2.1. Joie i-Snug™ / i-Snug™ 2 Egg (The Lightest Option)

The i-Snug is one of the lightest car seats on the market, making the Pact DUO system incredibly easy to handle and transport.

• Child's Height: 40 cm to 75 cm (approximately from birth to 12 months)

i-Snug Vehicle Installation Options:

2.2. Joie i-Gemm™ Egg (e.g. i-Gemm™ 3) (Robust and Versatile Protection)

The i-Gemm offers robust protection and comfort features, making it a versatile and slightly more durable option in terms of child height.

i-Gemm Vehicle Installation Options:

4. Typical Contents of a Joie Pact DUO Set:

• Joie Pact™ stroller frame with seat unit
• Egg car seat adapters
• Rain cover for the stroller
• Carrying bag for the stroller
• One of the Joie "Ovo" Car Seats (i-Snug™/i-Snug 2™ or i-Gemm™/i-Gemm 3™)
• Optional and often sold separately: ISOFIX base (fixed or rotating) for the chosen "egg" car seat.

5. Key Points to Consider When Choosing Your Joie Pact DUO System:

• Ultra Portability: The Pact's main attraction is its extremely light weight and super compact closure, ideal for travel, public transportation and storage in small spaces.
• Simplicity and Convenience: The focus is on ease of use for everyday use. The seat is non-reversible and the handlebars are fixed, common features in strollers in this category to optimize weight and the folding mechanism.
• Egg Choice:
  • Joie i-Snug / i-Snug 2: If the priority is to keep the system as light as possible, the i-Snug (especially the i-Snug 2) is the perfect choice, complementing the lightweight nature of the Pact stroller.
  • Joie i-Gemm (e.g. i-Gemm 3): If you prefer a slightly more robust egg, with simultaneous adjustment of the harness and headrest, and that fits up to a slightly higher height, the i-Gemm is an excellent alternative, adding a little more weight to the set.
• ISOFIX Base Convenience: Adding an ISOFIX base (fixed or rotating like the i-Base Encore) to your chosen car seat significantly increases the ease and safety of car installation, although it does add an extra cost. The Encore base's rotation is a huge benefit for parents' comfort.
• Urban Use: The Pact is ideal for riding on smooth surfaces and urban environments.
