Nuna's latest innovation, the Pipa Urbn, is one of a kind that reinvents the way you travel with a baby. This rear-facing car seat for infants was designed to make parenting easier with a luxurious line-up. It has patented features that include the first and only infant car seat that is baseless equipped with PipaFIX(tm) rigid latch that is installed in two seconds, without the necessity of a base for the vehicle. It can be used as a stand-alone, or in conjunction with the Nuna pushchair to create a travel system and is 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 own their own vehicles and who rely on taxis or rideshares frequently or who have to quickly move the seat between different cars for everyday life, trips to the beach or to visit grandma's house. The ISOFIX connectors come built-in so there is no need for an additional base. It's also simple to use and has indicators that show the seat is ready to go.
The latches can be removed from their hiding beneath the carrier, and you can then click to secure them. You can also alter the angle if needed by using the blue indicator line. This is much faster and less complicated than putting in Clek Liingo, which requires you hinge the latches that are attached from behind the carrier in order to find and align the buckles.
Our tester, a mother of a 7-week old baby, found that the Pipa Urbn was easy to use and well-designed. The sturdy seat is lightweight and comfortable to carry, even when loaded with a newborn sleeping. It also comes with a range of convenience and comfort features like the breathable Dream drape, which pulls out of the canopy easily and attaches quietly to the car seat for complete privacy. It also comes with a UPF 50+ canopy, with a flip-out eyeshade and XL peekaboo window.
Our baby tested fit perfectly into the urbn at 3 months, and has plenty of room to grow. He's still a bit too small for the top slot of the harness, but is almost outgrowing the urbn in terms of weight and height. He has an inch and a quarter headroom remaining at his current size.
