  • This carrier clicks onto a compatible Joie stroller so you can switch between driving and walking in seconds without disturbing baby!

Description

Your infant car seat shouldn’t weigh you down... Travel light with Rue™ ! At just 7.8 lb., this featherweight is super easy to lift in and out of the car and on and off your stroller. And while it’s light on your arm (and on your wallet!), it’s not short on perks: Rue™ comes with a compatible anti-rebound base and features a full coverage canopy. Most importantly, it is tested to the newest safety standards, so you can be sure that it’s heavy on security, even if it’s not big in bulk. Rue is tested to the newest safety standards (FMVSS 213a and 213b) with side impact protection to keep your baby riding in the future of safety.

Safety
• Rue meets the newest, standards for side and frontal impact protection to shield your child from crash forces that could occur during a crash
•Strong but still snuggly, the 5-point harness restrains your child on their sturdiest body parts (hips and shoulders) for better protection during a crash.
• The anti-rebound bar built into the base keeps the car seat firmly in place and reduces the movement of the car seat toward the back of the vehicle
• The compatible base includes built-in lower anchor attachments that lock firmly to your vehicle’s points, so installation is both quick and super secure.

Comfort
• Removable 3-piece inserts with head support, body support and infant wedge can be tweaked on the go so your growing baby is snuggled in safely, not slumped or scrunched.
• Baby can cozy up in the lap of luxury from day one with super-soft cushioning and knit fabrics that let their sensitive skin breathe.
• The ergonomic handle features a soft grip and adjustable positioning so toting your infant seat is easy on the arms, hands and back.

Convenience
• Connects to most Joie strollers with adapters (or directly to the arm bar on Nutmeg™) so you can switch between driving and walking in seconds – and without disturbing baby!
• The removable cover/cushioning go right on and off the seat so you can shake out any crumbs and let the washing machine take care of the rest.

Installation
• Comes with compatible base included in the box – no separate purchase necessary.
• Multiple installation options make it easy to install in almost any vehicle.

    Don't reccomend

    Our baby doesn’t like this car seat and she blows bubbles because she can’t breathe right in it. She can’t turn her head either. It’s awful. We love the stroller, but the car seat is just not it.

    Pass

    We’ve used this car seat for 4 months and the fabric is already pilling. I also hate the canopy; it’s practically useless and doesn’t extend far enough to actually be useful. Overall, I would not recommend.

    Do not buy if you have a small baby

    I bought this car seat after reading good reviews about it. However, once our daughter was here, this car seat has been awful. She is on the smaller side and her chin is constantly on her chest in the car seat. She screams the entire car ride, is unable to move her neck, and occasionally chokes. This is a huge safety concern. At first, I thought maybe this was just how it is for newborns, but after doing more research, I discovered other people have had the same issue. We ended up having to purchase another brand car seat for our girl. Total waste of money and do not recommend!!!

    Stylish, smooth and comfortable!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This stroller system looks absolutely beautiful and chic. It definitely looks higher end and the quality is amazing. I like that it’s not big and bulky like other strollers we’ve tried in the past. The stroller pushes smoothly and it’s not too heavy, but it also feels very safe to use for my 1 year old. Folding it is also very easy and not complicated at all. The material feels so nice and comfortable for my little ones. It’s also SUPER easy to clean which I really appreciate. One thing I also really appreciate about it is the storage basket underneath, because it actually fits a good amount, whereas other ones we’ve tried barely fit our diaper bag. It just feels super practical, while also feeling nice.

    Highly recommend

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I will preface by saying these Rosemary LX and Rue are the first products I have tried by Joie. That being said, I’m very impressed by the quality for the price point especially up against competitors. The Rosemary LX rides so smooth and I love how each kid gets a cup holder and the front bar. I’m fine with the length/depth of the canopy, though I’ve heard other Joie strollers go further. The Rue clips on one side very easily. I was able to travel with the Rosemary and took it on a plane. It folds pretty flat considering its size. It has a huge basket underneath for diaper bag and other items. I am very pleased with the safety specs on the Rue. It puts my mind at easy having my baby in this seat when driving.

    Smooth, stylish double stroller with comfort and e

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Smooth to push and easy to fold, handles daily outings well. Comfortable for kids with good canopy coverage, though it’s a bit bulky in tight places.

