Let's face it, we all know and love the Nuna Pipa but what's different about the brand
new Pipa Lite?
So we're going to go over all the features of these two car seats to see which one is
the right fit for your family.
Now first we're going to start with the features that they had to take out of the Pipa Lite
to get it so light.
Now this is basically a lighter version of the Nuna Pipa so the classic Nuna Pipa weighs
in at 7.9 lbs and the Pipa Lite weighs in at 5.3lbs.
It is a significant weight cut.
Now that doesn't include the canopy or the inserts, but still that's a super light car
seat and it even makes the Pipa Lite the lightest one on the market.
Now the biggest difference, or biggest feature that they took out of the light is the belt
route.
So you have the belt route here and the European belt route around the back.
And that's to install your car seat without the base.
So it is a convenience feature.
Now they took that out of the Lite, as you can see its not here or on the back because
that did add a lot of weight to the seat.
Now that means you can only install the Lite with a base.
So it's not ideal for city dwellers if you're going in taxi's a lot this isn't the car seat
for you but it is awesome if you are just planning on installing with the base anyway.
Now it also means that its not FAA approved which means you can't install it on an aircraft.
That one really isn't a con for me and probably most people because if they are in an infant
seat, they are still free to fly, you don't have to install it anyway, you just have to
check that car seat in instead.
Now they also had to take out something with the crotch buckle and harness adjuster.
So as you can see with this one there are two different crotch buckle positions to give
them a little bit more room as they grow.
Also with the harness adjuster the button is exposed so it makes it really easy to adjust.
Now that had a little bit of weight to it so they took it out on the Lite.
So the crotch buckle only has one slot, one location so that it's not going to adjust
and then also to adjust your harness you have to slip your finger into this slot to adjust
that strap.
It's really not too bad but it's pretty easy to find but it's not exposed like it was on
the original Pipa.
Now the last feature they took out of the Pipa Lite is the dream drape.
Now if you're not familiar with the classic Pipa it does have this extra fabric tucked
up in the canopy and you'll attach that to the front of the seat to give your baby extra
protection and reduce your need for an extra car seat canopy.
Now you're not going to get that in the Lite.
Now you do have a flip out visor and it's still a very generous canopy compared to others
on the market but you don't have the full dream drape.
Now both of them do have a SPF of 50 so they're still being protected by the sun.
Now also on the back of the classic Pipa you do have this little peek-a-boo window and
that as well is not on the Lite.
Now if this video doesn't address all your questions please let us know by commenting
below or sending us an email at hello@babycubby.com we are more than happy to answer questions
that we don't address here.
Now one of the biggest things or questions that we get with the Pipa Lite is, well is
it safe now because its so light?
Now they did change up a little bit of their safety features which I'm super happy about
and I might even lean a little bit more toward the Lite because of that feature.
Now the old Pipa uses EPS foam.
Now if you're not familiar EPS foam is a dense foam that's designed to actually break or
crumble in the event of a car accident absorbing that energy.
Now they do have, and it's kinda hard to see, they do have panels up here by the head of
that EPS foam.
Now they are smaller panels.
Now the upgrade they made with the Lite is using EPP foam.
Now the difference is EPP foam is again a dense foam but it's designed to compress and
bounce back when it's hit or in the event of a car accident, which is a more efficient
protection, but what they did which is a first in the industry or at least that I've seen
is what they've done is integrated it into the frame.
So these are fussed together but then they also offered more foam throughout the entire
lining of this seat.
And what that does is offer extra flexibility so that it's absorbing those crash forces
and diverting them away from your child.
So I absolutely love that safety feature.
Now one great feature of both seats is they are super compatible with many different stroller
brands including obviously Nuna, Uppababy, Bugaboo.
So they are going to be compatible with the exact same strollers using the exact same
adapters.
Now one improvement that they did make is to release it from most strollers you're going
to use these triggers right here pushing down on both of these at the same time.
That has always been something that's a little bit difficult for me and most parents.
Now with the Pipa Lite they changed it up a bit making it really easy as you can hear.
It's going to release that a lot easier and it's easier to tell if it's actually disconnected
so they actually improved that connectivity with those adapters in the Pipa Lite.
So another difference between the two seats is actually in the handle bar.
So they're both made out of aluminum but they did make the Lite a little bit thinner to
bring down that weight.
It also has this nice leatherette accessory handle bar so it's just a little bit nicer.
On the classic one it's going to be rubber, however that is offered in one of their limited
addition styles.
Now another difference is actually in the fabric.
So on your classic Pipa you have the nice polyester knit fabrics, they are soft, they're
beautiful, we love them but they did make an upgrade on the Lite where they used absolutely
no flame retardants in the fabric so they didn't have to add any chemicals so chemicals
are away from your baby which we love.
They are also a nice knit fabric they're very beautiful, super soft.
Ok another improvement that they made is actually in the infant inserts.
So on the Lite you actually get two separate inserts.
One is an infant support pillow including an infant wedge that will come out as your
baby grows but then a separate head piece.
The nice thing with that is you can kind of customize to fit your baby.
You might have a wider baby with a small head or you might have a really big head baby and
you can take this out sooner.
This is also memory foam for added comfort and energy absorption so that's really nice.
On the classic it's still nice, you do have that infant insert, but it is all one piece.
So it's all one piece you have to take it all out at the same time, you do still have
your wedge for little tiny infants, but it's all one piece so its not quite as customizable.
Now one little thing that they did add on the Lite is these little harness pockets,
now that's to hold your harness out of the way as you're putting your child in so you
don't loose those buckles underneath their bum.
You're not going to get that on the classic.
Now whats included in the two seats.
In the classic Pipa you're going to get your latch guides.
Now these are for easy installation in getting those latches into those lower anchors, you're
also going to get your base.
Which makes for super solid easy installation now this is one of the things that makes this
seat so safe.
You have your rigid latch and then you also have your load leg.
Both of these features make it a super safe installation and also easy.
Now with the Lite you're still going to get those latch guides.
You're also going to get that base, that super safe installation it's the exact same base
so those are interchangeable but then they added additional inserts.
Now these are GOTS certified organic cotton.
The nice thing about this is it's great for blowouts.
You have a blow out you can put in new inserts while your washing your original inserts.
Or if you prefer the organic cotton by your baby you can use these from the start.
Both colors of the Lite are going to have the same color inserts.
So you do get a little bit more for your money with the Lite.
Now the Pipa Lite is available in two colors.
So you can get the grey or Fog, which is this one or you can a black version which is Ebony,
and that retails for $349.
Now the original Pipa is available in 6 colors including a limited version which has that
leatherette handlebar and some other nice upgraded fabrics, these are going to retail
for $299 or for the limited edition $349.
