Car Seats & Bases

Staying safe on the move

Whether you're a seasoned parent or a first-timer, it can be difficult to know how best to keep your little one safe on your journeys. At a time when convenience is important, our range of high-end car seats and bases meets rigorous standards so you don't have to worry about any-thing other than getting from A to B. Let's explore the range, discovering the right car seat for newborns and toddlers, including how to put together the perfect travel system.

Remember, according to UK law, children must use a car seat in most circumstances until they are 135cm tall or 12 years old. Find out more about the specific rules and regulations that must be met on the UK government site.

Baby car seats

For the newest additions to the family, it's extra important to make sure that they're sup-ported in all the right ways as they join the daily adventures. For 0-12 months, carriers like the i-Snug are expertly designed with babies' well-being in mind, including features such as:

• Patented infant pillows for a snug fit
• Curved base for easy rocking
• Adjustable headrest for comfort as they grow
• Machine washable covers and inserts

We know you'll be spending a lot of time carrying the baby and moving the carrier around, so making that as easy as possible is a high priority. With features like an adjustable handle, you can easily carry this seat whenever you need to. The i-Snug is also super light at just 3.35kg, which means a lot less strain when carrying it and it's easier to manoeuvre into position, even with a baby strapped in.

Car seats for toddlers

As your little one grows and can start to face forward in their car seat (around 15 months old), you need a car seat that can keep them cushioned and secure while they become more ac-tive. Adjustable car seats like the Joie Every Stage models are designed to grow with your child, right up to 12 years old, so you can use this until they outgrow the need for one entirely. These belted car seats have a dual locking system to keep them securely in place, and a five-point harness that ensures comfort and safety.

Is an ISOFIX or belted car seat better?

When choosing car seats, you have the choice between an ISOFIX base or belted style. ISO-FIX is an internationally standardised fitting for child car seats, however, not every car is compatible with the mechanism. This means which type you choose will depend on whether or not your current vehicle allows ISOFIX to be used. There is no need to worry if your car is not ISOFIX compatible as belted car seats are held to the same regulatory standards and designed to be fully secure and safe using the seat belt. They’re typically a little better for those on a budget too.

Complete your travel system

Simplify your every day activities by using the Joie travel systems, which indicate compatible products. Bases like the i-Base Advanced ISOFIX are compatible with various car seats and Joie pushchairs, so you can effortlessly connect your pieces without disturbing the little one. Build a travel system perfectly matched for your family's needs for years to come with the entire Joie collection.
