Multi-Stage Flexibility – One Car Seat for Every Age
The Joie Stages FX adapts as your child grows, providing three modes of use:
-
Rear-Facing Mode (0–18 kg | Birth – 4 years approx.)
Rear-facing is the safest position for young children. It reduces stress on the neck and spine in a collision. The Joie Stages FX allows extended rear-facing use up to 18 kg, giving your baby maximum protection. -
Forward-Facing with Harness (9–18 kg | 1–4 years approx.)
Once your child is ready, the Joie Stages FX can be installed forward-facing with the built-in 5-point harness, ensuring security and comfort as they grow. -
High-Back Booster Mode (15–25 kg | Up to 7 years approx.)
The seat transitions to a high-back booster that uses the vehicle’s seat belt, providing continued support and side impact protection.
This 3-in-1 adaptability makes the Joie Stages FX a long-term, cost-effective rental option.
Safety First – Built with Advanced Protection
Child safety is at the heart of the Joie Stages FX design. It meets and exceeds European safety standards (ECE R44/04) and includes several protective features:
-
Side Impact Security: Protects your child’s head, body, and hips in the event of a side collision.
-
Baby Armour Steel Frame: Reinforces the seat structure for extra strength and stability.
-
Five-Point Harness: Keeps your child safely secured at five contact points, spreading crash forces evenly.
-
ISOFIX Installation: Offers a solid, permanent connection between the car seat and the vehicle for Group 1, reducing the risk of incorrect installation.
-
Harness Hideaway Storage: Safely stores the harness when transitioning to booster mode.
With the Joie Stages FX, safety is never compromised.
Everyday Comfort for Children
Car journeys are easier when kids are comfortable. The Joie Stages FX includes features designed to keep children happy and relaxed:
-
Plush padding and harness covers – soft materials prevent irritation and provide coziness.
-
Breathable fabrics and ventilation – regulate airflow and reduce overheating.
-
Adjustable headrest with 10 positions – grows with your child and adjusts with one hand.
-
6 recline positions – two rear-facing and four forward-facing options for naps and travel.
-
Newborn insert – provides extra support and comfort for babies under 9 kg.
Whether you’re making a short trip or a long family drive, the Joie Stages FX ensures your child enjoys the ride.
ISOFIX vs. Seat Belt Installation – Which is Better?
Parents often wonder whether ISOFIX or seat belt installation is safer. The truth is: both methods are safe if installed correctly. However, ISOFIX offers significant advantages.
Advantages of ISOFIX (like on the Joie Stages FX):
-
Reduces installation errors – provides a firm, permanent connection between car seat and vehicle.
-
Proven safety – performs exceptionally well in crash tests.
-
Quick installation – saves time and ensures correct setup.
Limitations of ISOFIX:
-
Not all cars are equipped with ISOFIX anchors.
-
Slightly heavier and more costly compared to belt-based seats.
Advantages of Seat Belt Installation:
-
Universally compatible with nearly all vehicles.
-
Flexible for moving between cars.
Drawbacks:
-
Higher risk of incorrect installation (up to 8 in 10 parents make mistakes).
With the Joie Stages FX, you get the best of both worlds: ISOFIX installation for Group 1 (9–18 kg) and belt installation for Groups 0+ and 2, making it versatile and convenient.

Why You Should Rent a Car Seat When Traveling
Traveling with children often comes with extra planning, and one of the most important considerations is car safety. Whether you’re flying into Cape Town for a holiday, visiting family, or traveling for work with your little ones, renting a car seat is one of the smartest decisions you can make. Here’s why:
1. Convenience and Stress-Free Travel
Bringing your own car seat through airports can be exhausting. They are bulky, heavy, and awkward to carry while juggling luggage and children. Renting eliminates that hassle. Instead of worrying about checking in your car seat, waiting for oversized baggage, or risking damage during transit, you simply arrive at your destination and have a ready-to-use, high-quality seat waiting for you.
2. Guaranteed Safety Standards
When you rent a car seat from a trusted provider, you’re guaranteed a seat that complies with international safety standards and has been professionally maintained. Many parents are unaware that airline damage to a personal car seat can compromise its safety without obvious signs. Renting ensures you get a seat in top condition, designed to provide maximum protection without the risks of wear and tear from frequent travel.
3. Cost-Effective Solution
Buying multiple car seats for different stages of your child’s growth is already a big investment. Adding the cost of checking in your own seat, renting one from a car hire company, or even replacing a damaged one can make travel unnecessarily expensive. Renting locally is cost-effective: you pay only for the duration you need, without any long-term commitment.
4. Tailored to Your Child’s Age and Size
One of the main benefits of renting is the flexibility to choose a seat that perfectly matches your child’s weight, height, and age. Whether you need a rear-facing infant seat, a versatile 3-in-1 like the Joie Stages FX, or a booster seat for an older child, rental options make it easy to get exactly what you need—without compromise.
5. No Compromises on Comfort
Children spend long hours in car seats during holidays—whether on road trips, day excursions, or family visits. Rental seats are designed with plush padding, ventilation, and adjustable positions to keep kids comfortable and happy. This makes for smoother, stress-free journeys for both children and parents.
6. Peace of Mind with Airport Delivery
The biggest advantage of renting through a specialized baby gear rental company is the ease of airport delivery. You step off your flight and have your child’s car seat delivered directly to Cape Town International Airport, saving you the stress of searching for one last-minute. Personalized courier services mean no waiting, no confusion, and complete peace of mind.
7. Safer Than Taxis Without Seats
In many destinations, taxis and rideshares don’t provide child seats, which can leave families in unsafe situations. Renting ensures that no matter how you travel—rental car, shuttle, or private transfer—your child has the protection they need.
