Crow_WhispererWhat 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?
exclamationbWe 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!
Nike_ofSamothraceThis 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!
NurseK89This 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
Pale_Drag_6808We had a pipa lite and he was using it up too 6 months but switched him to a convertible. He probably still would fit into it now he’s almost 11 months now.
Paranoid-GirlI don't have that exact setup but I have the Nuna trvl stroller, the Demi grow and the pipa lite and I love them all! I'm also not extra and care about looks. Most of the time (99% of the time) I look like a walking zombie in sweats and a t shirt bc I'm a SAHM to a daughter who doesn't like to sleep. It doesn't hurt to splurge because if you maintain these items you can absolutely resell or reuse!
thehairiestpotterDo not feel guilty for indulging in something you will use all the time! You will be the one using it, buy it!! And don’t be quick to say “well it’s the cheaper one of the nunas” it’s a great travel system, it will be great for baby, you wanted it, end of story!
BLNKCHKI have a Nuna Rava forward facing behind the driver seat, and a Nuna Pipa rear facing behind the passenger. Both front seats need to move forward from where we'd normally have them to accommodate the car seats behind. I'm 6'2" and when I drive, I do need to move the seat forward a good amount from my normally position because my 4 year old would other wise have only a couple inches for her feet. There is not room to comfortably fit a third person in the middle seat of the second row I'd say. And no easy way to get to the third row with two car seats installed.
