Disapponited in Quality
I am disappointed in the quality of this seat. We’ve used it for 5 months and the cloth has worn a hole where my daughter’s feet are. I have a Graco seat hold up through over two years of use between my two sons. I reached out to the company and their only solution was to buy a new cover at my own expense.

Easy Install & Lightweight
Very lightweight and simple install that takes seconds. My baby has looked consistently comfortable and secure in it so far from 8lbs to now 13lbs. The canopy goes down very far, so it’s easy to hide him from oversteppers in the stores during flu/RSV season.

Best Car Seat EVER
We LOVE this car seat!! It is so light, making it so much easier to carry baby and my back doesn’t hurt afterwards. The mint latch is so handy, since you don’t have to switch a car seat base between vehicles. The car seat was so easy to figure out and baby fits so comfortably in the seat. I have recommended this to everyone and they all agree this is the best car seat you can buy - and honestly the best price too!!

Amazing Carseat!
As a first time mom i did so much research on what car seat to get and i always went back to this one! Amazing quality and i love the baseless feature. Even though it’s a little more expensive, I didn’t want to have to buy a base for another car. I also love the joie stroller that you can just click it into as well. I would definitely recommend this car seat!

Evergreen not green at all
Great car seat and easy to install but the evergreen color is 100% not green at all, definitely looks gray and I don’t even see any hint of green on it. Disappointed in the color because I was looking forward to the green like it’s pictured but if you buy it don’t expect a green car seat lol.

Well thought out design and SUPERB quality!
We are having twins and having baseless infant car seats with its own latch system is such a big help for parents especially from moving from one car to another. Not only that, the cushion for the insert is superb! I'm not sure if they mentioned it on the description but the infant insert has a foam insert within it for preterm or small babies to make more comfortable for them. Great job on that Joie! We are so excited to start our new journey with the twins and you will be part of it.

Attn: Twin Moms
I absolutely love the ease of these baseless car seats as a twin mom. However, my biggest problem was finding the right stroller. I ended up purchasing the Mockingbird stroller with the Nuna Pipa RX adapters. I had to play around with the position of the adapters to find the right match for each car seat and then numbered them. Dont make the same mistake I made and waste your money on the Joie adapters as they only work WITHOUT the top and bottom adapters. Hope this helps a fellow twin mom!

So convenient!
We have a lot of people that will be needing to put the carset in their car for childcare and pickups, so I'm excited about the baseless feature. It is easy to install and take out of the car, it even comes with guide clips to make sure the latch easy. We got the Ginger stroller as well that comes with car seat adaptors to attatch the car seat to the stroller. It is not the lightest carseat but is still very managable. I got it during the sale and used the car seat coupoon so the set was a STEAL!

Love it!
We received the travel system for our 3rd baby and we’re obsessed. There is something so freeing about not having to lug around a base, especially for family and sitters to transport baby.

Great carseat but the color is a lie
1000% not green in any way! Was excited for a green tinted carseat to match or theme. But this is not it. Quality is amazing but still annoyed about the color

Almost like a Nuna
Just received my joie mint latch today, baby due in March. Honestly love it! Definitely looks like a Nuna car seat, metal handle, newborn padding, It extends so it protects them more; husband is definitely a fan lol. Can’t wait to use it!

So excited about this one!!
I’m a mom of 3, and I frequently have extra messengers in my Chevy traverse, and moving car seats is stressful. So I bought this one and it is an absolute game-changer. It takes a literal second to click it into place, anywhere I need to put it in my car. I was on the fence about this purchase until it got here and I am thrilled with this. Brilliant. Beyond brilliant. I did not receive this item as part of a promotional thing, but I would absolutely love to try more items from this company because it’s so good.

Easy baby car seat that mom needs
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is just some easy equipments for new moms. I’ve used another brand before and the belt is just very hard to put on. It’s so easy to install on and off the car, and seems super safe. One time baby spill some milk on it and I wipe it with paper wipes. The dirt has been gone so I think it’s pretty easy to clean.

Above and beyond! Althow I would appreciate adapte
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This car seat is amazing - lightweight, comfy for baby, and made with soft fabric. Installation is super easy and doesn’t require a bulky base, which is so convenient. My only gripe is that it’s not compatible with other stroller systems, and no adapters are available yet. Still, a fantastic choice for safety and ease of use!

Best for small car
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Mint Latch Jolie car seat is a safe, comfortable, and easy-to-install option for parents. It features a LATCH system for quick installation, adjustable harness, and a padded seat for comfort. It's very easy to install with the rigid lower anchors that are built into the carrier itself. Especially when you have small car so it doesn’t take a lots of space. It's lightweight and has good safety features, including side impact protection. Overall, it's a reliable choice for parents looking for an affordable and convenient car seat.

Super easy and convenient
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love how this is a baseless product which makes it so easy to travel with. The latch makes it super easy to install. Most important to me is that it’s jmpa certified. I also am super happy with the sun shade. Great car seat all in all

Lightweight no base carseat
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like that this car seat is light weight and does not require a base. It was easy to install and use with our newborn. I do thing the release button to adjust the straps was a bit deep in the seat and hard for me to reach. I also don’t like that it doesn’t come with adapters for common car seats. We have a Bob stroller for jogging/running and this car seat is not compatible with our stroller. I would suggest getting a joie stroller if you want this car seat.
