The G5+ Merino Wool Toddler Car Seat rotates toward the car door to make loading easier, then converts from rear-facing to forward-facing as a child grows, with a rear-facing range of 15 to 35 lb and a forward-facing range of 25 to 65 lb, up to 53 inches tall. It docks onto G5 and X5 strollers (and also fits G2 and G3 strollers) for car-to-stroller transitions, and includes a cup holder, head support insert, sun canopy, and side impact braces in the box.

The seat is upholstered in a merino wool blend (65% merino wool, 35% polyester) that is OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified and meets flammability standards through the fiber's own properties rather than added flame-retardant chemicals; independent testing found no flame-retardant chemicals in the fabric. The deep, contoured seat includes EPP foam zones, a durable 5-point harness, and magnetic buckle holders that keep the harness clear while a child climbs in. The fabric cover is machine washable and easy to remove for cleaning, and a sleek back panel stores dangling harness straps when the seat is not in use. The seat passes FMVSS 302 and FMVSS 213 safety standards, is LATCH compatible, and is certified for aircraft use without the base when used with seat belts and side impact braces. It carries a 2-year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship.

The seat is on the heavier side, which some find makes it more effort to carry or maneuver in and out of a car, particularly with a child already seated.

First, I’m 100% glad I chose the orbit baby system. We have the G5 stroller jogging stroller the stroller seat, the G5 infant carrier, and now this toddler seat as well as the base. First off, I learned later that this cannot be used for facing with the base and instead needs side rails. I do like how upright the seat is for our toddler, but was hoping to be able to swivel it around the front as she got older. I also wish it had strong magnets like the infant carrier for the seat buckles but instead has sort of pockets to just aren’t as fast or intuitive to use. The seat itself on a stroller frame looks a bit odd and bulky, and since the sunshade is fixed, it doesn’t do all that much for the sun like the infant carrier or stroller seat. I love that there’s a cupholder, however our toddler has found that if she spins it around it on hooks and so it’s often coming off, which can be a bit more troublesome if she’s in the stroller frame and will randomly drop the cupholder as we’re walking. At the end of the day while it’s Harley’s favorite product in the orbit, baby Line, it’s still worth having.

I did have an issue with the incline of the seat . It was an uncomfortable seating for my kid especially when he fell asleep.
