About The Orbit Stroller System

Article Source: Baby Stroller Adviser. Copyright 2008

The Orbit Baby is (in our view) the most innovative and functionally designed baby system on the market. All the parts are completely compatible and integrated for fit, qualiity, comfort and ease of use.

Orbit is the world's first "rotating" stroller which means your baby can ride facing you or facing forward. The Orbit also has the easiest car seat to safely install. And....it truly grows with you child. PLUS it has a removeable storage compartment below the seat.

The Orbit carries a higher price but according to those who are using it...it's "Worth every penny and more". Check out pricing

"The Orbit is innovative, easy-to-use and well built.
Safe. Secure. It provides better value in terms of the quality of materials used, the fit and finish of the details and more user friendly features in a more compact design."

Here's What Innovation Looks Like

Removeable Storage Pod

The Orbit's deceptively large storage bag holds volumes of baby essentials and easily pulls out of the Stroller frame.

This storage system is so unique that it has been patented.

PLUS it has a shoulder strap for the perfect on-the-go travel accessory.

One-Handed Folding

Designed with parents in mind, Orbit's Stroller has a true one-handed fold. Simply by twisting and lifting with one hand on the Stroller, the frame collapses compactly in all three dimensions to fit in even the smallest car trunks.

And instead of you ending up bent to the ground, this backsaving motion has you standing with Stroller in hand, ready to go.

Modular Design

With their modular approach, you'll accumulate a lot less gear for family travel.

The system is designed to grow as your baby grows: just swap out your Orbit seat and keep using the rest of your durable system.

From a newborn infant to a toddler, from a walk in the park to a trek through the airport, you can adapt your Orbit travel system to accommodate life’s roller-coaster.

Full Cover Canopy Shield
Parents want to protect their little ones from harsh sun, wind, drizzle and germs, especially during naps.

With Orbit, there's no need to throw a blanket over your infant carrier - simply pull down the sunshade extension for nearly 100% UVA and UVB blockage and lightweight, breathable protection for your baby.

Side Protection Car Seat

Orbit's car seats provide your child with some of the most well-designed and largest side-protection areas available.

The Orbit Infant and Toddler Car Seats use continuous side-protection impact foam linings made of high-grade EPP foam.

The shells of both car seats protect your child by extending noticeably higher on the sides than other car seats on the market.

User Friendly Upholstery

Mess is a reality when dealing with kids, and parents should't have to compromise the safety of their car seat every time they clean it.

Orbit's patent-pending car seat upholsteries are not only designed to keep your safety harness intact when you remove it for machine washing, but the installation clamps and belt adjustors are also accessible through easy-access upholstery flaps.

Soft Carrier Handles

The patent-pending soft carrier handles on the Bassinet and Infant Car Seat allow you to carry your infant comfortably close to your body.

Other infant carriers have hard plastic handles that position it far from a parent’s center of gravity, resulting in an awkward carrying position.

Orbit's soft handles are also ergonomically flexible, and fold away easily without separating or detaching.

Color Coded Action Points

With minimal assembly required, Orbit products are designed to be intuitive and easy to use right out of the box, without complicated instructions.

To make things even easier for you, they have used a mint green color for each product's "action points."

This way you can easily identify the mint green-colored knobs, levers, and tabs that indicate folding, rotating, and wheel braking mechanisms.

Strength

Orbit’s Stroller has tubing made of aerospace-grade 6061-T6 aluminum. The triangular shape is custom drawn through a forging die into tubes for a more durable structure.

For safety, they anneal these tubes for strength. After bending and shaping, the tubes are then taken through a long and gradual heat treatment to harden them again.

Child Safety

The safety latches on the bottom of each car seat are made of extremely high-strength materials. The steel and matrix-reinforced latches are made of Nylon 6/6, a specialty polymer that is higher-grade than the plastics used in most baby gear. The cast aluminum latches, used on the Toddler Car Seat, are made of specialty alloy that is heat-treated to achieve strength and durability.

Comfort

Most car seats are lined with inexpensive Expanded PolyStyrene, commonly called “Styrofoam,” for impact absorption.

Orbit car seats are lined instead with Expanded PolyPropylene, which is a higher-grade engineering foam costing four times as much as EPS.

Just pressing on these two different types of foam with your hand will convince you of the dramatic difference in cushioning.

UV Materials
It is especially important to shield developing infants and children from harmful UV rays. That’s why Orbit Baby provides fully-integrated, complete-cover sun protection with a sunshade and sunshade extension of the Infant Car Seat and Bassinet.

Their sunshades block nearly 100% UVA and UVB rays, and some are enhanced with a special silver coating nearly impermeable to UV radiation.

No PVC Rain Shield
PVC and associated phthalates are harmful to both the environment and our children. Orbit Baby provides the world’s first PVC-free rain shields.

This PVC-free, phthalate-free, and chlorine-free polymer, provides a transparent rain shield solution without the fumes, chemicals, stickiness, and that “shower-curtain smell” associated with PVC.

Soft Touch Surfaces
Like luxury car interiors, the hard outer surfaces of Orbit products are covered with a high-grade, soft-touch material.

This soft finish provides a more comfortable surface than the hard plastic edges and corners of most other baby gear.

The foam layer on the Base, Infant Car Seat, Toddler Car Seat and Bassinet is heat-molded to the shell, then laminated with ballistic nylon for a luxury finish.

Ballistic Fabric Skin
All Orbit seats are protected on exterior surfaces with a high-grade ballistic fabric skin.

Unlike the outer fabrics on most car seats and stroller seats that are thin and flimsy, this material is often used on premium luggage because it is abrasion-resistant and durable.
