What is ISOSAFE and How Does It Work?
The joie trillo features ISOSAFE connectors—a system designed to lock the seat securely to your vehicle’s ISOFIX anchor points. Unlike full ISOFIX systems that require a load leg or top tether for stability, ISOSAFE is primarily used for extra stability and reduced seat movement, while the vehicle’s 3-point seat belt remains the main method of securing your child.
This combination offers the safety benefits of a fixed-position seat without the complexity of a full ISOFIX installation, making it quicker to set up and easier to transfer between cars.

Statistics show that children seated in a booster seat, such as the joie trillo, are 45% less likely to be injured in a crash compared to those using only a seat belt. The joie trillo offers:
-
Side Impact Protection: Shields your child’s head, body, and hips in the event of a side collision.
-
Highback Protection: Ensures the seat belt remains correctly positioned and provides additional head and neck support.
-
Color-Coded Belt Guides: Help you position the seat belt correctly for maximum safety.

When and Why to Use a Booster Seat
A booster seat is essential when your child has outgrown their forward-facing harnessed seat but is still too small for the vehicle’s seat belt to fit safely. Most children transition to a booster around 4 years old and continue using it until 10–12 years old or until they reach 145 cm (4 ft 9 in).
Without a booster, the seat belt often sits too high on the stomach or neck, increasing the risk of injury in a crash. A booster positions the belt across the strongest parts of the body—the upper thighs and chest—for maximum protection.
Highback vs. Backless Boosters
Booster seats come in two main styles:
-
Highback Boosters (like the joie trillo) provide added head, neck, and side protection, making them ideal for younger booster-age children or long journeys.
-
Backless Boosters are more portable but offer less protection.
The joie trillo’s highback design, combined with side impact protection, makes it one of the safest and most comfortable options available.
Installation Tips for the Joie Trillo
-
Place the booster in a forward-facing position in the back seat.
-
Attach the ISOSAFE connectors to the vehicle’s ISOFIX anchor points for added stability.
-
Position the vehicle’s seat belt through the color-coded guides.
-
Ensure the lap belt is low across your child’s upper thighs and the shoulder belt sits across the middle of the shoulder, not the neck.
Always refer to the joie trillo user manual and your vehicle’s owner manual for correct installation.
