Stroller G2

Every time you think you’ve seen the latest the stroller industry has to offer, you discover something like the Stroller G2 and realize that there is always room for innovation.  The Stroller G2 by Orbit Baby is perhaps the most user-friendly design we’ve seen so far.  There appears to be no limit to what the Stroller G2 can do.

The unique aspect of Orbit Baby’s Stroller G2 is its 3DRotation™ capabilities, which allow the child seat to ergonomically rotate-and-recline in one fluid motion.  Your baby can now face you, away from you, to the side, lay flat, and recline all to your heart’s desire.

The other extraordinary feature for the mom or dad with their hands full is the one-handed folding design.  With a simple twist and lift motion, the Stroller G2 folds flat enough to store even in mini car trunks.  Although this is not the only stroller with one-handed folding, this is a particularly sleek implementation.

Orbit Baby has even incorporated an entire Stroller Travel System as an accompaniment to the G2.  The Car Seat Base installs in under 60 seconds thanks to its patented StrongArm™ mechanism which pulls the seatbelts tight for you, so you can quickly and securely install the car seat simply by turning a knob.  The baby seat detaches seamlessly from the stroller frame and can be mounted to the circular SmartHub™ of the Car Seat Base from any angle, making travel with an infant easier than ever.

Orbit Baby has created a remarkable product and you get what you pay for.  If you’ve got some extra cash to spring for the $750 Stroller G2 (excluding travel system), then the convenience and versatility of the design may be worth it.

Bumbleride Indie Twin 2010

Bumbleride offers a nice variety of stroller models and accessories.  The 2010 model of the Bumbleride Indie Twin is a perfect companion for parents managing two toddlers.  Unlike the stroller component of the Zigo, for instance, the two children have their own independent spaces with a separator in between.  The maneuverability seems top notch, especially with the pivoting front wheels which can be locked into a forward or backward facing position.  Besides the smooth maneuvering, the Bumbleride Indie Twin’s other features, like the adjustable handlebars and sun canopies, show that Bumbleride really takes interest in the needs of both parents and children.  The kids will be in the lap of luxury with the adjustable footrests and reclining seats, which not many dual strollers offer.  Another plus is that the Indie Twin is ideal for families who love to travel.  With two simple movements, the Bumbleride Indie Twin folds up to be surprisingly compact, making it possible to store in an overhead airplane compartment.  The Indie Twin is available in several cool colors like Lava, Seagrass, and Spice, and it comes standard with a cup holder, air pump and rain cover.  At $679.99 the Bumbleride Indie Twin is not a bad value, especially for the two-child family.

Graco Ipo

If you saw the Graco Ipo roll by you at the mall it would be easy to mistake this cool, European style stroller for a Maclaren or a Peg Perego.  Graco strollers are like Buicks; they may be comfortable and have a cup holder that can handle a Big Gulp but they are not exactly stylemobiles.  Along comes the Graco Ipo.  The Graco Ipo features the one hand fold of a Maclaren Quest, the upholstery styling of a Peg Perego Pliko P3 and the pricing of store brand diapers.  Which makes the Graco Ipo the perfect stroller under $100.

Beyond the Graco Ipo’s fashionable looks, the Graco Ipo has a list of features typically found on higher end strollers.  It has a compact one hand fold, storage basket, reclining seat, adjustable leg rest and it weighs 17 pounds.

The Graco Ipo has some drawbacks which include upholstery that is not removable (but neither is a Maclaren Quest’s unless you break out tools) and smallish hood (if this really bothers you or you live in the Sun Belt consider adding a canopy/sun shade extension available at most baby stores); however the pros of saving at least $150 over its competitors, the Maclaren Quest and Peg Perego P3, without sacrificing style outweigh the few cons.
