Juni Infant Car Seat with Versa Base
Overview
Highlights
- Includes infant car seat and base
- Rear-facing for 4-30 lbs
- Made with recycled fabrics
Description
This rear-facing car seat is crafted with a super soft cover made from Seawool fabric, woven accents, soft mahogany leatherette accents and trusted safety features.
The plush Seawool cover is made from recycled polyester, recycled oyster shells and polyester. Seawool is insulating, moisture-wicking and odor-resistant. The premium car seat cover is also washer and dryer-friendly for simplified cleanup, and it’s naturally flame-retardant with no added FR chemicals.
Juni comes with the Versa base, which pairs SecureLoc with rigid LATCH car seat installation for an easy setup. The steel rigid LATCH connectors pull out of the base in a straight path and attach directly to the vehicle anchors, no rotating or twisting required. The anti-rebound bar, steel support bar and load leg offer premium safety for every journey.
The UPF 50+ canopy on this newborn car seat gives baby plenty of shade. To give them a little more privacy, pull down the SereneScreen magnetic drape cover.
The lightweight aluminum carry handle with mahogany leatherette accent adjusts easily with one hand, and the magnetic harness storage keeps the harness out of the way for easier ins and outs.
To create a travel system, connect the Juni directly to the Romer Tura stroller (sold separately), no adapters needed. This travel car seat can be used in aircrafts when installed without the base.

Q&A
Customer reviews
I was pleasantly surprised at how the base’s latch system and level indicator simplified the installation process, ensuring a secure fit without much hassle.
My favorite feature of the Juni Roamer, besides the safety features, has to be its use of stylish and high-quality materials — the design is visually appealing, and the materials used are durable and easy to clean, making it both practical and aesthetically pleasing.
Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this infant car seat.
I was pleased to see when I searched that this seat has similar safety ratings to similar carseats on the market. I was especially glad that it has an anti-rebound bar because that's a non-negotiable for me, given how much it improves safety outcomes in an accident. I also feel that this carseat seems comfier than other models I've looked at. My son is only 6 weeks old so he can't voice his opinion, but he seems very snug and cozy to me! And just to my hand it feels like it would be more comfortable to sit in. I feel better about this seat than our older one for long trips for that reason.
My husband installed it and said it was about the same as the other seat he installed--a little cumbersome as all carseats are, but not terribly difficult and didn't take long.
Overall, I'd recommend this seat to any parent who wants an option that doesn't skimp on safety and comfort while also being made of beautiful, high quality materials.
Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this infant car seat.
It is SAFE- rigid LATCH, load leg, anti-rebound bar, steel support bar, and an automatic seat belt tensioner- more than satisfied my requirements! It also has the European belt path , which if you find yourself traveling and needing to install it via seatbelt only- the European belt path is the safest option out there!
Installation- took me 5 minutes the first time having skimmed the safety manual. Now takes me less than two minutes to install, which is key if you have multiple kids to buckle in! Also safety is only as good as the person who installs it, so having a seat that is very easy to install for the grandparents, babysitter, etc was important to me.
No flame retardants- the fabric is Seawoool (I’d never heard of it before)- but it is a recycled polyester and flame retardant free. Not to mention SO soft and luxe feeling. A soft, easy to clean, recycled fabric, free of added chemicals? Yes please:)
Baby’s comfort- has all the bells and whistles. As opposed to our previous seat with a very deep pocket, this seat allows baby to sit a nice angle, and elevated enough that he can still see his siblings next to him. It also has an extended canopy shade that secures with magnets and a little peekaboo window- so nice for checking on baby when he’s sleeping!
*One of my only critiques is that the buckle seems slightly wider than necessary and pushes into baby’s chubby thighs just a bit. I did finally take out the bottom infant insert today though (baby is 7 months, approx 18 lbs) and this seemed to make a significant difference. Would still like a more narrow buckle nonetheless.
A few other great features:
-it’s so light to carry compared to others we’ve had!
-it’s so luxe. Like really pretty. I love the black we have for practicality, but the pearl and truffle colors look even more luxe!
- it fit easily in our Acura MDX with 3-across in the middle row. I am 5’3 and have plenty of space with it behind the driver seat. My husband is 5’11 and it fits but just.
My only other negative is that so far, I’ve not been able to figure out how to attach it to our stroller (we have an UppaBaby Vista 2019 model). I’ve spoken with reps at both UppaBaby and Romer, and from what I can gather, the Romer online manual shows that it should theoretically click in to the UppaBaby brand car seat attachments used for UppaBaby car seats. I’ve not been able to have success, but this may be due to the fact that I’m using our Vista as a double stroller rather than in single use mode. My advice for anyone looking to use it with a double stroller is to get a double Bob with the proper attachments anyways- once your older child is over 20 lbs, pushing a top/bottom double stroller becomes an Olympic sport.
