Solid and strong base
July 20, 2020
The RELX infant car seat base for NUNA pipa series infant car seat is an extremely solid base! It's larger than most bases that I've used before and the sturdiest and heaviest one too! It was simple to install in our car (Acura MDX) as the anti-rebound panel sat snuggly against the seat. The extension of the three-piece steel stability leg worked beautifully to add additional stability.
I really like how the latch system works without additional belt length adjustments as it's just required the proper pivot and it just snaps into place. Even if you miss the sound of the clicking of the latch, the green indicator lets you know you've completed the task.
Such a minor thing but adds to the quality of life; the recline system is convenience and easy to use. It just takes a quick press of the gray button and then you gently slide into the desired position! I like that the label is clearly visible on the base to reduce any guess work and/or the need to open the manual (with regard to position and weight).
As long as you're not moving this in and out of the car so often, or switching from multiple vehicles, then this base will work great for you to in conjunction with the pipa rx seat! It's completely intuitive and easy to use with the possible exception of the three-piece steel stability leg as it's the first time I've used a base with this feature. Once you get it setup though, you don't have to even give it another though.
Where I think the base falls a bit short is the lack of flexibility on the latch system. Since it was designed as a ridged latch system, you may not have the right seating options (where you can mount the seat), for instance, we cannot install this base in the center seat as the latch points don't line up where expected.
Either way, this RELX infant car seat base for NUNA really does a great job of securing the pipa rx seat. I think you can drive confidently knowing that your little loved once is securely in their infant seat attached to a strong base!
