Does anyone have an orbit stroller? Do you like it? We currently have a BOB and city select. I love the skateboard attachment the orbit has for toddlers.

Loved it when LO was an infant. Not so much that he's a toddler (aka I don't like the toddler seat but I love the infant seat).
-
I wanted to get one for DD, but decided I didn't like it after I took it for a test run. If you have a buy buy baby close by, I would go and test it out!
-
I really thought I would love the Orbit but when I test drove it I wasn't impressed. Because of the separate handles it's really hard to steer one handed and that was a deal breaker for me.

@littlek: we have the UBV and the skateboard attachment for older ones. My LO loves to ride on the "scooter". So that may be another option
-
We have the ride along attachment for the UBV!

@sandy: @blackbird: I actually struggled with the UBV. I couldn't close it. LOL
-
I know a few friends that own it. I've used it a few times and I'm not a fan of this stroller. The basket is too small/ weird, it didn't handle that well on some grass/ mulch, and it is overpriced.
Edit- I'm not a fan of the UBV (I heard it is awful as a double) but I do love our cruz!
-
@littlek: we had the hardest time learning to close the UBV!!! It was embarrassing how many times the sales lady had to show us. But once you get the feel of the exact right way to flip your wrist it's easy!!
-
@littlek: I practiced in our garage and was able to get it pretty easily after a few times. I think there's too much pressure in a store or in public
-
Have it and like it for our first child. We used the car seat and now we are using the toddler seat. However, as much as my husband wants to get the Helix extension for our second child in June, I do not as I fear it will be too bulky. I'd be happy with just a side by side double stroller.
-
@Raindrop: Just curious, what don't you like about the toddler seat? My LO is almost 2 and he is not a fan of sitting in his stroller anymore.
-
@littlek: The first (well, only) time I closed our UBV I had to have another mom take me through it step by step. But we live in a city and just wheel it into our parking garage and leave it open all the time, and have a snap and go for the times we drive somewhere. If I had to open and close it every day I am not sure I would have gone with the UBV.

@littlek: We have the toddler car seat and never got around to buying the toddler stroller seat. My husband loves attaching the toddler car seat to the stroller but it's soooooo bulky ... like embarrassing bulky. Other than that it it's great. When LO falls asleep in the car we can just transfer him from the car to the stroller with easy which we do sometimes. But if he is awake he's walking or in another stroller.
