I looked at many car seats before falling in love with this one, I loved the fact that it had the most padding compared to other more expensive car seats. The good is great, for shielding baby in the summer and winter.
It’s so easy to use for a first time mum,
It’s easy to transfer from the car to the pram with the bugaboo adapters.
First off I love this car seat! My I laws live over an hour and a half away from us & to know he is lying (almost) flat puts our mind at ease for his breathing! It’s got great amounts of padding and he fits in there snuggly. My only criticism is that now he is 14 lbs the whole thing is a lot heavier than our back up seat which doesn’t recline. Because of all the gadgets to make it lie flat it makes it heavier.
We love this car seat. Our baby was born early and when we finally got to take him home he was still only 4lb 3, the car seat padding meant that he didn’t look completely lost in the car seat like we expected. He’s grown into it well and at 6 months old he still has plenty of room. We drove 12 hours to the in-laws house and although we stopped regularly he was so content laying flat in the car seat we just felt safe knowing he was comfy and his airways weren’t at risk. It’s definately made our mind up to stay with Joie for his next car seat!

Best purchase as quality for the value for money is excellent. The fact that the isofix base comes with the seat as one very reasonable price is superb.
Love the fact can almost lie out little one flat so not squished for long car journeys. Also when little one falls asleep on a journey do not have to disturb him when we get home as take the seat out and lie flat when we get in.
Car seat is quite light too.
UV shade really good too
I am a bit concerned if I can keep it clean easily but very easy to install, suitable from birth. Has a very good feedback with green/red sign, can not go wrong eith installations.
Very good car seat for baby's. Easy to fit in the car . And baby can lie down flat so it's very good for our little ones . He looks very comfy when I'm putting him in it he can sleeps for hours when we travelling long way
Lays flat, easy to clip into isofix base, straps move with headrest

Bought this as needed a lie flat car seat for long journeys. Amazing car seat - looks comfy, easy to clip into the base and remove. Don’t have to adjust the shoulder straps higher as it moves with the head rest.
I love this car seat as my baby was so comfortable in this whole sleeping as it lies right back in a sleeping position. She outgrew this at 9 months old so it didn’t last her very long.
I love this car seat and so glad I chose it.
It has an insert for when your baby is newborn and since I had my son 3 weeks early and he was only small it was perfect.
Got a car seat with our travel system, but coming home from the hospital was worried he didn't look supported enough.
Step in the I-level!
Why not go I-size nowadays if there's a new safety regulation.
Great recline feature means being less worried about the little one. One problem being it only just goes to its flattest in our car (Toyota auris) as it brings the legs up quite high against the seat.
Great to have newborn insert to cushion him though he needed it gone before the height they suggest.
Easy to adjust. Button to loosen the straps not most intuitive but easily gotten the hang of. Also now baby is heavier the car seat seems so light!
Great value that isofix also included, and although not compatible with any older seats. But saves you from wondering if you'll actually want the next size up.

Love this product! So easy to get in any out of the car! The seat also fits to my pram which was an added benefit! My baby is 6 months and still fits in the seat comfortably.
Very easy to install and use. We love the lie-flat feature for when baby falls asleep in the car

