of a 2-week old baby. It can be carried in a large diaper bag or handbag. So for working moms or traveling moms who like to travel light, the weight will not add any extra burden.

Seating Arrangements

The seat is really long. As it is 63 cm. from base to the top. It is slightly bent to make the child feel secure and comfortable. It is also fixed, not recline-able. There is head support on the top. The stroller is suitable for children above 6 months and a maximum weight of 55 lbs.

Smooth Wheels

The GB Pockit Stroller comes with 4 rubber padded wheels, which has lock support. The diameter is relatively small 4.5inches. Best on smooth surfaces. You may also take advantage of 360-degree swiveling wheels.

Storage Basket

It’s amazing to see a storage system in this tiny stroller. The storage capacity is not so bad, it can hold up to 11 lbs. of weight. You can fit a medium-sized diaper bag in there.

5 Point Harness

The harness system is really secure. With a 5-point harness system with a center release buckle. It will ensure comfortable riding for the baby. The straps are well-cushioned too.

Sun Protection

For a super-portable and travel-friendly stroller like this, sun protection shade is a must. The good news is they provided it. Not so good news is the shade is too small to ensure 100% protection.

Pros
  • Lightweight and portable, and weighs only 9 pounds. This stroller is the champion in both departments. You can store it anywhere in a little room.
  • The Pockit Stroller may be tiny, but the lifespan is relatively longer. You can use it up to 4 years of age of your child.
  • Ferrari of the smooth surface, the stroller is unparalleled on the smooth surface due to its lightweight.
  • While the stroller can carry up to 55 pounds, the storage basket alone can hold up to 11 pounds.
  • Removable and washable seat fabric.
Cons
  • While the seat is long enough, the canopy is narrow.
  • Maneuverable. Can be used on rough surfaces, but due to its light structure avoid bumps.
  • It has a nice sunshade feature. But it fails to serve its purpose because it provides minimal coverage.
  • No reclining seat. Although the sitting angle is great, some adjustment facility would have been better.
  • The Pockit Stroller folds and unfolds with one hand.
