No, it doesn’t. Rear facing is so much safer than forward, that all harnessed car seats up to 125cm are rear facing only.

Soooo…. Hahahaha! You’re absolutely right, but I made this video when the Minikid fabrics had just been upgraded to the Minikid 2.0. With zips in the cover and Velcro on the straps, for the reasons that you gave. 🤣 The previous version didn’t have any of that and the cover had to be removed in the way that I did it in this video, so that’s what I was used to. I had no idea that the new covers had zips and Velcro until after I’d made this video, hahaha! So yeah, you’re absolutely right, you can leave the screwdriver in the cupboard!

Hi, Thank you for your comment. Welcome to Rear Facing Toddlers.

Thank you, I’m glad you found it helpful!

Thank you very much!

As long as you can turn the airbag off, any belt fitted seat can go in the front seat.

Hi, I’m afraid that the i-Spin 360 is an all-in-one seat, the base is built in.

In some cars the rails are very tight and it can be difficult to get the straps under. I usually manage it with a blunt knife. There are a few other suggestions here: ua-cam.com/video/tDwrKfeHLww/v-deo.html

Thank you so much!

I'm so glad you found my video.

I'm so glad! You're very welcome.

Thank you so much!

You're welcome

Thank you so much!

You're very welcome!

Thank you so much!

You’re very welcome, this is exactly why I made this video.

Yes, they are ISOfix guides for cars where the points are deep down in the upholstery. They are hardly ever needed, I think I’ve only ever fitted them in two cars and I’ve been doing this for 11 years. So you can probably just throw them in the bin.

Not yet. I’ll make one soon.

Not yet I’m afraid. It’s on the list! 😁

Unfortunately yes. I know it’s annoying, but all Joie’s seats do that.

I have to be honest and say that I am not actually sure. I do know that ISOfix seats like these can be a bit too upright in cars with sloped seats.

Thank you! 👍

I'm glad it helped!

Yes it is, mine is a ‘16. The one fits fine too, to be honest, I’ve never tried a seat that didn’t fit in my car.

Hi, Yes that is normal for this seat. I've been selling (different versions of) this seat for 11 years and it's always been like this. In all that time I have only had maybe 10 people say that their child finds it uncomfortable so it's rare, but I have heard it before.

From 0:35 onwards I explain that although some people think that the carry handle is only there to carry the seat, or to hang toys on it, that that is not what it is for. From 3.32 onwards I emphasise the importance of rearding the instructions, and that this video is not intended to replace them.

Thank you so much! That’s very kind of you.

I agree it's definitely not easy...

It has Velcro on the bottom edge and there’s Velcro in the slit in the cover where the buckle comes out. If you stick it together, it should stay in.

@@RearFacingToddlers thank you for confirming it for me. I’ve been searching through manuals & yes it appears to be permanently fixed. Thanks for your help brilliant channel

You obviously tighten the bolt again after you’ve passed the strap under the rail. You need to put the front seat in the correct position before you fasten the strap, so that you won’t need to move the seat back.

No, it doesn't lock. There is a little dip in the middle where it slides into place. It is quite delicate, so children are not supposed to lean on it.

Some cars have flatter seats than others, this seat may be too upright for a newborn baby in cars with sloped seats, but be fine in cars where the seats are flatter.

@@RearFacingToddlers But manufacturer didn't claim it. And how many cars have flat rear seat and how many don't ? Volkswagen hasn't flat seat

Thank you so much, I'm glad you found it helpful. :)

Yes, absolutely. There is a black/yellow line on the foot at the bottom and this line can be at the edge of the vehicle seat for maximum legroom.

The Max-Safe Pro is a bit bigger, but I don't think there's much in it.

Hi, The way to prevent that from happening is to fasten the tether straps first before you do the seat belt. I have shown how to do this on the Britax Max-Way.

The straps that attach to the seat rail are just straps, they don't ratchet. The self-tightening straps are attached to the back of the child seat. Currently the only seats that have self-tightening straps are the Axkid Minikid 2 and Minikid 4, the BeSafe Stretch and the Britax-Römer Max-Safe Pro.

You're very welcome. You will still need a new car seat at some point, but being able to use this seat for longer gives you more time to save up. If you'd like help choosing your next seat, please get in touch nearer the time. :)

You're very welcome!

Thank you so much!

Just wipe it clean with a damp cloth.

@@RearFacingToddlers that's nothing. There are a lot of waste inside the plastic parts. Different kind of smelly liquids and foods, etc. In the meanwhile we have exploded it and cleaned successfully. I hope we can reessamble today or tomorrow. From now on it is an important thing when selecting a new Joie car seat to be properly cleanable, not like our current bad one.

I think all car seats are like that to be honest, lots of spaces where dirt can collect.

@@RearFacingToddlers aucs. That is said then :( Cleaning was also complicated. I tought there is a window on it somewhere to make cleaning possible but there wasn't. While we like our Joie car seat we are disappointed because of this thing.

Thank you so much!

You're welcome!
