Rock-solid connection between car and seat.

Quick, easy, and secure installation.

Why First-Time Parents Should Consider Renting an Infant Car Seat
For first-time parents, preparing for a new baby often feels overwhelming. Between learning how to care for a newborn, setting up a nursery, and budgeting for countless essentials, the list of responsibilities can seem endless. One of the most important purchases—or rentals—you’ll need to make is an infant car seat. While many assume buying is the only option, renting an infant car seat can be a smart, cost-effective, and practical choice, especially for those navigating parenthood for the first time.
1. Babies Outgrow Infant Car Seats Quickly
Infant car seats, such as those compatible with the Joie ClickFIT Base, are designed for newborns up to around 13kg (typically 12–15 months). However, most babies outgrow them even sooner—often around 6–9 months depending on growth rate, height, and weight.
This means that what feels like a significant purchase is actually a short-term item. Parents may find themselves having invested in a product that is only usable for a few months before needing to transition to a larger, convertible car seat. Renting allows families to access the same high-quality safety gear without the financial burden of buying something that won’t last long.
2. Cost-Effective for Short-Term Use
A brand-new infant car seat and base can cost several thousand rand, which is a big investment considering its limited usage time. Renting provides first-time parents with an affordable way to get the best equipment for their baby without overspending.
This is especially useful for parents who:
-
Only need the seat for the first 6–9 months.
-
Plan to upgrade to a long-term car seat later.
-
Want to “test drive” a model before committing to purchase.
Instead of tying up money in baby gear that will soon be outgrown, renting allows parents to allocate funds toward other pressing needs—such as nappies, formula, strollers, or childcare.
3. Convenience for Travel and Visitors
Renting is also practical for families traveling with a baby. If you’re visiting Cape Town, for instance, renting a Joie ClickFIT Seatbelt Base and infant seat at the airport eliminates the hassle of lugging bulky baby gear on flights. For grandparents or relatives who only occasionally look after the baby, renting a base or seat ensures they always have safe transport equipment without the need to buy their own.
4. Guaranteed Safety Standards
First-time parents may not know that second-hand car seats are often discouraged unless the full history of the seat is known. If a seat has been in an accident—even a minor one—it may no longer be safe. Renting from a trusted provider ensures the seat has been safety-checked, deep-cleaned, and certified to meet regulations, giving parents peace of mind that their child is protected.
5. Flexibility and Adaptability
Babies grow at different rates. Some may outgrow their infant car seat in as little as five months, while others fit comfortably for a full year. Renting allows parents to adapt their gear to their child’s needs without being stuck with equipment they no longer use.
Instead of worrying about reselling or storing an outgrown seat, parents can simply return it and transition to the next stage.
6. Less Clutter, More Practicality
First-time parents are often surprised at how much space baby gear takes up. Between the cot, pram, feeding chairs, and playpens, storage quickly becomes an issue. Renting larger items such as an infant car seat means less long-term clutter and more space in your home.
7. Eco-Friendly Choice
Renting is also an environmentally responsible option. By reusing high-quality products instead of buying new, families reduce waste and contribute to a more sustainable parenting lifestyle.
Final Thoughts
The Joie i-Base Advance offers the perfect balance of safety, ease, and versatility. With its ISOFIX installation, built-in safety features, and compatibility with multiple Joie car seats, it’s an investment in peace of mind.
But instead of buying a base your baby will quickly outgrow, renting allows you to enjoy all the benefits at a fraction of the cost. Whether you’re a new parent, a visiting family, or a caregiver looking for a reliable solution, renting the Joie i-Base Advance is the smart choice.
Don’t compromise on safety—rent the Joie i-Base Advance today and ensure every journey with your little one is safe, simple, and stress-free.
