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.

Like traditional travel systems, Orbit Baby's Infant Travel System includes a stay-in-car base, infant car seat, and stroller frame. But that's where the similarities end. The Orbit Infant Travel System'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.

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.

It is just nice, light and easy to use. Your service and delivery are as good as the stroller.

My husband and I love the orbit infant system. We've done a lot of research on strollers and the orbit tops our list. Its an incredibly well thought out system that combines the infant car seat with the stroller. Its the easiest car seat/stroller system around. I agree with other reviewers that its a definite plus to have a car seat that swivels making it easier to move from stroller to car and vice versa. The swiveling also comes in very handy when strolling and you want to move your baby away from the sun. We also love the panniers that can attach to the stroller. It comes in especially handy when you're out grocery shopping so you do not have to carry an extra basket or push an extra cart. Overall we've been incredibly impressed with the orbit. Its very well built and we would highly recommend it. It truly is a well engineered piece of baby equipment with parents in mind. It is definitely is worth the money.

Just purchased Orbit System and find it to be exactly as advertised.

This stroller system is so easy to use and move between the car and actual wheeled base. I even use it grocery shopping instead of a cart! And the fact that i can rotate my infant away from the sun when taking walks is fabulous. I'm not looking forward to her growing out of it!

I LOVE THIS SYSTEM! I have tried my friends car seats and strollers and they are always to hard to figure out. This is so easy and on top of that it isn't heavy. (5'7 & 132lbs) I can't wait to use it when she gets here. I'm going to be purchasing the accessories as well! I would recommend this to anyone who wants a SAFE EASY system to use.

Only con would be price, but I'm not deducting points for that.

My wife and I are both nurses and we absolutely love this system. It is simple, easy and fast to install and use. It is underestemated how often you put in and take out a car seat of which the orbit makes all too easy. The only two complaints we have about the system are: The center tightner of the base is a little bulky and needed a towel to make it fit to our GMC Jimmy, and second sometimes we are out and about and the stroller gets more attention than our new son! I can only attibute that to it being so unique looking, while good looking babies are so common. lol.

The system is awesome to put up and use, Great color, light weight and easy to put together. It also adjusts very easily. I would recommend it for everyone. This was a present from my wife's mother, she always gets the greatest stuff.

We have had the Orbit Baby Infant System since we brought our 2 month old home from the hospital. We LOVE it and can't say enough about it. Immediately you can tell its designers had the busy and active parent in mind...from its (1) ready-to-go-right-out-of-the-box-very little-assembly-required to its (2) quick and safe installation in the car (we have had so many friends complain about how hard other car seats were to install ...and after a couple of hours of their time, they still ended up bringing it to the police station to make sure the seat was secure--and even then, the police re-positioned the car seat because its installation was wrong!) to its (3) one-handed folding stroller to its (4) smooth one-handed steering.
When I met some friends for lunch with my baby, I found that getting out of the car with infant in tow was a snap. I popped the trunk, flipped out the stroller base with one hand, picked up my baby in the car seat and dropped him into the base and we were ready to roll. The valet was so impressed with how quickly and easily we were on the move..."I really like that. I've never seen anything like it before."
As a physician who sees a lot of new parents with back pain, I really appreciate its ergonomic design. It is the only car seat on the market with side handles and the only car seat that you can drop into the seat base from any angle.
This ability to rotate 360 degrees also allows us to keep our baby facing us when we eat out at restaurants.
Oh, and the style-factor...its sleek and stylish look always gets comments and WOW's. I have yet to have an outing where I don't get asked about the Orbit Baby System.
We are so happy with our Orbit and feel so secure with its safety that we are purchasing an Orbit Infant System for my expecting sister...only the best is good enough for family.

We have both the infant travel system, the bassinet and the rocker. We love all of them. It's well constructed and everything just plain works well. There are two things that aren't perfect; one minor and one relatively major.

1) Our daughter is growing out of the bassinet already at 6 months. I guess that's the price you pay for it being a reasonably handy size. While traveling we use the bassinet and rocker (it fits in a big duffel bag) as a easy to setup place for her to sleep that we can put anywhere.

2) The infant car seat is advertised as fitting well in airplanes, but in our experience it's a tiny bit too large to fit very well (or at all in some airplanes). Sitting rear facing it'll either not fit or it'll only fit if the seat in front doesn't recline; so either it doesn't work or you have to rotate it after take-off and before landing.

