LOVE my Orbit Baby Travel System!!!
3 of 3 people found this review helpful.
Before my daughter was born, I did a ton of research on stroller/ travel systems. I had a lousy travel system with my son- an Eddie Bauer- and we ended up trashing it after 4 months or so and moving him up to a convertible carseat (Britax Decathlon). After much deliberation and reading tons of reviews, I opted to purchase the Orbit Baby system. It is VERY expensive, so this decision was not entered into without much thought! I have to say that it is money well spent! My criteria in a travel system is: 1. Safety, 2. Ease of Use, 3. Durability, 4. Style. This system exceeds all 4 of my standards. I'll address each one individually:
1. Safety- The base is heavy and sturdy, as is the infant seat. While some people consider this cumbersome, I consider it "Safe"! The base is simple to install and it's not hard to get it to where it doesn't move (very much unlike my old Eddie Bauer system).
2. Ease of Use-- wow- they've thought of everything! The base is so easy to install, the stroller is SUPER easy (and light!) to open and close back up (literally one-handed close!). With two children in tow under 3, ease of use was very important to me! And the stroller folds up fairly compactly, but it does still take up quite a bit of room in the back of my Highlander.
3. Durability- this system is extremely sturdy and well made!
4. Style- you wouldn't believe how many people stop me and ask about my system because they think it looks so "cool"!
Overall- absolutely love this system! My only complaints (and they don't really count because the benefits FAR outweigh the complaints) is that there's not a good place to put shopping bags if you are shopping. And- I don't know yet what to think about the toddler car seat. I'm debating whether or not to get it or another car seat. My baby girl is now 6 months old and doesn't have much longer to fit in the infant seat. So I'll have to make that decision soon. I DID buy the toddler stroller seat a while back and it works fine- I wanted to have it to use with my toddler son as well. So this system IS expensive if you are only going to use it for the infant stages. Other than that- hands down the BEST system out there!
