This seat is lovely. It has many different positions and my 6month old loves being able to see things in a nice upright position. Managed to catch in when it was on sale in Mothercare so was definitely worth the buy.
Great seat!!
We have recently purchased this for our 6month old daughter as she hated travelling in the car when in the car seat from the travel system as it was to confined for her. Instantly she loved it and was happy instead of screaming! Within seconds she also fell asleep, on the sides of the car seat it has holders to put bottles etc which is handy. We choose this car seat as it would grow with her and we wouldn’t have to keep buying new ones every couple of years. It can be difficult to install but there are videos you can watch from Joie which is more understandable than the handbook.
This is a brilliant car seat for comfort and head support for my baby. Adjust to his size as he grows and the recline goes back quite a lot so my newborn can lay back. The only bad points I have would be the harness belts fall back into the car seat before I sit my baby down. Also, the car seatbelt get in the way when putting baby in and out. Apart from those two things, this is a excellent car seat.
The harness could do with magnets to hold the belt open.

We brought this seat for my 2yr the seat is perfect for her. She is comfy and often falls asleep in it and the recline feature comes in handy for that. The only issue we have is when we put her I the seat the harness always falls into the seat.. so it could do with some magnets to hold open on the side.
This seat is fab!! The comfort and protection of the seat is great. I know my son is safe. Big head rest and even though the seat belt can get in the way sometimes, it’s no biggy. So happy we brought this.
Extra side protection and can last for a long time

This product has served us well for our 3 year old and we no this will last until he is 12 years old this was the reason for choosing it. The fact it will last so long.
It is quite big and bulky but this wouldn’t put me of buying it as like I say it lasts so long.

I like the material and weight of this car seat
I loved the fact my daughter always looked comfy even when she was sleeping hard to find a car seat like this for my daughter.
My daughter is always so comfortable in this car seat.
Love that it has 4 different recline options, so if we go on a longer journey she can sleep in comfort.
It is rather big but I know it’s well made and will last.
I am currently using this car seat . This car seat is valuable and long term . Very easy to install and best thing is that it is very safe for all age group kids
My son seems good in it.
Easy to install in the car and my little boy looks super comfy

Bought this car seat as my son cried every time he was in the car in his carry car seat due to having reflux and gastro problems. Since having his new seat he is much happier in the car as he is a little more up right.
I THINK the joie car seat is practical and is useful with all of the different settings. The isofix base is very useful so you dont have to mess about with the straps.
I love This seat, it has been so comfortable for my son, he's now 4 months old and this seat has been fantastic, with the newborn wedge it helped him lay pretty much flat when travelling in the car to multiple destinations. And now that he's a bit bigger the wedge has come out but he's still super cushioned by the liner/padding inside and lots of growing room left until I have to remove that bit!
I LOVE that he can rear face for a long time with this seat, it was one of the main reasons i purchased it....another reason is a just love the bluebird colour that I have it in. I have 3 children and he's my ONLY boy...so everything simply must be blue!
The only downfall is that it's so chunky! Its a beast inside our 7 seater Chevrolet Orlando... and even with just 3 children in a 7 seater Car, one child always has to sit in the extra seat in the boot space because my son's chair is so big there isn't enough space, and we bought a bigger car specifically knowing baby #3 was on its way. So for our car not to feel big enough because of this chair is a bit of a bummer. But other than that reason I love It, very practical and most of all safe! Would still recommend to friends and family like I already have done.

I've had this carseat for quite a few months now and it is worth every penny. It was so simple to fit and its really strong and sturdy. I love the fact it will grow with my daughter so it's well worth they money.
With this car seat i have had no problems what so ever and feel confident that when my son falls asleep within minutes of being the car he always looks comfortable and relaxed! The straps keep your child gripped safely and i have since recommended this car seat to friends and family.
It got isofix and it also can be fitted with the seat belt. It can be used for 12 years .

I bought this item when my daughter turned 12 months . I wanted an isofix car seat that can be used for longer . I wish I had got this from the beginning . I find it very useful as it can be fitted both ways with seatbelt . It also can be fitted with isofix but only forwards. What I like most about this product is that is very comfortable for my daughter, got enough room . It got 6 reclining positions and built in side ventilation. It is very easy to install and use . Plus it can be used until the child is 12 or until he has 36kg. Thinking that you can use it for 12 years, the car seat is cheaper than other brands. We have been using it for 2 months now and we haven’t had any problems at all .
Sometimes difficult to recline in forward facing mode, harness straps can also be difficult to pull

I bought this as my second car seat for my other car purely on the good price and because it lasts them up until the age of 12. Its comfortable but heavy and bulky. I was shown how to fit it and still struggled slightly when fitting it myself. The overall design is ok, I like how you can use the seatbelt and/or isofix but I would have preferred to have bought it in a different colour if available. I've only owned it for 8 months and I'm hoping it will last my child until the age of 12. I have found on occasions the recline position gets stuck and it takes a lot of force and effort to get it moving again. The harness straps can also sometimes be difficult to pull securely. But overall I'm happy with this purchase.
Comfortable, different seating positions, from newborn up to infant without needing to buy a new one

Lovely seat, looks good, baby very comfortable.. plenty of room to grow.. am very pleased with the seat.. reclines so baby can sleep, or sits up so they can look out the window.. front and rear facing, keeps them rear facing for longer which is safer.
My son loves it super comfy and so much room loves the reclining of it super easy to fit into the car it has so much room and the straps are very very stretchy.
This product is safe that is the most important thing. It does the job, plus it is very comfortable for my son. The problem is to set it right in car, very complicated, spent time to do it, still recommend it.
Very comfortable for my son. One of the only car seats that the straps still fit him, he’s a big boy
Weaknesses:
Head rest is sometimes very stiff to adjust and have to really yank it up.

This car seat is one of the only ones where the built in straps will still secure on my son. He’s quite a bit chap and very tall for his age. He finds it very comfortable and falls asleep easily in it. Very easy to install however can be a pain to get in and get it of 3 door car.
This car seat looks really sleek and is exceptionally comfortable for my daughter.
Weaknesses:
It doesn't have the swivel capabilities that other similar products do

This car seat has really impressed me with its design, ease of fitting, comfort and value considering it is an 'every stage'.
My daughter always seems exceptionally pleased to be in there (and this showed me how much worse our old one was).
The seat feels safe whilst being straightforward to fit: recently we went forward-facing and I anticipated a 'job' trying to re-fit using only the instructions. It was however exceptionally easy to do.
Only problem is that rear-facing you have to lift your baby over the seat belt which is an inch or so higher than the seat. Front facing I have to lift her in sideways which is getting increasingly difficult as a heavy toddler.
To make this seat perfect would be to have a swivel capability.
