I have the original Pockit and now bought this Pockit+.I put quite a bit of travel on the original and it is still holding strong, but when the little guy (3 years old) naps, it is nice to have the reclining feature.We do quite a bit of traveling (at least once a month on an airplane, and at least once a year out of country)Places we have gone with this stroller and original have been numerous states including Alaska; out of country to Canada, Mexico, Bahamas, Caribbean, Italy, Greece and Israel.Pros:-Reclines.-It held up on cobbled streets in Europe (a bit tricky, but we survived-Extremely packableCons (in comparison with the original):-Doesn't seem to be as sturdy. Somehow this one seems to be a bit more 'wiggly' than the original-Wheel lock does not work as well, you really have to make sure the lock is all the way down. I had some roll away issues. I did not have similar issues with the original-Recliner system. This is about the system itself. There is a strap in the back that you cinch tight to have it in upright mode and un-cinch to give a slight recline. The cinching system is not very tight, so it would slowly slide back. I used a little S biner to keep it cinched tight and then cliped the strap to the side of the stroller. This may not make sense until you see the stroller for yourself. I will try to add pictures.Opinion:-The umbrella cover is nice, but did not really make a difference to me. Actually, when in recline, the side gaps are still significant enough that you would still need to use a light blanket draped over the umbrella to cover your bubs. In the original I would just use a muslin type blanket draped over the square cover and it worked to keep the little one out of the sunlight and also gave some napping privacy. The 'upgraded' cover only works well when in upright position.-It folds about the same, slightly bulkier, but to be expected by the upgradesConclusion:If you really need something that reclines and can pack really small, this MIGHT be worth it for you, but there are other good small strollers out there for a better price and with better features.If the reclining feature is not all that important to you, and you just want the small travel stroller, then the original may be a better option. I used the original for the last 2 years before getting this one and we did just fine.Knowing what I know now, would I have bought it? Possibly... but most likely I would have just stayed with the original...Random tips:Those tactical backpacks fit the stroller perfectly with room to spare for baby essentialsI've also gone the minimal way using removable backpack straps

I had been looking for a light travel stroller that could comfortably seat my 43+ inch, 45+ pound, 3.5 year old son. Most lighter/umbrella strollers, even the ones with the higher weight limits, do not have enough head space or leg space for taller kids. When seated in the Pockit+, my son still has about 1.5 inches between the top of his head and the metal bar/canopy (I did have to tuck the canopy up when it was folded). The seat is not super deep, but it's deep enough where he's not falling out. My son will most likely outgrow this stroller in the next year or so, but hopefully he's more willing to walk longer distances by that time.We tried the seat recline and my son actually looks pretty comfortable! There is no extendable foot rest, but the distance between the seat and the footrest is pretty substantial. My son can rest his feet comfortably on the rubber strip, where as in his Maclaren, his feet drag on the floor or hit the wheels. His head extends well beyond the padded portion of the seat back, but the material above is like a stretchy mesh. His head kind of "sinks" into the mesh and it keeps his head from falling off to the sides (which is open on top when in recline position).I took off 1 star because the harness is completely useless if your kid is more than 38ish-40ish inches tall. My son's shoulders start about 2-3 inches above the highest point of the shoulder harness. There is no way to adjust the straps so that harness can be comfortably used. I strapped the little neck pads over the plastic buckles on the harness straps and just tucked them behind my son's back. The little pads make it a little less uncomfortable to lean his back against, but my son seems to be ok with this. For us, it's not a deal breaker that the harness is useless because my son is old enough to not fall out of his stroller. (Let me rephrase, he's old enough that if he DOES fall/leap out of his stroller, he won't be seriously injured.) I do, however, wish the design allowed for the harness to be moved higher, or to be removed all together once a child's height has exceeded the harness height.But overall, this stroller is pretty cool! The fold wasn't super easy, but it wasn't super difficult either. The stroller is compact and will save a ton of space when you're travelling. I ended up buying a second Pockit+ for my 1.5 year old daughter as well. She's no where near as large as my son, so hopefully we'll still have a few more years to use it with her.
