oooooo i just had to tell someone my orbit has arrived, have not pushed it out yet but first impressions, really lovely, lovely colour, brown with either a pink liner or beige liner, so one in the wash one on 
huge seat my dd4 looks lost, huge hood and pull out visor, was very easy to unfold and put seat on and unfold seat, very easy to fold seat back down and then fold took less than a minute, you can have a one or two piece fold which will be great if i was forced to fold for the bus, shopping basket great and i could leave my bits in the bag if i had to fold as it would not fall out, not light but ok to carry have had heavier, will have to go for a pointless walk later to try out pushabilty but if this is great, i could be cured of my pram problem, my xari for walks, orbit for walks/ days out, public transport and the vista [i would like] for big shop. and that would be it, other than of course my wagons and all parent facing which dd seems to prefer [she talks when pf but is silent when ff]

dd4 is 2 years and 10 months [i prefer to say 2 1/2 but i have realised she will be 3 in 2 months oh she is growing up to fast] the seat is huge lots of height, it pushes like a dream, i was even able to push one handed which i can never do with a two handled pushchair, some of the paths slop down alot, i bet you can not wait to try yours, i would be checking the tracking every hour to see where it was, i love it and it is so different, well until they sell them over here next year. i did not think i would use the bag underneath but i did today put some shopping in it, it was so easy to get to, open pop carrier bag in and slide back in. [ i waited till outside as thought it would be difficult]
a bonus about the second box what colour have you got
i sooo wanted one of these when i had dd2 last year. I could not find anyone who would ship here at a reasonable price.
very 
what colour is the main pushchair, watermelon sounds lovely, i am so excited for you, i love new shiny pushchairs
i don't buy new very often, most of my pushchairs have been 2nd hand i have had so many 
people just say now 'another new one' and smile. i was really good with my first only had 2 yes 2 a pram and a buggy, then when i had dd2 i had bought 2 second hand before i had her and it went from there, spiralled out of control when i need a double when ds came along

i can not see why it would invalidate your insurance on your car, it's not effecting your car, its a car seat!!!!, i would use it happily as it has past testing to a high standard, just not our standard, but then your pushchair or mine will not have been tested to uk standards either. Alot of car seats in peoples cars are ill fitted and would not be safe in an accident so just make sure its fitted correctly but that would be the same with any carseat, i am sure it would be fine and safe and to tell you the truth, it would never have crossed my mine it would'nt be ok. yes i noticed the shipping costs were high, but i may still get from there as i can use paypal, have to go now, going away for a few days visiting family [my mum] on the way home i am stopping off at kiddicare i will be like a kid in a sweet shop but only to look of course
my mum knows i have alot of pushchairs but she's never at mine to moan at me, she lives to far away so i just have a really nice one out for her to push when she visits and that keeps her happy , my dad just rolls his eyes but never says anything [he's bought me 2 over the years]
