Joie car seat: product range
One of the most important duties of parents is to ensure the safety of the child, including when traveling by car. Every year thousands of young children are killed or injured in car accidents. Proper use of baby car seats helps children stay safe. But there are so many different restraints on the market that many parents get lost when choosing.
The type of chair depends on several factors, including the age, size and needs of your child. Joie car seats are among the top five most popular brands. We will talk about them in detail in our article.
Special features
Brand Joie - one of the most popular in the market of children's car seats. Its recognition is connected with the advantages of the produced restraints: they are durable and comfortable, lightweight, easily transferred from one car to another and provide parents with peace of mind, as you can be sure that the baby is safe.
Joie declares that his goal is to provide parents with maximum opportunities for making adjustments as their child grows. Some Joie models cover all age groups: 0+, 1 and 2/3. Joie armchairs are fitted using Isofix mounts or seat belts.
Kinds
Transcend
Well designed and comfortable chair designed for 1/2/3 groups. Installed using an Isofix system or a seat belt with an extra protective cushion. This is a fully adaptable chair for children from 9 months to 12 years, facing forward, with many safety features. The most remarkable feature is that the SnugShield pillow is used for the 1st group, and not the more familiar five-point harness.
The SnugSheild Pillow redirects the impact of the impact on the seat body, at the same time it reduces the pressure on the child's body, which increases the convenience and ease of use.
If your child does not like to be tied to a seat belt and is always bent in a chair, then a seat with a front pillow can be the way out of this situation.
In addition to a protective cushion, Transcend offers other unique features. For example, Guard Surround Safety is a panel for extra side protection. If necessary, they can be removed in the seat. Individual adjustment at each stage of development of your child is provided by head restraints, which can be installed in 11 positions and AutoAdjust “wings”, which are automatically adjusted to the height of the head restraint.
To increase comfort, the seat has three positions in depth. Plush dampers and fabric inserts contribute to good ventilation - this is a distinct plus in hot weather. The cover can be removed and washed if necessary.
Every stage
Can be drawn forward or backward. Fastened with a standard three-point belt. Multiple Guard Surround Safety panels available. It should be noted that this car seat is not compatible with the Isofix standard.
Since this chair will be with you, perhaps for 12 years, it is necessary that its design does not bother you during this time. Fortunately, the developers of Every Stage took this into account and created a timeless design that fits into the interior of any car. The chair has 10 reclining positions. Thick pads and durable soft fabric create enhanced comfort. Available in 6 colors.
This chair can also be used in the backward position until the child reaches 18 kg (about four years). Starting from 15 months, you can switch to the forward position. To do this, remove the chair and reinstall it in the forward position. This is a bit troublesome, but you may need to do it only once.
Trillo lx
This car seat with a high level of protection and comfort is intended for the age group of 3-12 years. There are multiple security panels and side protection. Isosafe connectors ensure that the seat is always in place. The height of the head restraint is adjusted with changes in the growth of small passengers (7 positions). Breathable fabrics, soft armrests, pillows made of foam polyurethane with a memory effect and a removable washable cover ensure a comfortable ride at any time of the year. There is a holder for glasses.
Trillo shield
Trillo Shield is a cozy car seat for children from 9 months to 12 years old (from 9 kg to 36 kg) facing forward. Trillo Isosafe connectors and Isofix mounts, which securely hold the seat in a safe position throughout the ride, are used for installation. Suitable for groups 1/2/3. For children of the 1st group, a protective cushion SnugSheild is used, and for category 2/3 - a three-point belt. Ultra-thick upholstery and soft armrests. There is a holder for cups.
Please note that installing this seat in the front seat is only possible with the airbag disabled.
Spin 360
Spin 360 - is one of the few swiveling car seats on the market, allowing you to first set it to the backward position, and then, when the time comes, turn it forward. What is great is that by placing the child in a chair or pulling it out, you can rotate the chair in all directions as you see fit. Rotate the chair by using the lever located in front of the seat. If the seat is securely mounted in the front or rear position, a click sounds.
The seat is not separated from the base, so it is impossible to remove the child from the car along with the seat. At the same time, however, it facilitates chair installation through two expandable Isofix slots.
The chair is intended for a group of 0 + / 1. Suitable for installation in the backward position for children from birth to 18 kg (4 years) or in the form facing forward for children from 9 kg to 18 kg (4 years). The chair has 10 reclining positions: 5 facing backwards and 5 facing forward.
The multi-position head restraint is adjusted simultaneously with the seat-belt system; as the baby grows and the height of the head restraint increases, reconfiguration of the belt is not required. In addition, the chair is equipped with a system of built-in side ventilation. Available in four colors.
Car seat with booster seat
Suitable for a group of 2/3 (up to about 12 years). Easily installed in the cabin with Isofix mounts. The chair is designed to be installed in the forward facing position and can be used from 4 years. Five-point tether can be replaced with a regular belt. The head restraint can occupy 11 positions.
But the most remarkable thing about this model is that the width of the side wings is tied to the height of the head restraint, and thus your child always remains completely protected.
Duallo
The Duallo model is currently available in only one color, but it is a gorgeous bright red color called salsa. All chair covers are made of breathable fabrics, which allows you to keep cool even on hot days. Covers can be removed and machine washed.
Reviews
Most buyers note that Joie car seats are comfortable and easy to install. They are not too heavy, fit well into the car and do not occupy more than one seat in the car. These are stylish and comfortable chairs, children are very easy to put inside and reach. Children willingly are in these chairs.
Crash tests showed that the seats withstand a frontal impact, equivalent to a frontal collision of vehicles moving at a speed of about 70 km per hour, and a side impact equivalent to a collision of vehicles moving at 50 km per hour.
Among the shortcomings, users note only that in some models it is not always convenient to fasten and unfasten the five-point straps.
