Height: less than 29 inches
(74 cm)
It is recommended to keep
your child rear facing as long
as possible, until at least 2
years old.
WARNING
DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY
can occur if you fail to follow
the warnings, instructions and
labels on the child restraint.
A child’s safety is your
responsibility. NEVER leave
your child unattended.
Read all instructions before
use of this child restraint
or installation in a vehicle.
In addition, read the
vehicle owner’s manual for
information on child restraint
installation.
Store the instruction manual in the
pocket located within the seat pad.
Register your child restraint
with the manufacturer.
Secure this child restraint with
the vehicle’s child restraint
anchorage system if available,
or with a vehicle belt.
This child restraint can ONLY
be used in a rear facing
position when using in a
vehicle. The child restraint
cannot be properly secured in
a forward facing position, and
will be unsafe. Use only with
children who weigh between
4 and 22 pounds (1.8 and
10 kg) and whose height is
29 inches (74 cm) or less.
Exceeding these height and
weight limits is unsafe.
Cover the child restraint
when your vehicle is parked
in sunlight. Parts of a child
restraint can become very hot
if left in the sun, and can burn
a child’s skin. Check for hot
parts before putting your child
in the child restraint.
NEVER use a car seat that has
been involved in a moderate
to severe crash. See page 11
to learn what is classified as a
moderate to severe crash.

8PIPA urbn instructions 9PIPA urbn instructions
Snugly adjust the belts
provided with this child
restraint around your child.
If straps are not snugly adjusted,
child may be ejected from seat
in the event of an accident.
A snug strap should not allow
any slack. It lies in a relatively
straight line without sagging.
It does not press on the child’s
flesh or push the child’s body
into an unnatural position.
EXPIRATION DATE Check
the label on the underside of
the seat for expiration date
information.
FALL HAZARD Child’s activity
can move carrier. NEVER
place carrier on counter
tops, tables, or any other
elevated surface. Always stay
within arm’s reach whenever
carrier is not on floor/ground.
Be sure handle locks into
position before lifting carrier.
The carrier
can fall from a
shopping cart.
DO NOT use on
a shopping cart.
STRANGULATION HAZARD
Children have strangled in
loose or partially buckled
harness straps. Fully restrain
the child even when carrier is
used outside the vehicle.
SUFFOCATION HAZARD
Infant carrier can roll over on soft
surfaces and suffocate child.
Never place carrier on beds,
sofas, or other soft surfaces.
DO NOT allow anyone who
has not read the instruction
manual to install or use this
child restraint.
DO NOT allow child restraint
to contact the vehicle interior
(side of car door or seat
in front).
DO NOT use child restraint
if it has frayed or cut harness
straps, or is damaged in any
way. To find out if damaged
parts are replaceable, call
1-855-NUNA-USA.
NEVER modify any part of the
child restraint.
DO NOT attempt to
use this carrier with
a base.

10 PIPA urbn instructions 11PIPA urbn instructions
DO NOT use any products or
accessories with this child
restraint unless they are
approved by Nuna for use
with this child restraint. Doing
so may be unsafe and may
void the warranty.
DO NOT leave child restraint
in vehicle when uninstalled,
even when unoccupied. In
a crash, it could become a
projectile and injure other
vehicle occupants.
NEVER use clothing or
blankets that interfere with
providing a properly tightened
harness. An unsecured or
improperly harnessed child
can come out of the restraint
during a crash. Place blankets
over child AFTER harness has
been properly tightened.
Only use with Nuna strollers
or appropriate Nuna adapters
designed for use with other
strollers.
Car Seat Use after
a Crash
The National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA)
recommends that car seats be
replaced following a moderate
or severe crash. Car seats do not
automatically need to be replaced
following a minor crash.
What defines a minor crash?
A minor crash is one in which ALL of
the following apply:
• The vehicle was able to be
driven away from the crash site.
• The vehicle door nearest the car
seat was not damaged.
• None of the passengers in the
vehicle sustained any injuries in
the crash.
• If the vehicle has air bags, none
of the air bags deployed during
the crash; and
• There is no visible damage to
the car seat.
NEVER use a car seat that has been
involved in a moderate to severe
crash. Contact Nuna with questions
or concerns about your seat.
Information from nhtsa.gov

12 PIPA urbn instructions 13PIPA urbn instructions
passenger side air bags, check your
vehicle owner’s manual for child
restraint installation instructions.
According to accident statistics,
children are safer when properly
restrained in the rear seating
positions than in the front seating
positions.
Vehicle Belt Use
Refer to your vehicle owner’s manual
to determine if the belts in your vehicle
lock by switching the seat belt’s
retractor OR if they have a locking
latch plate that locks the vehicle’s seat
belt so they will hold the child restraint
tightly without loosening.
(Vehicle Belt Use continued on the
next page)
Vehicle

ALL child restraint related
instructions and warnings in your
vehicle owner’s manual to correctly

that face to the sides or rear of the
