Hi, is the new 2014 version of the platform base compatible with the 2013 matrix light 2? Thanks

Yes, any 'Matrix Light 2' is compatible with the Matrix Isofix Platform.
Matrix light (the original Light version) and older Matrix Cup and Matrix Pro's are not compatible with a base.

Does the matrix light 2 platform fit Peugeot 5008 b 2015 model car Thanks

Unfortunately Jané have not got around to testing your model specifically.
However the Matrix Base should fit all modern cars that have ISOFIX and the only things to check for, as with all car seats, is that any AIRBAGS are switched off on that seat position, and that the floor in which the support leg is placed onto is solid; no underfloor compartments.
If it does have a compartment, then you need to speak to your car dealer for a filler, or check that the support leg can extend to the solid floor of the compartment.
Hope this helps.
Regards

Hi, is this ISOFIX compatible with the "Grand" Car seat? I currently have the matrix light 2 set and looking at what car seat to get next that falls within group 1,2,3 but at the sametime compatible with this current isofix base.
Johnston Prams Replies:

Hello,
The Grand car seat has its own integrated ISOFIX so a base is not needed.
Kind Regards

Are Jane interchangeable eg can a crosswalk seat go on a trider base?
Johnston Prams Replies:

No, Each pushchair seat unit is designed for their particular chassis. This is so they can fold with the chassis and are also stable, as some chassis and pushchair on the Jane range are higher off the ground than others.
The Jane car seats can go on different jane chassis or pushchair, but not the pushchair seat units.
hope this helps.

I have the matrix light 2 with the platform isofix. My daughter is only 5 months but is 60cm long she’s normally lay flat in the carry cot is it ok to keep using the carry cot if she gets to long for it and her feet go over the edge but is within the weight limit and what is the next car seat to use if she gets to long and is still under 1year old.
Thanks

Hi Philippa,
The Matrix Light 2 is a Group 0 car seat when in lie flat position, which is 0-10kg for baby (usually about 1-12 months) and also when it is in the sitting up position it is a Group 0+ car seat, which is 0-13kg for baby (usually about 0-18 months).
As long as the baby's head is still being protected inside the matrix body/shell and still under the said weight limits, then it safe ok, even if the babies feet go over the edge.
As your baby is still only 5 months, you can get a car seat that does from birth to 12 years. and therefor it will do now but also last until 12 years.
Some to take a look at are the JANE GROOWY 9m-12 years, JANE iKONIC 2 0-4 years, or even the BECOOL CRUISER 0-12 years car seat.
Hope this helps

Will this fit in a Mini Cooper 3 door hatch 57 plate? Will it be possible for it to be in a lie flat position? Thanks
Johnston Prams Replies:

Hi Pei-Theng, I have checked Jané's compatibility list and it confirms it can be installed with either seat belts and with the Isofix Matrix Platform, in both positions (sit-up and lie-flat).
For your information, the Matrix Light 2 car seat is classified as UNIVERSAL, and the ISOFIX PLATFORM is classified as SEM-UNIVERSAL.
Hope this helps.

Please can you tell me if the matrix light 2 platform is suitable for a 2006 Mercedes R320 L Sport? I've already bought the platform but the car list on the box doesn't list the Mercedes R Class as compatible. Is this correct? The car has two separate seats in the back and a gap in the middle of them.
Many thanks
Johnston Prams Replies:

Hi Paula,
The list provided is only showing what the Manufacturer has tested and fitted the car seat physically in, and obviously up to that date of manufacture. Its is constantly being updated. So if it is not on the list, it doesn't mean that it will not fit, just that they may still have to try that model and year of car yet.
I have looked into it, and the only things to check your car for it that it does not have an under-floor storage compartment that the Matrix Platform leg would rest on. The Platforms support leg has to rest on the solid car floor.
And also check that there is no obstructions/dangers in the middle of the two centre seats if your rotate your matrix to the flat position which would hangover the centre gap.
As you have already purchased the base, try installing it as per the instructions. If you have not come across any issues during the installation, then its fine. Its just a case that it may have not been officially checked by their installation team and added to their list yet.
Hope this helps.

I have a Jane Matrix Light base which we used with the Jane Matrix 2. My daughter is ready to move up to a stage 1 car seat (She is 15 months). Can this base be used with any stage 1 car seat?
Many Thanks
Katrina

Hi Katrina, The matrix platform only works with the Matrix Light 2 infant car seats. Having a base for a car seat is only useful with the infant age range of car seats. The next stage car seats stay in the car because your child and the car seat start to become too heavy to take in at out of the car and you only ever did this to put an infant car seat onto a pram chassis to make it a travel system. Once your child is passed this newborn age range of car seats, they start to use the pushchair and their car seats stay in the car. Hope this answers your question.

Hello,
I was wondering if you could tell me if a Honda Civic is listed as compatible with this isofix base? It has isofix anchor points and no underfloor storage, but I was just hoping to find out if it has been successfully tested in this car? Thank you.
Johnston Prams Replies:

Hi Siobhan, yes the Matrix Platform has been tested in your car and I can confirm the two positions it can be used in is your two outer rear seats. I confirmed this with the list we have. Hope this helps.

Will this isofix work with Jane matrix cup as well as the light? As I have the older vision and didn't wanted to mess around ordering it if wouldn't work.

Good afternoon
Thanks for getting in touch with us, I have had a look into your enquiry but unfortunately the Jane matrix Isofix Platform is not backwards compatible, the base will only fit the Matrix Light 2 model and not its predecessor's.
The Jane Matrix Light 2 had a few structural housing's added onto the back for the support in the base, while the earlier models do not have these.

hi,
My daughter and son in law are expecting twins,im interested in buying them the jane twone & 2 matrix light travel system pram.Will i need 2 of these and will they both fit in the back of a car.
Thank you for your help

Hi Lorraine,
Thanks for getting in touch, hopefully I can help!
The Twone systems are really popular because they are so versatile. The Matrix Light 2 really is a exceptional seat and used with the Platform its really handy too.
The Matrix Light 2 can be fitted in the car either lying flat or upright, using the cars own seat belts or using the Isofix Platforms - the platforms just make it incredibly quick and easy to fit and change between the two.
The Matrix takes up 1 space when used upright rear facing, and takes up two spaces lying down flat (the same whether the seat is fitted by the cars belts or on the platform). So either way (unless you have a 7 seater) you will be able to fit both car seats at the same time certainly but will only be able to have one seat lying flat at a time. In cases like this its best to use one seat lying flat and one upright, then after around 2 hours (for a really long journey) swap, so that the baby who was sitting upright can now lie flat. Using the Matrix Platforms this is really, really fast and easy, that's the beauty of these platforms - you wont need to take the harnesses off, waken the children or remove the Matrix seats themselves.
I hope that helps Lorraine, but if your still unsure please do drop us a quick e-mail.

Hi there, does this base need to be professionally fitted? Or will we be able to fit it ourselves?
Johnston Prams Replies:

Good Morning Hazel,
Thanks for getting in touch, hopefully I can help!
No, you can certainly fit this yourself, there's absolutely no reason why you can't.
It is designed to be fitted at home with no prior experience and this particular model actually has a little QR code on the front - so if you scan this with your smart phone and it will actually play a little installation video so you can see how this fits in your car, but its really not difficult at all. The two Isofix bayonettes will snap into place when they find the right point on your car and the little indicators will change from red to green on the legs.
The new 2014 models that we have in stock (this version) also have an indicator on the drop down support leg too, so you can be assured peace of mind. There are a number of other upgrades on this model over last years design also.
But you should be able to fit this yourself with no problems at all!
I hope that's been some help!
