1. Joie Parcel™ LX Signature Stroller (System Base)

The Parcel™ LX Signature stroller is notable for its featherlight weight, automatic fold, and high-quality materials, making it ideal for daily city use and travel.

2. Infant Carrier Options (Group 0+ Car Seats) for the Parcel LX Signature DUO System

This DUO system is presented with two options for premium Joie infant carriers, both installed in the vehicle exclusively rear-facing.

2.1. Joie Sprint™ R129 Infant Carrier (Lightweight and R129 Safety)

The Joie Sprint R129 is a lightweight car seat, certified to the latest R129 standard, focusing on safety and ease of use, ideal for complementing the compact nature of the Parcel LX Signature.

• Safety Standard: ECE R129/03 (i-Size).
• Child Height: 40 cm to 75 cm (approximately from birth up to 12 months).
• Maximum Child Weight: 13 kg.
• Carrier Weight: Approximately 3.3 kg (variations between 3.25 kg and 3.35 kg are normal).
• Head Protection: Tri-Protect™ headrest with three layers of protection, including Intelli-Fit™ memory foam.
• Harness Adjustment: Simultaneous headrest and harness adjustment with one hand (Grow Together™ System).
• Newborn Insert: Included, for an ergonomic and secure fit.
• Canopy: UPF50+ and water-repellent.

Vehicle Installation Options (with Joie Sprint™ R129):

• Without Base (With Vehicle Seat Belt):
  • Installation using the car's 3-point seat belt.
• With ISOFIX Fixed Base (Sold Separately):
  • Example of compatible base: Joie i-Base™ Encore (can be used as a fixed base for the Sprint) or Joie i-Base™ LX 2 (check specific compatibility).
  • The ISOFIX base offers faster, easier installation with lower risk of error, featuring correct installation indicators.
• With ISOFIX Rotating Base (Sold Separately):
  • Example of compatible base: Joie i-Base™ Encore.
  • Allows the Sprint R129 carrier to rotate 90º towards the car door, making it easier to place and remove the baby. The Sprint R129 is part of the Encore modular system.

2.2. Joie i-Level™ Pro / Recline Infant Carrier (Ergonomic Comfort with Deep Recline)

The i-Level™ Pro (or i-Level™ Recline) stands out for its deep recline capability, which can be used both on the stroller and in the car (when installed with the compatible ISOFIX base for full recline functionality in the vehicle). Ideal for those prioritizing maximum postural comfort for the baby.

• Safety Standard: ECE R129/03 (i-Size).
• Child Height: 40 cm to 85 cm (approximately from birth up to 15-18 months).
• Maximum Child Weight: 13 kg.
• Carrier Weight: Approximately 4.83 kg - 5.2 kg.
• Deep Recline: Its distinctive feature is the 157º recline, creating an almost horizontal position. This recline is fully functional on the stroller and primarily optimized for in-car use when combined with the compatible ISOFIX base (e.g., i-Base™ Encore).
• Head Protection: Tri-Protect™ headrest with Intelli-Fit™ memory foam. Grow Together™ system for simultaneous headrest and harness adjustment.
• Finishes: May feature premium Signature line finishes, depending on the exact i-Level Pro version chosen.

Vehicle Installation Options (with Joie i-Level™ Pro / Recline):

• Without Base (With Vehicle Seat Belt):
  • The Joie i-Level Recline (and Pro) model offers the possibility of installation with the car's 3-point seat belt.
  • Important: When using the i-Level Pro/Recline installed only with the seat belt in the vehicle, the deep recline capability inside the car may not be available or may be limited. The recline function remains fully available when the carrier is used on a stroller. Always consult your specific product manual.
• With ISOFIX Fixed Base (Sold Separately):
  • Example of compatible base: Joie i-Base™ LX 2. For full recline functionality in the car, the rotating base is generally indicated.
• With ISOFIX Rotating Base (Sold Separately):
  • Example of compatible base: Joie i-Base™ Encore.
  • This combination is the ideal and recommended choice for the i-Level™ Pro/Recline. The i-Base™ Encore not only allows the base to rotate 360º (making it easier to place the carrier facing the door), but it is also the base that allows the deep recline of the i-Level to be activated and used inside the vehicle.

5. Key Points to Consider When Choosing Your Parcel LX Signature DUO System:

• Priority on Compactness and Lightness: The Parcel LX Signature is ideal if you need an extremely light stroller with an ultra-compact fold that is easy to transport, whether for daily use, public transport, or travel. The Signature finishes add a touch of luxury.
• Non-Reversible Seat: The Parcel seat is fixed, facing forward.
• Carrier Choice:
  • Joie Sprint R129: If the maximum lightness of the carrier is crucial and you want a modular system with the Encore base (for rotation and potential use with a subsequent compatible seat), the Sprint is an excellent R129 choice.
  • Joie i-Level Pro: If maximum postural comfort for the baby, with the option of deep recline in the car (with the Encore base) and on the stroller, is your priority, the i-Level Pro is superior, although slightly heavier.
• Urban and Travel Use: This system is particularly suitable for urban environments and for those who travel frequently, due to its portability.
• Base Investment: To get the most out of the convenience and features (especially rotation and i-Level Pro recline in the car), purchasing the Joie i-Base™ Encore ISOFIX base is highly recommended.
