BlackGlamourMom Loves…Orbit Baby!

Happy Monday Glams,

So, one of the reasons why BlackGlamourMom was birthed was to be able to share some of my favorite goodies when it comes to raising my son. Whether it’s dishing on some of my must-have toddler snack brands to my never-leave-home-without diaper and baby wipe brands, our goal is simple: We want to be able to share products that we love with our fellow glamour moms.

Starting today, we will be kicking off our “BlackGlamourMom Loves” series! This series will highlight those goodies that we just absolutely love! With this in mind, it was only right that we kicked the series off with one of our favorite stroller and car seat brands, Orbit Baby.

Can I say that I just love, love, love Orbit Baby, as does my son (check him out relaxing in his Orbit Baby Stroller Seat G2.) Months before my son was even born I was on the hunt for the perfect stroller system. I wanted one that was not only safe and functional, but one that was of course stylish. Beyond those features, I was also looking for a stroller system that would be easy for me to maneuver, as I knew that I was going to be traveling solo on plenty of my marathon shopping trips and needed a stroller system that had us petite women in mind. Of course, I also had to find a stroller system that was cool enough for my husband to push as he made it very clear that he too had a stake in this stroller/car seat shopping game.

Say hello to Orbit Baby!

I can still recall when I first landed my eyes on this system in buybuy Baby; I was hooked, it was like love at first push! I had to have it! I loved the colors that it came in, the ease of pushing the stroller and the fact that the system, The Orbit Baby Travel System G2, consisted of the Orbit Baby Infant Car Set, Car Seat Base and the Stroller Base. This stroller got me through my son’s first year of life without having to buy a second stroller/car seat system.

What I loved most about the travel system G2 was the fact that it allowed me to easily take my son in and out of the car thanks to its 360-degree rotating base. Yes, the car seat swivels and allows you to easily take your baby in and out of the seat by a simple squeeze of the side leaver! It is also a comfortable ride for your precious cargo as it comes equipped with OrbitBaby’s Quadshock Suspension system.

Some of my other fav features are the removable Cargo Pod diaper bag (super stylish, I get tons of compliments on it!), built in cup holder and key tray and the UV sunshade with the Paparazzi Shield extension. I was so in love with this Paparazzi Shield, especially since Jordan was born during the summer and the shield worked wonders for keeping the sun out of his eyes while he was napping.

Fast-forward to my son’s 1^st birthday and it was time to buy him a toddler car seat. We of course landed on the Orbit Baby Toddler Car Seat G2 and Stroller Seat G2. It’s worth noting that you could use the Orbit Baby Toddler Car Seat G2 as your stroller seat, however, the toddler car seat was a bit heavy for my personal liking so we opted to purchase the separate stroller seat.

The Orbit Baby Stroller Seat G2, which is featured in the pics, has been a blast to have as well. Some of its cool features include the 3DRotation, which allows you to squeeze the side levers to rotate-and-recline in one fluid motion; forward-facing or parent-facing, upright or fully reclined. This seat can also rotate 360 degrees on the stroller frame as was done with his infant seat.

As a new mom, I also love that the Stroller Seat G2 includes a snack tray and lid and are food-safe and shaped to hold sippy-cups with handles. My son totally looks forward to grabbing some of his snacks out of the tray while we are out and about. What’s also cool is the fact that the stroller has a one-hand adjustable footrest that lengthens as your child grows. Now for me, that’s a miracle, as Jordan is already above average in height for his age. Who wants their little munchkin’s legs dangling from their stroller seat?

I honestly could go on-and-on about the Orbit Baby brand. I have been so pleased with both of the systems. As one of the top high-end stroller systems on the market, I truly believe that the system has been worth every penny spent on it.

Some of our favorite celeb glamour moms also love Orbit Baby. Kim Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian, Jessica Alba and Beyonce have all been spotted with the Orbit Baby systems.

So there you have it! Orbit Baby is officially “BlackGlamourMom Approved.”

Orbit Baby can be purchased online by visiting OrbitBaby.com. The Orbit Baby G2 system retails for $940.00. The Stroller Seat G2 retails for $280.00 and the Orbit Baby Toddler Car Seat retails for $380.00.

Orbit Baby recently released the Orbit Baby G3 system, which we’re sure is just as fab and functional as the previous model.

So ladies, what do you think? Would you push the Orbit Baby?

Peace, Love, Heels & Strollers,
Michelle
