Joie infant car seats — which strollers take them
Your first Joie: getting started
Pick the part that fits where you are. Everything is in Joie's own words, with the link.
Before you buy
What you get, and which pieces go together.
Which base takes which seat?
- The base AR manual says it fits every Joie infant car seat. Joie manual (PDF)
- Joie sells base AR as a spare base designed for any Joie infant seat, the Mint Latch included (archived Joie page, Sept 2025). Joie product page (archived copy)
Reusing older parts
Second baby, or upgrading one piece: what carries over and what doesn't.
Will parts move between models?
- Joie's rear-facing infant seats (Mint Latch and Rue) fit every Joie stroller (archived Joie FAQ, Sept 2024). Joie help article (archived copy)
Used or passed down
Check these before the first ride.
When does the car seat expire?
- Stop using the Mint Latch 7 years after you bought it. If you don't know the purchase date, count from the manufacture date on the seat. Joie manual (PDF)
- base AR also has a 7-year life from purchase. If the purchase date is unknown, use the manufacture date on the base. Joie manual (PDF)
How do I hear about a recall?
- Register a Joie car seat by phone at 1-866-798-7866 or online at joiebaby.com/us/register-car-seat. Joie manual (PDF)
- For registration you'll need the model number, serial number and date of manufacture. They're on the registration card and on a white label on the back or bottom of the seat (archived Joie page). Joie product page (archived copy)
Care and warranty
Keeping it clean, and what the maker covers.
How do I clean it?
- All Joie gear can be spot cleaned, and car seat fabrics can go in the washing machine and then air dry. Other products have their own washing labels. Joie help article (archived copy)
- Never use bleach or other harsh chemicals anywhere on the Mint Latch. Joie manual (PDF)
What does the warranty cover?
- Joie gives a 1-year limited warranty on all its products, starting on the purchase date. It ends if the product is sold or given to someone else (archived Joie US warranty page, Sept 2026). Joie product page (archived copy)

Common Joie problems and the maker's answers
- Stop using the seat right away.
- Contact Joie for replacement parts (US consumer service: 1-866-798-7866, info.us@joiebaby.com).
- Check regularly that everything on the seat works properly.
- Dirt in the harness adjustment button and strap can stop the harness from holding; Joie says to clean them.
- Take the fabric off the front of the seat to reach the adjustment button.
- Push down the lever on the back of the button to open it, and pull the strap out a little to loosen debris.
- Brush it clean with a soft nylon brush, or use a vacuum, damp cloth or flat plastic edge. Never use a sharp or metal tool.
- Test the harness, put the fabric back on, and test again.
- Rinse the buckle and chest clip by hand in warm water only, then let them air dry.
- Do not use soap, solvents or lubricants on the buckle or chest clip; Joie says they can make them malfunction.
- Wipe the harness and LATCH straps with a soft damp cloth and mild detergent.
- Do not soak or saturate the harness or LATCH straps.
- For the seat pads, follow the washing and drying instructions on the care label sewn to the fabric.
- Do not try to remove the foam or tape under the seat pad.
- Clean the shell, base and foams with mild detergent, water and a soft cloth, then air dry.
- Never use bleach or other harsh chemicals anywhere on the seat.
- Stop using the seat 7 years after the original purchase date.
- If you don't know when it was bought, count from the manufacture date printed on the seat.
- After that date, stop using it and dispose of it.
- The infant seat attaches to Joie strollers either with adapters or on the stroller's armbar.
- Joie includes the adapters with its strollers, so you should not need to buy them separately.
- On the plastic parts, use a damp cloth with a little pH-neutral soap if needed.
- Do not soak, hose down or power wash the seat.
- Do not use chemical disinfectants; Joie suggests setting the seat in sunlight briefly instead.
- Keep sun exposure short, since long exposure can fade and weaken the materials.
- Joie gear has a 1-year warranty from the day it was purchased.
- Before contacting Joie, have your sales receipt or proof of purchase, the model number and the serial number ready.
- If a defect is found within the warranty period, Joie decides whether to repair or replace the product at no cost to you.
