GB Alara
GB Alara is a lightweight stroller destined for the western market, available also as a stroller system - combined with the GB Asana35 LTE car seat. Thanks to its low weight and the compact, one-handed fold, the GB Alara will easily fit into the boot of any car and is suitable for traveling. The Gb Alara compatible car seat can be simply added on top of the seat part. Although the backrest and the leg rest of the seat unit are adjustable, the seat cannot be fully reclined, so the stroller won’t accommodate the smallest babies, apart from when the car seat is added. Another advantage of the GB Alara is an easily accessible shopping basket and the expandable, well-ventilated hood.

Parent reviews of the GB Alara
I’m using Alara mode from GB and we are very happy with it. Unfortunately, I need to buy some accessories for this model but I can’t find anything anywhere (sun shade, umbrella or something else...).
A nice-looking, compact travel system for those on a budget. We have it as our second, for-the-car-and-travels system.
I like how simple and easy everything is. You won't get luxury features, but you can get it very cheaply if you look for some sales. And for that money, it ticks all the necessary boxes.
- nice design
- price is ok
- not much in terms of quality
We had it less than one full year, and it broke. One of the wheels somehow stopped turning. It looked like a nice price-performance ratio, but I guess one should pay more for something of quality.
