Joie Curve Car seat review

Joie curve car seat

Joie Curve car seat Summary

Not Recommended – The Joie Curve car seat; is a convertible car seat and is not recommended; due to the high RRP and its limitations. You will not get much use out of the seat past 3 years of age & it will only keep your child rear facing for between 12 and 14 months of age.

Joie Curve Car Seat – First Impressions

Like the Infa Komressor;  the Joie Curve infant car seat has a lever at the front to recline the baby car seat. Parents will notice that this car seat is only an A2 car seat which will only keep your child rear facing roughly 12 months of age. The R.R.P. of the seat is set at $549; therefore this is a high priced A2 car seat.

The Joie curve seat has a hassle free harness; however you need to loosen the harness; before you can adjust the harness height.

Compare this to the Infa Secure Quattro where you can lift the headrest without loosening the harness.

Joie Curve Recline Adjustment

The recline mechanism of the Joie curve is similar to the recline on Infa Secure car seats,  but the Joie Curve only has 3 recline positions available , one for rear facing and two for forward facing.

Where as the recline adjustment on Infa Secure car seats are not just limited to 3 positions.

Forward facing lock off clip
The red lock off clip (similar to some Britax Car seats) on the side; helps keep the seat belt secure. The lock off clip; needs to be checked regularly; to ensure, it has not opened up; allowing the car-seat to become loose.

Shoulder height markersThe Joie Curve only has only two height markers. The first height marker is set to 34-35 cm; indicating a large 12 month old. The second height marker is set at 36 cm; meaning you will be lucky to get 3 years of use out of this seat.