We just love our Joie I-level car seat. It’s stylish and practical and very easy to install. We bought the I-level for its lie-flat feature and when we found out we could drive with the lie-flat on, it was great for our baby on those long car journeys and he is more comfortable that way too!
I recommend this car seat to everyone I meet.
The only downside is that you need the isofix base as it doesn’t strap up with a car seatbelt but this makes it much safer and the base is so easy to install that we have moved it many times between our car and the grandparents car in a matter of seconds. This really is a great all round car seat
Used with a travel system for my newborn, perfect until she reached 9 months and she and the car seat became to heavy move. Easy to clip into the isofix base and great to use whilst baby is young and likes naps.
My baby boy was born earlier than expected and I felt nervous putting him in a car seat but he looked perfectly comfortable and protected and it has grown perfectly with him. I love the simple design and have found everything on it very user friendly. I think for the price (including isofix base) it has been one of the best value for money items I have bought for my lb.
Car safety is paramount for little ones. This is why i chose the Joie i size level car seat with isofix base. The seat itself i love. Very study, albeit heavy and i love the adjustment lie flat option with the adjustable headlevel. The full 157 degree lie down, meant i need not worry as much when he ws a newborn and being in the seat for long periods unlike other seats. The biggest weakness i would say is the release button on the base for the seat. It is not easy to pull and very difficult if you are not used to lifting weights. But all in all, i would 1000% recommend!!!
My daughter is three months now and loves her car seat! When we find it hard to settle her in the house we can just pop her in her seat make her all snug with a blanket and she’s straight off! We bought this product due to travelling regularly to visit family so she has the ultimate comfort on our travels and we don’t have the worry of her breathing, however we still stop every two /three hours for a break when on a journey. Mila has never been difficult in the car, the minute she’s in her seat and the engine is on she’s asleep in seconds. ?? It stays that way.
Despite it being quite bulky to carry around, I absolutely love this car seat. I used it for my lb from birth and he was always comfortable, the recline option is fantastic as I wasn't worried about his breathing as much and he always seemed happier. Very easy to use and adjust, I like the button to loosen the straps. My lb did grow out of it at 7 months, but he was in the 91st percentile, so I imagine most babies it would last longer for.
We bought this car seat because we knew we were definitely going to drive a lot whilst baby was really young, so we wanted to make sure she can sleep and breathe comfortably for longer. It is a very well cushioned car seat and keeps baby safely in place without wobbling around. It has the same base as a maxi cosi car seat so we can even use it on our stokke pram, using the maxi cosi adapters.
The car seat comes in a lovely grey colour, has 3positions and it looks and feels expensive. It has a spf50 hood it's fully adjustable and it comes with a newborn insert. I would definitely suggest to try it in your car before you buy it because it does take up a lot of space when baby is lying flat and might not fit smaller models. A negative would be that it is on the heavier side and i struggle to carry it alone. I also struggle to take it out of the car(i usually pass this mission to my husband), although it's not impossible once you get the gist.
My baby sleeps comfortably in it, it is a very practical car sear and albeit expensive, i am really happy with my purchase
Love this car seat. Exceptional extra testing and a great price for an iso fix lay flat option. So easy to clip and in clip from car to pram and with it being lie flat you don't ha e to worry about the strange angle of normal car seats and your baby having breading difficulties.
This product is quite heavy if you don’t have a lot of strength or are not very strong but I love this chair as it so comfy, so if your pregnant and already have a Child I would not recommend trying to carry it
We chose this carseat as we loved the fact it reclined flat, but in reality we haven't used that feature as much as we thought we would and so I'm not sure it was worth spending the extra money for a carseat with this feature over other isize seats. It is also a very heavy seat which, coupled with the weight of our baby, means that at 7months old it now remains fixed in the car.
That said, we love how padded this seat is (and all other joie seats I think!) - much comfier than other infant seats from different brands that we looked at. Its easy to fasten and adjust, and the green indicators on the isofix make for a clear and reassuring guide that it's installed correctly. Ultimately, safety is the most important feature in a carseat, and I have full confidence in this seat for my baby!
We loved this as it clips from the isofix base directly to our pram. You can stretch out the seat so you don't waken the baby and let him sleep while you shop etc. As my baby got older I found it more difficult seemed like he was sliding out tho due to the angle. Quite heavy so I always used my wheels to take baby about places.
We went for this seat for the isofix and the fact is lays flat, both features helped us a lot ensuring our new baby stays safe and comfortable! The seat clips into our pram effortlessly so it makes moving the seat from pram to car so much easier. It is slightly heavy when carry the seat but I don't imagine you would be carrying the seat by hand for extended periods of time.
The padding is great and makes me better knowing she's comfy but secure.
I spent a long time researching car seats for my twins. Although these seats are not compatible with my pram as a travel system, the lie flat feature was a key point in choosing them as it would be safer for long car journeys.
The seats are well padded and seem comfortable for the babies. The isofix base comes with the seat so no need to buy them separately. A red and green display indicates clearly if the seat is installed correctly. The main issue is that the seats are heavy to carry evergreen b without a baby in them, and will need to be replaced in a few months as the babies grow.
