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

• Prioritizing Compactness and Lightness: The Parcel LX Signature is ideal if you need an extremely lightweight stroller with an ultra-compact folding design that's easy to carry, whether for everyday use, public transportation, or travel. Signature finishes add a touch of luxury.
• Non-Reversible Seat: The Parcel seat is fixed, facing forward.
• Egg Choice:
  • Joie Sprint R129: If maximum lightness of the egg is crucial and you want a modular system with the Encore base (for rotation and potential use with the next compatible chair), the Sprint is an excellent choice R129.
  • Joie i-Level Pro: If maximum postural comfort for your baby, with the option of deep reclining in the car (with the Encore base) and in the stroller, is your priority, the i-Level Pro is superior, despite being a little heavier.
• Urban Use and Travel: This system is particularly suitable for urban environments and for those who travel frequently, due to its portability.
• Base Investment: To fully benefit from the convenience and features (especially rotation and reclining of the i-Level Pro in the car), purchasing the Joie i-Base™ Encore ISOFIX base is highly recommended.
