Joie Pact™ DUO: Compact Stroller and Lightweight Travel System

The Joie Pact™ is an exceptionally lightweight and ultra-compact stroller, designed to simplify the lives of parents on the go, whether traveling or for daily urban commutes.

2.1. Joie i-Snug™ / i-Snug™ 2 Infant Car Seat (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.

• Safety Standard: ECE R129/02 (i-Size) or R129/03 (for i-Snug 2)
• Child Height: 40 cm to 75 cm (approx. from birth up to 12 months)
• Maximum Child Weight: 13 kg
• Seat Weight: Approximately 3.25 kg (i-Snug) / 3.35 kg (i-Snug 2)
• Head Protection: Tri-Protect™ headrest with three layers of protection, including Intelli-Fit™ memory foam.
• Newborn Insert: Included.

i-Snug Installation Options in the Vehicle:

• Without Base (3-Point Seat Belt Installation):
  • Uses the vehicle's 3-point seat belt. Ideal for those seeking simplicity or using multiple cars.
• With ISOFIX Fixed Base (Sold Separately):
  • Base Examples: Joie i-Base™ 2, Joie i-Base™ Advance, Joie i-Base™ LX 2.
  • Offers a quicker, easier ISOFIX installation with visual indicators for correct fitting, minimizing the risk of error. The adjustable support leg ensures stability.
• With ISOFIX Swivel Base (Sold Separately):
  • Base Example: Joie i-Base™ Encore.
  • This base allows the i-Snug (especially the i-Snug 2) to rotate 90º towards the car door, significantly facilitating placing and removing the baby. It is part of the Encore modular system.

2.2. Joie i-Gemm™ Infant Car Seat (e.g., i-Gemm™ 3) (Robust and Versatile Protection)

The i-Gemm offers robust protection and comfort features, being a versatile option that lasts slightly longer in terms of child height.

• Safety Standard: ECE R129/03 (i-Size) or previous version (e.g., i-Gemm 2 ECE R129/00), depending on the exact model.
• Child Height: 40 cm to 85 cm (approx. from birth up to 15-18 months)
• Maximum Child Weight: 13 kg
• Seat Weight: Approximately 4.5 kg - 4.85 kg (e.g., i-Gemm 3 approx. 4.5 kg - 4.7 kg)
• Head Protection: Tri-Protect™ headrest with Intelli-Fit™ foam. Grow Together™ system for simultaneous adjustment of the headrest and harness.
• Canopy: Extendable with UPF50+ sun protection and ventilation panel.
• Newborn Insert: Included.

i-Gemm Installation Options in the Vehicle:

• Without Base (3-Point Seat Belt Installation):
  • Uses the vehicle's 3-point seat belt, following the installation guides.
• With ISOFIX Fixed Base (Sold Separately):
  • Base Examples: Joie i-Base™ Advance, Joie i-Base™ LX 2.
  • Provides a solid and secure ISOFIX installation, with indicators for correct fitting. The i-Base™ Advance can integrate the Encore modular system (allowing the use of the i-Venture R follow-on seat on the same base after the infant seat).
• With ISOFIX Swivel Base (Sold Separately):
  • Base Example: Joie i-Base™ Encore.
  • Allows the i-Gemm (especially the i-Gemm 3) to rotate 90º towards the car door, making the experience significantly more comfortable for parents.

4. Typical Content of a Joie Pact DUO Set:

• Joie Pact™ stroller chassis with seat unit
• Infant car seat adapters
• Stroller Rain Cover
• Carry bag for the stroller
• One of the Joie Infant Car Seats (i-Snug™/i-Snug 2™ or i-Gemm™/i-Gemm 3™)
• Optional and often sold separately: ISOFIX Base (fixed or swivel) for the chosen infant car seat.

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

• Ultra Portability: The main appeal of the Pact is its extremely light weight and super compact fold, ideal for travel, public transport, and storage in small spaces.
• Simplicity and Convenience: The focus is on ease of daily use. The seat is not reversible and the handlebar is fixed, features common in strollers of this category to optimize weight and folding mechanism.
• Infant Seat 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 infant seat, with simultaneous harness and headrest adjustment, and one that serves 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 swivel like the i-Base Encore) to your chosen infant seat significantly increases the ease and safety of installation in the car, although it adds an extra cost. The rotation of the Encore base is a major benefit for parental comfort.
• Urban Use: The Pact is ideal for use on smooth surfaces and in urban environments.
