Orbit Around My World.

Socialite Nicole Richie with an Orbit stroller, she also has a fancy Balmoral too.

The only splurge I'll be making for baby is the Orbit stroller. The second I lay on this baby candy I knew no other stroller would be able to nestle into my heart the way the Orbit has--not the Bugaboo, not the Quinny, and definitely not the Peg Perego. I think this stroller is revolutionary and I prefer a front facing stroller (meaning a stroller where the baby is facing the mother and not outwards into the world) but since the seat can swivel 360 degrees the baby can face any direction. So if I'm sitting at a cafe patio enjoying a tea, I can swivel just the seat and not have to turn the entire stroller to have the baby face me. Voila.

The Orbit in Chocolate. Perfect for your little prince or princess! I love the shape!

The price tag is steek ranging from $850-$1400 depending on the accessories you get for it. The 3-piece basic starter kit is $850 in Toronto and that is cheaper than the model of last year which was $900. The G2 is pretty remarkable though. I went to a baby shop and had a saleswoman show me all the bells and whistles, and boy was I impressed. If she hadn't have been sold out, I would've probably bought one right then and there! And I'm glad the car seat is included, because we drive and we like how easy it is to install into the car from the stroller!

Here is a review from BabyEarth.com on the sweet Orbit G2.
Looking for a fresh, modern take on the tried and true travel system? Orbit Baby's Infant Travel System features unique engineering and a chic design that make it standout in the crowd. Now with the newest G2, there are more safety and ease-of-use features than ever before!
Like traditional travel systems, Orbit Baby's Infant Travel System G2 includes a stay-in-car base, infant car seat, and stroller frame. But that's where the similarities end. The Orbit G2's groundbreaking docking mechanism, known as SmartHub, allows the infant car seat to dock onto its base from almost any angle. No more twisting your back to get the car seat in just the right position! Plus, the base itself employs patent-pending StrongArm technology to ensure a secure installation in 60 seconds or less.
For the ultimate smooth ride for children, QuadShock™, Orbit's patent-pending 4-wheel stroller suspension, gives a plush ride with hassle-free, non-air tires that are made with lightweight and responsive EVA. And with the world’s only car seat fabrics certified healthy and clean by Oeko-Tex, this product is one of the most eco-friendly you can buy.
To complete the travel system, SmartHub allows the infant car seat to dock to the lightweight stroller from any angle with a 360 degree rotation that allows baby to face rear, forward, or sideways. And, because all Orbit Baby products are designed with the same interchangeable SmartHub technology, you can continue to use the base and stroller with other Orbit Baby seats and accessories.
