Tri-Protect™ Safety
Three layers of protection including Intelli-Fit™ memory foam help protect your baby's head and neck.
Travel System Ready
Compatible with most Joie strollers using universal adapters for seamless transitions from car to stroller.
Designed to make every journey easier
At just 3.3 kg, the Joie i-Starter has been designed for busy family life. Carrying your baby in and out of the car, climbing stairs or transferring the seat to a stroller becomes significantly easier.
Its ergonomic carry handle features a soft grip to reduce strain on arms, hands and back, making everyday use more comfortable for parents.
Advanced protection from the very first journey
The Joie Signature i-Starter complies with the demanding ECE R129/03 safety standard, including side impact testing designed to better protect your baby during a collision.
Its i-Size certification helps ensure a secure fit in compatible vehicles, while its rear-facing design offers superior protection for the head, neck and spine during the earliest stages of development.
Compatible with i-Base Encore for convenient 90° rotation
The Joie Signature i-Starter can be paired with the i-Base Encore, allowing the seat to rotate 90° towards the vehicle door. This makes placing your baby into the seat and lifting them out significantly easier during everyday journeys.
This feature is particularly valuable during the first months when parents frequently transfer their baby in and out of the vehicle and need quick, comfortable access.
Install with the vehicle seat belt or a compatible base
The i-Starter can be installed using the vehicle's 3-point seat belt, making it easy to move between different vehicles whenever needed.
For even greater convenience, it is also compatible with the i-Base Encore, which provides a secure installation and allows access to the practical 90° rotation feature. The base is sold separately.
This flexibility makes the i-Starter an excellent solution for families using multiple vehicles, travelling regularly, or needing a car seat that adapts to different situations.
Soft fabrics, newborn insert and premium finishes
Your baby is surrounded by luxurious knitted fabrics, premium mesh materials, woven textiles and elegant vegan leather accents that are designed to look beautiful while standing up to everyday family life.
The newborn insert helps create a snug and supportive fit for smaller babies, offering additional comfort and reassurance during those first precious months.
Designed for families who appreciate style and practicality
The Joie Signature collection is known for its sophisticated colour palette, layered fabric textures and carefully crafted finishes. The i-Starter brings these premium design elements to an infant carrier that is both stylish and highly practical.
Every detail has been thoughtfully designed to provide a luxurious feel while maintaining the durability required for everyday family use.
Adjustable headrest and UPF 50+ canopy protection
The adjustable headrest grows with your baby, helping create a secure and personalised fit throughout the first year.
The integrated UPF 50+ canopy helps shield delicate skin and sensitive eyes from sunlight while providing additional privacy from noise, bright environments and distractions.
Its curved base allows gentle rocking when the seat is not installed in the vehicle, creating a more soothing and relaxing environment for your baby.
