gb - Pockit

At one point we had like 8 lol. They all have such different use cases! A city mini travel system we got when we had our first. Sold it once our 2nd baby was out of the infant car seat. We also had a Doona and loved that. Sold both when he got too big. We had a City Mini double (someone in my parents rich neighborhood was giving it away! And then they paid $$$ to ship it to us, lol.) that we just used around the neighborhood because it was too bulky and a pain to take in the car with the second seat. (Sold this one) A evenflo pivot stroller wagon we took around. A $50 costco wagon that folded up and fit in the car really well. For a while we stopped using the pivot because this one was just easier. A double umbrella we only used for traveling or kept in the trunk, it was a pain because it was short so the adult had to hunch to push. But it was small, we took it on planes to visit my parents. (Sold this one, kids are 6 and 3 now) A GB pockit amazing fold up tiny single stroller. Perfect for travel, took it to NYC and on a cruise. A urbini reversi single stroller, we kept that one even though we used it rarely because it was the only one that could recline super flat for the kid to sleep that had okay storage underneath. After we sold the big double stroller we decided to take the kids to Disney World and I realized wagons weren’t allowed. We considered taking 2 single strollers and quickly abandoned that idea and bought a Graco Sit and Stand double stroller on marketplace for $50 that we love and take with us when we go places like the Zoo and stuff now. Good storage, our older kid can stand or sit and hop on and off easily.

Live in Eastern Queens. Have a Vista and it’s a beast/huge. It’s like the SUV of strollers, used it through different neighborhoods in all 5 boroughs and different terrains outside the city during pumpkin and apple picking times/easy trails. When our kid was around 20 months we got a hand down GB Pockit stroller for the times she didn’t want to walk or for city/travel use. The smaller Cruz/Minu may be better for a one fits all solution.

A 5.5 yr and 4 yr old with one more on the way. - City Select with 2 seats is my full stroller/all terrain - Thule Chariot 2 bike stroller/also a hiking stroller - Valco Duo Snap for side by side stroller - GB pockit that's a bit wonky so lives at grandparents as a spare - Babyzen Yoyo got as second hand travel stroller I am planning to use mainly for my new one - All purpose wagon that never intended to be a stroller but they all pile in

We love our gb pockit. Folds up easily, fit in the bin, and we still use it 3 years later for zoo trips! And it magically fits in our car seat with the cover bag on, if we check the car seat.

I got the go pocket travel stroller especially for Italy.  We travel there frequently and it is great on the cobblestone/ narrow streets. It's so great, we keep it in the car so we don't have to pack our big stroller. We now only use our big stroller around the burb.  I would pack ONE stroller and make it a good one. Traveling with Littles means you pack a ton of stuff. Never travel with two strollers. 

Second the gb pockit. It was the stroller of choice for both my kids. 

GB Pockit! Although fold isn’t one handed, it’s super easy.

I have hello mockingbird specifically because I wanted it to go from a single to a double stroller when I have my second kid. Definitely does NOT maneuver like butter like the uppababy stroller owner in the previous comment mentions I really wish it did though. It makes it especially hard when you have two kids. It does what it’s suppose to do though and I like how it looks, but it is unbelievably bulky and takes up a lot of space in the trunk. And considering it is a single to a double I would imagine that’s somewhat normal, but even before I had my second child, there was still a lot of space being taken. I just really didn’t like the idea that the uppababy stroller was literally twice as much as my stroller and I couldn’t mentally accept paying that much. Although everyone that I spoke to that has that stroller has only good things to say about it so if you’re OK with spending the money then I would just do that. As for travel strollers, I got the GB pocket stroller. I love it because it folds very small and it goes in the upper head compartment of an airplane. That’s important to me because airlines will break your stroller and they are so hard to get a hold of if they do break it. It’s definitely not the scariest and the storage compartment is tiny so you do need a regular stroller on top of that. But it’s very small light inconvenient for travel purposes.

I meant to say sturdiest not scariest lol

And convenience not inconvenience lol I clearly don’t read before I post

I started my stroller journey by buying a highly recommended stroller and hating it... and ended up with multiple ones, which turned into testing over 100 models and reviewing them :) That said: NOT LOVING: Uppababy Vista - rides smooth, but too big and bulky Mockingbird - awful, scary with recalls, doesn't drive smoothly as all Cybex Orfeo - too flimsy Cybex Coya - where do I even begin with this bad fold GB Pockit - not worth your fingers Ergobaby Metro - too heavy for a travel stroller and unfold feels meh SummerInfant 3d quickclose - too good to be true, super flimsy Nuna TRVL - too short seat, too big to take into the cabin and too expensive for what it is Uppababy Minu - too big for a travel stroller model, weird bumper bar and flimsy canopy LOVING: Cybex Priam - amazing, especially the e-version. If I were to get a one full-size stroller this would be my top choice Stokke Yoyo3 - most well-known and guaranteed on board Joolz Aer - smooth ride, great accessories Joolz Hub2 - solid mid-size option Cybex Gazelle - good for 2 under 2 Bombi - good mid-size option Bugaboo Butterfly 2 - didn't like the first version, but these upgrades made it better Mamazing - good budget option Zoe Traveler - amazing canopy and solid stroller Inglesina Quid - cute solid compact stroller

I have a Cruz and a Yoyo. My son is now 2 and I almost exclusively use the Yoyo. However, the Cruz is much better on the streets and more comfortable for both the child and the adults.  That being said, I wouldn’t recommend the Yoyo as a primary stroller for an infant. It works for us now because my son is 2 and walks a lot while we’re out.  We started with the Cruz and got a GB Pockit for travel and that was the worst purchase I ever made. That stroller is garbage. So I switched to the Yoyo which has been a wonderful replacement. I still think the Cruz is the best and was really great for our family before my son was a confident walker. It doesn’t make sense to use it now unless we need to carry a lot of stuff with us, go grocery shopping, or go to Prospect Park. There will be no perfect solution. You really won’t know what works for you until you’re out in the world with your baby and that might be 2 strollers. I don’t like buying more than I need and I resisted getting the Yoyo but am so glad I did. It’s been great for airplane travel, too!
