Categories: Baby, Car Seats, Strollers
We’re big Orbit Baby fans around here, so we were psyched when Orbit invited us to participate in the pre-launch of their new G2 Infant System and Stroller. Our Brookline and Wellesley stores are among the first stores in the whole country to have an actual G2 available for demonstrations and test-drives, and our web… read more!

Categories: ABC Show 2009, Baby, Car Seats, Cold Weather, Eco-friendly, Strollers, Travels & Trade Shows
“Concept strollers” were all the rage at the ABC Show, with lots of manufacturers showing off interesting ideas that may or may not come to the market. But while “concept” is the label Orbit Baby is applying to their new G2 product line, I got the impression it’s more a question of “when” than “if.”… read more!

Orbit gets thumbs-up from NHTSA
Categories: Baby, Car Seats, News and Information
We just received a letter from Joseph Hei, CEO and Co-founder of Orbit Baby. After last week’s debacle with Consumer Reports, Orbit went straight to the NHTSA and asked them to test the seat.

The incident led to some staffing changes at Consumer Reports, and they’ve been trying… read more!

Categories: Baby, Car Seats, Strollers
I’ve already written at length about the Orbit Infant System, as I’ve been using it with Zev for 11 months now.

Speaking of Orbit: Road Test I
Categories: General
For the past ten weeks, I’ve been conducting an elaborate road test of the Orbit Infant System. Or, more specifically, I’ve been using it with Zev. I’ve been a fan of the Orbit since its debut, but my enthusiasm for the product was largely theoretical. Using the product has given me a host of new… read more!

Orbit Toddler Car Seat
Categories: Baby, Car Seats
When Orbit Baby was launched, they promised to reinvent the travel system from top to bottom, and they also promised to extend the concept of the travel system beyond the common boundaries of the infant car seat. With the Orbit Infant System, they effectively fulfilled promise #1. The system has been a great success, with… read more!
