Designed for parents seeking both advanced safety and unparalleled convenience, the Joie i-Spin 360 i-Size 0+1 Car Seat offers a seamless transition from newborn to toddler stages, accommodating children from birth up to approximately four years old (40-105cm). Its primary benefit lies in the 360-degree rotating seat, simplifying child loading and unloading significantly. While providing top-tier i-Size safety and extended rearward-facing capabilities, users should note that its integrated ISOFIX base makes it a heavier, non-portable option not suitable for seatbelt installation or travel systems.

Extended Rearward Facing: Allows children to travel rearward-facing up to 105cm (approximately 4 years), which is scientifically proven to be the safest travel orientation, especially for developing spines and heads.
Guard Surround Safety™ Panels: Auto-engaging side impact protection wings that deploy when the harness is tightened, absorbing energy in the event of a side collision.

The Joie i-Spin 360 excels in offering a blend of safety, convenience, and comfort for families on the go. Its 360° swivel is a game-changer for daily routines, allowing parents to easily position their child towards the door for buckling up, then simply rotating the seat to the desired rearward or forward-facing position. This feature is particularly useful in tight parking spots or when carrying a sleeping child.
From a safety perspective, the i-Size standard ensures rigorous crash test performance, and the option to keep your child rearward-facing up to 105cm provides optimal protection for their developing body. The Guard Surround Safety™ panels automatically engage upon harness tightening, offering peace of mind with enhanced side impact protection.
For comfort, the multiple recline positions are crucial for long journeys, allowing your child to sleep comfortably without their head slumping. The Grow Together™ system simplifies adjustments, ensuring the harness is always at the correct height relative to the headrest, which is vital for both comfort and safety. The newborn insert provides essential support for the smallest passengers, ensuring they are snug and secure from day one.
Installation is straightforward with ISOFIX connectors and a support leg, featuring clear green/red indicators to confirm correct fitting. Once installed, the seat remains firmly anchored, offering a stable and secure ride for your child. Parents will appreciate the reduced effort in securing their child and the reassurance of high safety standards, making daily commutes and longer trips more pleasant for both child and caregiver.
