We have the infant seat, toddler convertible seat, bassinet, stroller base and sidekick. We absolutely love it. The rotation is amazing and makes things so easy. Even with the convertible seat it's easy. Great design, great for travel, great warranty and customer service. We are dedicated Orbit fans.
Love Orbit too! We have the frame, bassinet, infant car seat, stroller seat, toddler car seat, color pack, panniers and weather packs. i love the features, the push, the easy install of the base in the car and everything else about it. definitely worth it!
I had originally chosen the Orbit system but changed my mind and ended up getting a Chicco Keyfit with a Uppababy Vista. I thought the Orbit fold wasn't very good because you always have to take the seat off. The infant seat was also very heavy and the basket on the stroller stunk. I also wanted larger tires.
We were 2 under 2, now 3 under 3!
Team Green turned Team Pink with #1, Team Green turned Team Blue with #2, Team Green turned Team Pink again with #3
All carseats are pass/fail, but I remember reading some stuff that made me worry about them a few years ago. Honestly, I don't remember what.
My husband and I are expecting our first and bought the Orbit stroller/car seat after doing a ton of research. In 2009, the Orbit infant car seat didn't pass a Consumer Reports test and they identified a potential safety risk. This was fixed and the car seat has passed all Consumer Reports tests since 2010. Unless you are buying a 2009 version, you should be fine.

I think I read on Consumer Reports that they are not recommended, but we should really take their advice with a grain of salt
Comsumer reports "failed" them because in their own testing Consumer Reports failed to actually attach the base to anything. They crash tested the seat just sitting on the seat. They were sued by Orbit and obviously it was a mess for consumer reports. I would not only take what they say with a grain of salt, I would cover my ears.
Friend LOVED hers but only really used it with the infant car seat. I think she got the next seat for the stroller but it was too much of a pain and she switched to a Bob Jogging Stroller because wanted to do more off sidewalk walking.
It is absolutely worth the money (remember you're getting a car seat + a stroller)
It's easy to push and well made - Iam sure you'll love it like I do - Amazon has 110 reviews of it and amazon prints all reviews even if not good - That's why they're so reliable (they always have the best prices too)
