Obsessed with this seat. It is SO light and has plenty of cushion for the little while being extremely sturdy. The base is so secure and easy to remove and install. I cannot say enough good things! (Jan 01, 2017)

The Nuna Pipa base feels more secure than your typical car seat base thanks to the steel stability leg and using the LATCH installation is essentially mistake-proof. It's also great for taxis because it installs well without its base, too. As a European-made seat, the high safety standards give you excellent peace of mind and the sleek, modern design is easy on the eyes. The Dream Drape, a built-in extendable cover, cuts down on the clutter you’ll have to carry and zips away in the sun shade when not in use. It’s very lightweight (7.7 lbs) and a breeze to get in and out of the car.
The Catch: The magnets on the Dream Drape aren’t that strong and they come undone very easily.

I love the look of the pipa and how light the seat is, however the base can be such a hassle to install in cars so moving it from car to car can be such a pain. Jan 18, 2020

Safe, light, really comfortable, stylish. The extended fabric cover (aka dream drape) is a wonderful idea, except it does not keep "locked" on the sides. Jan 11, 2020

Wasn’t a fan of this with my son my first child. He was a clunker and this was just too narrow and deep. We had tk by a convertabel car seat to replace it very early around 6months old. He also ALWAYS Nov 20, 2019

I love this car seat. It is so light weight and easy to get baby in and out of. The load leg and LATCH connections make baby safe. The dream drape is nice, but it needs something stronger than magnets Oct 26, 2017
- Sara G.

We purchased the Pipa for baby #2. Nuna is the ultimate for safety & has great features like the dream drape & nice fabric cushioning. Easy to install with LATCH and simple to clean. It's worth it! Oct 12, 2017

When our old infant seat got damaged in one of our moves, we decided to give this one a try. It seems to be more roomy and more cushioned. It's perfect for our son who is on the larger side! Oct 21, 2016
- Jessica L.
San jose, California
This is a great car seat! My baby loves this and it seems very comfortable for her. It has a nice extended sunshade. It also has a stability leg which makes it more safe when driving. Oct 06, 2016
While the base installs easily (usually) & securely (always) with LATCH, a seat-belt base installation often fails to yield the secure fit needed as the seat belt locking device isn’t well-aligned with the seat belts in many cars. We like the load leg on the base, which helps reduce risk of head injury, but the base’s wide footprint + sub-optimally positioned seat belt locking device precludes installation in the center seat of many cars.
