Joie is a family-focused baby gear brand known for creating practical, feature-packed products at an approachable price point. From infant car seats and strollers to high chairs and playards, Joie designs gear that helps make everyday life with little ones easier, safer, and more convenient.

One of the most popular ways to get started with Joie is through a travel system. Joie travel systems pair an infant car seat with a compatible stroller, giving parents a seamless way to move from car to stroller without disturbing a sleeping baby.

With two infant car seat options and seven stroller choices available, finding the right combination can feel overwhelming. Rather than looking at every travel system package individually, this guide breaks down the decision into two simple steps:

1. Choose your infant car seat.
2. Choose the stroller that best fits your lifestyle.

Whether you're looking for a lightweight travel stroller, an everyday full-size stroller, or a travel system that can grow with your family, we'll help you find the best Joie travel system for your needs.

Step 1: Choose Your Infant Car Seat

A. Joie Rue: Lightweight

The Joie Rue is Joie’s lightest infant car seat, weighing just 7.8 pounds, making it easy to carry from the car to the stroller and beyond. The Rue includes a dedicated car seat base, allowing parents to quickly click the seat in and out of the vehicle without reinstalling it each time. Additional bases are available separately, making it a convenient option for families with multiple vehicles or caregivers. When traveling, the Rue can also be installed without the base using the vehicle seat belt.

Designed with comfort in mind, the Rue features soft, breathable knit fabrics and a three-piece removable infant insert to help provide a secure fit for newborns. The large UPF 50+ canopy offers plenty of coverage from the sun, while the 3-position ergonomic carry handle makes transporting the seat more comfortable. All fabrics are removable and machine washable for easy cleanup, and the Rue is FAA-approved for air travel.

The included base adds several convenience and safety features, including an anti-rebound panel, push-button lower anchor connectors, and a LockTight belt tensioner to help achieve a secure installation. Parents can install the base using either the vehicle seat belt or lower anchors.

The Joie Mint Latch is designed for families who want a quick, convenient way to travel with their baby. Weighing just 9.3 pounds, this innovative infant car seat installs without a traditional base, making it especially appealing for city families, rideshare users, frequent travelers, and parents who are often moving between vehicles. Instead, the Mint Latch features built-in rigid lower anchor connectors that click directly into your vehicle's anchor points for a secure installation in seconds.

The rigid lower anchor connectors can be adjusted to three different angles to help achieve the proper fit in a variety of vehicles. Audible clicks and color-coded indicators provide added confidence that the seat is securely connected. For families who would prefer a more traditional setup at times, the Mint Latch is also compatible with the Joie AR Base, sold separately.

Designed with both comfort and convenience in mind, the Mint Latch includes a UPF 50+ extendable canopy for added sun protection and removable infant inserts to help create a snug fit for newborns. Soft seat fabrics are gentle on baby's skin and can be removed and machine washed when needed.
