As a trusted retailer of Joie car seats and travel systems, we at Kiddies Kingdom are passionate about sharing the benefits of these innovative solutions. The reason for this is that we promise to sell only the best travel options available, which prioritise safety, ease of use, versatility, and comfort. While we offer plenty of products that tick all of these boxes, in this article, we wanted to highlight how the latest Joie i-Size car seats match these criteria.
Keep reading if you want to learn how the iPivot, i-Irvana and Sprint models allow parents complete peace of mind through the years whilst travelling with growing children thanks to the innovative features available.
Introducing Joie’s Latest i-Size Car Seats
Joie Baby is a trusted manufacturer of reliable and safe accessories including everything from highchairs to travel cots. Possibly best known for their car seats, the company has won more than 200 awards for their travel systems including RedDot, Mother & Baby and German Design Awards.
While there are many car seats to shop from, three of the newest models quickly gaining popularity for Joie are the iPivot, i-Irvana, and Sprint models. Each of these seats has been designed to offer enhanced safety and versatile functionality, raising the bar for child travel comfort even higher. Each of these models are also intended to support the needs of growing children. This is an important factor to consider when buying a new car seat as it eliminates the need to keep spending out on new models once a child reaches a new growth phase. Instead, with each of the seats, adjustments can be made to offer a secure and compliant travel solution whilst children are growing.
We are proud to stock each of these seats at Kiddies Kingdom as we give each of them our stamp of approval. In the following sections, we’ve shared a detailed overview about each of these seats so that you can understand what makes these models a must-have.
Key Features and Benefits of the Joie i-Pivot Grow
First up, we have the Joie i-Pivot Grow, which is available in two colours on our website: Shale and Thunder. This seat offers complete support for newborns through to 10 years of age, meaning parents only need to spend once on buying a seat for almost all of their children’s car seat travel years. Not only is this length of service a unique feature for car seats, but the attention to detail for the support offered at each growth phase is what makes this model stand out.
For newborns and younger travellers, features such as the rear-facing functionality for up to 76 months, 360º seat rotation, and Simple Swivel™ turning activator make life easier for parents. Each of these features ensures little ones can travel safely from day one in a position that is suitable for offering the best support. Furthermore, the seat also includes a selection of additional features to allow adjustability as a child grows beyond needing to be rear-facing whilst travelling. These include the 5-position recline that is usable on the go both rearward and forward facing, the Grow-with-me infant inserts, which offer three levels of customisations for different growth phases and the One-hand, 14-position Grow Together™ headrest and harness system. Each of these features allows parents to maintain a consistent level of safety and support whilst children are growing by ensuring the seat is perfectly adjusted to a little one’s current weight and height.
Additional features available within this seat which offer enhanced usability include the following:
- The patented Tri-Protect™ headrest provides three layers of protection within the side wings to protect from impact and keep children’s heads safe whilst travelling.
- Considerations have also been made to the design of the seat frame to protect against impacts such as a collision. These features include the Guard Surround Safety™, the 5-point harness with shoulder and lower buckles and a reinforced steel shell.
- Comfy is ensured thanks to ventilation passages, cushioned inserts and adjustable features.
- The seat is also intended to be easy to use thanks to features such as the ISOFIX installation system, AutoAdjust™ side wings and one-handed adjustment options.
The seat is also R129 and i-Size certified to offer complete peace of mind.
Ensuring Safety and Comfort with the Joie i-Irvana
Another recent release from Joie designed to meet the needs of growing children is the i-Irvana. Not only is this seat suitable for use from 15 months to 12 years, but it also meets the highest ECE R129/03 and i-Size safety standards. This seat is also ideal for growing infants as it includes an impressive 15 positions via the GrowTogether™ headrest and harness, which ensures the perfect seat position can be achieved through any growth phase.
The Joie i-Irvana includes a combined seat and belted booster model, which makes it suitable for children as old as 12 years of age. This is combined with comfort considerations including the memory foam seat pad, ventilated back and side panels plus padded harness covers to further enhance comfort as children grow. Additional features of this seat include the following:
- One-hand installation and adjusting to ensure parents can easily fix the seat into position even when they have other things in their hands.
- Easy to install with ISOFIX connection points and top tether, which is compatible with most car models for easy fitting.
- Removable and machine-washable seat covers ensure that the seat’s condition can be easily maintained, as dirt can be removed in one wash.
- Sleek design, which is also streamlined and lightweight, makes it effortless to move between vehicles.
Joie Sprint: Versatile Protection for Your Little One
Finally, we have the Joie Sprint, which is a seat specially designed to support children during the first year of their life. This seat is suitable for use from birth to 12 months, which means it’s ideal to purchase as a starter seat. However, the difference between this and competitor products that cover the same time period is that this seat has a range of features intended to meet every growth phase during the first year of an infant’s life. This is unique as car seats often offer a one-size-fits-all solution for newborns through to one year of age. The features available in this seat, which meet the needs of little ones up to 12 months, are as follows:
- Fitting is available either via ISOFIX anchor points or when paired with the i-Base™ Encore and i-Base™ lx 2. Installation is also available without a vehicle belt as extra support, which meets the needs of growing newborns as it eliminates the chance of these supports interfering with their comfort.
- ECE R129/03 and i-Size certification highlights the suitable adjustment features to meet the needs of growing children during their youngest months.
- The seat also includes the Tri-Protect™ headrest which can be adjusted to be perfectly positioned for smaller babies. Additional features which also offer the same level of adjustability include the 3-point harness with shoulder and multi-position backrest.
- A removable body insert is also included, which can be used to pad out the seat for an ideal custom fit as children grow.
This seat also demonstrates attention to detail when it comes to extra care and attention that needs to be given to children below 12 months when they are travelling in a vehicle. Examples of this include the UPF 50+ sun and water repellent extendable canopy, peekaboo window, enhanced airflow, curved base for rocking and cushioned fabrics.
Why Choose Joie’s i-Size Car Seats for Your Child?
Below are a few more reasons why we think the Joie i-Size car seats are ideal for meeting the needs of growing children.
Compliance With Advanced Car Seat Regulations
Align with both R129 and i-Size compliance meets the needs of growing children as it ensures protection is always provided should impacts occur. Thanks to adjustable features, safety can be maintained with each of these seats.
Guaranteed Comfort for Little Passengers
The care, maintenance and design considerations in Joie seats also ensure children can maintain full comfort as they grow instead of seats being too small for their needs.
Simple to Use
All seats can be easily fitted and adjusted which is ideal for children of all ages. For younger children, this means they are not left to get frustrated by being outside for too long and older children won’t feel like the seats are only catered to youngsters meaning they’ll be emotionally relaxed in their car seat.
