5.0 out of 5 stars Best seat on the market.,
This review is from: Orbit Baby Toddler Car Seat, Black (Baby Product)
I am thrilled with my Orbit Baby toddler car seat and want to put to rest some of the issues others have brought up. Our family has all the other Obit Baby products and with this final addition to the collection, I see all the usual thoughtfulness of design and attention to detail.
Our son is 14 months old, around 30" tall and 24 lbs and absolutely loves his new seat. We have installed it rear facing in the center seat (on the base) of our CRV. Though the seat is very tall, it allows for plenty of growth in the future and I can still see out the rear window just fine. Also, when installed on the base, our son gets a few extra inches of height and he loves to look out the window.
I also want to point out that the rear installation on the base makes use of the anti-rebound feature of the base which is RARELY found in any car seat on the market in the US, though very common in Europe. The base is braced against the rear seat-back and prevents the seat from tipping forward and smashing your kid into the seat back in the event of a crash. This also protects you child's legs and makes it even safer to keep them rear facing as long as possible. The only other way to get this kind of protection is to use a tether strap and an anchor in the floor of the car, which most cars do not have. Britax is the only other manufacturer to address this in rear facing situations. Kids can sit fine with their legs crossed; lots of safety experts have commented that rear facing as long as possible is the way to go.
There is no point in using the base (or any base) forward facing as it is very important to use the top tether to secure the seat tightly against the car's seat-back. I don't understand why people don't realize this when they purchase ANY seat, yet complain about the lack of forward facing/base coupling with the Orbit.
We do not use this car seat on the stroller chassis on a regular basis but have this wonderful feature specifically in mind for when we are traveling, which we do frequently. Getting through the airport was such a breeze. Just wheel right up to the plane's doors and then carry the seat on the plane and strap it in. I can't imagine trying to travel around a city and forgo using a car seat in taxi just because of the hassle and I'd hate using one of those car seat travel adapters where you push/pull your kid around about 5 inches off the ground, nasty! Almost all cars/taxis these days have the LATCH system so it takes about 30 seconds to get it in and out. This is what Orbit Baby had in mind, you obviously don't use it as your everyday stroller but as an bonus feature to the Obit list of features.
Getting the straps properly adjusted was a cinch, they are on the lowest setting and I have moved the crotch strap forward one. The gray head protection pillow also moved down to the lowest setting and fits our guy perfectly. Again, Orbit Baby has made this process very simple. All of the straps are neatly stored in the back side of the car seat, there is even a place for the sunshade and the manual as well as the extra installation straps for use without the base. I have no issue what so ever with the straps twisting. When I take my son out of the seat, we loosen the straps and then use the handy Velcro tabs to keep the straps out of the way. When I put him back in, the straps are out of the way and just waiting to be secured, piece of cake!
Can't wait for Obit to adjust their line for multi-kid families!
