Joie Elevate R129 Toddler to Booster Car Seat - S
Bought for my precious granddaughter. Such good value.

car seat
I am very pleased with this car seat. It is solidly built, comfortable for the child, and very easy to install. The safety harness holds securely, and the adjustable headrest and backrest allow the seat to grow with the child. The fabric is pleasant to the touch and easy to keep clean. My child sits comfortably and feels safe during the ride. I definitely recommend this car seat to any parent looking for a combination of safety, comfort, and high quality.

Exactly as pictured
Exactly as expected. Older child is too tall for the harness so we tried to remove them, this took half and hour. This shows how safe the harness is for the younger children. Headrest is adjustable, my children sit in between a setting so I’ve had to set it a little higher than where it is recommended as the lower setting is too low. There is minimal cushioning but is enough to cover the seat effectively. It’s easy to install in the car and is easy to remove and replace the covers if they get dirty.

Easy to fit and remove, good height adjustment. Doesn't swivel but not really a problem for the price. Drinks holder handy for child.

Great value for money
Delighted with our new purchase, easy to assemble and install - the first grandson to use is thrilled he's in a big boy car seat like his older sister! The choice of the two harnesses means it's great value for money and will see the grandchildren through to 12!!

Hello Jan,
It's fairly easy to transport.
Weight: 5.5kg
Dimensions: H59.5 x W47.5 x D50cm
So, it is manageable to carry when needed, though it's still a proper car seat rather than a lightweight travel item.
Thank you for using Q&A.
