Nuna - PIPA Series

Yes! We came home with our newborn in uber. We had nuna pipa which clips into uber / Lyft and rental cars. Like others said you can order a car with child seat but those are hard to find. We have used once for airport travel and reserved in advance and it is nuna car seat. I believe they have a partnership.

We got the full travel system in a bundle - actually the pram place we got it from agreed to price match to a deal we found online, so we got it for almost 50% off which was crazy. The car seat, isofix base, buggy chassis, bassinet and stroller seat all came in the bundle along with a foot muff, two rain covers and different adapters. The Pipa Lite is only up to a certain weight limit or 12 months I believe, whichever came first. So our heavy boy actually outgrew that by 9 months but we will obviously get a second use out of it with this baby so not too great a loss. The stroller has had much more longevity for us and we would be continuing to use it with him for a while yet if we didn't need it for baby!

Love our nuna and very committed to sticking with the brand when we size up

I think you'll be happy with either stroller - but I would really recommend looking at Nuna car seats instead of UB. UB just doesn't design their seats as well and there are more issues with fit than Nuna ever has. Do you expect another kid in the near future? I prefer the fold of the Demi to the Vista. I get so annoyed with closing the Vista and opening it, but it is a dream to push! I also love that the Demi comes with a built in mosquito net, and the second kid seat is not reduced limits like on the Vista. I never even tried the Demi unfortunately and I regret it!!

Night nurse and/or postpartum overnight doula. Few nights a week for however many weeks you can comfortably afford. Worth. Every. Penny. As for goods: Thule jogging stroller has been fantastic for us, though we walk frequently and on subpar roads/trails. We went with the Nuna Pipa Lite car seat and liked it, but have the UppaBaby Vista 2 as our stroller chassis and wish we�d just bought a compatible UppaBaby car seat (to deal with less converters and components). A good, breathable crib mattress is a must. We�ve liked the Newton. Lastly, the Baby Brezza is a game changer if you formula feed at all. The rest we�ve gotten a ton of mileage out of gently used and secondhand: clothes, toys, accessories, etc.

I�m a CPST who has installed hundreds of car seats and dealt with every company�s customer service. Nuna is top tier.

Nuna customer service is top notch and its rated one of the best seats out there.

We hated the aria and got the pipa aire rx instead. There is an adapter for the stroller, we also have the Cruz and have loved it.

We have the Nuna Pipa URBN and LOVE it!! This is our first baby though so we don�t have much experience with any other car seat. We initially bought the regular Pipa that uses a base and it made our passenger seats virtually unusable (2016 BMW X5 and 2019 Volvo XC-90). The URBN sits lower on the seat due to not using a base and fits much better. It is a breeze to get in and out of our cars, easy and stress free to use in others� cars, and I love that when I don�t have his car seat in my car all the seats are usable (none taken up by a base). I will say we�ve put it in a couple cars where the seat latches are covered with fabric held in place by Velcro and it has to be undone to install, which is less convenient, but hasn�t been a huge deal for us and in those cases we just use the included latch guides. We also heard people say the base is easier to get in and out every day but for us it�s been super easy, but again we only have experience with the baseless! I�ve also heard critiques about the size/weight limit, but my son was 16 lbs (25th percentile) at 6 months and it�s already pretty heavy. I can�t imagine wanting to carry a baby in a bucket seat around past the 22lb URBN limit personally.

Nuna strollers and car seats with specifically the merino lining. The lightest version of the Pipa that had a reflex clip in base and could be used without the base. Things that we got after attempting alternatives because we love traveling: A dedicated travel stroller that fits in the overhead of airplanes. Cybex libelle. The travel bag for the nuna pipa car seat. The seat is light and so it�s a good item have as a backpack. You can also jam a load of diapers in the space saving previous suitcase space. Baby Bjorn Travel Crib. It�s so light and easy to set up. Gave us much more options for locations we could stay.

We brought our nuna car seat and used it in our rental car and in my MIL car, has attachments that clip in. Wasn't an issue anywhere (WA or VIC).

