Orbiting into 2008. . . this is what innovation looks like!

The folks at Orbit have been extra busy this year, planning for tons of new releases.  Here at Let’s Go Strolling we love innovative new products and companies that constantly improve instead of resting on their laurels!  Go Orbit!

First up we have the new Orbit Toddler Carseat.  We can’t tell you how excited we are about this one.  Not only will it be the first convertible toddler carseat that easily snaps into a stroller for maximum convenience and portability, but it is also extra tall for all those big kids that might someday outgrow the Orbit Stroller Seat.  Now you can have all the conveniences of travelling with an infant, when you are travelling with your toddler.  Well okay, some of the conveniences. . .your toddler will still drive you mad walking up and down the airplane the whole flight!

Then we have the Orbit Stroller System Travel Bag.  We have to say that this one is about time.  When you invest over $1000 in a gorgeous new stroller that makes travelling easy, you want to be able to protect it along the way.  The Orbit Stroller System Travel bag will hold either the bassinet cradle OR the toddler stroller seat so no matter where you are in your family cycle, the Orbit Stroller Travel Bag will get your stroller there safely!

Also up, hopefully late February is the Organic Bassinet Cradle.  Not only is this version of Orbit’s unique bassinet/cradle great for the environment and a chemical-free resting place for your newborn baby, but it is a super cute flecked cafe au lait colored color.  We can’t wait to see the final version on this beauty.  Too bad my baby is coming in January and not March!

Lastly, on the horizon (hopefully not too far off), Orbit demoed some fabulous pannier bags at the September 2007 ABC show.  Although these were still prototypes, we loved how much extra storage they added onto your Orbit and easily folded away when not needed or for ultra thin store aisles.  As a truly heavy packer, I hope these fabulous accessories are available soon.  You never know when the shopping urge might hit you when you are out and about!
