If you are deciding on which PIPA™ base is right for your family, look no further. All of our PIPA™ infant car seats (excluding the Pipa Urbn) are compatible with both the PIPA™ series base and the newer PIPA™ RELX base and both bases can be purchased separately.
- The original PIPA™ series base is included with purchase of the PIPA™, PIPA™ lite, and PIPA™ lite lx.
- The new PIPA™ RELX base is included with purchase of the PIPA™ rx, PIPA™ lite r, and PIPA™ lite rx.
Watch our Global Car Seat Safety Advocate, Bob Wall, explain our two bases here.
PIPA™ SERIES BASE PIPA™ RELX BASE
Both the PIPA™ series and PIPA™ RELX base include a stability leg, which extends from the front of the base down to the floor of your vehicle. Nuna was the first brand to successfully bring the stability leg to the United States market. The benefit of the stability leg is that it reduces the forward motion during a frontal impact by 90% while also reducing head injury by 46%.
Both bases also come with rigid lower anchors that featured Nuna's 5-second true lock install. Both bases can be installed using the vehicle seat belt since they both have a seat belt path and a seat belt lock off which can be used in vehicles that can't accommodate lower anchors. Both bases also include color indicators (red to green) on the stability leg and lower anchors to confirm proper installation.
