Joie Every Stage Car Seat Specification

The Joie Every Stage Car Seat is a versatile and adaptive solution designed to accommodate children from birth up to approximately 12 years of age, supporting a weight range of 0-36 kg.

To enhance comfort, the Joie Every Stage Car Seat includes side impact protection with Guard Surround Safety™ panels and memory foam inserts that absorb energy during a collision. The headrest is adjustable, featuring 10 positions that can be easily modified to accommodate the child's growth. The seat offers multiple recline positions in both rear and forward-facing modes, ensuring comfort for sleeping children.

Installation is made straightforward with color-coded guides that facilitate correct seatbelt routing, while the seat's design is compatible with ISOFIX when used in booster mode, offering additional stability. The fabrics used are plush and breathable, removable, and machine washable for ease of cleaning. The Joie Every Stage Car Seat meets rigorous safety standards, adhering to ECE R44/04 regulations. It combines ergonomic design with safety and comfort, making it a comprehensive choice for parents seeking a long-term car seat solution.