    A Reliable and Convenient Luxury Option

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This travel system offers a lot of great benefits as compared to others on the market. The car seat is extremely lightweight which is such a gamechanger as baby grows! The material of both the car seat and the stroller is soft and breathable, but still durable and seems to pass the test of time. It really does seem like a luxury set. After reading the instruction manual one good time through, we have a good handle on operation and it is a pretty intuitive design. The stroller folds up pretty flat, allowing for space for other necessities. This is definitely a winning combo for wrangling toddler & baby!

    Excellent for multiple kids and baby!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love this stroller set!!! We have used it for our baby and when we have family and friends’ kids visiting. It’s so easy to put them both in side by side. The quality is excellent as well. This will last us many years to come!!!

    Lower quality than travel system

    We have the Rue/Ginger travel system and wanted a second car seat for my husband’s car. The Rue sold by itself is different and not as nice as the one that comes with the travel system. It doesn’t include padded covers for the straps which is very odd. It overall feels cheaper. We’ve also had issues adjusting to the correct angle at 3+ months.

    The only stroller / car seat combo you will need

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is such an amazing duo set! We will never buy another brand of stroller and car seat again. It is so easy to just latch the stroller into the car without a base and then transfer into stroller. We had the original single stroller from this company but the double is even better because it works with my other son being able to get In it too! We tell everyone about it - it’s so safe and comfortable. It’s made out of great materials and sturdy!

    Great side to side stroller

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really enjoyed using this double stroller for my baby & toddler. This was really easy to set up, it took about 20 minutes to install the tires, cup holders and stroller canopy. We used it at the park and for our daily walks around our neighborhood and it drives really smoothly, even in the grass. The seats are really comfortable and my kids love sitting next to each other. I also like that we all get a cup holder and the storage basket is big enough to store a lot! It’s really easy to fold and once folded it stands on its own. The only downside is you need a big SUV or truck if you’re taking it in your car. I have an SUV and it barely fits in my trunk. I also wish the stroller canopy was a bit longer to cover my kids more from the sun.

    Worth it!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was super excited that I was able to put this together within about 20 mins. It is heavy so it’s definitely going to take some getting used to putting it in and out of the trunk but it’s definitely possible. It was a little tight going through the doors of my apartment but that can be said for any double stroller. It rides smooth and has lots of space underneath for anything you might have to carry with you. It comes with alternate seat padding as well as cup holders for your little ones to use. It’s also tall enough that my tall husband was comfortable using without having to bend down. I like that this can fit as the kids get older so it can be used after the car seat no longer fits. The car seat installs to the car easily and also pops easily in and out of the stroller. This is ideal if you have one toddler and one still in the infant car seat, then you can use the stroller for both. It feels sturdy and like it will last a while which I appreciate for the price point.

    Lovely Set!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ll start with the car seat. It is SO light! I’ve attached a video with my 16lb baby in the seat and you can see how light it is and how easily it clicks out of the base. I took the video inside just so you could see better than in my cramped car. This car seat is by far my new favorite. The base is sturdy and has the rebound bar. I love it. Now onto the stroller! It fits both kids (4 and 1) with room to spare. The storage basket on the bottom is HUGE! There is a drink holder for both kids and mom! It pushes super easy on flat surfaces. It doesn’t do well in dirt/super bumpy areas, but it doesn’t claim to. This is great for paved surfaces and indoor use like at the mall. I took one star off because I’m only 5’2 with very short legs and my feet sometimes hit the storage basket when walking, I’m thinking this could be a big problem for anyone with longer legs. The handlebar isn’t height adjustable either, but it’s perfect for me. For a double stroller it is actually quite light too! Together this set is beautiful, well built, and easy to use. I’m looking forward to making many memories with this stroller/car seat combo!

    Lightweight & easy to carry

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m honestly so impressed with the stroller & the car seat. The fabric feels nice & luxurious, it doesn’t feel cheap at all, and you can tell the quality right away. One of my favourite things is how lightweight it is. I was able to carry the car seat without struggling, which makes a difference when you’re on the go all the time. It’s both practical & beautiful which is exactly what I was looking for. It was easy to set up too.
