GB Pockit+ Plus 2019 Stroller Review

I was blown away by the GB’s new compact stroller called ‘Pockit’ which is the Guinness World Records smallest stroller! It folds into a tiny package that you can put in your purse.

I thought it couldn’t get any cooler than that, but this year GB came up with a new Pockit+ Plus 2019 model that doesn’t only have a compact fold but also can turn into a travel system. Wow!

The folded dimensions have slightly increased and now are 12.6″ x 7.9″ x 15″. The weight also has increased and is now 13 lbs instead of 9 lbs. Still a very light and very compact model! You should have no problem taking it on board any airline since it’s way below the maximum size for the carry-on.

The Plus model can be paired with GB or Cybex infant car seat (adapters required; sold separately). They’ve also added a small strap recline to the seat, but you still have to use it from 6 months.

✓ Travel System Option	X No Suspension

OVERALL

I gave this stroller 5 out of 5 stars because, for the most compact stroller in the world, it has some great features. Just like the original model Pockit+ Plus features a good-sized basket, adjustable 5-point harness, roomy seat, and one-step brake.

It rolls on small 4.5″ wheels that are designed for flat surfaces only. Taking it to the park or city streets with uneven sidewalks will be a bumpy ride since there is no suspension.

This model is perfect for parents who travel a lot and run errands so the stroller will be used mostly inside of the airport, mall, or store. It will be ok in a park with an even surface like a theme park for example. I think Mountain Buggy Nano, Babyzen Yoyo+ Plus, and GB Qbit+ Plus have even more serious competition now.

Note: There have been no changes for 2019.

For 2018 they’ve improved the canopy which can provide some shade now. It’s still small, but much better than before. The basket is still a decent size which is definitely a plus.

PRICE

This model comes in two colors and retails for around $229. I think the price is very reasonable for such a compact stroller.

Detailed Review of GB Pockit+ Plus 2019 Stroller

Here is my detailed review of all the features with photos and overview video.

CANOPY

The Pockit+ Plus has a much better canopy than the previous model where it was barely there. Still, it does not provide much sun protection. It doesn’t have a viewing window or a sunvisor.

HANDLEBAR

It has interesting handlebars that are looking more outward and forward than usual. They are covered with nice soft foam. As you probably have guessed they are not adjustable. They are located 39″ from the ground which is an average height for non-adjustable handlebars.

SEAT

The seat is very roomy and since the canopy is almost non-existent, you can fit in a very tall child. The seat is 11.5″ wide with a 21″ seat back and a measurement of 25″ from the back of the seat to the top of the canopy. The seat has a small strap recline and a zipper at the top to recline the seat even more. It can accommodate a child from 6 months and up to 55 lbs.

 

HARNESS

There is an adjustable padded 5-point harness with a center release buckle in the middle and a crotch padding.

BASKET

Compared to full-size strollers the basket is small but for such a compact stroller it’s not bad at all. You can probably fit your medium size diaper bag. It’s also easily accessible from the back and can hold up to 11 lbs!

WHEELS

It rolls on 4.5″ EVA wheels with swivel front wheels that can be locked straight. These wheels are designed for flat surfaces only and not going to handle any other terrain.

BRAKE

There is a one-step brake located on the right rear wheel that will lock both of the rear wheels in place. It’s not flip-flop-friendly.

FOLD

The fold is super compact. You can almost put it in your pocket! It will definitely fit into my large diaper bag. This is great news for traveling parents who want to take their stroller on board ANY airline.

Just like the Pockit, the Plus model is way below the maximum size for the carry-on. It has folded dimensions of 12.6″ x 7.9″ x 15″. Weighing only 13 lbs, it’s very easy to carry over the shoulder when not needed.

There is no automatic lock, but there is a manual one. There is also standing fold which is probably not going to be used much since it’s just easier to hold it in your hands than bending down to the ground.

Here is the most compact fold.

It can be also folded with the car seat adapters attached.

TRAVEL SYSTEM

You can turn the Plus model into a travel system! I did not see this coming. It’s surprising that such a small stroller can accept a car seat. Plus model is compatible with GB or Cybex infant car seats (adapters required; sold separately). BTW, Cybex infant car seats are one of the best and safest on the market.
