Nuna - PIPA Lite Rx

I had a Nuna (Pipa Lite RX) with my first and the Joie Mint this time and prefer the Mint! My baby always kicked off the sky drape on the Nuna and the Joie Mint honestly feels like similar quality to me (I have the maple that comes with the nutmeg). Strollers and convertible car seats are worth spending extra money on in my opinion, infant seats are outgrown too quickly to justify it to me. They all go through the same safety testing.

As for car seat I’d go for Nuna Pipa RX lite. You can put it in a taxi without a base. Works with an adapter to the vista and also tons of other strollers.

Yes the Nuna pippa lite rX can be used in ubers/cars without a base. You can then clip it to many travel strollers with an adapter. Your kid will grow out of it by 2 though.

We got the full travel system in a bundle - actually the pram place we got it from agreed to price match to a deal we found online, so we got it for almost 50% off which was crazy. The car seat, isofix base, buggy chassis, bassinet and stroller seat all came in the bundle along with a foot muff, two rain covers and different adapters. The Pipa Lite is only up to a certain weight limit or 12 months I believe, whichever came first. So our heavy boy actually outgrew that by 9 months but we will obviously get a second use out of it with this baby so not too great a loss. The stroller has had much more longevity for us and we would be continuing to use it with him for a while yet if we didn't need it for baby!

We got the nuna mixx travel system, the Pipa Lite seat clicks into the stroller if you need it for quick trips into the shop when baby sleeps, but it's very highly rated for safety and both of our babies have enjoyed sitting/sleeping in it.

Night nurse and/or postpartum overnight doula. Few nights a week for however many weeks you can comfortably afford. Worth. Every. Penny. As for goods: Thule jogging stroller has been fantastic for us, though we walk frequently and on subpar roads/trails. We went with the Nuna Pipa Lite car seat and liked it, but have the UppaBaby Vista 2 as our stroller chassis and wish we’d just bought a compatible UppaBaby car seat (to deal with less converters and components). A good, breathable crib mattress is a must. We’ve liked the Newton. Lastly, the Baby Brezza is a game changer if you formula feed at all. The rest we’ve gotten a ton of mileage out of gently used and secondhand: clothes, toys, accessories, etc.

This was me! I had a Pipa Lite and a Mixx and was very happy with them, no bassinet needed. I will say that I wish I had gone for a regular Pipa instead of Lite - the lite doesnt have the full sunshade, which I wanted, and it cannot be used without a base. Things to consider!

This was >6 years ago, so take it for what it is. We had the Pipa Lite, our cousin had the KeyFit. When we flew to go visit, we borrowed it bc by this time her cousin was in a convertible. The KeyFit was HEAVY compared to the Pipa. Made us miss our Pipa sooo much

The lighter Nuna car seat was absolutely worth it for me as a petite woman. Also getting the matching Nuna TRVL stroller with the one handed open/close that doesn’t require any additional pieces for that car seat to click into it was a game changer for travel when kiddo was an infant. We also have the Nuna Rava now which is extraordinarily comfy. Feel bad when we travel and we put the kid in a cheaper car seat that’s more portable. The difference is incredibly noticeable. The Tripp Trapp we also love with the various attachments for each stage of life. If my next kid is not a good sleeper, I’ll rent the snoo. Didn’t need it with my first. ETA: Again for travel, the Guava Lotus and Slumperpod are also amazing to have. Plus the No Reception Club carry-on and diaper bags.

Have the Nuna tavo. Love it bc it’s so easy to use with the Nuna rx car seat. You can also lay the seat completely flat and has buttons on the feet, so it acts Iike a bassinet. Really didn’t want to buy a bassinet bc it felt like a waste of money. Also think about how the weather will be when your baby is born. It’s great in the wintertime to move the car seat into the stroller and cover her up completely to stay warm.

We got the Joolz Aer+ (Aer2 wasn’t out yet) + Bassinet. We love it and baby really loves the bassinet best (no straps and just chills). Also I love the bassinet is foldable and can be trunked pretty easily. We also have a Nuna car seat. Joolz Aer has the adapters that are compatible. The Nuna came with the RX base. Honestly, with additional bases we were offered and gifted so many Nuna bases from friends. I’ll bet marketplace has a bunch of bases too. This might be an option 🤷‍♂️
