The Graco Joie is more compact than other models, but has a less comfortable recline. Its Isofix mechanism may also have issues fitting into certain vehicles.
Forward-Facing

It's a good idea to start this process at the point that their head starts to move upwards over the back of the seat. To determine if it's time to go for it, simply put your hand against the back of the seat and try to touch the top of your child's head.
