Product Description

Orbit's Toddler Car Seat is a revolutionary upgrade for your Orbit Infant System. Dock it onto either the Orbit Base or Stroller for unprecedented convenience and flexibility. No other convertible car seat can match the Toddler Car Seat's fully integrated design. You can be proud to show off this sleek car seat without dealing with dangling straps and belts.

Unlike most convertible car seats, Orbit's comes with a UV Sunshade that easily snaps in. Simply pull the premium die-cast levers to securely rotate or unlock the Toddler Car Seat. Unique rear panel safely and stylishly keeps the belts, tethers and Sunshade out of your way. A combination of plush micro-fiber and ventilated fabrics keep your toddler comfortable.

Color coded seat belt clamps make Rear- and Forward-Facing installations simple. 360 degree rotation on the Stroller SmartHub allows your toddler to sit rear, forward or sideways facing. For a super stable installation without the Base (Forward-Facing or optional Rear-Facing), the included Braces snap into the sides of the Car Seat.

• Easily docks onto Orbit's Base, Stroller and Rocker with the SmartHub (Base, Stroller and Rocker sold separately)

• Extensive side protection areas have multiple foam zones to keep your child secure
• EPP foam is higher-grade, softer and more durable than brittle Styrofoam (EPS)

Customer Reviews

Sturdy and safe, but not used with stroller
We were so relieved that we were able to buy this product at last despite the lengthy delays prior to its release. It should be noted that once the seat becomes forward-facing, the famous "docking" car seat base, needed for the Orbit infant car seat, is not used at all. This went against my expectation of the Orbit system "growing with your baby". We had put off buying a forward-facing car seat, despite my child's discomfort with her legs significantly hanging over, as I had thought we would still use the base, so I feel a tad misled. This would have been less of an issue if the seat had been available towards the end of 2007 as was originally promoted.

Anyhow now that we have it in our car, our toddler enjoys being in her seat and the elevated position helps with her ability to see more out the window (which is helpful in keeping her entertained with the passing view and therefore less temper tantrum prone!)

It is well constructed as well as fairly easy to put together and install. Our only gripe is, similar to the Orbit infant car seat (but worse), the seat belts get tangled very easily. Given the earlier reviewers raves about Orbit's customer service, I'll be contacting them this week to see if they can help us resolve this recurring issue. We have not used it as a stroller seat (as advertised) because the forward-facing seat does not use the patented dock, and thus the convenience of being able to rotate the seat off the dock and into the stroller (like the infant car seat) is not available. For us, it is easier and faster to take her out into a more compact stroller, such as the Maclaren Techno Sport, rather than re-do all the seat-belt anchors when we return to our car.

we love it!
We don't have the stroller, only two toddler car seats for our twins and we are completely satisfied! They are safe and sturdy, the fabric is very soft, and our boys are comfortable riding in them - they love to look outside enjoying the scenery - it relaxes and puts them to sleep easily - giving us peace of mind driving with two calm babies in the back! In our case the seats are fixed in the car - taking the children out of them each time is not a big deal for us - we would have to keep doing it anyways... We hope Orbit Baby will release a system for multiples soon!

Great car seat!
This is a great car seat! It is super comfortable and my toddler loves it. The straps are easy to adjust and the set up is pretty easy.

If you have the base, it's very convenient to be able to swivel the seat towards you to load your kid in and out of the car.

The look is cool and modern and the safety records are impeccable!
