They had one in at BuyBuyBaby. And it is wayyyy cool. :thumbsup:

I was talking to one of the salespeople about Regents, Radians, boosters, etc. And then he said, "We just got the Orbit in... wanna see it?" I replied, "Oh, we don't have an infant." And he said, "But you love carseats - don't you want to see it?!?" "Sure!!!"

It's *nice*. Not $900 nice, though. :( And that's just the seat. The stroller and all the other stuff pushes it up to about $1300. :eek: But I really liked it.

Yeah, I had a customer yesterday asking me about the this system. I said "Do you really want to spend THAT much?" ....She was like, well I thought it would be *safer*.....

I was just at Buy Buy Baby, but they didn't have it then. :( I guess I will have to go back soon. :)

Did you see the Baby Planet strollers? I love them!

Which salesperson? I am a carseat freak too (shocker, right?) and always have fun talking to them about carseats. Most of the salespeople at BBB seem to have at least an adequate knowledge of carseats. :)

Is he the younger guy with the glasses and the reddish/blondish/light brown hair? Is he the one with the 1 y-year-old DD and 2-year-old DS? If so, I just have a REALLY LONG carseat conversation with him on Sunday! :)

LOL! I don't know about his kids... He's not "younger" - I'd say mid-40s at least? And he's got darker hair, I think?

It's cool b/c it's like someone cut an egg in half - the baby really is almost in a cocoon. But it doesn't justify $900... :eek: I think the SafeSeat is just as deep, just shaped differently and it doesn't have the cool metal ring on the bottom like the Orbit...

Hey, you forgot! It includes the stroller frame...

Making it like the Bugaboo.... :)

With the Bugaboo Snap and Go, you are paying $900 for a stroller frame and bassinet... (and seat).

And you still have to fork out the $$$ for the infant seat.

If you are looking for a "system" Think of the stroller frame as the majority of the cost, and you are comparable to the moms that use their Bugaboo frame with a Graco or Peg Perego.

Hope that helps! :)

The name just brings to mind the tacky gum commercials :p Not something I can associate with $900 (even for the life of my child considering there are other excellent options for a mere fraction of the cost) :whistle:
