Any mommas out have or have tried the GB LYFE Travel System stroller?

Question

Seems pretty new, can't find too many reviews online but love the look & all the features , curious if anyone has any input on pros and cons of this travel system. First time momma over here.

Answer

Hi! My wife and I have this travel system. I'm a product designer and I did a lot of research on strollers, based on our needs, price, features, and quality. We are still 3 months from our first child, but I have been pretty impressed with the travel system so far.

Here's my 2 cents:
GB is a new brand, but don't let that concern you. GB is owned by Good Baby international, which is the parent company for brands like Uppababy and Cybex. (I don't think they are related to Phil & Ted's, sorry). Either way, they have a lot of experience designing and manufacturing strollers and car seats. In my opinion, the GB line is intended to fill the market need for a quality yet affordable travel system.

The overall design is similar to the Uppababy Vista and Cruz, however, to reduce cost, they used more plastic components and simpler metal components. (Keep in mind the Vista is 3 times the price and doesn't come with a car seat.)

Overall, my opinion of the stroller system is very good, but since we don't have our child yet, I'll have to wait to test it fully.

It does fold easy, the different seat positions and car seat fit/adjust easily. In addition, one feature they didn't publish online anywhere is that the car seat will dock onto the stroller seat. (Meaning, while the toddler seat is in the forward facing position, the car seat will lock into place using the child handlebar and the frame.) I personally think that's a big feature because it raises the height of the car seat, putting your new little one closer to you on those walks.

The only drawbacks I've noticed so far are: when folded, it's still fairly big. (We live on the 4th floor without an elevator) and a lack of accessories like a pram cover.

Hope that's helpful.

I have heard good things about the car seat in particular! The stroller seems nice too. It believe it gb is made by Phil and teds, who make great strollers.

Answer

My daughter has one and I babysit while she's at work. It's amazing!!  Infant seat is heavy but my son-in-law is a fireman and very safety conscious. It's rollover safe! I just put it on the stroller when I'm going somewhere. Love the stroller it rolls so easily. And easy to fold up.

Answer

Pros: sleek, stylish, solid colors, price, rear facing option, bassinet option, lightweight, reasonable price, well padded car seat

Cons: no child tray for snacks & drink, same goes for parents single cup holder no tray storage, materials felt cheap, couldn't close with one hand, bulky when closed, no adjustable handle,  upright stroller seat seems very narrow and short. I could see a larger toddler being very uncomfortable.

Would love to hear more from others. Such a beautiful system
