Overview
Highlights
- Includes rear-facing infant car seat and base
- For 4-30 lbs
- Anti-rebound bar
Description
Rue features removable three-piece inserts with comfy head support, body support and an infant wedge, along with breathable knit fabrics. The UPF 50+ canopy protects skin and adds extra privacy.
For grown-ups, the ergonomic handle has an adjustable positioning to make toting more comfortable. When there’s a mess, the removable cover is easy to take off for machine washing.
The compatible base includes built-in lower anchor attachments that lock firmly to your vehicle’s points, so installation is both quick and secure.
To create a travel system, Rue connects to most Joie strollers with adapters (or directly to the arm bar on Nutmeg) so you can switch between driving and walking without disturbing baby.
Rue has an anti-rebound bar built into the base to reduce movement in the event of a crash. Rue is also tested to the newest safety standards (FMVSS 213a and 213b) with side impact protection.

Amazingly perfect
This review was collected as part of a promotion
Love this Joie car seat now all I have to do is get the stroller. Appears to be very comfortable for my baby girl. Has the newborn inserts which is perfect. Material is very soft and cushiony, she fits perfectly. Has neck support so her neck does not hang forward like it did in another car seat that we have ( hated the baby trend car seat). Easy to put together in car. Very simple to detach car seat from base. Not complicated to adjust straps like how some other brands can be. Car seat is very…

it is so lightweight which is so perfect for me and i love the padding it has, definitely protects baby and it such a easy install. i also really like how far the canopy extends as actually covers baby from the sun but also has breathable mesh so baby doesn’t get overly hot. i love love this car seat as a first time mom i got this along with the joie ginger LX stroller and i’m in loveeee definitely recommend

Would buy a million times
I bought this seat for my son who was born in February. Recently we were in a car accident and because of the rue and him being properly secured he was unscathed. I love this brand.

Very happy with this seat
I spent months researching and was torn between this seat and a doona. I was unable to see this seat in person but after seeing the doona In person we decided against it and went with a joie travel system. Best decision! It's super cushy, my son loves being In it. Unfortunately he's growing so fast and will max out on height in a few months but Ive already decided to stick with joie and buy the saffron si.

Simple and Lightweight!
This review was collected as part of a promotion
I received the Joie Rue car seat to try in exchange for my honest review. I was so excited to have the opportunity to try the Joie brand bc I had heard nothing but positive feedback in all my baby research, and I can confirm, this car seat was great!
The Rue is super lightweight and simple. The fabric looks and feels nice. The base includes an anti-rebound bar and the car seat includes infant inserts (which we did not need) and a 5-point harness. We connected the base using the LATCH…

Good infant carseat

Lightweight car seat perfect for an infant. It includes a base to easily install into the car. I liked the all black looks the visor blocks the sun out. Baby seemed comfortable.

I wanted to love this, but...
I never write reviews for any products but I felt compelled to share my thoughts on this. My wife and I purchased this car seat after doing hours and hours of research. We were so excited. However, after we installed it in our vehicle, it just doesn't feel very secure. I wanted to love this so much as the lightweight body is wonderful for carrying but I just can't, in good conscience, put my baby in an infant seat that slides back and forth so much to the left & right. We even took it to the…

The Car Seat Best For Baby & Caretaker!
This review was collected as part of a promotion
This super-light infant car seat makes transporting baby practically effortless & it comes with compatible base. Everything you need in one box! The anti-rebound bar built into base absorbs rotational forces that push a child forward during a crash & has 5 point harness restrains! Removable 3-piece inserts with head & body support and infant wedge can be tweaked on the go so your growing baby is snuggled in safely, not slumped or scrunched & lets baby’s skin breathe! The ergonomic handle…
