Pockit+ All-City

This stroller was perfect for our recent two-week trip to Europe! It folds up incredibly compact—perfect for tight spaces and easy to carry or even fit into a backpack. We didn’t even have to gate check it, which meant no risk of damage—it fit easily in the overhead bins on every flight. It handled long walks around the cities with no problem and was a huge help when my 4- and 5-year-olds needed a rest. I love that it holds up to 55 lbs, which gave us extra flexibility. It’s also super easy to open and close. I honestly wish I had found this stroller sooner—total game-changer for travel!

This stroller is amazing. It is super lightweight and compact! We travel with it every month when we fly. It is extremely durable and has held up to over 50 miles of walking. My daughter LOVES this stroller. Even though she was technically too young to sit in it at 3 months old, we reclined it all the way back and started walking with her. She hated her car seat and the larger stroller we bought her, but she has always been happy in this stroller. It does not recline completely flat, but has a good range of angles for the back.The sun shade is so so. It really only provides cover then the sun is directly overhead. But it is still a great feature to have on a small collapsible stroller. The little basket at the bottom is great for carrying small packages. I even fit a gallon of water down there. Overall Well designed!

We recently bought the Pockit stroller specifically for travelling by small plane (Cessna 172s, and the like,) and it performed perfectly on our recent trip around the Northeast.First the minor cons (though it's really tough to even call them cons):-- Just like everybody else has said, you're going to kick the wheels while you're walking if you hold both handles and walk behind it. We usually just held one hand on the cross bar between them and walked a little off to the side. It's so small and maneuverable that one-handed operation was never a problem, even on uneven surfaces.-- The wheels are small. We're used to our BOB jogging stroller, so it was a bit of an adjustment hopping over curbs and whatnot, but really if you're used to a 'normal' stroller, this won't be an issue.-- The sun shade. It's small. Really small. I'm probably going to eliminate it and use the rotating brackets that it mounts to for some fold-out handles to be able to walk behind the stroller like normal. There's really no way they could make the sunshade larger though, with the folding design of the stroller. Bravo to GB for doing what they could with the space they had.-- It's a little flimsy. It folds up small enough to fit in desk drawer. What do you expect?! This thing has like 19 joints in it that allow it to fold up so small, so naturally, it's going to have some play when it's in use. I never once felt like it wasn't sturdy, or wouldn't support the weight of my daughter and the few things we put in the shelf area.The pros:-- Incredibly compact! I took a picture of it sitting inside the baggage door of a Cessna 172. Those doors are TINY, and really worthless for any sort of baggage...but the Pockit fit right through with room to spare.-- Lightweight. As mentioned, we're used to a BOB jogging stroller that weighs somewhere around 25-27 lbs. The 9.5 lbs of the Pockit was a wonderful change.Overall, this met 100% of our need for a travel stroller. I wouldn't recommend it for somebody as their only stroller, as I'd be a little leery of wear and tear using this on a daily basis. For travelling, or any other time you need a REALLY compact, lightweight stroller, this fits the bill. We'll probably use it a couple of times a month, even when we're not travelling. But guaranteed, this will be the only stroller we ever travel with again! If you're into General Aviation, you NEED this stroller. Between this and the lightweight, compact carseat we bought, we gained back about 35lbs of useful load, and TONS of space in the cramped 172.

This stroller really is easy to fold, light weight, and probably could be your carryon item if you don’t want to gate check. However, I wish I’d bought another Mountain Buggy. Here is why:#1 - the reason I bought a mountain buggy the first time was because it can hold any infant carrier you own. It has a seatbelt strap that is simple and can go across any infant carrier. I’m pretty sure with Pockit you have to get an attachment, and it only holds certain carriers.#2 - quick fold/unfold. The Pockit wins this category. You simply push in the buttons on the handle and push down to close, or pull up to open. The Mountain buggy takes about 1 second longer cause you push and then squeeze.#3 - The handles. I don’t like that Pockit has 2 handles. They’re not very comfortable and you can’t utilize them well. Mountain Buggy has 1 cross piece which makes it so much more comfortable. You can steer the mountain buggy 1 handed easily, and hang any cup holders or bags you want to.#4 - Harness Straps. They’re very similar in both the Pockit and Mountain Buggy. What I don’t understand is why no matter what I do, I can’t get the straps just right for my 3 year old in the Pockit. They’re also very thin and not secure.#5 - Durability - I’ve had the Mountain Buggy for 3 years, and I’ve only used the Pockit for about 4 months. They both have held up well to this point, but for some reason the Pockit always feels like it’s going to just fall apart while I’m pushing it around. Maybe it’s one of those things you have to use in order to understand, but it seriously just feels like it’s going to completely collapse under my kid one of these days.#6 - Under seat storage. The mountain buggy has a little more under storage room. We can fit the diaper bag under the mountain buggy, but it doesn’t quite fit under the Pockit. We can also hang our diaper bag on the MB handle, but cannot do so on the Pockit.#6 - Travel. I debated between these 2 strollers because I would be doing a lot of travel while my kids were little. Like I said before I picked the Mountain Buggy the first time simply because it could take any infant carrier. I went with the Pockit this time because it could fold up small for air travel. Here’s the thing, unless I was planning to put the Pockit into my carryon bag, I’m honestly going to gate check it. In order for my kids to keep up in the airport, they need to be in the stroller, so it’s getting gate checked most likely. And the Pockit only folds up slightly smaller than the Mountain Buggy. And I’ve flown with the MB twice and ended up just gate checking it both times cause it was easier than trying to put it with our carryons. (And the MB comes with a cover so you don’t have to buy one separately like Pockit).Overall Pockit+ is a good stroller. Had I never bought a Mountain Buggy, I would probably rave about how great it is. But I do have a Mountain Buggy, and so I do compare them every time we go out. And I would suggest getting a mountain buggy over a Pockit.
