Smoother than butter
Date - May 19, 2008
"And butter is smooth, they say.
We asked folks to send us gift cards at our shower so we could afford this, and the saving up was well worth it! This is the most durable and comfy ride we could possibly give our baby! I feel like we picked the right thing to splurge on. Our first tepid, nervous trips out with the baby were so comfortable! The car seat is so easy to install, and it's a big part of what you're getting here.
And this is no small feat- I am a 6'5" daddy, and getting a stroller I could push without awkwardly hunching over seemed impossible. I am happy to report that this is fun and easy to push, for either me or my more average height-ed wife!"

Worth every penny
Date - November 29, 2009
"This is the best baby product we purchased for our son. It's practical, durable and stylish. We've pushed the stroller hundreds of miles since it's the only place our son would sleep for the first few months, and the car seat base transfers easily from Dad's car to Mom's to Grandma's!
The convenience, comfort and safety of the Orbit is worth every penny. We're getting ready to upgrade to the toddler seats soon. My they grow up quickly!"

Worth the money
Date - October 28, 2009
"This is an excellent investment - worth every penny. We scrimped on other things (clothing, nursery decor, etc) to buy this and we are glad we did.
Pros:
- So easy to maneuver. We can take this stroller anywhere. It turns on a dime, can handle all kinds of terrain, and is light.
- The telescoping handles are great since different people use the stroller and everybody can adjust the handles to their comfort level.
- The car bases are super easy to install, so they can easily be taken in and out (unlike many other car seats).
- The built-in cover (paparazzi shield) has come in handier than we ever thought it would. Especially with the flu scare going on, we just cover the baby whenever we are out in public so that people can't get their germy hands all over her. Also great for inclimate weather. And also works great to keep her quiet - when she tires of scensory overload, we just put the cover down and she rests peacefully.
- We get tons of compliments on the Orbit system.

Cons:
- The seat is a little heavy, but not a big deal unless you are rather weak.
- The seat is long, so if you have a smaller car you should test to make sure it fits."

"Once you see, touch and physically use an orbit, it's hard to use anything else. The materials used to construct this stroller are so durable and sturdy ... it's a great investment for your priceless gift from above! Check it out ... there's a demo online."

Stroller Love...
Date - October 20, 2009
"When my first son was born, this system had just come out on them market, and the toddler pices weren't yet available, so we couldn't justify the expense. Now for our second, we splurged, and are SO HAPPY that we did! My oldest is now in the toddler car seat, and my infant is in the infant carrier. We recently went on a cross-country flight, and brought the toddler car seat and chassis with us through the airport. It was so great to be able to put whichever child needed to be pushed in the car seat, hang bags on the stroller, and carry our coffee to boot! The chassis is so durable that we weren't worried about leaving it at gate check. We checked-in the infant seat and car seat base. So, when we got to our destination, we had the complete system! With this second child, I've also eliminated the need for a diaper bag. The Orbit cargo pod is always packed and ready to go. For another $80, you can buy a spare to keep it fully stocked in the car/home... still cheaper than a high-end diaper bag!"

Smooth riding and easy in/out
Date - July 9, 2009
"I did my homework and this is the best stroller system out there. I had been debating the bugaboo (which now costs MORE) but it doesn't even have a car seat and is IMPOSSIBLE to fold quickly unlike the Orbit which folds down with one hand. I love this stroller as the base is super easy to install into the car and VERY safe. My 3 month old is very comfy in the seat and I love the shade that I can pull down in rain or bright sun. It is also VERY easy to manuver in any situation and I also got the paniers to attach to the side for extra storage. We get LOTS of compliments and oohs and ahhs. The diaper bag is great if you plan to use it with the stroller though it is awkward to sling over your shoulder and carry on its own. BUt it is very big and holds much more that I thought."

Best Stroller
Date - April 13, 2009
"We love this stroller system! The car seat is easy to take in and out and clips onto the stroller like magic! The bag underneath holds a lot so no problem there. Steering is easy for my husband and I. the best and only stroller you will need. The price is a bit expensive but my sister used it before me and then handed it down when her kids were down with it."

