Joie Juva Group 0+ Car Seat-Black Ink

We bought this car seat because we are on a budget and don't use our car often due to living in Central London. We liked the option of being able to use it with or without the base. Firstly, because we could save money short term and buy the base a few months down the line when we could afford it (we haven't yet bought the base as it works great without it so we are saving the money for her next car seat when she outgrows this one) and secondly because our parents' cars don't have the fixings for the base, so we needed to be able to use it in their cars too. It is also so easy to fit into your car with the belt, my baby looks safe and I presume she is comfortable as she sleeps on every journey! I have marked it down slightly for 'easy to use' and 'design' as the seat belt goes right across the lap, which can make it difficult to get her in and out, unless you take the belt off completely. However, this is my first baby and car seat so i'm unsure if it's the same for all belt-fitted car seats. The straps are easy to adjust (make sure you practice before getting to the hospital, though, it took us a while to work it out when we all ready to go as we were so tired).

Second, consider what type of installation method will work for you. If your vehicle has ISOFIX anchor points, you may choose between an ISOFIX installation or vehicle belt installation. Just like new and protective parents, we put safety first. You’ll find the highest standards of safety features in all our car seats: div>

The Joie Stages FX works from birth to seven years and can be used in the desirable rear-facing position until the age of four, and forward-facing position until the age of seven (25kg). Combining three seats in one, this car seat comes with a great headrest and harness system - 5 position harness and headrest heights that adjust simultaneously and with just one hand (without uninstalling or rethreading). The car seat's steel frame support keeps the car seat strong during impact, extends the life of the materials of the seat to 10 years, and adds weight to keep the seat tight and low to the vehicle seat for better stability and protection.

BabyCentre parents love the seat and the price point. A cheaper option is good, not least because not everyone has a car, so some parents may only need a car seat for the trip home from hospital, or the odd trip out in someone else's car.
