For new parents, a travel system is essential for getting a newborn out of the house and on to their life's adventures. It's also going to help with everything from family travel to important errands. Opting for a luxe car seat and stroller system that offers a great look and loads of features can make it all easier. After all, if you have to use something every day, we recommend choosing a style you'll absolutely love. One of the most popular luxe stroller and car seat travel system brands is Orbit Baby, known for their unique rotating car seat that converts to a stroller without any extra parts such as an adapter.
Orbit Baby is Redefining Luxury in Baby Travel Systems
Orbit Baby differentiates itself in the luxury baby product market by being the only rotating car seat in the US that converts to a stroller without any extra parts such as an adapter. The brand is committed to premium materials, such as aerospace-grade anodized aluminum, ensuring that the frame color remains scratch and fade-resistant. It also uses luxurious mélange fabrics that are soft to the touch and come in unique colors, enhancing the overall aesthetic. The foam used in these stroller seats and infant inserts is memory foam, providing exceptional comfort for a baby.
The inspiration for this luxe travel system came in 2004, when Orbit Baby was founded. There was a lack of true innovation in the car seat category. The creators sought a new way to make family transport easier and more engaging, leading to the development of a unique technology.
“Orbit Baby's car seat and stroller combination brought something entirely new to the market, creating a demand for features and benefits that parents immediately appreciated. The distinctive colors, fabrics, and innovative design resonated with parents, setting Orbit Baby apart as a true pioneer in the industry,” said Mike Krantz, Director of Marketing & eCommerce, Orbit Baby USA.
Celebrities Who Love Orbit Baby
Beyoncé might be the unofficial founder of the Orbit Baby OG fan club, having used an Orbit Baby stroller since welcoming her daughter, Blue Ivy, in 2012. If Queen Bey is the fan club president, Chrissy Teigen would be her VP, as she first used an Orbit Baby stroller when her daughter, Luna, was born in 2016. Additionally, Kim Kardashian and her sister, Kourtney, are both proud owners of Orbit Baby strollers, showcasing their preference for stylish and functional baby gear.
Unique Luxury Features of Orbit Baby Strollers and Car Seats
Orbit Baby stands out with its unique rotating car seat that seamlessly transitions to the stroller frame without any additional parts. With a simple click, you can easily remove the seat from the car and place it on the stroller frame. The travel system is designed to grow with a family, featuring a double stroller option and a sidekick board for older siblings. The car seat handle is soft and ergonomically comfortable, providing increased comfort for parents compared to the hard handles of most car seats. The new G5plus infant seat includes an innovative insert and a no-rethread harness, allowing for easy adjustment of the straps for the baby's safety and comfort, especially for low birth weight children. The rotation feature is particularly beneficial for postpartum, especially C-section, moms, as the rotating car seat reduces the need to twist the body when strapping in the baby.
For luxury enthusiasts, there is a Merino Wool Car Seat option that is made from a Merino-poly blend, ensuring both performance and durability. This blend, which is Oeko-Tex certified and free from chemical flame retardants, is thermo-regulating and moisture-wicking, keeping your baby cool in the heat and warm in the cold. It is also easy to maintain.
Enhancing Luxury with SmartHub® Technology
The SmartHub® technology is the brain behind Orbit Baby's seamless rotation mechanism. This innovative feature is used with the car seat, stroller, and bassinet, allowing parents and caregivers to effortlessly change the child's position. Whether it's adjusting to avoid the sun or enabling the baby to engage with the parent or the world around them, SmartHub® makes transitions smooth and easy without lifting the seat. The stroller seat offers three reclining positions, adding to its versatility. With one SmartHub base fitting all components, you can customize your travel system as you go from car seat to stroller seat to bassinet, all without needing an adapter.
Commitment to Safety in Product Design and Development
Safety is a number one concern at Orbit Baby. All products are certified by the Department of Transportation and JPMA, and they maintain confidence in textiles with Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 certification. Orbit meets and exceeds all safety standards for car seats, including compliance with California Proposition 65, which tests for harmful synthetics. Products also adhere to FMVSS 302 and 213, CPSIA, JPMA, ASTM voluntary standards, and CFR Title 16, which tests for small parts and sharp edges. Internally, the team is hyper-focused on identifying and resolving any issues promptly, ensuring that products remain reliable and safe, with no recalls to date.
