Pros: Very simple to use, stylish, durable
Cons: Car seat too heavy for my wimpy arms

My back loves loading the baby into this car seat. I've loaded kids into those other hard-mounted or just rear-facing car seats and think that's one of those "Do-Not's" as far as your back goes. With the Orbit I load the kid in either by rotating the seat in the mount and putting her in naturally or actually take the seat out of the mount and load her in on the seat before clicking it into place on the mount.

That's why I like the Orbit. And the pod for all the gear that you otherwise haul on your back or strung over the handles. And the ability to rotate the seat in the stroller to keep the sun out of her face. And even having complete strangers say things like "That's the coolest stroller I've ever seen" (actual quote from the first day we used it.) And that it folds up with one hand operation.

I mean, it is pricey but it has some serious benefits.

In the future we may want the bassinet or the bigger kid's car seat or something else. We won't have to throw the whole thing out, and I like that.
