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 other 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 plus the Qbit for a total of four strollers sold in the US.

Flagship Model: gb Pockit

Gb Pockit Air All Terrain Ultra Compact Travel Stroller

gb's claim to fame (at least at the time of its debut) is the smallest-folding stroller on the market: the gb Pockit Air All-Terrain (10.4 lbs., see price on Amazon). Despite its size, 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 stroller's features are minimal, in order to keep the size and weight low. This is a very basic stroller—very basic canopy, no cup holder, no parent tray, etc.

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, and compatibility with car seats from Cybex. It does not have lockable swivel front wheels. The folded size of the All City is larger than the Pockit Air All-Terrain at 12.6 x 7.9 x 18.9", likely because of the added canopy.

The third version of the Pockit, the gb Pockit+ All-Terrain (12.3 lbs., see price on Amazon), has similar features to the All City but adds in the lockable swivel front wheels. The folded size of this version is in between the Pockit Air All-Terrain and the Pockit+ All City at 13.4 x 7.9 x 16.5".

Qbit Strollers

Gb QBit+ All-City Stroller

gb's other stroller is the Qbit+. The original Qbit was a lightweight (14 lb.) stroller with limited recline, canopy, compact fold (but not as compact as the Pockit) and narrow profile.

The Qbit+ All-City (17.16 lbs., see price on Amazon) replaced the original Qbit and with various upgrades: a deeper seat recline, all-wheel suspension, Cybex infant car seat compatibility, self-standing fold, large canopy, and bumper bar.

Safety Recalls

As of this writing, there are no safety recalls for gb strollers.

Does gb Pockit recline?

The Pockit Air All-Terrain does not have a reclining seat. However,, the Pockit+ All-City and the Pockit+ All-Terrain versions do have partial seat reclines.
