It can be used standalone, or in conjunction with it with a Nuna pushchair to form a travel system and is compatible with strollers from other brands, such as Silver Cross, Joolz, Bugaboo, i-Candy and Egg.

This unique feature is particularly beneficial for families that don't own their own vehicles, who use taxis or rideshare services regularly, or who need to transfer the seat quickly between different cars for everyday life, trips to the beach or to visit grandma's home.

It's a simple and quick procedure, with the latches swinging from their hiding places under the carrier, then you just click to connect, and then adjust the angle (if needed) using the blue indicator lines. It's faster and easier than installing the Clek Liingo that requires you to pivot the latches from behind the carrier to locate and line up the buckles.

Our test subject, a mother of a 7-week-old baby, discovered that the Pipa Urbn was simple to use and well-designed. It is lightweight and easy to carry and can be used with sleeping babies.
