Meet Helix* Orbit Baby’s New Double Stroller

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!
