Frequently Asked Questions

What age can my child start using a front-facing car seat?
We recommend transitioning to forward-facing when your child is at least 2 years old, though the G5 Toddler Car Seat supports forward-facing use from 25 lbs (around 1 year old). Rear-facing remains safest for younger toddlers whenever possible.

Can these car seats rotate when installed forward-facing?
Yes! Both models rotate 360 degrees on the SmartHub® base, even when installed in the forward-facing position. That means easier ins and outs, especially in tight parking spots.

Are the seats FAA-approved for air travel?
Absolutely. Both the G5 Toddler Car Seat and the G5 Merino Wool Toddler Car Seat are certified for aircraft use – just make sure your flight allows it and bring your base for full functionality.

What makes merino wool better for kids?
Merino wool is nature’s performance fabric – it's hypoallergenic, breathable, and regulates body temperature better than synthetic materials. Plus, it’s naturally flame-resistant without needing chemical treatments.

Can I use these car seats with an Orbit Baby stroller?
Yes! Both models are designed to connect with all Orbit Baby strollers for a smooth transition from car to sidewalk.
