4. Nuna PIPA urbn
The latest innovation from Nuna, the one-of-a-kind Pipa urbn, reimagines the future of travel for baby. This rear-facing car seat for infants was designed to simplify parenting by providing a luxurious selection. It boasts multiple patented features, including the world's first and only baseless infant car seat that comes with a PipaFIX(tm) rigid latch that is installed in two seconds, without the requirement for a vehicle base. It can be used as a separate seat or paired with the Nuna stroller to create a travel set. It's also compatible with strollers from other brands, such as Silver Cross, Joolz Bugaboo, i-Candy, and Egg.
This unique feature is especially helpful for families who don't have their own cars or who use taxis or rideshare services frequently, or who need to quickly move the seat between different cars for everyday life, vacations or trips to visit grandma's home. The ISOFIX connectors are integrated which means there is no need for an additional base. It is also simple to use and comes with indicators that indicate when the seat is ready to go.
It's a quick and easy process that involves the latches swinging from their hiding places under the carrier, you click on to connect, and then adjust the angle (if needed) using the blue indicator lines. It's faster and easier than installing the Clek Liingo which requires you to hinge the attached latches forward from behind the carrier to locate and align the buckles.
Our test subject, a mother of a 7-week-old, found the Pipa urbn to be easy to use and very well-designed. It is lightweight and comfortable to carry and is suitable for sleeping babies. It also has many convenience and comfort features, including the breathable Dream drape that pulls out of the canopy and connects to the car seat quietly for privacy.
Our baby test was able to fit into the urbn in a perfect way at 3 months old and still has the space to grow. He's still a little small for the top harness slot but he is close to surpassing the size of the urbn due to weight and height, and has nearly an inch of headroom in his current size.
