Nuna Rava vs Nuna REVV vs Nuna Exec: How Do They Compare
- Weight and Height: The Nuna RAVA offers rear-facing capabilities for children weighing 5-50 pounds and measuring 49 inches or less, while forward-facing mode accommodates children weighing 25-65 pounds, also up to 49 inches in height, and at least 2 years of age. The Nuna REVV is suitable for rear-facing use with children weighing 5-40 pounds and measuring up to 43 inches in height. Forward-facing mode supports children weighing 25-40 pounds, up to 43 inches tall, and at least 2 years old. As for the Nuna EXEC, it provides rear-facing convertible functionality for children weighing 5-50 pounds, measuring 49 inches or less, and forward-facing convertible for children weighing 25-65 pounds, also up to 49 inches in height. Additionally, the EXEC transitions into a belt-positioning booster for children weighing 40-120 pounds, with a height range of 38-57 inches, typically starting at 4 years of age.
- Functionality: The RAVA stands as Nuna's initial convertible design, prioritizing reliability and simplicity. The REVV introduces a 360-degree rotation feature for added convenience during installation. Meanwhile, the EXEC, while lacking rotation capabilities, transforms into a booster seat, offering versatility as your child grows.
- Anti-Rebound Mechanism: Both the REVV and EXEC incorporate an anti-rebound panel, enhancing stability during potential collisions. In contrast, the RAVA lacks this feature, emphasizing a simpler design approach.
- Harness Buckle Management: Innovative magnet mechanisms on the REVV and EXEC ensure hassle-free harness buckling, while the RAVA employs tab-sliding technology for a secure fit.
- Calf Support: Striving for enhanced comfort, the EXEC boasts an adjustable 8-inch leg rest, providing flexibility for growing legs. In comparison, the RAVA offers a fixed calf support, extending legroom by 2 inches. The REVV, however, foregoes this feature entirely.
These differences cater to various needs and preferences, ensuring that parents can find the right fit for their lifestyle and priorities.
