Orbit Stroller vs. Teutonia T-Linx

kcarnovale

Anyone get one of these yet? I really need opinions! I want Orbit, but it is more expensive and it comes with less, but I love the 360 on it. T-Linx comes with more and you can customize it a little more, but no 360, not as light and I think harder to work with.

Please give me your thoughts!!

The Orbit is just too much for my budget and too limiting when it comes to infant seat, toddler seat, etc.

I know how you feel!  I went into the store to test drive the Orbit and I loved the 360, however after looking at it and at other strollers, it just didnt seem worth its price.  There were no adapters for other car seats, and the Orbit car seats were very pricy as well.  All in all,  the whole system would have ended up costing us well over $1500. We then noticed the UPPA baby Vista, which was so much lighter, came with the bassinet and the toddler seat, and you can also get adapters for different car seats (and not to mention cheaper).

But then we saw the Teutonia T-Linx...and I fell in love! It's a funky looking stroller and the system includes the infant car seat!  The only concerns that I have about the stroller is its weight and the tiny basket...I also wanted a tray, but I think you can get some generic accessories that will fit.

 If money was not a concern, I'd say go for the Orbit, the 360 will be useful and the fold is fantastic...but if you are looking for slightly cheaper systems...you should definetly consider the T-Linx or the UPPA baby vista!

Neither...I am going with the Baby Jogger City Select.  I love all the features and ways of use, adjustable handle bars since I am tall, large canopy, light weight, easy to fold, compact fold and most of all the ability to make it a double with the second seat.  I saw it yesterday and LOVE it! Plus it is much more cost effective.  I will use the Chicco Keyfit 30 infant seat with the adapter.

You should take a look at the Uppababy Vista. I believe its pretty similar to the Teutonia. It has an awesomely large basket, is a higher-end stroller (like Orbit), can put a car seat on it (but no 360 rotation), and comes with a bassinet.

We debated and debated over the Orbit.  We both LOVED it.  Although the price was a huge issue in the end my problem that led me to Baby Jogger City Mini with a Peg Perego infant seat was this: when using the Orbit system for a toddler you would have to remove the toddler seat to fold up the stroller each time.  Whereas with the City Mini all I will have to do is pull one strap and boom it is loadable into the car.  Also, with the Orbit it appears that you would have to either buy 2 toddler seats (one for the car and one for the stroller) or it would be a uber hassle to take LO out of the toddler seat on the stroller and then put the toddler seat in the car and then put LO in the seat and then break down the stroller to load. 

Either way, logistically speaking it made more sense for me to have something that would be easy to put together and take apart with minimum lifting of a toddler. 

As a side note, if the system were cheaper I would have gone Orbit for the infant portion and then switched to the City Mini but cost wise that didn't make much sense.

I have an orbit and love it! The way my kids are seated in my van the 360 makes it much easier. ( have put LO in it yet, but it was installed last week and we tested for a long time) The G2 infant system is $150 cheaper then the G1. Plus you could add a toddler seat from ebay, they go pretty cheap. We bought the bassinet for orbit off ebay for $72 with shipping from $280 new.
