There are few parenting victories quite like finally getting your newborn to sleep in the car. You’ve done the lap around the block. You’ve hit every green light like your life depended on it. And they’re OUT.
Then you pull into the driveway and realise the hard part hasn’t even started.
Unclip. Lift. Transfer. Hold your breath. And please, PLEASE don’t wake the baby.
It’s one of those everyday parenting moments that makes you deeply grateful for baby gear that actually pulls its weight. Enter the new Joie Chrome 2 travel system, which brings the pram, infant capsule and capsule base together in one clever package built for exactly that moment. (And about a thousand others.)
PLEASE NOTE: The Joie Chrome™ 2 Travel System is launching in Australia in the Cashew colourway only. Some images in this article show international fashions for reference.
Meet Joie: The Baby Brand That Tests Like It Means It
If Joie Baby Australia is a new name on your baby shopping list, consider this your introduction.
Joie is a fun-loving bunch with a seriously big heart. Its philosophy is all about serving families, communities, and the planet, and it takes protecting your day-to-day life very seriously. Joie designs its gear to surpass safety standards and pushes products to the extreme during testing, because baby gear should work as hard as you do. (Which, let’s be honest, is very hard.)
Its latest arrival? All about making those first years on the move a whole lot simpler.
What’s in the Joie Chrome 2 Travel System?
For RRP $799.99, the Joie Chrome 2 travel system includes:
- The Chrome™ 2 pram
- The Gemm™ infant capsule
- The capsule base
That’s everything you need to get from car to pram and back again, in one coordinated package. No piecing together a setup from three different shops and hoping it all clicks. If you’ve been hunting for a travel system with capsule included, rather than sold separately for an extra wince at the checkout, this one ticks the box.
One System, Three Pieces, A Lot Less Faff
Newborn outings involve enough gear to make you wonder whether you’re popping to the shops or relocating interstate. That’s exactly why a pram and capsule travel system makes so much sense.
The Gemm™ capsule weighs just 3.7kg, so the car-to-pram shuffle, the stairs and every other baby-hauling moment become far less of an arm workout. Even better, it connects to the Chrome™ 2 pram in seconds using the included adapters.
So instead of waking your little passenger (and living with the consequences), you click, stroll and get on with your day.
Think daycare drop-offs with an older sibling in tow, quick supermarket dashes, GP appointments, coffee runs, or popping in to see Grandma. She’ll want a cuddle anyway, but at least it’ll be on your terms.
For parents searching for a pram and car seat bundle, having all three pieces together takes a lot of the guesswork out of getting ready for those first outings. One less thing on the to-do list. We’ll take it.

From Newborn Snuggles to Toddler Adventures
From Newborn Snuggles to Toddler Adventures
Babies have an annoying habit of growing ridiculously fast. Blink and the newborn onesies don’t fit. So we love baby gear that keeps up.
The Chrome™ 2 offers a lie-flat recline suitable from birth, so newborns can stretch out comfortably on your walks. As they grow, the reversible seat gives you parent and forward-facing options.

Keep bub facing you while they’re tiny, then spin them around the minute dogs, buses, trees and literally everything else become more interesting than your face. (It happens. Try not to take it personally.)
That’s what makes this a smart newborn travel system. It isn’t built for one short stage. It’s designed to grow with your little adventurer, from newborn to toddler.
A Fold You’ll Appreciate When Your Hands Are Full
Folding a pram while juggling your keys, phone, nappy bag and approximately 47 other things should honestly be an Olympic event. Gold medal to every parent who’s done it in the rain.
Thankfully, the Chrome™ 2 has a quick, intuitive gravity fold that works with the seat parent-facing or forward-facing. No removing the seat, no flipping it around, no quiet swearing in the shopping centre car park.
Sometimes the best baby gear isn’t about piling on more features. It’s about removing the tiny frustrations that add up over a long day.
Ready for Whatever the Day Throws at You
Family adventures rarely happen under perfectly controlled conditions. (Understatement of the year.)
The Chrome™ 2 comes with a UPF 50+, water-repellent canopy, plus a sun visor and generous coverage to help protect your little passenger from the elements while you’re out and about. That’s handy for blazing Aussie summers and those “where did THAT rain come from?” afternoons.
Then there’s all the stuff.
Nappies. Wipes. Bottles. Snacks. Spare clothes. Toys. The emergency muslin. The backup emergency muslin, because we all know what happened to the first one.
The spacious storage basket has front and back access, so you can grab what you need without unpacking half the pram on the footpath. And the push bar height adjusts, so you’re not hunching over it on the school run.
Plus, say goodbye to punctures and hello to smooth strolling with our PunctureProof™ foam-filled wheels that roll over bumps without ever going flat. No more discovering a flat tyre when you’re already running late.

Flexibility Is Where This Travel System Shines
What makes the Chrome™ 2 so appealing isn’t one big headline feature. It’s how well everything works together.
Quick trip with a sleeping baby? Clip the capsule straight on. Want bub lying flat? Recline the seat. Want them facing you today and watching the world tomorrow? Flip it around.
That flexibility is what makes a car seat and pram travel system such a practical choice for real family life.
