A multi-stage seat to last the distance, taking you from that very first trip home from the hospital to 25kg (approx 7 years old). That’s a lot of journeys! With the option of remaining rear-facing up to 18kg (approx age 4) for the safest travel, or turning forward-facing any time from 9kg if you choose, Joie Stages then converts into a high-back booster for those first years of school.

The current safety guidelines advise that newborn babies are not left in their car seat for longer than 30 minutes. For babies 2-6 months, no longer than 2 hours. It is also safer to keep your child rear-facing for as long as possible –  a minimum of 15 months but ideally 4 years. A child should never be in their harnessed car seat with a thick winter coat or snowsuit on.