That�s why I feel like Nuna is a waste lol. The evenflo are very very very easy to install, so it doesn�t make any sense to buy extra bases, and they don�t even make them actually

Hey, I am basically you, but a year down the road. I live on the second floor (no elevator) and don't drive. I have (and recommend) the Nuna Triv Next with the regular Pipa car seat, which has the longest life of the Pipa line. You might be able to find an adaptor on Etsy for another car seat.� I used the carseat in the stroller until my baby was about eight months and could sit up independently in the regular stroller seat. No base is required to be installed in the stroller or in the car.� The bassinet attachment option isn't approved for use in my country, and I was fine with the car seat in its stead.� The stroller itself folds up with an easy pull and lift of the handle. This can be done with one hand. It's light to carry up and down the stairs, and when folded takes up hardly any room.� Upside: The stroller seat and car seat can be set to parent-facing or world-facing. The Minu does not have this functionality. (Don't know about the other one you mentioned.) Parent-facing is great because you can look at them, talk to them, keep an eye on them, and see what they're looking at. Studies have shown that young babies in world-facing mode experience a lot of anxiety. They also can have delayed language development. Many benefits to facing your child!! Plus they are cute af and you'll want to look at them.� Downside: The basket has only a 10 lb weight limit. The mesh is not nearly as sturdy as those I've seen on the Uppababy line.� Let me know if you have any questions!�

Hi! Our LO was born in January. We did short walks until March / April at which point we did more carrier walks. We had nuna triv next plus pipa urbn travel system. We loved the car seat for uber and rental cars since it just clipped in. We would litwrally unclip with baby from the stroller frame and clip into it he car and the frame folded easily. We fee out of it around 7 months and graduated to the toddler seat. If you are considering buying that and would like to buy a gently used, let me know.

I have a Nuna car seat. The base stays in our family car. When I take Ubers with my baby, the car seat can easily and quickly be fastened with a seatbelt. There�s instructions on how to do it properly.

The fact that my Nuna weighs less than 9 lbs is why I own it, every person who�s ever grabbed the seat has complimented how lightweight and easy it is to maneuver. And I�d buy it over and over again!

Have the Nuna tavo. Love it bc it�s so easy to use with the Nuna rx car seat. You can also lay the seat completely flat and has buttons on the feet, so it acts Iike a bassinet. Really didn�t want to buy a bassinet bc it felt like a waste of money. Also think about how the weather will be when your baby is born. It�s great in the wintertime to move the car seat into the stroller and cover her up completely to stay warm.

Our nuna car seats are hands down the best. We�ve bought cheap brands for travel + the maxi cosi�s for grandparents cars to compare. The nuna feels the sturdiest, highest end, and the thing doesn�t budge. It�s also incredibly comfortable and grows with your kids.

We got the Joolz Aer+ (Aer2 wasn�t out yet) + Bassinet. We love it and baby really loves the bassinet best (no straps and just chills). Also I love the bassinet is foldable and can be trunked pretty easily. We also have a Nuna car seat. Joolz Aer has the adapters that are compatible. The Nuna came with the RX base. Honestly, with additional bases we were offered and gifted so many Nuna bases from friends. I�ll bet marketplace has a bunch of bases too. This might be an option ?????

Gotcha! My friends visited NYC a couple times with their infant and their Doona worked well for them. May be worth the purchase for your trip. A �hack� I�ve heard is that if you�re planning on gate checking, go up to gate agent and ask (nicely) if there are any open middle seats and if so if you and your baby could be put in that row. If it works out you�ll get to bring the car seat onboard without buying a seat, if not gate check it as planned and lap carry I personally have the Nuna Triv + Pipa Aire and we�ve flown with it (and the car seat) a few times as a gate check and we love it bc the Triv folds easily. I feel like the Triv is perfect for NYC life but is an expensive purchase so the Doona a much better deal unless you happen upon a used Triv Also another option if you�re renting a car for your upstate journey is a car seat supplied by the car rental company - I think almost all of them have the option!

I got the basic Skip Hop backpack style that you see everywhere. Works great so far, holds a lot. Infant car seat and stroller was also really hard for us to decide. We live in a suburban area, no plans to go running or off roading with our stroller haha. We got the Nuna TRVL LX and Nuna Pipa Air car seat. You can snap the car seat into the stroller, and the stroller goes almost flat so we used it for walks starting around 1 month old. Both stroller and car seat are incredibly light weight and easy to manage, 10/10 recommend. Unfortunately not at the point of convertible car seat yet but looking into Evenflo revolve and Cybex Callisto

We absolutely love our Nuna Pipa RX. The base is so easy to install and takes me all of 15 seconds, which is super nice when we need to change vehicles. The bucket seat clicks right in. 15/10, would buy again. My LO is 14 months and just outgrew it due to her height and graduated to the Rava. Edit to say I bought it on sale during the Nordstrom anniversary sale. I want to say I got ~$150 off, but can't remember exactly.

This is true. But Nuna just came out with Pipa Urbn flex set that attempts to solve this in the US. The stroller mom mentioned it in her stories today. I think it�s to force spending more on their travel systems. I got an unused URBN on the second hand market for $170.

