Joie Every Stage vs Joie i-spin 360 | Which Is The Better Car Seat?

[@dawei53]

I have the Joie every stage which is secured by the seat belts and the child is secured by the harness. Now the child is up to stage 3 and has to be secured by the car seat belts. What now secures the seat to the car? Is the child seat put on to the car seat loose, the child installed on the seat and both the child and the child seat secured by the seat belt? Is that safe to do? Is the Joie car seat supposed to be removed from the car when not in use or is in supposed to be held in place by the car seat belt? video and instruction manual aren't clear on this, or I'm not clever enough to follow the instructions.

When you move to group 2/3 the seat is a non-isofix highback booster. It is secured via the vehicle lap and diagonal seat belt. There is no other fixing. Its useful to keep the booster seat installed with the seat belt even when not in use so it is secure in the vehicle.

Lovely video.. but from my point of view its not same type of car seat.. i spin 360 xl is game changer..

That's a seat we will definitely review in the future

[@dawei53]

if the car doesn't have isofix does the child seat just sit on top of the rear seat when used by a child over 18kg; i.e. does the car seat belt hold both the child AND the every stage in position?

Depends which seat you are referring to. The Joie i-Spin is only isofix and only suitable up to 105cm. If you choose the Joie Every Stage. This is only belted installation. This seat coverts to a highback booster seat from 15-36kgs

Glad we could help

9-18 kg forward facing, probably should add that isn’t recommended 🤦🏻‍♀️

Of course. We advocate rear facing for as long as possible. However if we are discussing the specifications of the seat as per R44/04 then we need to cover the various options with this multi-stage seat to avoid any confusion.
