G-Mini Grand

DISCONTINUED in 2020
see 30 parent reviews

The G-Mini Grand is a versatile 2in1 stroller at an affordable price. You can convert the seat into a carrycot (and vice versa) by simply unfastening the buckles. It is also specific because of the hybrid adjustment system. You can tilt it, which is typical for a bucket seat, but it can also be adjusted with the strap mechanism on the backrest. The leg rest can also be adjusted individually. The seat version is smaller, suitable for younger children. With the optional car seat, you can create a 3in1 stroller system.

The smaller front wheels are designed for less demanding city surfaces. They are complemented by the rear wheels with air-filled tires for a smoother ride. The rear axle is quite wide, so it is possible to not get through narrow doors with the stroller.

The Grand can be customized with color sets consisting of a hood and a seat liner. A limited Picasso patterned set was also available. The stroller was also released in the special Grand Lux edition with premium textiles and a gold or a titanium chassis.

Mixed feelings

3
  • 2in1 solution - turns the bassinet into a seat uniz
  • the rear inflatable wheels are nice
  • the metallic frame was beautiful and didn't get dirty (but I was very careful with it)
  • low price for a big bassinet and at the same time a seat with a bumper bar and an apron
  • faces in both directions
  • car seat adapters also very cheap
  • "quality" from China - the canopy and anything that was in the sun faded right after the summer (denim colour)
  • the front plastic wheels were rusting and rattling - the rear wheels were as good as new (but wide apart, so I manoeuvred them with a bit of hardship in the lift or in the shop)
  • very low handle which cannot be adjusted
  • overall the bassinet is big, but then it is an average seat (maximum up to two years, certainly not up to three as the manufacturer states)

Mixed feelings. Low price, good 2in1 solution, but I was disappointed that the Czech design is all made in China and looks poor quality.

  • Terrain
  • Compactness
  • Appearance
  • Price
  • Awesome
  • Weak side walls - I do not know how this would be for children born in winter
  • The seat is definitely not for 2-3 year olds, I mean for ours - she'd be a sardine in there

We were extremely satisfied with the stroller. A nice decent stroller for a few bucks, nothing overpriced.

Better use when travelling

3
  • Quickly foldable
  • Lightweight frame
  • Handy
  • Small
  • Seat is small
  • Rear wheels wide - it was a problem to fit in some doors or elevator
  • The bassinet (2in1) unsuitable for a newborn
  • Handle cannot be adjusted - quite a problem for taller people
  • I was kicking the brake when walking (stroller) (a real problem for me)

Smart stroller, 2in1 use is great in my opinion. But not for everyday use and not at all for a newborn. Rather better use when travelling.

We were very happy with it. We used it both as a bassinet/pram, and as a seat/pushchair. The stroller is smaller, space-wise, my son grew out of it fast. But we were already knowing that when we bought it.

The bassinet felt hard. Seat part is great though - just for sitting, I recommend this stroller. The plus is that it has suspension.

We bought it for the second child - the G-Mini Grand 2in1, melage grey-brown colour, chassis is black. The chassis has two levels of suspension. Rear wheels are inflatable. The canopy is waterproof. It is necessary to buy accessories separately - adapters for car seat, rain cover, mosquito net. In winter it was not cold in it - as the pram is fabric for the most part, someone may think so. If they would start to make it with inflatable front wheels, it would get 10 points from us.

The advantage I see is that when the baby doesn't want to lie down anymore, the back can be raised, half pulled, and it can be converted into a seat unit, so you don't have to store a bulky bassinet at home. And from my own experience, you can't estimate how long the child will want to ride in a stroller - for example, my son has only been running by himself since he was 1.5 years old, so the stroller after him, a triple combination, stayed at home until we sold it. This one is both a pram and a pushchair, two in one, light, compact enough...

I am very happy about the easy manipulation. The low price is great, and the quality is also nice. I love that the pram part can be redone into a seat unit. We bought also a car seat adapter, and there's even suspension, which is a plus.

  • Compact
  • Pretty - modern
  • Light
  • Cheap
  • Not suitable for terrain use - small front wheels

I was satisfied with the stroller. It's very nice and modern to look at, and it's also nice and lightweight and compact. It fit perfectly in a smaller suitcase or a small lift. We only used the carrycot until about six months old, so it fit perfectly fine over the winter with a footmuff. Then we switched to a different stroller.

The only minus I can see is that the stroller has tiny foam wheels in the front 🙂 which are very hard to ride on terrain - so it's more suitable for the city. But otherwise I would recommend it to everyone - I was very satisfied. For the money it is amazing.

Nice, just seems thin for winter

A nice stroller, just seems thin for winter.

  • price
  • suspension
  • design
  • reverses to face both directions
  • wide rear wheel span
  • folding into the pushchair version
  • not suitable for a winter baby

What bothered me about this stroller was folding into the pushchair version. Whenever my son fell asleep, I wanted him to be as comfortable as possible - so I had to loosen all the straps and clips to get the surface horizontal. And when he woke up, I had to put everything back in the sitting position - for me a useless "waste of time". I praise the design, the reversing in both directions and first of all the price.

Unfortunately, the stroller also had a minus - unnecessarily wide rear wheel span (it was a problem to go through some doors). I also don't think it's a stroller suitable for a winter baby. The bassinet is all fabric and the apron cover for the bassinet is placed far away from the roof, in my opinion, which means it easily blows in on the baby.

I would recommend for summer babies to use "just" the bassinet part - and get something better for winter and larger babies :) :) :)
