I have rheumatoid arthritis, and the Orbit system was the ONLY car seat that I could use! All the others on the market – graco, etc. – require far more hand strength than I possess, and need you to use your thumbs and small joints. The orbit, which I just bought, is sooooo much more ergonomic. And the handle on the orbit doesn’t require Hulk-like strength to simply move it, like on the others. For those moms with health issues, I say the orbit is the way to go!

I need an intervention. I am addicted to buying strollers! I don’t have the Orbitz, but I wish i bought it – my son is too big for it now. Instead i got the bugaboo bee, the Mutsy, Techno XT and the Quinny! I know, I am crazy. Maybe an Orbitz for the next baby…but my husband has put his foot down and said no more!

Wow Danielle, you must have quite the stroller collection at home, don’t you ?
While the Orbit seems multitasking, easy to handle and all, it looks like a shopping cart to me! Personally I like the look of the Bugaboo (and others) much better.

Way too bulky once the kid is ready to get out of the infant seat/bassinette, in my opinion. I have used Combis for both my daughters. Not perfect, but incredibly cheaper and so easy and compact if you are an urban dweller like me living in smaller apartments and taking taxis and subways… They update strollers every year anyway. In a few years there will be something even better than the Orbit for parents to drop a small fortune on! And you know you want to buy a new one for your second or third baby, if you are not having a baby every 2 years. I had my second daughter 5 years after the first and her stroller looked, well, outdated to me! It worked fine but I’m a snob in that regard. I didn’t want her in an “outdated” stroller. Buy a cheaper stroller and donate the rest of the money you would’ve spent on an Orbit to a children’s charity. You could even feed a family in Africa for a few years with the money saved. That’s what I should’ve done with the money spent on my second daughters Combi.

Personally I see nothing wrong with spending on an orbit or bugaboo stroller, your gonna get good use of it and nothing is too good for someone’s child IMO. Especially if you can afford it. If you can’t afford it, than there are plenty of other nice strollers like the graco that are nice too, but I wouldn’t think twice about buying a stroller like that because I would get good use out of it for my child.

It is a cool stroller however I am with others, I can’t justify the price. Maybe the day I am rich I’ll think about it (key word being *think*) because truthfully like SNOW said who really cares how fancy your stroller is. I bought a Chicco (new) off Craigslist for $35.00 (which retailed at the time for $75.00) it’s been the BEST stroller I’ve had out of all the one’s I’ve used! It’s lightweight, easy to fold, easy to push, etc.

I don’t really need to spin my baby around in a preferred direction. By the time the kids are 2-3 yrs old they’ve outgrown it and would rather walk.

The only thing I really find cool about this is the ability to take the seat and place it on the rocker base. But guess what, Graco makes travel swings where your infant seat can attach as well and for half the cost!

I say if you can afford it go for it. But I’d rather take the cost of the stroller and put it towards my kids college fund instead!

What a cool stroller. I want one for my future kiddos but am pretty sure I won’t be able to afford it unless I am able to get it used or they come down in price.

As long as the baby’s safe, that’s what matters. Not that she has the most expensive stroller.

Wel i am havng a baby in dec- and there is no way that I can justify the expense ( as COOL as I know it is!!!!)

I have a peg perego from the last baby that will fit the bill- and only working part time my funds are low- I would love to WON one and justify having another stroller!! so Halle when you get given three pass one along to me!!!

This just cracks me up, in the big scheme of life, is the stroller that you use really THAT freaken important? I don’t even remember the name of mine, and yet, by golly, all 3 of my children are all perfectly normal. HMMM….

Hi guys! I love the Orbit. So cool. Here’s another video of it in action (the video and sound quality is much better)
