Nuna Pipa RX
FAA approvedFMVSS 213
Verdict
The Pipa RX carrier weighs 7.9 lb and its base installs with rigid LATCH and a load leg. The bubble-free recline indicator and the belt lockoff make a correct install repeatable between cars.
The $550 list price sits near the top here, and the base is wide in small back seats. Travellers who fly often get the most from it; the Chicco KeyFit installs nearly as well for $320 less.