"We absolutely LOVE this stroller, car seat, base combination. We get so many compliments on it. It's so easy to use - truly 1 hand operation. Light but very durable. Love that we just have to get the toddler car seat when she gets a little older, but the car seat base and stroller remain the same. Highly recommend. You will not be sorry! Well worth the cost."

Best Stroller Ever
Date - February 24, 2009
"I honestly don't know why people buy the Bugaboo. They must not have done their research and just succumb to the hype. The Orbit is the most amazing stroller and I tested them all. It is by far the easiest stroller to fold... the fact that it's a car seat too is beyond convenient. I use the sunshade and swivel feature more than I even thought I would. It doesn't have a storage area underneath like the uppababy, but that is the only thing that I didn't love about it. Then after using the stroller for a while. I realized that I don't really need it anyway... the bag suits me perfectly andI can hang things from the handles if need be. All in all... a home run!!"

Best stroller to buy!
Date - February 18, 2009
"This stroller has been a head turner everywhere we go! The money you spend on this is so worth it! The cirlce base is so easy to use. The bag is so cute we just use it as a diaper bag now! I love the features it has. The only thing I don't like about it is that it's kinda heavy and a little bulky but when you realize how convient it is and easy you'll love it."

Orbit your world
Date - December 2, 2008
"We absolutely LOVE our Orbit! The Orbit system is a one of a kind and well worth the extra money. The Orbit has proven its quality and conveience. We were sold on the "Orbit"/swivel factor of the car seat and stroller as well as the one-handed break down and set up of the stroller base. And we have not been disappointed! The ease of the stroller is particularly nice when traveling without daddy and that extra set of hands and muscle! We have absolutely no complaints. Okay, maybe the price, but honestly, it's worth it! If you can splurge on only one thing for baby and self, make it the Orbit. It won't disappoint!"

Cool stroller...
Date - October 24, 2008
"Many places that we go, especially the zoo or a museum, we always hear "what a great stroller" and all we can really say is thanks. The swivel is great is you have a higher SUV like we do- No strain on the back. The swivel action is very convenient when it is sunny and we are out walking. The one item I am not to happy with is the stroller bag. I wish it had two compartments instead of one large one. And I do not use it as a regular diaper bag since it is uncomfortable and kind of cumbersome to use with the oval shape. Other then that, it is a great system."

"We tried out tons of strollers and read lots of reviews before registering for the Orbit. We love it! We were lucky enough to have the grandparents buy this for us, so cost wasn't an issue. But we have a small car (Honda Fit) and the stroller breaks down easily in the trunk, and with one hand. Love how all the pieces (bassinet and car seat) can fit on the base. Our baby likes it too."

I Love this stroller!
Date - October 15, 2008
"The thing I like the most about my Orbit is that it swivels in the car and on the stroller base and everything about it is so easy to use. My only regret is that I did not purchase the basinett because my little guy doesn't like to sit in the carseat if we go into a restaurant or for a walk. People always stop us for a demo. Very cool!"

Nice but has few flaws
Date - October 14, 2008
"I like the stroller a lot. The ability to spin the seat around 360 degrees is the best feature. Also it is very easy to navigate. The minuses are the size of the car seat that it comes with. My daughter is 6 months old and she is pretty average for her age (50 percentile) and I already have to buy a bigger car seat b/c when I put a jacket on her she is very cramped in the seat. I also bought a cradle and now a toddler seat b/c I think the car seat is not really comfortable for long walks. This means this is $1,800 and not $900. Overall I like it and I get a lot of compliments and I have to say it is convenient for the city life especially if you have to get on the bus, cab, etc. However it looks like the Bugaboo may be more comfortable for the baby. May be I am wrong but that has been my perception from observing owners of the Bugaboo."

Best Folding Stroller
Date - May 13, 2008
"We purchased this stroller last year and couldn't be happier with it. We have travelled to Europe with it and did several flights domestically, it is great. It is the ONLY stroller that truley is 1-hand-fold. Others claim this but when you actually try you end up using 2 hands, not this one. I have picked up by baby in the car seat and then folded the stroller with the other hand to get down stairs, into a taxi, etc. People always stop and then say "wow, that was easy". I would recommend this stroller to anyone."
