Joie DUO Chrome™ + i-Snug™ Infant Carrier: Classic, Versatile, and Lightweight Travel System

The Joie DUO Chrome™ system with the i-Snug™ Infant Carrier combines a multifunctional and robust stroller with one of the lightest infant car seats on the market.

The Chrome™ stands out with its reversible seat and carrycot compatibility (sold separately), while the i-Snug™ offers i-Size safety with exceptional portability.

1. Joie Chrome™ Stroller (System Base)

The Joie Chrome™ is a complete stroller, known for its versatility and ability to adapt to different stages of the baby's growth.

2. Joie i-Snug™ / i-Snug™ 2 Infant Car Seat (The Lightest Option)

The Joie i-Snug™ is one of the lightest infant car seats on the market, i-Size certified, offering safety and incredible ease of transport. It is the perfect match for the Chrome™, creating a practical and lightweight travel system.

• Safety Standard: i-Snug: ECE R129/02 (i-Size); i-Snug 2: ECE R129/03 (i-Size)
• Child Height: 40 cm to 75 cm (approximately from birth up to 12 months)
• Maximum Child Weight: 13 kg
• Infant Carrier Weight: i-Snug: approximately 3.25 kg; i-Snug 2: approximately 3.25 kg to 3.35 kg (Super Lightweight)
• Head Protection: Tri-Protect™ headrest with three layers of foam, including the patented Intelli-Fit™, for excellent side-impact protection.
• Newborn Insert: Included, for a perfect and secure fit from the first days.
• Curved Base: Allows the baby to be gently rocked when the carrier is placed on the floor.
• Canopy: With UPF50+ sun protection and water-repellent.
• Stroller Compatibility: Fits the Chrome™ stroller with the adapters included in the DUO system. Compatible with other Joie strollers and those from other brands using Maxi-Cosi type adapters.

i-Snug™ Installation Options in the Vehicle:

• Without Base (Installation with Vehicle Seat Belt):
  • The i-Snug™ can be securely installed using the car's 3-point seat belt. Colour-coded belt paths facilitate correct installation. This option is ideal for those who use multiple cars or do not intend to purchase a base.
• With ISOFIX Fixed Base (Sold Separately):
  • Examples of compatible bases: Joie i-Base™ 2, Joie i-Base™ Advance, Joie i-Base™ LX 2.
  • Installation with an ISOFIX base is generally faster, easier, and reduces the risk of incorrect assembly. The base remains fixed in the car, and the infant carrier clicks in and out. They feature visual indicators to confirm correct installation and an adjustable support leg for greater stability.
• With ISOFIX Swivel Base (Sold Separately):
  • Example of compatible base: Joie i-Base™ Encore.
  • This premium base offers 90º rotation functionality for the i-Snug™ (especially the i-Snug 2). This means you can turn the carrier towards the car door, making it much easier to place and remove the baby without straining your back. The i-Base™ Encore is part of the Encore modular system, which can be compatible with a next-stage car seat.

3. DUO Configuration: Joie Chrome™ + i-Snug™ Infant Carrier

The combination of the Chrome™ stroller and the i-Snug™ infant carrier offers a versatile and very practical travel system:

• Easy Transition: Move your baby from the car to the stroller (and vice versa) without waking them, simply by transferring the i-Snug™ carrier onto the Chrome™ chassis using the adapters.
• Lightweight Carrier: The reduced weight of the i-Snug™ is a major advantage when carrying the baby in the carrier.
• Stroller Comfort: When the baby is older or for longer outings, the spacious and reversible Chrome™ seat, with its full recline, offers all the necessary comfort.
• Adaptability: The Chrome™ is also ready to accept the Chrome™ carrycot (sold separately), should you desire that additional option for the first few months.