NICU based car seat tech here- - Evenflo Litemax, especially the models with the one piece body insert like [this one](https://www.evenflo.com/products/pivot-modular-car-seats-and-stroller-travel-systems) (not sure they sell this specific car seat on its own anymore, I can only find the exact one I prefer in travel system form). The insert design promotes excellent positioning without pushing babies� heads forward. The hip harness and crotch buckle adjust to be absolutely tiny (this seat starts at 3lbs). Between the harness adjustments and the insert, the positioning for small babies is truly excellent. - Joie Mint Latch- this baseless car seat has rigid latch anchors that pop right out on the seat itself, which 1. Is a huge safety feature and 2. Makes this seat just as convenient as seats with bases - it�s just as fast to get in and out of the car as it is to pop my other car seat in and out of the base. The harness doesn�t adjust as small as the Litemax (almost nothing does) but the body insert is supportive and the harness fit for 5lbs is good. I see this seat often and sometimes I do have to remove the head insert because it can push some babies� heads forward but overall quite pleased with it (I�ve been using it for my youngest for about a year now!) - Chicco Keyfit35/Keyfit Max (same product with updated limits and names to comply with new federal regulations about infant car seat weight limits). Fits small babies wonderfully, is very user friendly, minimal adjustments needed over the life of the seat (remove the body insert at 11lbs and click the headrest higher as baby grows but that�s it). There is a built in headrest and a removable cushioned head insert that sits on top of that- I usually remove the extra insert to avoid heads being pushed forward in a chin to chest position. - Graco- avoid the Snugride Lite models, they don�t fit *well* until 7-9lbs depending on baby�s build. This can be worked around by using a crotch roll but that�s a hassle, just avoid it. If you want a Graco seat, opt for one with a large headrest like [this one](https://www.gracobaby.com/shop/car-seats/infant-car-seats/snugride-snugfit-dlx-infant-car-seat/SAP_2156211.html). These models have an infant body insert that is actually supportive and useful (avoiding the issues with the Lite models) and they allow you to shorten the crotch buckle for an improved fit if needed. There are several �trim levels� with different names - the extra stuff like winter covers and one hand adjust handles and whatnot are irrelevant, you can pick a model with the right type of headrest that meets your price preferences and has whatever bonus accessories you like. - Clek Liing - pricy but *amazing* for preemies. If you want a bougie car seat then this is the one to get for a preemie (skip everything Uppababy, and most Nunas). The infant insert is unique in the US but a common style in Europe- the baby�s butt sits on a block shaped �shelf� to promote good body position and prevent slouching. I�ve known people to balk at this design because it looks odd for US consumers but MAN it�s effective! The base is also lots of fun - rigid latch and load leg are great every management features. One of my own 27 week twins came home from the NICU in a Liing on his due date. - Nuna Pipa Urbn: same category as the Joie Mint Latch, it�s a baseless seat that clicks directly into the vehicle latch anchors. The other Pipa models (the ones with bases) aren�t my favorite for tiny preemies but the Urbn is lovely because it has smaller harness adjustments and a more supportive insert setup than the other Pipa models. The head insert has two layers and I usually remove the top layer to prevent it from pushing little heads forward. My youngest used this one for a while too! Two major drawbacks: it�s only available as a travel system with a stroller so it�s expensive and you don�t have the full market of stroller options to choose from unless you want to spend *more* money. (I have the Triv model stroller with mine and it�s solid but I�m not a Nuna stroller fangirl in general. More often I used the Urbn with my Bugaboo Butterfly stroller with adaptors). Aaand it has a maximum weight limit of 22lbs (compared to 30-35lbs for the others on this list). Most babies outgrow a 30-35lb car seat by height way before they reach the weight limit, but 22lbs comes quickly especially for higher percentile babies. My 80th percentile youngest was too heavy for this seat by like 8 months old. - skip baby trend. For the love of NICU CPSTs everywhere, please don�t get a BabyTrend seat. ??

This is a new limit. Our Pipa urbn purchased just last fall goes up to 22 lbs. So if it currently says 30 lbs, that must be only for a model put out within the last year.

