I bought the Orbit infant system and have been absolutely THRILLED with it. But when my son got too big for the infant car seat (at about the 8 month mark, he was 20 pounds but 30 inches, so he exceeded the height requirement) I started looking around, and to be honest, I wasn't as awed by the toddler stroller seat at first. I felt like it just wasn't as aerodynamic, cool or as functional as the infant car seat. But I was very very wrong.

I have to say that this stroller seat is overall well designed but does have a few flaws that I would change. Here is a list of it's pros and cons.

CONS:
1) The foot rest could have been better designed. Other strollers I've looked at had an adjustable foot rest to extend when baby is sleeping in reclined position. This one does not. Feet dangle, but it hasn't bothered my 8 month old yet, though I imagine he might mind it when he's bigger and his feet are longer. Not THAT big of a deal, but something to consider.

2) The swivel mechanism on this seat is a two-handed action, unlike the infant seat that could swivel pulling only one of the levers. Not a huge deal but would have been nice to be able to swivel it one-handed.

3) It would have been wonderful to have a snack tray attached to the safety bar instead of having to buy one to add on.

4) The straps can get easily tangled.

5) When folded, the stroller is on the larger side but as compact as it probably can get.

PROS:
1) The fact that all the wonderful features of the orbit base are still there make this worth getting. The steering is excellent (one handed), the cup holders, the retractable bag on the bottom make it a good reason to extend the life of the system by buying the stroller seat. I looked at a bunch of other strollers for comparison, including Maclarens (Triumph, Quest, Techno XT) Peg Peregos (SI and Aria), and the Bugaboo bee, and I whole-heartedly felt like the Orbit had a better end product than all the rest.

2) The sun shade is beyond wonderful. It offers an almost 100% sun protection and fully shields my son.

3) The swivel mechanism comes in handy more than I expected. I don't think I was quite ready to have my son not facing me, so it's been nice to be able to have him look out to the world or to me when he needs a little more comforting.

4) At first, the huge space between the stroller seat and the handles bothered me. I felt like it was just empty space when the seat was upright, but boy was I wrong!! It has proven to almost be the best feature of this stroller since it allows me to put our rather large diaper in the space without causing the stroller to topple over when I take my son out (it used to sometimes do that when my diaper bag was rather heavy and I had it hanging by the handles.)

5) The reclining mechanism has impressed me immensely. At first I was hesitant about the clip for the recline, since I had seen some Maclaren models have a three stage recline with a lever and I wanted the Orbit to have it too. But after actually using the stroller seat I've realized that having the clip with the adjustable straps have made it SO easy to recline the seat to whatever angle is comfortable for my son without being constrained by only three positions. My son also loves to sit very upright, and with all the other strollers I put him in he always tried to lean forward since at it's most upright it still was too far back. But with the Orbit seat, I can cinch it to it's tightest and my son is sitting very upright and doesn't feel the need to lean forward. So basically this means he has back support at all times which is wonderful.

6) The seat is very roomy and the material is wonderfully breathable and my son seems very comfortable in it at all times.

7) The seat comes standard with a rain guard and mosquito net. I know no other system that offers those things standard.

My son is 4 1/2 months old and at 27" long has outgrown the Orbit Baby bassinet, which I loved! It was the perfect choice for the mall and other longer outings. He also is kind of cramped & hot in the infant seat for long periods of time, so I sprung for the toddler stroller seat, maybe a bit prematurely. However, though he's a little slouchy & small for it, the 5 point harness supports him enough to keep him in place. He is a big boy, at nearly 17lbs- I'm not sure what the weight recommendations are for it.
Anyways, it is a bit heavy once it's attached to the stroller, and I have a hard time opening it every time, which I can't figure out why. Maybe I'm just losing brain cells by the minute as a new mom :)
But all in all, I like it, think it looks really cool, and love that it still rotates around. Plus, I know he'll grow into it as he get's to be an actual toddler.
