The short answer
There is no folded-size difference — both brands publish 32 x 20 x 48 cm, and both publish a 6-month start and a ceiling of about 22 kg. So the decision comes down to three things: the Pockit is 0.6 lb lighter (13.1 lb against 13.7 lb), the Libelle publishes a more complete spec, and the Pockit rides on EVA foam wheels. Buy the Pockit for weight, the Libelle for everything else.
The identical numbers
This is the finding that makes the comparison short. gb publishes the Pockit+ All-City’s folded size as 32 x 20 x 48 cm. Cybex publishes the Libelle 2’s folded size as 12.6 x 7.8 x 18.9 in — which is 32 x 20 x 48 cm. Same box.
Both also publish the same lower bound (6 months) and the same upper bound (about 22 kg). That is not a coincidence so much as a category: these are both cabin-baggage-class strollers built to the same envelope, and the envelope is set by what fits an overhead bin.

| Folded | 32 x 20 x 48 cm (roughly 12.6 x 7.9 x 18.9 in) | 12.6 x 7.8 x 18.9 in (32 x 20 x 48 cm) | 20.5 x 17.3 x 7.1 in |
| Folded depth | 20 cm (about 7.8 in) | 7.8 in | 7.1 in |

0.6 lb, and whether it matters
13.1 lb against 13.7 lb. In isolation that is noise. The reason it is not noise on a trip is that a travel stroller spends a surprising amount of its life carried rather than pushed: up stairs at a metro station, along a jet bridge, across a cobbled square, folded under one arm with a child under the other.
Half a pound at the end of one arm, while the other arm holds a toddler, is more noticeable than half a pound in a suitcase. If that scenario is your trip, take the lighter one. If your stroller mostly gets pushed and occasionally gate-checked, 0.6 lb should not decide a purchase.
The Libelle’s quiet advantage: it is fully published
Cybex publishes a maximum child weight of 22 kg and a suitability range of 6 months to approximately 4 years. gb publishes about 22 kg. Those are effectively the same, but the Libelle’s figure is the one stated as a clean maximum with an age range attached, and on this site a completely published spec counts for something — it is the difference between knowing a limit and inferring one.
The second Libelle-specific claim worth noting is that it is listed as fitting inside a checked suitcase. That is a different travel strategy from carry-on-the-stroller: instead of arguing with a gate agent, the stroller travels inside your luggage and you use a carrier for the airport. For some trips that is strictly better, and it is a claim gb does not make.
Neither one works from birth
Both publish a 6-month start. This is the spec that catches people out, because the strollers are marketed on compactness and nothing in a folded photograph tells you the seat does not recline for a newborn.
If your baby is under six months, your options are an infant car seat on a frame, a carrier, or a stroller configurable from birth — the Stokke YOYO in the picks above, or the options in travel strollers for infants, which ranks on the published lower limit rather than the folded size.
Will either actually go in the bin?
Both brands publish a cabin-baggage claim, and both fold to about 7.8 in of depth, which is the dimension that decides it. United publishes a carry-on maximum of 22 x 14 x 9 in (united.com, read 2026-09-27), and a 12.6 x 7.9 x 18.9 in fold is inside that on every axis.
What no brand can promise is the gate agent. A stroller that measures inside an airline’s published carry-on box is still subject to a person’s judgement about whether a stroller counts as hand luggage at all. Plan for the gate check, be pleased when you get the bin. Our carry-on stroller size guide has the airline-by-airline figures, and gate-checking a stroller covers the fallback.
What we’d skip
Choosing between these two on folded size. The numbers are identical. Any review that tells you one is more compact than the other is comparing different model years or different measurement conventions.
Either one as a newborn stroller. Both publish 6 months. This is a hard limit and the most common mis-purchase in this category.
Choose the gb Pockit+ All-City if
- Weight is the deciding factor - 13.1 lb against 13.7 lb
- Your routes are smooth: airports, modern pavement, malls
- You want a published two-step fold you can do while holding a child
- You like that the frame material is published as aluminium alloy
Choose the Cybex Libelle 2 if
- You want the fully published spec - 22 kg maximum, 6 months to about 4 years
- You would rather pack the stroller inside a checked suitcase than fight for a bin
- Your destination has rough ground and EVA foam wheels worry you
- 0.6 lb is not worth a decision to you
The verdict
These are the same stroller in two colourways of spec sheet, and the honest recommendation is to buy whichever is cheaper on the day unless one of three things applies: you carry it a lot (Pockit), your ground is rough (Libelle), or your child is near 22 kg and you want a clean published maximum (Libelle).
If the Pockit is the way you are leaning, our gb Pockit+ All-City review lays out all four published folded sizes and all three published maximum child weights side by side, which is the clearest argument for the Libelle we know of.
If neither convinces you, the next question is whether you want a slightly larger stroller with better wheels and a birth-to-50 lb range — which is the Joolz Aer vs UPPAbaby MINU comparison, one class up. The whole field is ranked at best travel strollers.

