GB Qbit
The GB Qbit is an original stroller with an ultra-compact fold. It belongs to the GB Gold series. This hybrid stroller is so compact that it meets the criteria for a carry-on luggage. The stroller can be maneuvred and folded with just one hand. The weight of the Qbit is lower than the weight of the higher Qbit Plus due to the smaller urban wheels and a limited, partial recline. It is ideal for the role of a secondary stroller when traveling, shopping or to have in the car. With the purchase of an optional car seat, you can create a 2in1 travel system suitable from birth.

Your questions about the GB Qbit
Hello, do you know of a travel bag that will fit the GB Qbit stroller?
Hey there, Bree,
I would most probably go for the Cybex Eezy S-Twist travel bag, it should definitely fit.
A good idea is also going on Amazon, putting 'Stroller Travel Bag for Airplane' in the search, and find any universal one, pretty much (usually, you can cross check dimensions with your folded dimensions of the stroller.
And, lastly, I know that many mums are actually using IKEA's DIMPA bag for traveling (really!). It is a nic size and quite durable, so a stroller also works in there.
