The Best of the Best

We purchased this car seat for my brother and sister in law who are expecting in July after having the same one ourselves for our son who is almost a year old, along G5 Stroller System and Jogger base. We absolutely LOVE all this OrbitBaby and the products always get a lot of attention from our friends and family! I feel like a lot of new parents still don’t know about Orbit Baby but really need to! As parents, it’s super functional, amazing quality, and looks much more high end than others. My son enjoys using the products and we know he’s safe and sound in them all! We would highly recommend OrbitBaby!

Merino Wool Car Seat

Received our merino wool car seat and LOVE IT! Even though he is not due till August, we played around with carrying it and putting it in our car. As first-time parents, it was very easy to install and the quality was AMAZING! We are so happy with our purchase and are excited to get other items for our new little man!

So Worth the Investment!

My daughter and her husband - the engineer - researched safety, comfort and the interchangeability of car seats, strollers and bassinettes as we waited for their first baby to arrive. Nothing was more capable or trustworthy than the Orbit system - and now that Baby has arrived, we all benefit from the interchangeability between our cars for car seats. My favorite feature is being able to strap a little one into the car seat facing me, then rotating him to the proper position and hearing the seat lock into place.

Orbit Baby

For a first time mommy, finding the right car seat and stroller system was a big deal for me. After much research, I finally found an aesthetically pleasing rotational base car seat and stroller system. Nothing less than rose gold for my baby girl! I absolutely adore everything Orbit and I recommend to everyone I come across. I’ve thus far purchased the stroller system with stroller infant seat, car seat, two bases, bassinet, jogging stroller, mosquito nets and rain covers for both the car seat and stroller seat. I adore it!

The best car seat on the market!

I am a first time mom and I did so much research before truly selecting a car seat that would work best for our new little family! The orbit baby was the one I just couldn’t help but keep leaning towards! I am short and petite so I knew I would need something compatible for an easy in and out transfer from the car to stroller. The 360 option on these car seats is what sold me the most! I definitely got exactly what I wanted in a car seat for my baby and I.

Convenient and stress-free infant car seat

Love the convenience factor - upon discharge from the hospital, we were able to transport the baby from the hospital room, to the car, to our home without disturbing her. The sun shield is a nicer addition especially during the summer months. It's pricey but worth it for us.

Feel so safe

We looked at a few other brand but they were all so dinky and the plastic, although lights, felt brittle and unsafe. Orbit feels very safe and my daughter is comfortable. Worth the price and the service is outstanding.

I just had my second baby, a little girl, 1 week ago. I bought the Orbit Baby Carseat in Melange Navy, I'm so in love. At first I was thinking that color would be more for a boy, but when I saw it in person I instantly fell in love. It's a perfect color for a girl or boy. I will be buying the stroller soon. Thank you Orbit Baby!

Seems Great!

I can’t say much about this car seat since we didn’t use it but out of all the rotating ones we looked at, this one was by far the easiest to maneuver and seemed the sturdiest. We also loved how it clicked into place. Unfortunately, we had our stroller already and there wasn’t an adaptor for this car seat so we had to return it. We were bummed though because we loved even the small amount of time we had with it!