Love this orbit stroller... especially for traveling!

Just brought our baby home this weekend and we are so glad we chose the orbit as our stroller system. We've received nothing but compliments on it and find it so easy to use. The swivel infant seat makes it so easy to get baby in and out of the car and we also love it's quick and easy one hand folding technique. Can't wait to start taking baby out on nice long walks. I would definately recommend this stroller. Worth every penny!!

This is the best. It is expensive but you get a safe car seat and a lightweight, easily maneuverable stroller. My husband loves it because he can push it w/o breaking his back because of the height adjustments, oh lets not forget its not girly. There's a great tray with 2 cup holders. Yes, the underbasket is not very useful but I use it to put blankets, toys and change of clothes. I have a diaper bag that attaches to the handle so I don't really mind that there's no basket. Now our baby is 6 months old, she can still fit in the car seat comfortably but I'm thinking of getting the toddler attachment seat.

LOVE my Orbit system. I gave birth overseas and travel frequently ( my 10 month old is on her 16th flight!) and EVERYWHERE I go in the world, EVERYONE comments on the Orbit system.
It is hands down the BEST on the market. So easy to use at the flight gate or just shopping around town. I have had a few people follow me to my car to check out the car seat system after seeing me with the stroller. They all tell me how they spent hours installing their car seats and are just amazed at how easy the Orbit system is. I reply it is also one of the safest on the market. Everything on the stroller is of the best quality (the wheels are awesome!) and designed with ease of use in mind.

It is worth every penny...and more. I say this to myself almost daily! My experience with customer service has also been exceptional. I have actually received a reply to an email question within 7 minutes! To me that is amazing! Most companies send an auto reply stating someone will contact you within 48 hours, and then the reply does not even begin to address your question. Not the case with Orbit...again, the service you would expect from this quality system.

I am anxious to get the Toddler car seat! However, I would rather wait and know that the car seat has been tested and is the safest product they can make. In the mean time, the toddler stroller seat is a great option. And even though I bought another car seat to tide me over until the release of the Orbit toddler car seat, I figure Grandma can always keep an extra at her house!

Like any expecting mother, I spent countless hours researching strollers and car seat options. After hours spent online and asking other moms, I spoke to my friend who owns a children's boutique and attends the industry trade shows regularly. She told me the ONLY system she would buy is the Orbit system. Once I looked it up online, I was sold and my search ended immediately. I have never looked back....I just LOVE my Orbit system and do not know what I would do without it!

Orbit Baby Infant System

The Orbit Baby Infant System is turning heads as one of the newest and hippest high-end infant travel systems on the market. Orbit Baby is a California-based company that prides itself in creating smart, sophisticated travel solutions for modern parents. The Orbit Infant System is a three-piece kit that includes a base, infant car seat, and stroller. Unlike traditional infant travel systems, the Orbit Infant System's unique docking technology, SmartHub, allows for easy interchange with Orbit Baby accessories, such as the bassinet and rocker, as well as future Orbit seats to create a multifaceted travel and comfort system for your growing child. Plus, the Orbit Baby Infant System features thoughtful, impressive engineering designed with one thing in mind - making your life as a new parent easier.

The Orbit Baby stay-in-the-car infant seat base is touted as the easiest, quickest base to safely install. The base's patent-pending StrongArm technology allows a secure installation in 60 seconds or less by simply clicking the LATCH connectors and turning the StrongArm knob to tighten the straps. Orbit Baby's patent-pending SmartHub is the key to the system's interconnectivity and lets you easily dock the Orbit infant car seat from almost any angle. This new ergonomic technology is kinder on your back while making boarding less stressful for your little passenger by avoiding unnecessary car seat jostling. The SmartHub docking mechanism is bolstered with a resilient stainless steel ring for strength and safety, and the base's full metal chassis and aero-space aluminum backbone lend increased durability and stability. The Orbit Baby infant seat base includes an integrated seat pad to protect your vehicle's interior. Additional Orbit Baby Car Seat Bases may be purchased to simplify the transition between multiple vehicles.

