PIPA RX
The PIPA RX combines high-end materials with the RELX base, which includes a steel stability leg that significantly reduces rotation during an impact. Its GREENGUARD Gold certification ensures it meets some of the world's most rigorous third-party chemical emissions standards.
Ingredients & Purity
The seat is GREENGUARD Gold certified and uses organic jersey inserts. All components are FR-free (no added flame retardant chemicals), which is rare for the infant seat category.
Scientific Evidence
The RELX base features a steel stability leg and an anti-rebound plate. These features are clinically proven in crash simulations to reduce head injury criterion (HIC) scores significantly compared to seats without them.
Brand Transparency
Nuna provides clear information regarding their chemical-free manufacturing processes, though they are less transparent about specific crash test G-force data compared to Clek.
Value Assessment
High price point for a seat that is typically used for only 12-15 months, but the safety features and ease of installation (True lock system) justify the premium for many parents.
Why Not Alternatives?
Most infant seats use chemical flame retardants; Nuna uses naturally flame-resistant materials and organic cotton inserts. The inclusion of a load leg (stability leg) is a safety feature often omitted by competitors like UPPAbaby in their standard models.
