After reading majority of the reviews on Amazon (good and bad) it all comes down to preference. The negative reviews here are mainly on price and not on the actual product. The question is "is this item worth the price tag of $900"? Granted at first glance it looks like a hefty price, but when you compare the price of this and other leading strollers, there is more value here. The Orbit Baby is widely compared to the Bugaboo Cameleon. Now the Bugaboo Cameleon comes in 8 different colors and ranges from $880-$979. This doesn't include the additional cost of a cup holder or organizer bag. Nor does it come with an infant car seat. That's a very simple comparison. Since we got the main competitor out of the way, we can compare it to other infant car seat travel systems. But again this all boils down to preference. If you can't afford the Orbit Baby, it's very simple, you can just not buy it. You can stick to the normal Gracco strollers. You don't buy a BMW if you can't afford it and then say it's just way too pricey for something with four wheels and gets you from point A to point B. It's all preference and your ability to spend the money. The Orbit Baby is very safe.

When I first read about the Orbit Baby I was blown away by the price. My wife said it's just not worth $900. So instead of buy a brand new G2, I found a G1 on craigslist. Paid $400 for it and man were we impressed. My wife is 5'1 and 110lbs. She has no problem with putting the car seat into the car and taking it out. Please note that we both have back problems. After 4 weeks of using the G1, we decided to drop the $900 for the G2. We are currently selling our G1 and this stroller does hold it's value.

The Orbit Baby Stroller and Car Seat Combo is the best product available. I did extensive research on what to get and Orbit surpasses all the other strollers/car seats by far. It is the most functional of any stroller that I researched and "test drove."

Better than Bugaboo, Peg Perego, MacLaren, not just BETTER, the BEST. It is safe and secure for your little one - nice and "cozy wozy." The 360 degree spin feature makes getting in and out of the car a breeze and the one handed collapsible stroller feature makes life so much easier. As any parent can attest, the little things make such a difference, they make life so much easier, and the people at Orbit know this - they designed this stroller with babies and parents-using-one-hand-most-of-the-time, in mind.

I know it's pricey, but it is worth it. Why spend a few hundred on a car seat, another couple of hundred on a stroller and additional dollars on a diaper bag when you can buy the Orbit system that has it all! And with Orbit, you know that it all matches beautifully, is totally safe, and everything fits! And when your little one gets older, you can buy the Toddler Seat for a mere $150 and there's even a Bassinet with Rocker (!) for $229.

Everywhere I go, people comment on my stroller. Even people without children, okay? It is a serious headturner. But the most serious thing about Orbit stroller is that it's safe and lightweight. The fact that it's aesthetically pleasing, spins 360 degrees, has a cool "paparazzi shield" to block the sun, wind or rain, closes with one hand, comes with a diaper bag, can go over grass, gravel or sand, and is a car seat/stroller seat all in one is just the icing on the cupcake.

Look no further.

And NO, I do not work for the company :-)
