PIPA lite

Yes, we had Nuna pipa lite, then a Nuna rava. Then I had twins. And we were briefly able to fit three across in my Volvo xc90 with her car seat and the two newborn Nuna pipa lites. After they outgrew the infant carriers, I did some research and got three graco seats that are made for people that want to do 3 across. I will say the materials are thinner, the seat does seem less heavy duty, but I have been extremely happy with the graco ones and feel silly for ever thinking we needed Nuna. Nuna is definitely nicer than graco, but I have no regrets about making the switch.

Honestly, I didn't even think twice about this. We had a Nuna infant car seat because it had the features we wanted & others did not. We have Graco and Evenflo older kids seats because those had the features we wanted & the Rava did not. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Fwiw My kids went from a Nuna pipa lite, into Evenflo Revolve Slim & Graco EasyTurn. I like the Graco easy turn more & typically recommend it -- but the rear-facing limits are lower & I only find it acceptable for my family because my kids are small/short (they won't crack the limits before 5yo). If your baby is tracking average or above on either weight or height, the Evenflo has high RF limits & therefore it is MUCH safer for longer.

We did the same from the nuna pipa lite or whatever it was called before the aire to the britax poplar and love it for our big little dude. It still feels like really nice material to me, not any different than nuna. When we bought it a couple years ago it was super reasonable and under $200 during a target sale but they’re so expensive now.

What about Nunas? We had the pipa lite and you don't need the base if you were to take it into another car. It used the seatbelt to strap it in. I also have a used uppababay that sold locks that made the nuna fit into the stroller. So idk i havent looked in a while but maybe they make a bigger version?

We have a Nuna Pipa Lite for the bucket car seat and then, we swapped to the Joie Chili Spin because it’s made by the same company as Nuna and mimics the quality. Baby loves both!
