Car seat adapter wisdom: will a Nuna Pipa Urbn fit on these Oyster adpaters?

6 replies

I've been wading through the treacle of pram/car seat choice for months....
I think I'm finally set on getting the Oyster Gravity +. These are the car seat adpaters for it https://babystyledirect.co.uk/products/oyster-3-multi-car-seat-adaptors/
It lists a few car seats they are compatible with but I don't think this is exhaustive.
I'm keen on the Nuna Pipa Urbn car seat. Trying to figure out if it will fit these adapters. This review https://www.mumsnet.com/reviews/nuna-pipa-urbn-car-seat-review says "With Maxi-Cosi style adaptors (which work much like universal adaptors) Nuna car seats can also be used with popular stroller brands including Bugaboo, Cybex, Joolz, Silver Cross, Thule, and UPPAbaby"... anyone know if it this will also apply to the Oyster?

Thank you!

Yes those adapters are the right ones for Nuna.

I know you said you were keen on the Nuna seat, but they often put newborns into an unfavourable ‘chin to chest’ position. There are much more supportive infant carriers available. If you’re open to it, have a look at the Maxi Cosi Cabriofix, Britax Babysafe Core, Avionaut Cosmo or Pixel Pro and the BeSafe Go Beyond system. All will fit on the Oyster with the universal adapters.

The Nuna Pipa URBN is one of only two seats with the isofix arms actually attached to the seat itself, meaning no base needed, which is probably why OP wants it. None of those other seats have that feature. The inserts aren't too bad - they are never going to give you as brilliant a fit as the Avionaut ones but they seem to do a decent job of levelling out the bump from the head support. It is better than the older Nuna inserts.

Joie Sprint is the other one (and is cheaper) but has the disadvantage of having no ability to fit using seatbelt.

Thank you. I did read about this and was concerned, but weighing up options with practicality - I thought it would be ok as I am not planning on doing long drives. But will have another look - thanks for the recommendations

Thank you - yes that was my rationale! That's good to know this Nuna is better than previous. Thanks very much and will keep Avionaut in mind