The Orbit Baby infant car seat is the common "plug-in" for the three-in-one infant system and can be moved nearly effortlessly from the base to the stroller. Thanks to the SmartHub technology, Orbit is the only infant car seat that ergonomically rotates for simple docking and undocking in both the car seat and stroller modes. For airplane and cab use, the infant car seat is also certified for use without the base. The Orbit Baby infant car seat meets all Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards and is rated to support a baby up to 22 pounds and 29 inches long. For maximum energy absorption, the seat is fully lined with EPP foam, a next-generation material that is softer and more durable than other types of foam. The seat's deep cradle design provides extensive side-impact protection for a safe and snug ride. In addition to its safety features, the Orbit Baby infant car seat includes several smart, convenient innovations. The seat's machine-washable micro-fiber upholstery is one of the easiest to remove of any car seat fabric we've seen. The patent-pending design allows parents to simply detach the fabric without unthreading the harness. Other clever innovations include the seat's soft, adjustable carry handle and unique ballistic nylon skin that offers protection and carrying comfort similar to the look and feel of high-end luggage. The seat also features an exclusive sunshade extension that provides extra "paparazzi" coverage, letting your little one snooze undisturbed and fully protected from the sun. The Orbit All Season Weather Pack, available as an accessory, shields your baby from rain and insects.

The third member of the Orbit Baby Infant System is Orbit's modern and lightweight stroller. As is the case with the Orbit base, SmartHub allows the infant car seat to dock to the stroller from any angle, and with 360 degree rotation baby can face rear, forward, or sideways to view the world from different perspectives. The aerospace-grade aluminum tubing and frame is both strong and lightweight and, when coupled with the unique front suspension and rear pneumatic tires, makes the Orbit stroller one of the most nimble strollers around. Because parents are often short on both time and free hands, the Orbit Baby stroller offers a true one-hand fold via a simple twist and lift mechanism. With an efficient, 3-D design, the folded Orbit stroller measures 31" L x 12.5" W x 12" H and will easily fit in the trunk of any compact car. The Orbit Baby stroller also features a removable cargo pod that holds 6.75 gallons and is easier to reach than traditional stroller underseat storage compartments. Two drink holders, a safety lanyard, and telescoping height-adjustable handles round out the Orbit stroller's sleek yet convenient offerings.

Because Orbit Baby products are designed with the same interchangeable SmartHub technology, you can continue to use the base and stroller with future Orbit seats and accessories as your child grows. The Orbit Toddler Stroller Seat turns the Orbit stroller into a fully loaded luxury ride for your toddler up to 40 pounds. Like the Orbit infant seat, the Toddler Seat can rotate 360 degrees to give your child a change of scenery. The seat's removable, machine-washable upholstery pad is sure to keep your little tike comfortable in any climate, with a reversible cool aero-mesh for summer strolls and warm micro-fiber for winter outings. The Toddler Stroller Seat also includes comfort shoulder pads, mosquito net and rainshield, removable support bar, snack pouch, one-hand full recline for easy napping, and a hidden sunshade extension that blocks nearly 100% of UVA and UVB rays. The seat features a compact fold and handy carry tote for easy transport. For an added splash of color, the Orbit Toddler Stroller Seat Accessory Pack includes extra seat fabric, shoulder pads, and snack pouch available in three vibrant colors.

Another super-smart Orbit accessory is the Orbit Bassinet Cradle, which features a Bassinet that can be docked onto the included Rocker to create a modern cradle or onto the Orbit stroller to form an eye-catching pram to take the tiniest of newborns for a walk in comfort and safety. The Bassinet includes many of the advanced features of the other Orbit products, such as a reversible mattress perfect for any climate, exclusive paparazzi shield, and soft carrier handle. The Bassinet also makes a handy travel bed and collapses to less than six inches thick for compact transport. The Orbit Rocker, which is also available separately, can easily dock the bassinet or any Orbit seat to keep your sleeping baby comfortable and content. The Orbit Baby SmartHub rotation allows rocking from side-to-side or front-to-rear, and at a light 3.5 pounds and flat fold, the Rocker is a perfect travel companion.

With its smart design, modern appeal, and high-end finish, the Orbit Baby Infant System is a force to be reckoned with in the premium infant travel system market. The system won the 2007 iParenting Media Award for Best Product and has been recognized by a host of pregnancy and parenting magazines for its innovation and unique look. BabyEarth.com carries the Orbit Baby Infant System in two chic fashions: black/slate and mocha/khaki.
