We've had our daughter in Orbit since Day 1. It has been a great product overall.

The infant system is fantastic and a very thoughtful product and we instantly fell in love with it. The stroller took a little longer to win our heart.

Pros:
- Just like the infant system, the stroller seat is very well built, a super solid product.
- It's big and roomy so the kid can grow with it. A previous review said the seat was not deep enough that's simply not true. Unless your kid is well over the growth percentile you have nothing to worry about. Do keep them buckled up at all time though because it IS roomy.
- It's great for everyday stroll. It maneuvers quite well on gravel paths and grass too.
- It's got this big space between the rare frame and the back of the stroller seat. We put a large IKEA bag there and it's excellent for grocery shopping. Over the past year, we've been putting 25+lb grocery on the stroller while the girl's sitting in it, no... Read more

We have used the Orbit since day one with our toddler who is now almost 2 years old and it has served us so well! Our child is pretty small for age, so we were able to stick with the infant system for a long time, but we recently switched to the toddler seat which we have loved... prompting us to lay down this review now.

At the beginning, we certainly spent a good amount of time looking at the various infant stroller options, trying them out at the store, and talking with friends who had used different systems (Bugaboo, Graco, PegPerego, Quinny, Phil and Ted's, etc). Eventually, we decided on the Orbit and it really exceeded all our expectations.

We chose it largely for the convenience of the integrated car seat/stroller seat function of the infant system and it certainly lived up to billing in this regard. It is soooo easy to pop the seat back and forth from the car base to the stroller base. This saved us countless times from waking up our napping baby... Read more

I bought the Orbit infant system and have been absolutely THRILLED with it. But when my son got too big for the infant car seat (at about the 8 month mark, he was 20 pounds but 30 inches, so he exceeded the height requirement) I started looking around, and to be honest, I wasn't as awed by the toddler stroller seat at first. I felt like it just wasn't as aerodynamic, cool or as functional as the infant car seat. But I was very very wrong.

I have to say that this stroller seat is overall well designed but does have a few flaws that I would change. Here is a list of it's pros and cons.

CONS:
1) The foot rest could have been better designed. Other strollers I've looked at had an adjustable foot rest to extend when baby is sleeping in reclined position. This one does not. Feet dangle, but it hasn't bothered my 8 month old yet, though I imagine he might mind it when he's bigger and his feet are longer. Not THAT big of a deal, but something to consider... Read more
