Saw an Orbit Travel System in the wild today...

I was walking up the street in Seattle and saw a guy pushing a baby down the hill in an Orbit travel system stroller.

OMG, I really hope that's not how that baby rides in the car. He was in a giant puffy snow suit with only the chest clip buckled, and only around his waist. If the crotch strap was fastened I couldn't see it. The straps weren't over his shoulders at all; the whole thing was basically being used like a lap belt over the baby.

Granted, it was really chilly outside this morning up there and it's entirely possible that this was the only way he could get the straps buckled over the big puffy suit and maybe they just going for a stroll and not getting in the car. I didn't think it would be well received to accost him in the street as I passed by him. So I'm telling myself I have no evidence that he was actually riding in a car like that. But yikes! I really really hope someone who would spend that kind of money on a travel system would RTFM, although I do know from experience that the world doesn't work like that. Is there an Orbit Bubble out there?
