Is the Orbit the new Bugaboo? We’ll have to see. But so far, Orbit Baby Stroller Systemsare beginning to pop up all over Hollywood. Maggie Gyllenhaal has one for her daughter Ramona and was seen pushing it last month.Heidi Klum took her new son Johan out for a stroll in the park in amocha version not long after his birth. Elvis Costello and Diana Krall decided toskip a double stroller for their twin sons and buy two Orbits. And Gwen Stefani has one too.
Thevery modern looking stroller/car seat combo is sold together, with atoddler seat and different color cushions sold separately. Orbit isalso introducing a bassinet and a bouncer next month. The bouncerallows the bassinet, car seat, and the toddler seat to connect to thetop of it. A toddler car seat that will also fit on the stroller, an industry first, is planned for later this year.
One of the key features of the Orbit is its 360 degree rotation, allowing your child to face forward, backward or sideways. It also makes putting the car seat in the car a lot easier as you can put it in facing you and then turn it to the back for the car ride.
Note: Stay tuned for Danielle’s review next month.
