Key Features

Certifications

  • OEKO-TEX Certified

    Certified by OEKO-TEX (Standard 100)

    OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 certifies that every component of a textile item has been lab-tested and found free of harmful substances above set limits.

    What it checks

    • Testing of yarn, fabric, buttons, and other accessories against a list of over 1,000 regulated substances
    • Stricter chemical limits for products with more intensive skin contact, including a dedicated infant/toddler product class
    • Compliance with chemical regulations such as REACH, CPSIA, and the ECHA-SVHC candidate list
    • Annual review of substance limit values and one-year validity per certificate

    What it does not cover It tests for chemical residues only and does not certify general product safety features like choking hazards, flammability, or mechanical construction.

    This certification is held by the brand or manufacturer, not by Birch. We show it because the brand states it for this product. Summarised from the certifying body's own page.

CURATEIQ

TrustScore breakdown

89 /100

We take what's most important for a product to determine the TrustScore. Here's our research:

Crash Protection Compliance 92

The car seats are stated to pass FMVSS 302 and FMVSS 213, and the sibling G5 infant seat earned a 'Better' crash-protection rating from independent testers. No 213a/213b timeline ahead of the December 2026 deadline is published for this seat.

Safety Standard Compliance 92

The G5+ passes FMVSS 302 and FMVSS 213 and carries the Baby Safety Alliance (JPMA) Verified Seal, which adds independent annual retesting against ASTM standards, federal and state law, and chemical limits for lead, phthalates and flame retardants.

Fit Range & Expiration 84

We found only a stated 7-year expiration period for Orbit Baby car seats; rear-facing weight/height limits and a shell-manufacture date are not described in the available product material.

Flame-Retardant & PFAS Chemistry 84

Fabrics are claimed OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified, which screens for pesticides, toxic chemicals and dyes, but no PFAS-specific declaration or test method is given. The brand is named, without a brand-specific result, in a corpus where most tested seats contained halogenated flame retardants.

Installation Usability 84

Independent testers found carrier-only belt installation difficult because the shell is too large for most seat belts to route correctly, and noted the StrongArm tensioner needs roughly ten turns per install, with no recline adjustment and a short crotch buckle flagged as additional install-usability drawbacks.

Recall History 92

No recall of this product appears in the CPSC recall database (10,053 records, 1973-2026). Orbit Baby's record holds two voluntary car seat base recalls: the 2013 G2 base, whose StrongArm knob could detach or spin without tightening, and a 2017 G3 base labeling issue in Canada, both remedied with free repair kits and no injuries reported. Neither covers the G5+ Toddler Car Seat.

Textile & Foam Chemistry 84

The car seat fabrics are claimed as OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified and materials are safe and non-toxic, but no certificate number, lab name or test method is given. The brand also appears, without a stated brand-specific result, in a corpus where 73% of tested seats contained hazardous flame retardants.

Certification Credibility 92

The finished car seat carries a named Baby Safety Alliance (JPMA) certification with independent lab sample testing described, plus Prop 65 production testing and OEKO-TEX Standard 100 fabric testing, all asserted for the finished product; the OEKO-TEX claim has no certificate number published.

Transparency & Support 91

The car seat is covered by a concrete 2-year warranty against manufacturing defects, with a stated claims process via serial number and proof of purchase, though materials disclosure is limited to general safe/non-toxic language rather than a full components list.

Customer Stories

Sentiment Summary

Customers frequently praise the 360-degree rotation feature, saying it makes getting toddlers in and out of the car much easier.
Many reviewers describe the seat as comfortable and roomy for their toddlers, with several noting their child seems happy or relaxed in it.
Customers mention that the magnetic buckle holders make it easier to get a child in and out without fighting with loose straps.
Reviewers often highlight the convenience of docking the toddler seat onto the same stroller or base used for the infant seat.
A few customers wish the seat had a recline feature, noting their toddler's head falls forward when sleeping upright.
Some reviewers feel the included sunshade feels flimsy given the seat's price.
A couple of customers mention the toddler seat wiggles slightly when docked on the car seat base, unlike their experience with the infant seat.
Several customers feel the seat is a worthwhile investment despite its high price, describing it as superior in quality to other brands they tried.

I absolutely love that this can be used as a rotating seat just like the infant car seat. And the ability to add it to the stroller has made flying with a car seat sooooooo easy. I recommend this toddler car seat to everyone. 10/10

The only minor thing I’d change would be that the G5 toddler seat needs a recline feature possibly in the next model. I noticed when my son falls asleep (2 year old) his head tends to fall forward due to him sitting straight up, if I could lean it a bit especially while he’s attached to the stroller that would be awesome! Other than that it’s all around very convenient with the immense amount of attachments and the fact it’s a seat I’ll be able to use long term, I started with the G5 infant seat/stroller/bassinet combo when we first found out and I’ve been extremely happy thus far! It was great being able to just buy a new seat without having to get a whole new stroller base! Well worth the investment.
Anthony T.
We got this car seat for our fourth child. So I’m pretty aware of what’s out there and this is by far the best one. The size is great I feel like my baby is protected and comfortable. Also it’s really nice and practical. We had her facing rear and the convenience of being able to rotate her was amazing.
