Design, engineering, ethnography and baby strollers have finally come together. My friend, Sachin, gets the credit for turning me on to the Orbit Baby. The system, yep it is a system, was designed by two dads that went to Stanford, worked at Ideo together and then left to start Orbit Baby. The long and the short of it is the Orbit Baby was designed to fix the pain points of strollers, car seats and bassinets.

Some high high points for me are:
- Easily being able to put the car seat in the base because the circular base allows you to put the seat in naturally then turn it to the proper direction. (see video below)
- One hand to break it down. I was in the parking lot at the grocery store yesterday and saw a mom using both hands and her foot to break down her big nice looking stroller. Then I watched her wrestle it into her car. The Orbit is light and breaks down with one hand (watch video)
- 2 year warranty.

Some people are scared off by the cost but if you are looking at the Bugaboo,Bob or other strollers at that level the Orbit is in the that price range. Hint add up the cost of all the pieces you have to buy.

Here is the video (not to keen on the music)


If you get a chance to play with the Orbit Baby in a store I highly recommend it.
