Orbit Toddler Car Seat - Black
Product Description
Orbit's Toddler Car Seat is a revolutionary upgrade for your Orbit Infant System. Dock it onto either the Orbit Base or Stroller for unprecedented convenience and flexibility. No other convertible car seat can match the Toddler Car Seat's fully integrated design. You can be proud to show off this sleek car seat without dealing with dangling straps and belts.
Unlike most convertible car seats, Orbit's comes with a UV Sunshade that easily snaps in. Simply pull the premium die-cast levers to securely rotate or unlock the Toddler Car Seat. Unique rear panel safely and stylishly keeps the belts, tethers and Sunshade out of your way. A combination of plush micro-fiber and ventilated fabrics keep your toddler comfortable.
Color coded seat belt clamps make Rear- and Forward-Facing installations simple. 360 degree rotation on the Stroller SmartHub allows your toddler to sit rear, forward or sideways facing. For a super stable installation without the Base (Forward-Facing or optional Rear-Facing), the included Braces snap into the sides of the Car Seat.

Customer Reviews
Sturdy system, depite few glitches
I'm overall really pleased with the orbit toddler system My child has grown with the entire Orbit line ... he started with infant carseat and stroller, and now is in the toddler carseat. We still use the carseat with the stroller, but also have the toddler stroller seat for more convenience.
The positives: The toddler carseat, when docked for rear facing, or when using the braces and latch belts for forward facing, is very very sturdy -- a lot sturdier than other systems I have tested. My son is comfortable and has no problem sleeping in it, and the upholstery is easy to remove and clean.
The drawbacks: If you need to put the toddler seat in forward facing, you do not need the base, in which case you need some sort of hook to attach the anchor down in the back behind the seat. I have an old Honda Civic that doesn't have a latch system or hook. So while the shoulder/lap seatbelt anchor the toddler seat against the chair, I worry that if I am rear-ended in an accident, the carseat would move forward too much because I don't have any place to anchor the seat down in the back. So for now, in this car, we have no choice but to place our son sitting only in a rear-facing position where we use the base. In a small car like a Civic, having the seat in a rear facing position can make it difficult to see out the back.
Which brings me to the next drawback ... in the rear facing position in my old Civic, I can't use the sun shade because it would block my view while driving. This isn't normally a big deal, but I did have to buy one of those mesh window shades -- after a super hot day and long drive when I realized my son got sunburned through the window because I didn't have the carseat shade up.
All of the above drawbacks are not a problem in our other car, which is bigger, has the latch system/hook system, and is big enough to see over the carseat while driving. It's just when the seat is installed in my Civic (that doesn't have a latch system) that it's a problem.
Finally, I agree with the earlier review that the seatbelts do get tangled, which seems to bother my husband a lot when he's trying to buckle our son in. I generally don't have a problem untwisting the belts.
I do take my son in and out of the car in the toddler car seat and dock it on the stroller. It's admittedly heavy to lift in and out of the car with him in it, but sometimes it's just easier to move him while he's already strapped in than to unbuckle him and put him into some other stroller or backpack. So, I'm really happy about it still working with the stroller.
