Overview

Description

The Nuna PIPA is a lightweight and sleek car seat known for its True Lock safety system. This is the extra base to it. The car seat comes with a base as well, but an extra base can be so helpful if you are a two-car family or if your baby will be riding with grandparents or caretakers often. It lets you move your car seat back and forth without having to use the seat-belt-installation method and saves you from shelling out for an entire second car seat. (Some families opt to just get two car seats because remembering which car has the carrier can be a hassle.)

The Nuna PIPA base comes with the same stability load leg and the True Lock installation system as the base included with the seat. It also has red/green indicators that show when the base and stability leg are properly installed and bubble level indicators that assure you it’s at the proper angle.

What we love about it

A useful addition to the Nuna PIPA car seat for two-car families.

Does this work with the nuna pipa urbn infant car seat? ?

The Nuna PIPA urbn is a baseless car seat and is not meant to be used with bases.

Is this base compatible with the pipa air rx infant car seat ?

Yes, this is compatible with all Nuna PIPA series infant car seats.

Is the manufacturer date within this year? ?

No, this is not 2024.

Is this compatible with the nuna pipa rx aire car seat? ?

Yes, the PIPA rx aire can be used with this car seat base.

What is the difference between this base and the RELX base?

The RELX base has an anti-rebound panel, bubble free installation, low profile base for easier loading of infant seat, four position adjustable lower anchor to remove or reduce the gap between seat and base, three-piece locking stability leg, 17 positions for improved range-better fit to middle seat, load leg storage compartment with lock, and an open belt path for easier install.

Does this base work with the PIPA urban?

This base doesn't work with the Nuna PIPA urbn Car Seat. That is a baseless car seat so it won't be compatible with the PIPA series base or RELX base.

Return?

We offer free returns for unopened and unused Babylist Shop orders as long as it's still within 9 months from the purchase date. You may learn more about it through our Help Center or simply chat/email our Happiness Heroes at support@babylist.com.

the description of the pipa lite rx says you dont need a base…you had answered in a previous question that traveling without the base is ok….so does some one have to get the base if they have 2 cars? are you only supposed to use it baseless if your in like a quick taxi/uber ride?

It's totally safe to use without a base, whether you are in an Uber or your own vehicle. But if you have two cars and they both have the car seat base installed, it makes installing the car seat easier. This car seat base also offers extra support because of the load leg.

Can I use this base for the PIPA urbn travel one?

As it is a baseless car seat, the Nuna PIPA is not compatible with the Nuna PIPA Infant Car Seat Base.

Does this work with the PIPA Rx?

Yes, all versions of the Nuna Pipa car seat can use any version of the Nuna Pipa car seat base.

Not Sturdy
Do Yourself a favor and just order the RELX base for the extra $40.
The Load leg on the PIPA is flimsy and does not provide a reliable lock. Base was not compatible in either my car or my husbands due to the load leg not staying in place. Proper recline could not be achieved and would become askew when the load leg would move.
RELX base is a little more expensive but that thing is STURDY. For first time parents we didn't want to leave anything to chance. This was not worth it.

It works great, I don’t think the load leg is necessary though. Now that I have it and think about it I don’t understand the point. If you roll it’s going to extend more when the car is upside down and then the car seat wouldn’t be level when it flipped back over. It shouldn’t automatically extend.

When the seat/carrier is not in it, it vibrates and rattles (makes noise). Be aware that depending on the size of your vehicle you may not be able to comfortably seat someone on the passenger side in front seat

I love how easy it is to install and would be easy to move from car to car. However, the leg never seems to be secure and makes a clicking sound
