For as long as I can remember we have been hoping, wishing, praying for Orbit to add a double stroller to their collection and finally they have! Due in Spring 2012 Orbit will have their new addition to the all familiar 360 rotating Travel System and Stroller Collection!
Here’s what we know now and more will come next week after we get to play around with it at the ABC show in Louisville Kentucky!
Why we love it so far!
From what I can see it looks like the Orbit Baby Inline/Tandem Double Stroller fills a gap in the Luxury Stroller Category and so far it seems very versatile, surprisingly compact when folded and stowed and 24 Quad Shock and 6 wheels must make it drive like a dream! Also, if you already own a G2 model there is a converter kit that can be purchased to simply make your G2 a double stroller!
We’re not certain on pricing yet but I assume all pieces could be purchased separately with the converter kit if you already have the G2 model which was a great idea for them!

So today is the day that BOB officially allows their dealers and bloggers to run the gambit with reviews opinions, product demo videos and of course start selling the new 2011 BOB Revolution line up.  Needless to say we are excited and impressed! How could you not love the BOB Revolution?

I have to admit that I’ve always thought of the BOB Revolution stroller like my favorite pair of shoes.  Innovative design, always performs, superb quality and always reliable.  You know,  the kind you never want to give a away, donate or sell… you just hang on to them forever.  Well, I view my BOB stroller similiarly.  It just becomes a favorite.

If you’re not familiar with the brand, BOB formed in 1994 as one of the only manufacturers of single wheeled bicycle cargo trailers and has now become one of the most popular brand of strollers in the all terrain, jogging stroller category.

So what’s all the hype about?  The guys at BOB strollers have been working hard keeping this all under wraps but it’s finally here!  BOB has made some amazing improvements for their new Revolution model and they have really done great job.

We are bursting with joy about our new luxury stroller line iCandy!  We have already sold a couple out of our Tampa showroom and we love showing the iCandy off to local customers.

If you have never heard of iCandy, it is a family owned business based in Britain who’s been in business for 80 years and they are masters in providing child safety products. Combined with that mastery is Britain designers who are hell bent on making a fashion statement. If there were a designer name in strollers, iCandy would be at the top of the list.

Mom and dad, if you are looking for a quality stroller that focuses on safety, functionality, and easy maneuverability the iCandy strollers are for you.  We just hope you won’t mind making a fashion statement as well!  You have so many to choose from. There’s the iCandy Cherry, Apple, Peach, and Pear. All of which can covert from a single stroller to a double with a snap! iCandy is also known for its ability to fold easily with one hand. How cool is That!?!

We are getting a lot of questions about the soon to be released 2011 BOB Revolution.  As soon as we can we will answer all your questions and you will get a thorough review of the 2011 BOB Revolution just as soon as we can release it.  The launch date is scheduled for February.

They improved the seat back a bit over last year’s model by the addition of what is called a PE board that gives the seat back more support so the kids don’t slouch back into the seat as much. The PE board helps improve the overall comfort of the City Mini. The other minor change is a strap that when used moves the seat back forward into a more vertical position so older kids can sit more upright in the stroller. This strap is called, fittingly, the upright strap. Clever right?

Oh, and as mentioned before in our ABC show blog update, Baby Jogger added a new color, purple, to the 2011 City Mini line up.   We think the purple City Mini single will be available sometime in the Spring of 2011.  These improvements did bump up the price of the City Mini single $10 to $239.00.

Baby Jogger City Mini Single Red

- Baby Jogger introduces a new color for 2011, Purple!  It is going to be available on both the City Select where it is called “Amethyst” and on the City Mini where it is simply called, Purple.  It is areal deep kind of purple and my initial conversations with people have me believing this will be a love it or leave it type color addition.   What do you think about the purple? Is it gender neutral?

-  I had to swing by to see new phil&teds Sub 4 running stroller.  I can almost guarantee that you have never seen a running stroller like this.  Note my decision to use the term “running” instead of “jogging” to describe this phil&teds Sub 4.  The stroller is made for the serious runner.  It looks fast just sitting there on its big 20″ wheels that are stopped by, get this, twin disc brakes!  This stroller has disk brakes!  I still can’t get over that.  The Phil and Teds running stroller also features what they call a “motion control hub” that helps create a very stable ride regardless of the terrain and the dynamic frame flexing capability helps keep the wheels grounded over uneven ground.    While we don’t think this will hit every mainstream jogging mom’s trail, we think it may find a place among those seeking that something different for their run.

- Mountain Buggy has a cool new accessory for the “big brother” or “big sister”.  It is a “freerider” buggy board and scooter.  It attaches to your stroller like a traditional buggy board but then the child can gain a bit of independence and turn it in to his own scooter!  Pretty cool.   In buggy board mode, the child can hold on to the Freerider handlebar instead of the stroller handle bar which should make it more comfortable for both of you.  So it doesn’t compromise your own stride or comfort the Freerider can attach  over to one side of the stroller and away from the direct center.  And of course the big benefit of this is hours of endless fun scooting around the neighborhood!  Currently this only works with Mountain Buggy strollers but they are working on getting a model that is compatible with other strollers.

Those are a few of the new products that we saw coming out.  We will post more details as were learn them!   Let us hear your thoughts on the Baby Jogger Purple color!
