Hello, I am reviving my old thread as finally got an Orbit stroller (managed to get a 2d hand one) and Toddler car seat which I am very satisfied of after two months of use. So far i think its the safest option to use in taxi, takes 3 good minutes to install, especially with baby in it. To whom may be interested, I just saw an Orbit travel system advertised on Dubizzle so wanted to update my post and give my positive feedback about it. <em>edited by Papaye on 01/03/2012</em>

Is Orbit the same as Teutonia? For some reason I think of the two together. If so there's one on Dubizzle right now.

Ah, I think I see what you mean. You need a travel system that can accommodate a car seat suitable for the next stage up and not just the first-stage capsule one, right? I got an email back from the lady who was selling one and she already sold it, sorry :(.

Hi Laurab85 In my opinion the Sit N Stroll is OK to use in taxi if you plan to go to a mall or any place with smooth flat ground. That is after you make sure that the rear facing installation is safe! It means that the seats of the taxi should not have any creases and to achieve a correct angle to install the seat properly, you need to use a small rolled towel under it. Otherwise you will notice once you check the installation that you can move the car seat side to side and forward backward more than 1 inch.Which is detailed in the user guide. It is not at all practical to use in the city with curbs all around or to the park, wheels are very small and no suspension at all.No sunshade unless you buy it extra for 120 aed . Your baby should be sitting in the car seat before you install it. It means you have to hold the baby s weight plus car seat weight while converting it from stroller to car seat. Doable though. But If you have backache this is not for you. There is also a problem when your baby fall asleep, the head tends to flip forward. Not to be used for long trip. I dont know if it happens with other car seats ( combi, orbit). I didnt use it forward facing so I cant tell if its better installation but the belt once fixed looks like to be at the level of my baby throat. Does not make sense....nor looks super safe.Maybe Ok once baby is older and belt is on arms level. I use it since short time and for me its just OK...not great. I dont have full peace of mind when using taxis with it, thats why im looking for better. Hope that helps, Papaye

Hello, Yes Dubaicat. I mean a car seat that can be used rear facing, and that can be used with a stroller on a daily basis. Most of travel system are outgrown once baby reaches weight limit ( 10 or 13kgs) or by height ( once baby s top of head reaches one inch from the top of the car seat). My baby outgrown my snugride 22 (part of my graco travel system) After that there is not so many options for car less people. Only Combi, Orbit, SIT N STROLL. Hence my post. Would also consider snugride 35 even though it will not last long. Sorry for the long answer but I wanted to clarify my post. Papaye

When you say a travel system, do you mean one of the stroller packages that you can use with a car seat?

A travel system for my toddler.... I am using taxis and want the best i can find for the safety of my child. I own a sit n stroll but not 100% satisfied with it. please ladies anybody selling a COMBI coccoro car seat and matching Flash stroller or Orbit Baby stroller G2 with car seat? I am willing to buy second hand, as first brand is not sold in Middle east ,second one is outrageously expensive and out of my budget! TIA Papaye
