Orbit Baby Infant Car Seat and Base G2, Black

 (4 customer reviews)

We purchased the Orbit Infant Car Seat G2 System for our daughter (who is now six months old as I am writing this review). It looked so sleek, modern and functional. I love the stroller, the diaper bag, the addition of the panniers is awesome and I have the accessories which work well, BUT both my daughter and I have grown to hate the infant car seat. First of all, I will tell you the positives: the rotation base is very convenient; the sun shade is awesome; the materials are top notch; the accessories (bug cover and rain cover) are very nice; and the built-in cover is wonderful (it keeps baby sheltered from the elements). Okay, now to the reasons we dislike it. It is extremely narrow and deep. This means if you have a larger than average child (mine is in the 70th percentiles for height and weight) she will not fit comfortably in it for very long. As a newborn to about 6 weeks, she was okay with it. After that, she started to scream bloody murder, because her shoulders were...Read more

I love Orbitbaby infant travel system.

First, it seems so much safer than the alternatives. When I took the carseat and carseatbase to be inspected, the ladies there couldn't believe how well the seat and base were made.

I cannot imagine taking my son out of the carseat to put him in a stroller. Many times he would fall alseep, and we would be able to take him in to restaurants etc. without disturbing him. Being able to turn him is great. Made putting him in the car a breeze, and as he got older, we let him decide if he wants to look around or see me. At restuarants, we would park the base in the least obstructing way and still be able to see him. Fabric is amazing, and when I washed it after my son outgrew his seat, the cover looks brand new. The ruby color is so beautiful, and the shield...Read more

I love how easy this docks and goes into the car but my daughter never seemed really comfy in there. She is a pretty sever reflux baby and would just throw up till she was empty everytime she was put in here. So we took the bassinet with us and would just transfer her into that when we went walking. I have never tried her in another car set so i am sure it is not a problem with the orbit but more with her reflux. Regardless we have every item of orbit and recently upgraded to the G2 version of them all. As an update she is now 7 months old and is actually quite comfy in this seat and will probably outgrow it in the next 6 weeks
