   After much anticipation in being announced and shown around baby trade shows, the second generation Orbit Baby stroller product is released to the market. This time, a third colour is introduced - Ruby/Red. 

The modern look that sets is apart from other strollers is maintained. There are definitely much improved features and still missing features that could have been incorporated at this time. 

It has 360 degree rotation with four locking positions that can face front, rear or either sides. No need for a clunky parasol. Just face your child completely away from the Sun. 

Loaded with a better suspension on all four sides which the company calls "QuadShock". Personally, it still has a firm suspension which I compare to a sports car versus a Bugaboo Cameleon which has a more supple and forgiving suspension comparable to a luxury vehicle. 

Gone are the air-filled rear tires. Instead we have some low-profile foam-filled tires that does contribute to a firm ride. The stroller handles best on even surfaces. 

The one-handed folding of the stroller is something that needs to be questioned and examined a bit more because there actually is a plastic lock on the same bar that rotates. This obviously prevents the stroller from accidentally collapsing on itself. With that said, you will not be able to conveniently apply the one handed folding of the stroller especially if you have in tow on the other hand the infant seat and your infant in it. 

The cargo pod is somewhat a questionable feature which the manufacturer markets to be a portable carry bag rather than a wide-mouth basket like other baskets features. Personally, I don't care about the cargo pod. By bringing along your baby, you definitely have a dedicated baby bag or baby backpack to hold all your stuff. The cargo pod is too small to take the place of a baby bag. It's also kept on the closed position which only is convenient when carrying the stroller frame in closed position so the items don't fall off. How many times will you be carrying the stroller around rather than using it as a stroller? Frankly, I would have wished they supplied a bottom basket so I can reach and dump stuff in there as I stroll along with my baby without having to reach down to open the bag and then close back up and return the bag. It's very inconvenient. If Orbit has a major flaw, this would be it. No matter how much marketing of the cargo pod they do, parents know a basket would be better because everyone else is carrying a separate closed bag. 

- Non customisable fabric option similar to other strollers. 

There really isn't one stroller that will provide all the functions that a parent will want. You will have to chose the closest one that fits your lifestyle. 

Overall, the Orbit Baby G2 is another well-crafted stroller with a hefty price tag to go along with it. It doesn't feel and look flimsy. It is simple and well-designed. It is like the Apple product of strollers as the iPod is to music players. And like any Apple-designed product, there are short-comings as well as competitor products with a lot more features and a cheaper price tag. But only a few will come close to the simplicity and design of the stroller.
