Here are the top differences between the Nuna PIPA Aire RX, Nuna PIPA RX, and Nuna PIPA Urbn infant car seats:
Installation Method: The Nuna PIPA RX and Nuna PIPA Aire RX come with the RELX base for traditional installation in a vehicle. They can also be installed without the base using a seat belt, providing flexibility. In contrast, the Nuna PIPA Urbn is a baseless infant car seat with integrated rigid LATCH connectors, providing ultra-sturdy installation without the need for a base.
Weight: At only 6.2 lbs, the Nuna PIPA Aire RX is the lightest infant car seat option among the three, making it ideal for parents seeking a lightweight car seat. The Nuna PIPA RX weighs 7.6 lbs, and the Nuna PIPA Urbn weighs 7 lbs.
Materials and Construction: The Nuna PIPA RX features EPS foam for protection. The Nuna PIPA Aire RX utilizes Aeroflex foam, a lightweight and flexible material that compresses to absorb and diffuse energy away from the baby, enhancing safety without sacrificing weight. The Nuna PIPA Urbn combines steel reinforcement and rigid LATCH connectors for sturdiness and security without a base.
Compatibility and Versatility: While all three models are compatible with Nuna strollers, the Nuna PIPA Urbn is only sold as part of a prepackaged travel system with select Nuna stroller models. The Nuna PIPA RX and Nuna PIPA Aire RX offer compatibility with a wider range of strollers and also can be used with strollers from other brands with the appropriate adapters.
These differences cater to various needs and preferences, ensuring that parents can find the right fit for their lifestyle and priorities.
