- Adjustable headrest: Padded with Nuna's memory foam, and adjusts as your baby grows.
- UPF 50+ canopy: Shades your baby from the sun.

Always used with the base
The PIPA lite carrier cannot be used on its own in the car. It must always be clicked onto the PIPAFIX base, which is included. The base is fitted into your car first, and can be installed in one of two ways: with ISOFIX, or with your car's 3-point seatbelt. Use one method only, never both together.
Installing the base with ISOFIX
- Place the base rear-facing on a vehicle seat with ISOFIX anchor points (ideally the back seat).
- Extend the ISOFIX connectors and line them up with the anchor points in the gap between your car's seat back and seat cushion.
- Push the connectors onto the anchor points until both click and the indicators show green.
- Push the base firmly back towards the seat back so it sits snugly.
- Unfold the stability leg and extend it until it rests firmly on the car floor. Check its indicator shows green.
- Give the base a firm shake. It shouldn't move more than a little side to side.
Installing the base with a seatbelt
For cars without ISOFIX:
- Place the base rear-facing on a vehicle seat with a 3-point retractor seatbelt.
- Route the seatbelt through the belt guides on the base, exactly as shown in the instruction manual, and buckle it.
- Press down on the base and pull the seatbelt as tight as possible, with no slack or twists.
- Unfold the stability leg and extend it until it rests firmly on the car floor.
- Check the base is firm and doesn't slide or tip.
Clicking the carrier on
With the base installed, lower the carrier onto it until it clicks into place, then pull up on the handle to make sure it's locked. To remove it, press the release on the carrier and lift it off. Never place the seat on a front seat with an active airbag, never use a lap-only (2-point) belt, and always follow the instruction manual and your vehicle handbook. Need help with the fit?

Using it with a pram
The PIPA lite can go on a pram with the right car seat adapter, including many Maxi-Cosi-style adapters. Fit depends on your exact pram model, so always check that your adapter names the Nuna Pipa, or contact us before buying and we'll help you check your pram.
Clearance stock
New, limited stock of a discontinued Nuna model, sold at a clearance price, with the PIPAFIX base included. The carrier is designed for the PIPAFIX base and isn't compatible with Nuna's current bases (Base Next or PIPA next base). As with all car seats, it can't be returned.
Disclaimer
Always follow the instruction manual and your vehicle handbook. Use rear-facing only. Replace the seat and base after any accident, even with no visible damage. Don't use the seat without its soft goods, or if any part is damaged or missing. Keep it out of direct sunlight when not in use, as the shell can get hot. Always secure your baby with the harness, even on short trips, and never leave them unattended. The car seat is for travel, not for sleep outside the car.
Pandylane Pro Tip: Fit the base before your due date. Once it's in, getting your baby into the car is just a click.
