Overview

Installing with the vehicle seat belt, the Joie Rue is a rear-facing infant seat sold with an anti-rebound base, covered in polyester.

A base and seat pair suits a parent who wants an infant seat belted in and ready for rides from the newborn stage. The limitation is how much stays unstated: height limits, harness and canopy are all missing.

Who it's for

Parents preparing for a newborn who plan to belt the base into the car can follow the listing. A toddler household, or a buyer who needs published height limits, should look at another kind of seat.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Rear-facing infant design
  • Anti-rebound base named
  • Seat belt installation
  • Covers newborn stage
Cons
  • Latch not listed
  • Height limits missing
  • Short use at this weight limit

Performance notes

An anti-rebound base is meant to limit how far the seat moves back toward the vehicle seat after a frontal impact, which is the mechanism the name describes. It depends on correct belt routing and a tight fit, and the listing offers no further install steps.
