Both Britax and Orbit infant systems encourage you to leave the baby in the car seat while in the stroller, which doesn’t lay them flat. The Orbit infant car seat only goes to 22lbs, and I can tell you there are many babies who grow out of that in the first year which is fine if you’re willing to buy a new car seat at that point but if you want to use it for the full first year you might want to consider something else. And the Orbit stroller isn’t a real stroller… and I’m not sure about a car-seat base that swivels out. To me… that seems like another moving part to malfunction.
The Britax stroller works for 55lbs which is better at least. It also lays back pretty far, which is much better for the baby’s breathing if you take them out of the car-seat to let them sleep there. The car seat goes to 30lbs, which is very good. Honestly, you seem to get more bang for your buck with the Britax system.
Personally, I like the Chicco travel system since the stroller lays fully back and the car seat is one of the highest rated for safety. But even the Chicco car seat only goes to 30lbs, so really I think the Britax is the better of the two you gave.
Do you mean travel system? I’ve actually never heard of Orbit, but Britax is a great brand and i highly recommend it!