This is the longest review I’ve ever written- because there is SO MUCH to love about this car seat! I’d DEFINITELY recommend (but do check the stroller compatibility chart! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/660d5c7dc46b57121ad82308/t/673cede32105b5493d674f7b/1732046307515/Romer+Juni+ICS+Compatibility+Chart+Vertical%2C+Updated.pdf
Then come all the great features that amazingly still haven't become standard on all car seats-magnets to hold the buckles off to each side and out of the way, magnetic peek a boo canopy, flip down sun visor, and the built in serene screen privacy shade that is magnetic and stores inside it's own zippered compartment on top of the canopy when not in use.
But it was two amazing little features and one larger one that doesn't just set this car seat apart from all others, it catapults itself over them. First-the magnetic harness pads! Yes, I said magnetic-totally genius move! The other is the one handed handle adjust-no more leaning over baby in the vehicle to adjust the handle with both hands. Just slide the button over on top of the handle and adjust. The biggest one though, was the overall design and shape of this car seat. It was definitely designed to ensure comfort even for babies at the far end of the height and weight limits. Since my 18 month old is still within the limits (barely) I decided to let them test it out as well. They love this car seat and even fell asleep in it on the five minute drive to the grocery store. (That hasn't happened in months!!)
Installation of the base was a breeze. Took me less than a minute to have it securely and properly installed in my vehicle, and only fifteen seconds to remove!
Overall, if your looking for a high quality, eco-friendly, extremely safe car seat that will last and keep your baby comfy until they didn't fit into it anymore-get this car seat!! You will not be disappointed!
Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this infant car seat.
As for the seat itself, it feels super high quality. The fabrics are soft and thick, and I can tell my baby is comfy in the seat. A small detail, but the strap covers are magnetic and feel way more luxe than the usual velcro or snap closure. Also LOVE the included privacy cover, which helps keep my baby content and asleep when we’re transitioning her from the car.
All in all this is a quality, high end infant carrier. There is not a single thing I would change!
What I love:
- The Seawool fabric is naturally flame retardant which is an absolute must for my family!
- The covers are removable and washable which is a huge plus because many car seats do not have this option.
- Safety is my top priority when it comes to car seats, and the Romer Juvi does not disappoint with an anti-rebound bar and load leg. These are high-end safety features that are great to have to keep your little one safe.
- The UPF 50+ canopy is one of my favorite features of the Romer Juvi. It provides excellent sun protection and can be extended for even more coverage using the magnetic “SereneScreen.” I’ve never seen a SereneScreen feature on a carseat before, and I absolutely love that you can provide a breathable but shaded private cocoon for your baby.
- The Romer Juvi is not only functional but also stylish. The fabrics are soft, breathable, and easy to clean, which is a must for any parent dealing with spills and messes. The seat looks and feels high-end, and I love the sleek design. It’s clear that a lot of thought went into both the aesthetics and the functionality of this car seat.
- The two padded inserts offer a customizable fit, and my baby seems to be comfortable in the seat. I also love that it comes with padded strap covers that have magnetic closures – easy to take on and off and comfortable for baby!
What could be improved:
- The installation process could be tricky for first-time users or those unfamiliar with car seat installation, particularly due to the unique SecureLoc system.
- The instructions could be clearer, which might confuse users who are not already familiar with car seat installation.
- The wording in the instructions and the unique design philosophy of the SecureLoc system might not be immediately intuitive for everyone.
- The handle is relatively wide, and as someone with petite hands, I found it challenging to carry one handed.
Overall, the Romer Juvi car seat is a fantastic investment for any parent. It’s safe, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed with both parent and child in mind. My favorite feature is the adjustable canopy, which provides excellent sun protection and ensures my baby stays comfortable on the go. If you’re looking for a high-quality car seat that combines style, safety, and functionality, I highly recommend the Romer Juvi!
I received the color “Pearl” which is a gorgeous charcoal heathered gray with the lighter pearl color. It pairs beautifully with the black features and mahogany leatherette handle grip. The fabric is innovative and practical, without sacrificing looks. It’s made of Seawool fabric (which thoughtfully includes recycled polyester and recycled oyster shells) so not only is it extremely soft, it’s also odor-resistant and moisture-wicking which is a HUGE bonus since sweet little babies tend to be a bit messy. And when you do need to wash it, the car seat cover can be machine washed and dried since it’s made from durable materials. I also love the magnetic technology and that I don’t have to worry about scratchy Velcro on the straps by my baby’s face.
As for safety, wow. I have 4 kids and I have never had a car seat with as many safety features as this. The car seat includes five trusted safety features: an anti-rebound bar, a steel support bar, a load leg, rigid LATCH, and SecureLoc™ - an exclusive automatic seat belt tensioner and lockoff technology.
I cannot recommend this car seat enough. Being a parent is so incredibly rewarding, but there are challenges and anxieties. I can confidently say that putting my baby in this car seat completely eases my mind because I know how incredibly safe she is and to me, that’s everything.
