Really Love this Seat - Few Minor Annoyances
February 12, 2019
Used a Graco for our first and it was fine, but for our second I wanted something different and did a TON of research. Landed on the Nuna Pipa for a few reasons:
1. Lightweight. Our previous graco was also one of the lighter on the market and I knew I needed something that was not heavier.
2. Added safety features. Love the base with load leg (and SO EASY to install)
3. Ability to use without base for travel.
4. DREAM DRAPE <3
5. Nice premium fabrics and materials.
We have also been looking for a new stroller, and Nuna seems to be compatible with most of the high-end strollers, which is a plus. A little more tricky (or impossible) when you stick with more mainstream strollers like Chicco or Graco.
Baby isn't here yet to testify to every day use or longevity, but overall i'm excited to use this seat! In playing around with it, there are a few MINOR things that irk me, however:
1. peekaboo window is velcro closure (WHY???)
2. without using the dream drape, the canopy does not really extend far or do much
3. the handlebar doesn't seem to have as much manueverability as our old Graco - it doesn't extend backward past the upright position. Not a huge deal, but bugs me a little that I can't move it back out of the way more.
4. the canopy seems to get in the way when adjusting the handlebar, or when holding the handlebar
While I do feel these minor things will bother me some day to day, the pros definitely outweight the cons with this seat!
