We now have two strollers:
The Bugaboo Cameleon bought in 06 and the BabyOrbit 07. I wanted to buy the Orbit last year but it was not available at the time + there were no reviews in comparison to all that's been written about the Bugaboo so we coughed up the coinage and bought a Cameleon. We received the BabyOrbit 2 months ago and here is the difference for those who wonder about the two strollers.
Right out of the box the Orbit was dead easy because it was already pre assembled-no tools- no watching a DVD or reading assembly instructions.Things we were unsure of were well laid out in the photo handbook that neatly zips away in the baby seat. We had to assemble things with the Bug and the line diagrams were a bit harder to read.

Impressions:
Excitedly, I took Maya out today for a 20 min walk just to try out the Orbit and compare specs to our Bugaboo Cameleon that is larger in fold mode going in/out of our trunk. Shannon said naturally without a... Read more

Like most others, I did a whole lot of research before purchasing this stroller. Our baby is 8 months old now, and here is our review thus far:

PROS:
1. One-hand folding of the stroller - super fast, and easy. This was one of the main reasons I bought the Orbit, since before becoming a mother, I used to dread waiting for a car space that was occupied by someone trying to put their baby in the car!

2. Safety - the infant car seat is by far one of the safest around, as most safety inspectors will attest to. I feel a lot better knowing that my precious cargo is secure. The only thing is that your baby may be craning to see get a better view of what is outside the egg-shell shape of the car seat.

3. Rotating base - this is great for use in larger restaurants and just to provide your bub a change of scenery once in a while. Not to mention that it's helpful to be able to use the same base between stroller and car (but I figure that's a given)... Read more

If you don't want to read the rest of the review, here are three huge benefits of the Orbit Baby stroller/seat system that may not be very obvious just by looking at it: base installation, one-hand folding and the locking mechanism.

1. Base installation. It's the easiest, simplest, safest base installation I have seen. You can install it with the seat belt or with the LATCH system, but in either case you don't have to stand on the base or pull and tug on belts like a mad man. All you have to do is turn a knob a few times and that's it. Even the wimpiest guy (myself included) can do it right the first time. The person at the hospital checking the installation commented that he's never seen an Orbit installed improperly. The best thing though is that it fits in my BMW convertible so I don't have to turn it in an exchange it for a minivan.

2. One hand stroller folding. This really is a one hand folding mechanism. One flick of the wrist and the clever... Read more
