Gb

gb (Goodbaby) is the largest manufacturer of baby strollers in the world.

Although the brand is relatively new to North America, the company traces its history back to 1989. They spent decades making strollers for others gear companies: Dorel (Cosco, Safety 1st, Maxi Cosi), Evenflo and Cybex. By 1999, Goodbaby had become the largest manufacturer of strollers sold in the US.

By 2009, Goodbaby became the world's largest maker of strollers with an estimated one-third market share (that is, one out of every three strollers sold worldwide was made by Goodbaby).

In 2014, Goodbaby purchased Cybex and Evenflo. The company has also sold strollers under various names at different retailers, namely Urbini at Walmart in the mid 2010's (the debut was 2014).

Also in 2014, Goodbaby had its first hit stroller under the gb brand—the gb Pockit, which was among the first ultra-compact travel stroller.

As a public company in China, Goodbaby reports its sales. In its most recent fiscal year (2022), Goodbaby reported overall sales of $1.06 billion (USD). Among their divisions, Cybex sales were $420.4 million in 2022, while Evenflo racked up $294.9 million. gb makes up the balance, although this brand is mostly focused on China.

As of this writing, Goodbaby sells strollers in the US under three brands: Cybex, Evenflo and gb. This page focuses on gb.

gb's stroller line (sold in the US) is fairly small, including only two model names: the Pockit and the Qbit. There are three versions of the Pockit and two versions of the Qbit for a total of five strollers.

Flagship Model: gb Pockit

gb's claim to fame is (at least at the time of its debut) the smallest folded stroller on the market: the gb Pockit Air All-Terrain (10.4 lbs., see price on Amazon). For such a lightweight stroller, the Pockit still has a carry capacity of 55 lbs. Other key features include:

• Breathable mesh fabric.
• Four lockable, swivel front wheels.
• Sun visor.
• Standing fold.
• Folded dimensions: 11.8 x 7.1 x 13.8". This is the size of a briefcase!
• Storage basket

Because the Pockit does not have a reclining seat back, this stroller is best for babies over 6 months who can hold their heads up. Another con: the features are minimal in order to keep the size and weight low. This is a very basic stroller.

Accessories like a carry bag and seat liner are available at an additional charge.

The gb Pockit+ All City (13.2, see price on Amazon) is a slightly fancier version of the Pockit with a reclining seat, extra large sun canopy, front wheel suspension, compatibility with car seats from Cybex.
