The Office's Dwight Schrute Crash "Tests" An Orbit Stroller

Chris Ford — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 06:52:00 GMT

Wondering what kind of stroller Dwight K. Schrute abused so unmercifully on tonight's episode of The Office? Well, for one it's not just a stroller, it's a total "Infant System." And it's actually a little cheaper than the $1,200 price tag that set him off on the show. At least the part he was running over with his car.

The Orbit Infant System is a modular stroller/car seat system, designed to adapt and grow as your baby grows. With the infant system (the part Dwight was "testing" on the show) you get an infant car seat, a base and a stroller, all for about $900.

The Orbit Bassinet and Cradle was also shown on the show (in the conference room while Dwight was in the parking lot running over the stroller with his car). The Bassinet attaches to the stroller, as well as a Rocker base that can swivel and lock, allowing your baby to rock either front to back or side to side. That part sells for around $280. And eventually as your children grow up, you can buy a regular stroller seat and a regular car seat from Orbit as well.

The Orbit is definitely one of the top stroller/car seat systems out there, and it was cool to see it featured so prominently on The Office tonight. And for $900 (minus the bassinet), it's still cheaper than Dwight's bomb shelter.

Check out the Orbit Infant System at OrbitBaby.com (and find a local or online retailer here).

Or check out the official web site for The Office at NBC.com (and don't miss Dwight's official blog, Schrute-Space).

Hand Made: Rock a Bye Dolly

Fond memories cropped up when I spotted this darling dolly cradle. Covering dolly with her pink blanket, singing to her, and watching in shock as my little brother snatched her and ripped her head off. To this day, the little bugger doesn't know where I buried his marble collection.

Have her rock dolly to sleep for $79.95 at D and Me Wood Toys.

Re-Set Your Re-Babe

Mir — Tue, 10 Jul 2007 13:31:00 GMT

Who amongst us hasn't sat beside a bassinet or cradle, falling asleep ourselves, and yet rocking, rocking, rocking to try to settle the baby? Behold a slightly more comfortable solution: The re-set from Berlin designers collective e27! The re-set includes the re-babe (a rocking cradle) and the matching, attachable re-tire rocker. Bind them together and baby rocks while you do. When baby grows bigger, the cradle converts to a rocking horse for years of play.

The re-set will run you €540 (About $736) at Tiny Dodo.

Zanzibar Rocking Cradle Ideal for Buggy Climates

Mir — Tue, 26 Jun 2007 20:03:00 GMT

I can't help it; although I do think the design of this cradle is very pretty, it's the mosquito netting that really puts it over the top for me. Honestly, if you have $627 to spend on a cradle, are you going to plunk it down in the wilderness where the mosquitoes are so fierce that baby needs her own cocoon of bug protection?

Available in four different finishes from Bratt Decor. Bug spray not included.