We had a Nuna Pipa Urbn which was great at first as its easy to use and clip into vehicles BUT we ended up having to send it back as it put our LO in a really awkward position and would cause her into the chin to chest position which isn�t safe at all. We had numerous communications with Nuna to try different positions and they were great, but we couldn�t resolve it so they gave us a refund. We now have the Maxi-cos� pebble which has been great as it has 3 reclining positions and is easy to install into other cars with the seatbelt and it only takes a few minutes. Check the attachments as a lot of brands use the same attachments so even though we had the nuna pram the maxi-cos� car seat still attached using the nuna pipa urbn attachment. Good luck and congratulations for June

Uppababy Vista V2 for the win! We didn�t like the uppababy car seats so went with the Nuna Pipa RX and got the adapter. It�s super easy to snap on and both are working really well for us. I also was dead set on a bassinet attachment and am really glad I followed through because we love it and use it all the time. Baby is 1 month old and we use the bassinet attachment when we go out to dinner. She sleeps so well in it! We also use it daily for walks.

i love my pipa urbn! it�s honestly so easy to place and remove and i love knowing i can just clip it in any vehicle

We personally got a car seat that would be compatible with both the full sized and travel stroller. We did a Nuna seat and Bugaboo strollers, and I think a lot of seats work with those Maxi-Cosi type adapters. I�ve heard fantastic things about the Clek. Do we use the seat with the travel stroller often? Not at all. Is it even necessary? Probably not. Is it nice to have? Yes. Would I be mad at myself in a situation where it would be handy if I *hadn�t* gotten a compatible car seat/travel stroller combo? Absolutely. So, completely necessary? Nah. But if you�re even questioning it, that means you�ll probably find yourself in a situation later on where you will appreciate just going ahead with it.

What year is your RAV4 I have a 2020 and my Urbn doesn�t seem to fit well. Way too much wiggle. We are waiting to hear back from Nuna about it. We don�t want to rely on the seatbelt if that�s the whole purpose of the latch ??

That makes sense. Yea I adjusted the back seat as much as I could. I�m officially annoyed. I got mine from pottery barn and no one mentioned that this was a possibility. I guess I should have looked for the vehicle compatibility manual that I just found online a few minutes ago�what a waste

What about Nunas? We had the pipa lite and you don't need the base if you were to take it into another car. It used the seatbelt to strap it in. I also have a used uppababay that sold locks that made the nuna fit into the stroller. So idk i havent looked in a while but maybe they make a bigger version?

We got the nuna mixx travel system, the Pipa Lite seat clicks into the stroller if you need it for quick trips into the shop when baby sleeps, but it's very highly rated for safety and both of our babies have enjoyed sitting/sleeping in it.

I love my mom cozy stroller and the nuna car seat! It�s a travel system which is so worth it in my opinion

I went with the cheapest Nuna travel system. It was around $800 for both the infant car seat and stroller combined. I�m hoping it�s good enough quality that I can use it for my second. It�s honestly super nice� but getting a stroller and car seat that was green guard certified was a top priority for me. I don�t want my baby exposed to excess chemicals and flame retardant fumes. I really hated that it was so expensive though.

For us, no. We have the Nuna. Babies just hate being confined. Mine screamed every time she was in her seat from 4 months to 9 months! We played around with the Chicco and Cosco seats too, to see if any would help (nope - they didn't!). We ended up switching to a Britax One4Life around the 4 month mark to give her more space and so she could sit up more and see the world, but still dealt with screaming. Same thing happened to my friend who used both the Chicco and Graco systems for their two cars. They will eventually grow out of the screaming - we tried to bring a lot of entertainment and snacks to distract her and it helped immensely. She's just over 2 years old now and chills in her carseat for trips so it will get better, I promise you!

Joolz aer 2 and Nuna pipa URBN are what I�m doing for my nyc baby. This combo is most versatile for travel etc.

Not sure how old your little ones are but my 3 month old just took his 3rd flight today. The first two we had him as a lap infant because we had a car seat at the destination. It wasn�t too hard but definitely much easier with him in the car seat. He has a nuna pipa urbn (so you can compare size) & it fit perfectly in between the arms rests. The arm rests do raise as well, but we didn�t need to. The car seat also fit well down the aisle. Southwest allows 2 car seats in a row, but they have to be window & middle seat. Depending how old & if you breastfeed or not but we waited to feed him his bottle until we were taking off so that his first burping we could take him out of the car seat. If you have a seat for the child they have to be in the car seat during takeoff & landing which is somewhat difficult when they are so little especially if you breastfeed. If you aren�t going to offer a bottle a pacifier works too because they need to pop their ears manually on the way up & down. Depending on age as well being new toys that they have never seen before as it will occupy them longer. If they are still little they will most likely just sleep the whole time. Lastly, remember this is a form a public transportation. Children & babies are allowed to act like children & babies. Don�t be embarrassed or get overwhelmed by other people (easier said than done I know). You got this!!

But the Urban has the latch anchors built in which is way easier than using the Pipa baseless.
