FTM 2w pp — I got the nuna pipa urban x2 + Demi next bundle and the nuna exec next. It’s pricey but I think it’s worth it. The bundle I got comes with 2 infant car seats that fit right into the travel stroller (single to double stroller as well) and the Demi seat can be used from birth to 50lbs. The travel size stroller is the biggest one they have, it’s one hand fold with bigger wheels and storage than most travel strollers, it also comes with a rider board too. The Demi seat can also recline back almost all the way which is why I decided not to get the bassinet attachment because I was debating on getting that as well. We have two cars as well and I know my family will want to take baby out as it gets warmer (also have a little niece on the way so our kids are gonna be like 2 months apart). Also, plan on ttc baby #2 around 18m pp when I get the okay from my OB. They have a bundle that comes with only one car seat as well. My lease on my car ends soon and once it does we were thinking of getting a bigger more permanent car which is when I’ll install the nuna exec next in there as it’s a convertible car seat that works from infant all the way to booster. I like both the seats because it’s baseless, so traveling with the infant car seat and the stroller has been super easy and convenient.
There’s a bundle that comes with one, I bought the one that comes with 2 because I have a niece on the way that would be 2 months younger than my daughter. With the stroller being able to convert to a double, family outings would be easier plus I plan on having one for my home and most likely will give one to my mom when my baby is old enough to do more outings. Based on past experience with my nephew everyone in my family ended up buying a car seat for their cars because we all took him for outings and it was just easier for them to have their own car seat. So I’m going off past experiences, this is just what I think would work better for my family. The nuna exec was not part of the bundle I bought that separately for when we have a more permanent car to avoid having to buy different car seats later on.
The pipa urbn /Nuna Trvl Lx combo is amazing. I have to walk down a flight of stairs and it works well. I like the Trvl LX because can be used from birth with a near flat recline, super early one hand fold, pretty light, and the wheels and frame are very strong handling not the best streets and sidewalks quite well. While I have a car, there have been times when I needed to take an uber and the urbn was perfect. It just plugs right into the latches. It was so much easier than doing a seat belt install each time. And while it is heavier than our pipa rx, it really wasn’t noticeable like I thought it would be. It felt the same with a 23lb baby in it as the RX. And when he was really little it was great.
We had the Pipa urbn and looooooved it. So easy and light. Twas a sad day when our daughter outgrew it.
She outgrew it around 11 mos.
I have a Nuna because we used air miles from our credit card to buy it on the air miles shop😅 It was better than spending out right money on any stroller. I am the scruffiest most unkempt mum and do not have a luxury vibe at all lol I barely brush my hair. It's a good system and we really like our PIPA URBN infant seat as we don't have a car. We got the triv next and the big wheels have been great for the uneven pavements where we live. It's pretty damn sturdy, we aren't particularly careful people.
We just went to a stroller tryout and decided on the Nuna Pipa Urbn for our car seat. It’s green guard certified, no added flame retardants, and it’s baseless so it can anchor into any car. The sales associate said lots of people in the city opt for it because you can easily use it in an uber.
Urbn, Graco GoMax, and Joie Mint latch are all baseless latch infant seats. All of the nuna seats can be installed baseless if you use a seatbelt btw. They’re all safe. People feel like they’re not safe because they’re new or because they don’t know how car seats work, but ask any CPST or look online for video demos - they can explain how it’s just as safe as other car seats on the market. People have this idea that the base that it clicks into, is safer, but when you have the baseless latch connection…it’s doing the same thing as the base is (connecting via latch lol) 😂 Idk the weight limits for the the Graco and Joie car seats but the nuna urbn, nuna pipa RX, and Aire RX all have the same weight and height limits now. They’re 4-30lbs and 16-30 inches. The older models varied more, but now they’re the same across the 3.
