RAVA Convertible Car Seat

Another thing to think about is how big car seats are. We basically had to go with the nuna rava as while we are rear facing it was the only one that would fit and still let us put the front seats back enough to be comfortable or safe to drive. A lot of them are just too big for our small ish suv (Mazda cx5)

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.

Love them. Have the Pipa and Rava.

The seats they require are convertible-Nuna RAVA. The need for advance order doesn’t make it ideal, but I have had a great experience with the Uber car seat option in DC every time I used it. We actually got the same driver several times so I think the drivers are limited/selected so it’s reassuring it’s not any random person throwing a broken car seat in their trunk.

This is what we have. Rava in my Highlander and an extend2fit in my husband’s truck

I have the Nuna rava, I bought it for my oldest and he used it after he outgrew his infant seat around 6/7 months until he was about 3.5 years old. He’s a 99%ile boy and by 3.5y, the 5 point harness was too snug in the crotch area, so we switched him to the Nuna Aace at that point. My baby is currently using the Rava and it seems comfortable for him at 9.5 months old.

I have the Nuna rava (primary family vehicle) and my husband has graco extend2fit in his truck. Both are fine seats! The biggest difference I see is in the installation. I can swap a Nuna from vehicles in 1-2 minutes, versus the install for others is more challenging (not technically, but more manual pulling to make sure it’s secure). I had no issues at all installing my uppababy mesa for my child in my vehicle at 8 months pregnant. That being said, my 99%ile height babies both grew out of the infant seat by 6-7 months… so I wouldn’t necessarily recommend investing in an expensive infant seat!

We have the Nuna rava, it “fit” in my Nissan rogue, but the front passenger seat had to be really far ahead. Now I have a Highlander with captain seats in the middle row and it fits much better for baby #2. It’s a nice seat, but I think too big for most compact sedans