Good at
- About 13.1 lb, the lighter of the two by 0.6 lb
- Folds to 32 x 20 x 48 cm - roughly 12.6 x 7.9 x 18.9 in - which is the thinnest profile in this class
- Two-step fold, and gb states it meets airplane hand-luggage requirements
- Aluminium alloy frame, so the light weight is structural rather than a thinner seat
- Published to about 22 kg, which covers a child to roughly four years
Bad at
EVA foam wheels are small and hard. On cobbles, gravel or a broken pavement they transmit everything to the child and to your wrists, and they are the single clearest reason to pay more for something else. gb also publishes a 6-month start, so this is not a newborn stroller.

Good at
- Folds to the same 32 x 20 x 48 cm, which Cybex also expresses as 12.6 x 7.8 x 18.9 in
- 7.8 in of folded depth, which is what gets a stroller into an overhead bin
- Cybex publishes a maximum child weight of 22 kg and a 6-month to roughly 4-year suitability range - a complete published spec
- Listed as fitting inside a checked suitcase, which is a genuinely different travel strategy
Bad at
13.7 lb against the Pockit's 13.1 lb, in an identical folded envelope - you are carrying 0.6 lb more for the same cubic inches. And like the Pockit it publishes a 6-month start, so a newborn needs a separate infant seat or a carrier.

Stokke YOYO³ (formerly BABYZEN YOYO)
From 13.6 lb depending on configuration, folding to 20.5 x 17.3 x 7.1 in — the thinnest fold here — and configurable from birth, which the published 6-month starts on both the Pockit and the Libelle rule out.

| Carry | shoulder strap; folding faux-leather handlebar |
Specs from Stokke YOYO FAQ — folded dimensions, read 2026-09-27. Manufacturers revise specs without notice — check the listing before you buy.
Good at
- 7.1 in folded depth, thinner than either of the other two
- Configurable from birth, which is the one thing neither rival does
- From 13.6 lb, within a tenth of a pound of the Libelle
- Shoulder strap and a folding handlebar for carrying it through a terminal
Bad at
It is thinner but bigger: 20.5 x 17.3 x 7.1 in is roughly 2,500 cubic inches against about 1,860 for the other two, so it wins a shallow overhead bin and loses a packed car boot. Stokke's FAQ page also publishes no maximum child weight, and 'from 13.6 lb depending on configuration' means the weight depends on what you buy.

Overall 8.8 — a research score against published specs, not a test result. See how we pick.
Questions parents actually ask
Is the gb Pockit smaller folded than the Cybex Libelle?
No. Both brands publish the same folded figure: 32 x 20 x 48 cm, which Cybex also states as 12.6 x 7.8 x 18.9 in. They are the same folded size, which is why weight, wheels and the published child range are what separate them.
Which is lighter, the Pockit or the Libelle?
The Pockit, by 0.6 lb. gb publishes 6.1 kg, about 13.1 lb; Cybex publishes 13.7 lb. In a class where every stroller is between 13 and 14 lb, that is a real but small edge.
Can either one be used from birth?
No. gb publishes a 6-month start for the Pockit+ All-City and Cybex publishes a 6-month start for the Libelle. For a newborn you need an infant car seat on a frame, a carrier, or a stroller configurable from birth such as the Stokke YOYO.
What is the weight limit on each?
gb publishes the Pockit+ All-City to about 22 kg. Cybex publishes a maximum child weight of 22 kg for the Libelle, with a suitability range of 6 months to approximately 4 years. Those are the same ceiling.
Will either fit in an overhead bin?
Both publish a cabin-baggage claim and both fold to 20 cm - about 7.8 in - of depth, which is the dimension that decides it. Neither brand can promise a specific airline will allow it: United publishes a 22 x 14 x 9 in carry-on maximum, and gate agents apply their own judgement. Our carry-on stroller size guide has the airline figures.
So which should I buy?
If weight is the deciding factor, the Pockit at about 13.1 lb. If you want the more completely published spec and the option of packing the stroller inside a suitcase, the Libelle. On folded size there is nothing to choose - the numbers are identical.
