Nuna’s Pipa Urbn travel system tested review: City dwellers will love this baseless model

25/06/2023

The Nuna brand, known for its luxury baby gear, recently released a new baseless car seat offering: the Pipa Urbn. It weighs just 7 pounds, making it one of the lightest infant car seats out there. It’s sold only as a travel system with your choice of one of three Nuna strollers: the Triv Next, Mixx Next or the Trvl, so it comes with a hefty price tag ($900-$1,200). But where it truly aims to differentiate is with its baseless design, ideal for those who don’t have a car where the infant seat’s base would normally dwell around the clock. Instead, the Pipa Urbn car seat installs to the latch system on its own sans base, making it easy to pop into a taxi or a rental as needed and then back onto the stroller to cruise around.

The Forbes Vetted team has raved about some of Nuna’s items in the past, including its sought-after, aforementioned travel stroller, the Nuna Trvl, so we were curious to check out its new car seat stroller combo offering. I tested the car seat with the Triv Next stroller and my 6-month-old. As a mother to three children and a baby gear and fitness product reviewer for the last decade, I felt well equipped to review it. The initial setup of the whole apparatus was overly complicated, but in the end, I found the car seat sleek and convenient for rideshares—and the stroller particularly compelling. Read on for my full review of the new Pipa Urbn infant car seat stroller travel system.

 

My older kids (3 and 5.5) spent their infant days in the Chicco KeyFit, and my 6-month-old was riding in that until the Pipa Urbn came along.
