gb - Pockit+ All-City

We have the gb pockit all city which is slightly heavier, but it’s been the daily workhorse for over 4 yrs now. 

I went with a gb pocket all city. It’s 2yrs old now and we’ve flown several times with it in the cabin, and I consider it our daily driver. I’m happy with it. The hammock was a little slouchy when my son was like 6-9 months, but not so much an issue once he got taller. I like that i can one hand push it, too.

Mom of a 45 lbs toddler here- we love our Pockit City!

Just came back from a 2-week trip with a toddler to Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto. Firstly, I'll say to throw any strict schedule out the window (except for things you really need to book ahead of time). This helped to manage our expectations of travelling with a child and we only planned ahead by having a list of things/attractions and their locations. We would pick things to do 1-2 days ahead of time, considering their proximity to each other and the weather (it was a bit rainy at the start of our trip). Another tip is to be wary of peak hour times, especially Tokyo and if you happen to be moving around with your luggage. We made sure not to travel during that time because it can get unbelievably packed. We also exclusively used disabled/stroller carriages (there are signs on the platform for them) when catching the train. This also means always looking for the elevator sign immediately when you hop off too. Some may be harder to find than others and you can't always use the same exit that Google Maps recommends. My kid hated being back carried so we used the [GB Pock It + All-City stroller](https://gb-online.com/en-us/strollers/pockit-all-city) everywhere and loved it (we also use it at home too). It was a bit pricey for us but well worth it. It folds so easily and compactly, so it's also great for the plane too. Once I became really familiar with it, with practice, I could unfold it while walking - it flips out fairly easily. Our kid could also nap in it since he still needs them during the day (it can recline pretty far back to make it comfortable). I would also highly recommend having a [travel bag](https://gb-online.com/en-us/strollers/pockit-all-city/accessories/26) for it (which we brought everywhere with us). It helped at Fushimi Inari Taisha (has a small hike), so we used our carrier for our kid and carried the stroller in the bag (though do consider your own strength and fitness to do so). The bag can also be used if you think you should fold it up for a packed train/bus ride.

Let me find out the name. It’s damn good except the feet supports. But they’re a small issue. GB pockit all city. You can grab backpack straps for it. Make sure to get the all city. The canopy is better.

We only have two— the Mockingbird (basically uppababy's cheaper twin), and a compact travel stroller (gb pockitt+ all-city). The Mockingbird comes with us on neighborhood walks or long days at Disney, the travel stroller goes everywhere else (and I mean everywhere—we've trekked across Europe with it, trips to Target, shorter evenings at Disney, etc.). We're expecting our second in January, and I plan on getting a second compact travel stroller (either a baby zen yoyo or another gb pockitt+) for trips, but using the second seat kit for the Mockingbird for everything else.

As a mom to a 3.5 year old now, the car-seat-stroller stage doesn't last as long as you think it's going to. :') We never got an "umbrella" stroller, but we did get a gb pockitt+ all city, which is our travel stroller and a helluva lot easier to use for quick trips out of the house. The Mockingbird is definitely more comfortable for longer trips (long days at Disney, walks around the neighborhood) but we use the GB for quick shopping trips and travel because it's carry-on sized and super lightweight. I think that's why most people recommend a travel or umbrella stroller, for when it's inconvenient to still carry the large stroller around. Also worth noting, we didn't really start using our travel stroller until little one was starting to be uncomfortable in the carseat for longer periods. She had to be 6 months old to even start using the travel stroller.

We're locals and passholders, and even when we bring our compact gb pockitt+ all-city travel stroller we still leave it in stroller parking areas for rides and don't bother trying to bring it with us. The only time we've collapsed it is when we've gone into a sit-down restaurant for an hour or two and want to bring it with us and stash under the table. Half the joy of having a stroller with you is having a place to keep your stuff and not have to carry it! :) It's super safe to leave your stroller in parking, does not feel chaotic to me.

I just bought a gb all-city and I’m LOVING it. It has a basket that’s easy to get to, adjustable foot rest, can lay flat, big canopy, one handed fold and unfold, hardly takes up any space, and it’s super light. I found it on Facebook for 75

We love the GB pockit + stroller. It's lightweight (I think 13lbs) and fits into the overhead compartment. We even found a travel backpack made specifically for it on Amazon. Very easy to open and close, can lay back, and had the umbrella hood.

Any double stroller is really too big. Besides the size when using it, you also have to have space for it in your room. For two kids I would use two really cheap umbrella strollers. We just have one child, but we are taking her on her first cruise in December. We are taking the Stokke Yoyo. It folds up small enough to fit in an overhead bin and comes with a carrying strap. We also have the GB Pockit+ but it takes two hands to push so I think the Yoyo will be better.

Personal take is don't spend too much on it. And see if you have friends who don't need it or get trusted second hand. There are too many variations for different stages, not worth throwing too much money. I bought a freaking huge stroller first hand at a mother fair. Realise while it is good for going out (can carry a lot of things), loading to a cab is tricky (don't drive). Further down when kid slightly older and when travelling, you will want a compact stroller that the kid can sleep in. That has been my main for the past few years. Got a few Pockit+ from carousell at cheap. If spoil when travel, at least won't heart pain.
