PIPA Aire

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 also have this stroller. Along with a mixx next because where we live some of the roads are cobblestone. Plus the bassinet attachment We wanted a heavy duty stroller that could be taken on grass/cobblestone, one that could be used for travel that was easy to fold and the safety of the pipa aire was very nice.

I am down this deep dark rabbit hole currently. I was leaning uppa, but then I read their infant car seats have a bad “chin to chest” issue. You can get a nuna infant seat to fit the vista v2/v3 but then I’m like, why not just go all nuna at that point. So now I’m looking at the nuna Demi next stroller with the pipa aire infant seat and then when they grow out of that we’ll switch to a convertible car seats. I want the bassinet attachment also not just for walks but for traveling naps and if the bay falls asleep on our walks they can just keep sleeping in the bassinet but with the infant seat they can’t.

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.

We loved our Nuna Pipa Lite RX and will be using it for baby number 2. I think they have now replaced that model with the Aire.

This is so true. My husband and I just did a longish flight for the first time and I was so stressed about flying with the baby in general, I didn’t want to ALSO deal with thinking about the wellbeing of another person in our row. We brought an infant car seat. We have a nuna pippa aire and had no problems fitting it in the seat with room for the other person to recline. My son slept on me for a good portion of the flight but I did transfer him into the car seat eventually for him to continue sleeping so I could get a break. We also brought a small blanket so we could cover the car seat which was clutch. It was like his own slumber pod.

I've done it with 3 the same ages you mentioned and it was perfect. The oldest went in a high-back booster in the middle of the second row. I bought the Volvo booster since it's a bit more narrow than others and leaves more room to buckle. The other two carseats were a Nuna Pipa with base and a Diono Radian 3R.
