  • Design with David Netto: Orbit Car Seat

    If you've ever wondered how they make orthopedic shoes cool, look at Hush Puppies. If you've ever wondered how they make a child's car seat cool, look at this one by Orbit ($899). It's a whole system that comes complete with a stroller (the seat comes out of the submarine airlock-style base and plugs in to the equally stylish wheel carriage), which IS a great idea, but it's the seat I love. There are many cool strollers out there, but this is the iPhone of car seats. I've met the people who make it and they are very nice Northern California-style low-key tech geniuses, young parents who were fed up with the options and the commitment of this particular and necessary item (you thought baby FURNITURE was bad?) to the lowest possible taste level. For me, this product is iconic.


  • Orbitz System - a High Performance Hybrid

    This is the most amazing system I've ever seen.  It takes your standard infant seat/stroller combination and blows it out of the water.  It all begins with the stability base, which lets you lock the car seat into the stroller or vehicle from virtually any angle.  The 360 degree turning radius of the base means that baby can face forward or back, or even sideways, if you desire. The seat installs quickly and quietly with just one turn - no more waking baby when you move from the car.  There is a toddler seat option in the works, and the stroller comes with its own matching diaper bag and extensive sunshade. There is also a bassinet that can be added on.   It is lightweight,

    As seen in Fit Pregnancy, Us Weekly, and Child magazines, and owned by Gwen Stefani and Heidi Klum, this high stylin stroller will turn head everywhere you go. 

    It's pricy at $900, but if you really think about what you'd spend on a separate stroller, car seat and toddler seat, this system is a great deal.  You'll never rneed to purchase another stroller or car seat.
