GB Qbit Plus, Capri Blue

Just got this after my baby shower and I must say it really is nice and lightweight and easy to use! I can't wait to use it once baby arrives. The only downside I could say is that the wheels are plastic and not rubber/heavy duty but I feel like that was a decision they made in order to keep the stroller lightweight.

Stand aloneDespite what pictures show, standing upright on its own does not happen without some effort.Seating the child upright.The pull cord that is used to allow the baby to recline is resistant and a bit cumbersome to tighten and loosen. You have to press a button with one hand while pulling with some serious strength with the other to get the back upright. My inflamed thumb on one hand and sore wrist on the other hand made this even more challenging but I had my friend who is injury free try it and she found it resistant as well. Also a velcro strap is used in conjunction to "secure" the back upright. I feel like one tantrum induced slam of the body backwards and the strap would come loose. It just doesn't seem like it will last the test of time...Compact aspectThis is quite fabulous in that it doesn't take up all the space in my trunk as did my humongous Graco stroller.It's so easy to close up and it's light enough that you don't have to worry about throwing a disc out of place when heaving it into the trunk or elsewhere in your car.One of my main concerns though has been will I truly be able to bring this as a carry on? I absolutely do NOT want to check my stroller. And while some say they have been able to carry this on, I don't think most could get away with it. Airplanes are only getting smaller and space is a friggin luxury. So I need the sturdiness (decent wheels) and versatility (extended hood, full recline, decent storage space in bottom compartment) of the Qbit plus but the compactness of the Qbit original and I don't think they have a model that fully reclines and is truly carryon approved. I think I found what I'm needing in another brand and model that also comes with a bag. It's the Ergobaby Metro compact stroller which is unfortunately $100 more than what I paid for this stroller, $199 but may be exactly what I need for my purposes.

I really wanted to absolutely love this stroller. I do really like it, but I also order the Baby Jogger City Tour to compare them side-by-side. I do not have any pictures, but it was a hard choice. The reason why I did not choose this one was because it felt easier to push with my 3 year old or 1 year old. I could push the stroller with one hand, but when pushing the GB Qbit, I had to use a little more muscle. If I could, I would have kept both strollers, the for me, the City Tour was the winner for now. But I would definitely recommend the GB Qbit.I would say the pros are: it is just a simple one-hand fold, still folds compact enough, maneuvers well, has great shade protection, has a really good recline for sleeping toddlers, has an adjustable foot for smaller toddlers, the under basket is okay for being a compact stroller, and the handlebar comes up higher (which is probably better for taller people so that they don't have to hunch over)The cons are: it does not come with a carrying bag like other compact strollers; depending on how heavy your child is, you might not be able to push as easily; no cup holder included; and also, it your toddler is on the taller side, their head might get in the way of the shade or your child may be uncomfortable because of the pillow insert.Everyone is looking for different things in a compact stroller, and I do actually like this one. But it just so happens that for my upcoming trip, another stroller was what I went with. Hope this helps.

zero star!!!Very bad and unusable. Not safe. I lost 300 dollars. I am very angry!!!

The media could not be loaded.  Just bought this a couple of days ago for my wife and daughter. Product seem really good except that after you fold it it doesn't stand up by itself!Now this was one of the biggest advertised feature about this stroller ( besides the compact folding). My wife attempted to call the Manufacturer customer service hotline and actually got into an argument with the CS rep! The CS rep started off by saying that you have to take the wheels off for the stroller to stand by itself.....my wife was livid! The Qbit plus was marketed as a one handed fold, self standing compact stroller! The rep proceeded to put her on hold and then returning from talking to the "engineers" and state that only the euro version stands or that only the Qbit 2016 stands.....my wife just gave up, left her info and hung up. The label/product tag that is attached to the Qbit Plus even states "compact fold and self standing"What may be the issue is that the rubber stoppers they assembled on the QBIT PLUS are too short. as you can see in their stock pics, the rubber stopper/feet are longer that the stoppers on the stroller i bought. i think they put the qbit 2016 stoppers ( which are shorter because the stroller has smaller wheels) instead of the correct qbit PLUS rubber stoppers. Hopefully GB sees this.So I am returning this and attempting to buy from another seller, ill post my findings again after i get it.8/24/2016Bought from another vendor ( their videos convinced me to purchase this model in the first place), tried a different color to see if maybe it was just a QC problem at the factory, but its still the same, rubber nubs too small and the stroller does not stand when folded. Buyer beware if this is feature is necessary for you. All in all a good stroller, but false advertising on that part.
