Joie Kava and Mint Travel System - Dove

The strollers wheel is very smooth and so far I love my stroller.

love this stroller it so lightweight & easy to use my newborn loves it

The carseat box was in perfect condition but the stroller box was super damaged as you can see in the picture. Its disapointment because you spen yhat much money its to have no issues at all

Okay to be honest, I am not one that normally leaves reviews of products, but I am so impressed with this car seat and stroller duo that I have to leave one for other parents out there. First the car seat, once you practice and get the hang of inserting the latch into the seat, it is so seamless and easy, especially for parents who may go from car to car OR have smaller/older cars where having a base would take up more room in the backseat. We really love the baseless feature and could not recommend it more. Now the stroller is also so easy to use, it folds up so nicely and is doable with one hand. And I love how it strolls, the wheels provide a smooth ride/push and are very sturdy. We have traveled through the airport with them both and had a great experience. We are very impressed with Joie and are pleased with our decision of the kava and mint latch.

Good

Love it. Stylish yet so useful extended canopy Won me over

This is my first child and first stroller/car seat. When I was looking, I was looking for ease of use and that is exactly what I got! This is the BEST stroller and car seat! I LOVE how easy the car seat just clicks right in to any vehicle, making it easy to switch vehicles. This was a must as my mom watches my baby multiple days a week, and transferring a base or buying a second base can be costly and take time! The stroller closes with one tug on the strap, and I can do everything one-handed if I want! I am beyond happy with this purchase and will stick with Joie when we decide to add to our family!

This stroller is beautiful, but uncomfortable. But brake button is very noisy when used and scares my newborn baby. And every time when I insert car seat on the base of the stroller, it is not always immediately inserted, you have to lift and insert it 3-4 times. It's very hard for me to do it alone, despite the fact that the child can be in my arms. I bought target, and I don’t know can I return the stroller; but I read target can accept unused item, its problem for me, because I used this travel system yet. I’m so upset.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like the Joie kava and mint latch system. Using this stroller makes me feel good, it gives me a feel of luxury and I love the features and ease of use. It is very easy to clean, the material is very strong, I can open and close the stroller with ease and installing the car seat is very simple and it’s secure. I really enjoy using this stroller and every time I go out I look forward to taking it out and using it. The wheels turn easily and gives and smooth ride and the adjustable height on the handle means my husband doesn’t have to bend over to use it. It’s a great travel system and I would definitely recommend it to anyone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have been enjoying our joie stroller and car seat. Its easy latch system makes installing a breeze. The seats are comfortable and the straps are easily adjustable. The stroller is heavy duty and lightweight.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow! Talk about a nice ride for your kiddo. This has one of the softest and secure car seats and I love the versatility of the stroller! Can’t wait to see how it does on walks.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the best travel system ever! The car seat installation is absolutely a dream, it just click click and you’re done, after having a baby you need car seat to be lightweight! and of course, the stroller, the quality the movements absolutely incredible. Plus storage space and little bag, stole my heart!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Joie car seat is very lightweight I like the color. The material is so comfortable and soft. The stroller is amazing and gives a high end look with the leather handles. It is very easy to use and to fold. I also love that it comes with an attachment that gives more comfort on there backs. It also comes with a cup holder and a mini bag to add at the bottom for extra storage. The stroller rides very smoothly when walking on the side walk.

