Joie Trillo Booster – Isosafe
Rent a car seat from us at Cape Town International Airport and benefit from our exclusive personalized courier service. We are the only baby gear rental company providing direct deliveries and collections from the airport.
When it comes to Joie car seats, you might come across the terms ISOFIX and ISOSAFE. These refer to different types of connectors.
ISOFIX requires the car seat to be installed using connectors along with a load leg or top tether for added stability.
On the other hand, ISOSAFE, as found in the Joie Trillo, uses connectors primarily to keep the seat stable, but the vehicle's seat belt is used for proper installation.
Many of our booster seats, including the Joie Trillo, feature ISOSAFE for added security.

Booster seats are essential for older children who have outgrown their forward-facing seats. A booster ensures that the vehicle's seat belt fits properly, providing crucial safety as your child grows.
When to Use a Booster Seat
Children whose weight or height exceeds the limits for a forward-facing car safety seat should transition to a belt-positioning booster seat. This typically happens when they reach 4 feet 9 inches in height and are between 8 and 12 years old. However, most children won't properly fit in a vehicle's seat belt without a booster until they are 10 to 11 years old.
It's recommended that all children under the age of 13 should ride in the back seat for added safety.
Signs Your Child Has Outgrown a Forward-Facing Seat
A child has outgrown their forward-facing seat when:
- They reach the top weight or height allowed for the seat with a harness (these limits are found on the seat and in the instruction manual).
- Their shoulders are above the top harness slots.
- The tops of their ears have reached the top of the seat.
Types of Booster Seats
There are two standard types of booster seats: high-back and backless.
- Both types do not come with harness straps but are used with the vehicle's lap and shoulder seat belts, similar to how an adult rides.
- These seats are designed to raise a child so that the seat belt fits correctly over the strongest parts of their body.
Most booster seats rest on the vehicle seat and are held in place once the seat belt is fastened over the child.
However, some models can be secured to the vehicle seat using lower anchors or a top tether for additional stability.
Installation Tips for Booster Seats
When installing a booster seat, always refer to both the vehicle owner's manual and the car seat manual for specific instructions.
- Booster seats often come with a plastic clip or guide to help position the vehicle's lap and shoulder belts correctly.
- Ensure the lap belt lies low and snug across your child's upper thighs and the shoulder belt crosses the middle of your child's chest and shoulder without touching the neck.
If your booster seat has lower anchors or top-tether attachments, follow the manual's instructions for proper installation.
