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.

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.

Secondhand car seats are not recommended because you don’t know if it’s been properly cared for. I highly recommend the Nuna pipa urbn for an infant seat. It has an integrated latch/isofix and was made with this sort of lifestyle in mind. It’s so easy to move between cars (and thus taxis and rental cars) because it doesn’t rely on the use of a base or seatbelt (if the car has a isofix bars, you can do seatbelt if a car doesn’t have it). It was the first of its kind but I do think other companies have since come out with a similar seat. I would look into something like that.

We have the Nuna pipa baseless with rigid latch and love it. We don’t take a lot of Ubers but didn’t want to buy multiple bases and I 100% recommend. It’s so easy to click in and out and is compatible with every single car.

Joolz aer 2 and Nuna pipa URBN are what I’m doing for my nyc baby. This combo is most versatile for travel etc.

This is true. But Nuna just came out with Pipa Urbn flex set that attempts to solve this in the US. The stroller mom mentioned it in her stories today. I think it’s to force spending more on their travel systems. I got an unused URBN on the second hand market for $170.

The Nuna Urbn is solid, we had one too and the built-in ISOFIX was a game changer for quick installs. Only downside was outgrowing it faster than other seats but for no-car families it's perfect since you're not dealing with lugging a base around everywhere

We have a Mazda 3 and the pipa urbn allowed me to still use the front seat safely! The clek did not - my knees were on the dashboard and I’m not even particularly tall.