I bought the Kava and Mint Latch system about four months ago. After reading many positive reviews, I was sure it was exactly what I needed — but in the end, I was a bit disappointed. For the price, you get a stylish stroller and a car seat without a base, which, in my opinion, is one of the most convenient features of this system. The stroller is a bit heavy, but that’s normal for a full-sized model. However, if you’re petite (like me), carrying it up the stairs is quite a challenge. It’s something to keep in mind. I chose the “Dove” color, and it pleasantly surprised me — it turned out to be much less prone to stains than I expected. Even after several months, it still looks great. The cup holder also turned out to be a useful little feature — really convenient! I read that this system is similar to the Nuna brand and practically has no differences from it. Well — it only looks similar on the outside. When it comes to materials, build quality, and overall comfort — in my opinion, the difference is quite noticeable. The contrast is clear, especially if you’re familiar with the original. Now about the downsides: There was quite a strong chemical smell when unpacking, but it aired out after a few hours. After just two months of light use, the handle and base started to squeak. The squeaking is audible even with slight movement — the noise is loud enough to wake a sleeping baby and attract attention from people around. It’s impossible to ignore, and for me, that’s a serious downside. Maybe it’s just my unit, but it’s still unpleasant. The car seat, without the infant inserts, turned out to be more upright than I expected. My child quickly outgrew the inserts, and I wish the transition from the inserts to the regular seat was smoother and softer — especially for babies who can’t yet hold their heads up or sit on their own. Overall, the system has many advantages and convenient features, but there are also some design flaws you should be aware of before buying.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What a great quality product! This carseat and stroller feel really high quality and are very visually appealing. They look sleek. I love the ease of not having to install a base into the car for the carseat, it is one of my favorite features! Its nice that the carseat is able to click into the stroller or you can use the other seat it comes with. The super long sun shade is a really great feature, because i feel like stroller shades never come down that low and actually fully cover the baby. I love how it even shades the baby when the baby is laying down! The detachable fanny pack bag is another amazing feature. Its really convenient that you can have it attached to the stroller with all the things you need in it and then you can easily detach it and put a strap on it to carry it inside, so that you dont have to transfer the things you need to a different bag. The breaks on the stroller work really well and feel really secure as well. Its pretty easy to fold up too and you can fold it up with the seat still in, so you dont have to detach it first.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m so glad for this car seat and stroller travel system! The stroller is super simple to fold up (even when I only have one hand free) and it fits perfectly in my trunk without taking up too much space. The car seat clicks in and out of the base and stroller really smoothly, which has been a huge help when I’m running errands or the baby falls asleep in the car. I also love that the stroller pushes easily and feels sturdy, even when I’m on bumpy sidewalks. The car seat itself feels very secure, and my baby seems really comfortable in it. The extra storage underneath is great for my diaper bag, and the canopy gives good sun coverage. Honestly, it makes getting around with my baby so much easier. Totally worth it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Joie Kava and Mint Latch is such a luxurious travel system with convenience in mind. First, the style of the stroller is eye catching. I received the stroller in a dark gray color which pairs nicely with the black car seat. The stroller has soft light brown leather (or like leather) accents. The stroller glides nicely across all surfaces and is easy to brake. The stroller was easy to assemble. Second, the convenience of the stroller. It folds and unfolds very easily. It folds up compactly enough that I think it would fit it any vehicle’s trunk. The stroller comes with a detachable diaper crossbody bag that I think is a genius feature. I was amazed at how light the Mint Latch car seat is. I can easily pick up the car seat one handed. The car seat is baseless. I think this is a wonderful feature, especially in households with more than one vehicle.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this. I was excited to use this for my 4 month old baby. This is exactly what I’m looking for but thankfully gifted by this brand. It’s very convenient to use. It’s also nice for roadtrip travel. It’s sturdy and tires are smooth ride. My baby feels cozy with the car seat.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Where do I start? This set is the cutest and it reminds me of nuna (with my first I had one). The wheels are nice and smooth, it’s not super heavy, the car seat is very light! You can latch the car seat into the stroller and it’s super easy to do! The colors it comes in are so cute. There was no scent right out of the box which I love!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really do love this car seat/stroller combo. It's soft and looks pretty. I liked that it was easy to switch from stroller to car seat mode. I wish it came with a basket instead of a bag though. I liked that the handlebars got longer but I wish it would come down a little because it was too high up for me. I did love that the basket under the stroller was big, lots of space for the diaper bag. The cupholder was a great bonus.
