GB Melio

The GB Melio is new arrival of the Platinum line for 2019/2020 and a 'smaller' brother to the original GB Maris. This urban, compact, designer stroller also offers a possibility of a full-featured stroller system. Despite the reversible seat unit, the Melio is outstandingly lightweight and compact, with not much compromise on the space and functions. The smaller urban wheels are equipped with an individual, soft suspension, which makes the ride over uneven terrain more comfortable. The chassis can be folded using just one hand, even with the seat attached (in any direction).

The Melio can be purchased as a set of up to a 4in1 (parts of a) stroller system, offering four configurations suitable from birth. The improved, conventional carrycot is equipped with a ventilation panorama window and a memory foam mattress. You can also put your newborn baby into a car seat (the Idan from GB, as well as other brands with Maxi-Cosi type of attachment system). Alternatively, the reversible seat is suitable for the youngest babies too. There are two options - you can either use the seat as it is or with the Lite Cot soft insert carrycot (cocoon). Like the Melio's brother - the Cybex Mios, on which's design the Melio is based on, it gives you several comfortable options, depending on your needs.

The seat unit can be reclined flat. Thanks to the mesh backrest and leg rest, the Melio is ready for hot days' strolls. You will also get a matching seat liner, so you can cover the backrest when it's colder while making the seat softer and comfier. The smooth, round lines of this stroller are complemented with elegant, contrasting details with distinctive leatherette. The Melio is also available in various fashion editions.
