What it is

Orbit delivers form, function, and comfort with the deliciously designed G2 infant car seat. You can dock and rotate the sweet seat 360 degrees on any Orbit baby stroller and attach it easily into its circular car seat base from nearly any angle. The base can be installed in less than a minute with LATCH straps that tighten almost effortlessly.

The seat is well padded, and weather-shielding accessories, like a foot muff and rain cover, are included. (The generous sunshade with an option for head-to-toe coverage is cheekily called the "Paparazzi Shield.") The G2 comes in three sophisticated color combinations, and its plush cover is made from certified green fabrics – meaning there's no potentially harmful chemicals found in other car seats. The G2 is compatible with all Orbit Baby strollers and rockers, and there's even a kit to adjust the seat to fit preemies.

What to watch out for

This is one spendy car seat. The seat and base together will set you back $440, about three times what you'd pay for many other infant car seats. If you buy it as part of an Orbit travel system with the stroller, you'll need to shell out a whopping $940!

The interior width of the G2 is only 8.5 inches, making it narrower than many other models – something to keep in mind if your baby is on the big side or just prefers more wiggle room.


Editor's note: Orbit Baby recalled the base for these car seats in October 2013 due to a defective knob. Learn more.
