Joie DUO / TRIO Pact PRO Compact Stroller

Joie Pact™ Pro DUO / TRIO: Ultra Compact and Lightweight Travel System (Up to 15kg Inmetro / 22kg EU standard on stroller seat)

The Joie Pact™ Pro is a remarkably lightweight and ultra-compact stroller, designed for parents who value portability, ease of use, and convenience for travel or daily urban life. Although compact, the Pact Pro can be transformed into a DUO system (stroller + infant car seat) or TRIO system (stroller + infant car seat + Ramble carrycot), offering a complete travel solution from birth. It supports up to 15 kg (approximately 3 years) according to Inmetro certification, and up to 22 kg according to European standards, on the main stroller seat.

1. Joie Pact™ Pro Stroller (System Base)

The Pact™ Pro is known for its incredibly compact one-hand fold and its featherlight weight, making it an ideal travel companion.

2. Joie Ramble™ / Ramble™ XL Carrycot Option (for TRIO Configuration)

The addition of the Ramble™ or Ramble™ XL carrycot transforms the Pact Pro into a comfortable pram system for the baby's first few months.

3. Joie Infant Car Seat Options for the Pact Pro System

The Pact Pro is compatible with a selection of Joie infant car seats, allowing you to create a light and practical travel system. All are installed in the vehicle exclusively rear-facing.

3.1. With/Without Joie i-Snug™ / i-Snug™ 2 Infant Car Seat (Super Lightweight)

• Without i-Snug Seat: If you choose not to include this seat, you can use the Pact Pro with the Ramble carrycot (TRIO without this specific seat) or just the stroller seat (from the appropriate age/weight or with full recline).
• With i-Snug/i-Snug 2 Seat: Creates one of the lightest possible travel systems.
  • Standard: ECE R129/02 (i-Snug), ECE R129/03 (i-Snug 2) (i-Size)
  • Height: 40-75 cm
  • Seat Weight: ~3.25 kg (i-Snug) / ~3.35 kg (i-Snug 2)
  • Vehicle Installation: 3-point belt; Fixed ISOFIX base (e.g., i-Base 2, i-Base Advance); Swivel ISOFIX base (e.g., i-Base Encore - 90º rotation for the seat).

3.2. With/Without Joie i-Gemm™ Infant Car Seat (e.g., i-Gemm™ 3) (Robust Protection)

• Without i-Gemm Seat: You can opt for another compatible infant car seat (like the i-Snug or i-Level), the carrycot, or just the stroller.
• With i-Gemm Seat: Offers a good balance between robust protection and weight.
  • Standard: ECE R129/03 (i-Gemm 3) (i-Size) or earlier for older i-Gemm models.
  • Height: 40-85 cm
  • Seat Weight: ~4.5 kg - 4.85 kg (varies by specific model)
  • Vehicle Installation: 3-point belt; Fixed ISOFIX base (e.g., i-Base Advance); Swivel ISOFIX base (e.g., i-Base Encore - 90º rotation for the seat).

3.3. With/Without Joie i-Level™ Infant Car Seat (Range, e.g., i-Level Recline) (Ergonomic Reclining Comfort)

• Without i-Level Seat: You can choose one of the other lighter infant car seats or use the carrycot/stroller seat.
• With i-Level Seat (e.g., i-Level Recline): Prioritizes postural comfort for the baby with its deep recline feature.
  • Standard: ECE R129/03 (i-Size) for recent i-Level models (like i-Level Recline).
  • Height: 40-85 cm
  • Seat Weight: ~4.83 kg (i-Level Recline without base); the seat + i-Base Encore base weighs approximately 9.94 kg (seat ~4.8 kg + base ~5.14 kg). Varies depending on the specific model in the i-Level range.
  • Vehicle Installation: 3-point belt (check the specific model manual, as not all i-Levels are belt-certified, and recline in the car may be limited); Fixed ISOFIX Base (e.g., i-Base LX 2); Swivel ISOFIX Base (i-Base Encore is ideal for 90º seat rotation and for activating deep recline in the car for i-Level models that allow it).

6. Key Points to Consider When Choosing Your Pact Pro System:

• Maximum Portability: If your main focus is an extremely light stroller with an ultra-compact fold for travel, public transport, or small trunks, the Pact Pro is a top choice.
• Non-Reversible Seat and Fixed Handlebar: These are common features in ultra-compact strollers to maintain weight and folding simplicity.
• Urban/Travel Use: The four-wheel suspension is suitable for smoother surfaces typical of cities and airports.
• Stroller Weight Capacity: Consider the difference between the Inmetro certification (15 kg) and the European standard (22 kg) for the stroller seat.
• Infant Car Seat Choice:
  • i-Snug/i-Snug 2: Keeps the system as light as possible.
  • i-Gemm: Adds a bit more robustness and longevity of use by height.
  • i-Level (Range): Offers maximum postural comfort with recline (when used with a compatible base like the i-Base Encore and an i-Level model that allows in-car recline), but adds more weight to the set. You must weigh whether this feature is a priority in a system focused on lightness.
• Carrycot Option: The Ramble/Ramble XL transforms it into a pram for newborns, but it adds bulk compared to using only the infant car seat for that stage.
• Use of Seat From Birth: The full recline of the Pact Pro seat allows its use from birth, offering an alternative to the infant car seat or carrycot if you prefer an all-in-one solution on the stroller itself.
