- Does the Joie Chive work for newborns?
- No. It is a forward-facing combination seat, so it starts with a harness for toddlers and moves to a booster. Infants need a rear-facing infant or convertible seat.
- How long does the Chive last?
- It covers the harness years and then converts to a belt-positioning booster, so one seat can serve from toddler through school age. Check the height and weight limits in the manual for each mode.
- Can I use it in a booster mode with a lap-only belt?
- No. Booster mode needs a lap-and-shoulder belt to route across the child correctly. Lap-only belts are not suitable.
- Is it easy to install with LATCH?
- Yes, the LATCH path is straightforward, and the seat is light enough to lift into place. The manual's diagrams are basic, so follow the printed steps carefully.
- Does it fit three across in a back seat?
- It is fairly wide, so three across is tight in compact cars. Measure your back seat before buying if you need to fit other seats beside it.
- Where is the Joie Chive Car Seat cheapest?
- At Target, for $179.99, as of our latest check.
