Joie spin 360 signature vs non signature

Hi, I am on the look out a new car seat for the baby, she's 7 months old.

We have narrowed it down to the Joie spin 360, we really like the spin feature of it and seems to get very good reviews.

The only thing im having problems with is the signature version and non signature, what are the differences?

On the website it shows the signature version is slightly heavier, but from the look of both is it just the material or pattern on the seat thats different?
or is the signature more padded due to the weight being slightly more?

Its hard to see what the real differences are.

There is a sale on today though so really wanted an answer asap if possible as we can get the non signature for £225 or the signature for £269.

But thats a bif difference if its just the material design thats different lol

thanks

James

I have the non signature version and looking at the pictures it just seems to be the padding that is a bit different. (The signature wasn't around when we bought ours.)

We're very happy with the 360 spin.

It's just the material which is different. You're fine to get the cheaper one. A lot of car seat companies are doing this now, they produce two versions of the same seat so that one can be "luxury", I don't see the point myself, but it must be working for them!

I have the 360 and the fabric seems heavy enough as it is I wouldn't pay for better tbh

I'm not saying the Signature is necessarily different in terms of design/spec (other than the mentioned fabric), however I find myself on this thread because the Joie's user-unfriendly compatibility PDFs state the original 360 Spin is incompatible with our 2013 VW Polo, while another PDF states that it is. So it is either different or there's an error with the paperwork.

(I meant the second PDF states that the Signature is shown to be compatible.)

We have the 360 spin non-signature and it's great - no idea what the difference is but I'm perfectly happy with the cheaper one.

Just been told it is a common problem that the Joie 360 get stuck in cars. I tried to contact Joie but as it was the weekend they do not offer support so had to use a hammer to remove it from my sister in-laws car. Customer service told me they could have resolved this if I had contacted them first 😂
