Parent reviews of the GB Qbit Plus (Qbit+)
A luxuriously-looking buggy with perfect driving characteristics.
- We passed through bad terrain as well as through beach
- It's incredibly compact
- A very small disadvantage - the light blue color on the footrest gets dirty easily
It's fantastic - I would buy it again. We took it on our summer vacation as well as numerous trips, where it tackled stones, forests, meadows...
- Lightweight
- Compact
I am so very happy with my GB Qbit Plus.
Your questions about the GB Qbit Plus (Qbit+)
Does this stroller fit in the overhead compartment on a airplane?
Hey, Perla,
With the folded dimensions of 49 cm x 42 cm x 53 cm, it may fit some airlines' requirements, but not all (especially width-wise). I know moms who did take this on board as a piece of cabin luggage, but you, in any case, need to check with your airline of choice as it is a bit borderline with this stroller and may not fit all airlines.
Hi!
Does it fit in the overhead locker on an airplane?
Hey, Shazia,
With the folded measurements of 49 cm x 42 cm x 53 cm, it is a but higher than your usual cabin luggage. I will, therefore, say no, but this is different from airline to airline, so check with the one you would be traveling to be sure as the requirements vary. Also, with many, it is possible to take (pretty much any foldable) stroller as the baby luggage, often for free, just give it to the stewards when boarding and then get it back when getting off - so definitely check about that option with your airline of choice as well.
Hi,
I just purchased a GB qbit plus stroller but cannot make it stand up? Like it won't fold all the way up so that I can use it? Anything I might be doing wrong?
Hiya, Aylim,
The most probably cause of that would be a broken or otherwise damaged internal wire. YOu will need to service your stroller or claim your warranty, if you can, as that is not something you can repair by yourself.
