This post was sponsored by @GBChildUsa as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central. I received the GB Lyfe Pram Travel System to facilitate my review.
Like many moms I know, I’m a sucker for a great stroller. I’ve tried so many different ones in my day and many times they end up falling short of my expectations. But when we got to try out the new GB Lyfe Travel System recently, I was impressed (as usual, when it comes to GB) with what the system had to offer!
First off, the system is much like the GB Evoq Travel System (which completely made me swoon, you can see that post here) where you can change out the infant seat and stroller seat however and whenever you wish. The difference in this system is the seat (which converts to a pram, SO cool) and the front bar that little A adores holding onto. She thinks she’s such a big girl!
Little A was so pumped when her new stroller and car seat arrived, she couldn’t hardly wait for me to open it up and put it together. And I was equally excited, I couldn’t set it up quick enough 🙂 And actually it only took me a few minutes and we were ready to roll – literally!!
To test it out, we took a quick stroll to the park. After swinging for a few minutes, she was pretty sleepy so I reclined the stroller back into the pram setting. All it takes is a little recline, and an un-clip of the foot area and that’s it, it’s straight pram style. She loved being tucked out of the wind with her bottle and blanket. It was nice to be able to have her safe and sound in the deep pram versus a regular stroller seat that’s just wide open. I didn’t have any issues with her blanket falling out, or bottles rolling off the sides which frequently happens in other strollers.
The GB Lyfe system has a larger than normal canopy to cover more of the baby, and a neat little zipper screen to vent in air or to sneak a peek at your little one while you ride. In the photos I have the seat facing forward but it also faces back at you as well if you wish. I switch it according to which direction the wind is blowing usually.
The basket on the bottom is so nice and roomy. I can actually fit my whole diaper bag (or purse) down there without having issues  getting it back out or getting things out of it. There’s also room for other things as well, which is so nice! The day of our walk, we were able to put coats, mittens and hats down there (you know, the classic Minnesota weather where you start the walk bundled up and by the end, you’re in a t-shirt)…
I love the sleek design of the stroller. I had a woman stop me in the store the other day (when I had the car seat in the stroller instead of the toddler seat) and she took one look at the set up and said, “That is the coolest stroller I have ever seen!”
Thanks, I know 🙂 Hehe! I’m a bit biased but I kind of have to agree. It is pretty cool. And I won’t lie, it is amazing to bring anywhere that I need to go. Grocery shopping, grabbing coffee, going for a walk, or tooling around the mall; it adapts to my life instead of me trying to adapt to a travel system. That means a lot, and goes a long way! It’s also super easy to fold up all in one motion, comes with a cup holder (I mean, come on!)
Some other honorable mentions in features include:
- 5-point covered harness
- Dual brake system
- Removable arm bar
- Easy fold-up
- Large basket space with easy all-around access
- Expandable sun screen
I absolutely love being able to pop her infant seat into the travel system, especially when she’s sleeping and I don’t want to wake her up by taking her out of her car seat. Other times it’s just easier to get in and out of a store if she stays in her car seat. That’s when I love this system the most, it makes these times so much easier than they’d be otherwise. Thank goodness for that! I already have my hands full as it is thank you! 🙂
