Summary: Too much hype 2009-01-02
Comment: I spent a lot of time researching on stroller system and decided to purchase Orbitbaby system.
After five months of using it and enjoyed its convenience, I found a very critical safety issue with the infant seat. The openings on the side of the seat where the green handles are used to unlock the seat for rotation / removal pose a safety hazard.
When we were in the car driving, the baby somehow managed to stick her palm and fingers in the openings and her hand got jammed in there. When unlocked the handle and released them, her fingers would be at the bottom and be caught from the release of the handle. She would scream her head off.
At other times, when lifting my baby out of the Orbit infant seat, she would also stick her palm + fingers in there and would scream her head off.
My baby's left hand is bruised up after the incident and I was so upset that the engineers did not think about safety first, but also upset that I did not check where her hands are before moving the handles.
There are too many things to worry about as a new parent, safety of the seat should be the last worry on anyone's mind, especially for +$1000 system.

Summary: Great car seat stroller system, but heavy. 2008-11-14
Comment: My wife and I love this stroller and people are amazed at how easy it is to take the car seat off and on. Car base is very sturdy, love the included sunshade, and the stroller handles very well.
However, if you have a bigger baby it will probably only last until they are 6 months (22lb capacity). The car seat is also VERY HEAVY. It is around 10lbs, so is one of the heavier car seats on the market. I have gotten a sore back a couple of times when we were moving her in and out of the car throughout the day.
Overall, a great stroller that would be perfect if the carseat was a couple pounds lighter.

Summary: Cool, convenient, but frustrating when you think about it 2008-10-22
Comment: We definitely loved the infant system at first. The one hand folding feature is great. It looks great. We're confident that our son is as safe as possible. But the downside revealed itself pretty quickly. First of all, one of the plastic snaps that holds down the sunshade busted within the first week. The infant seat hardly fits in our '99 Subaru Forester. Fortunately, we're not very tall people, but our legs still feel pretty cramped up front. It's heavy. I can handle the weight, but it quickly became too heavy for my wife. The frustration now is that we're just about ready to go to the next level of seating. Didn't realize until now that there is no longer the convenience of one multi-use seat - there is a separate stroller seat and car seat. The stroller seat cannot be used as a car seat. And apparently, the car seat COULD be used as a stroller seat, but they don't recommend it because now its really heavy and really inconvenient to get in and out of the car. Which begs the question, what's the point of the whole "base" system once they're no longer infants if you use two different seats? And the biggest, biggest thing is the price. $220 for the stroller seat? $360 for the car seat!?!?! That's highway robbery. We'll buy the stroller seat, but we're taking the base out of our car and buying a quality car seat for safely under $200.

Summary: This stroller is terrific for tall parents! 2008-08-01
Comment: My husband and I were first introduced to the Orbit Baby Stroller by a salesperson because we were looking for a stroller that would be good for tall parents. My husband is 6'7", and I am 6'0". With the exception of the Orbit, we kicked the tires on every other stroller we tested. The Orbit is great because it has 3 handle positions, so both tall and short people can use it. The rear wheels are set far apart, and they are not connected by a bar, which eliminates the kicking problem. The tall handles, wheel position and lack of a connecting bar make it extremely comfortable and easy to push the stroller. Neither my husband nor I have to bend over to push the stroller. I was hesitant to purchase the stroller due to the price, but it was by far the best investment we have made.

Summary: Best stroller for disabled 2008-06-07
Comment: Many of the reviews here are accurate and I won't reiterate, but I thought our application may be helpful for those mothers/fathers who have a problem with one hand.
My wife lost most strength and coordination of one of her arms because of a stroke and we were looking for a stroller/car seat that would be easiest for her to use.
The beauty of Orbit is that my wife can unlatch the car seat from the stroller or car base with just one hand as opposed to all other car seats we looked at which required a squeeze or twist of two handles to unlock. Also, the ability to place the car seat in the car straight in with the baby facing out the passenger door and then swivel into rear facing position is really convenient.
One hand closure of the stroller base is very convenient for me and easy for my wife.
She has trouble tying her shoelaces, but she has no problem with the Orbit!
We've had this system for 7 months and still going strong.
