Bugaboo Turtle vs Nuna PIPA | Car Seat Comparison

At first glance, the Nuna PIPA car seat and the Bugaboo Turtle car seat seem pretty similar. They both utilize the same car seat base, both secure into a car with either rigid LATCH installation or seat belt installation. So, what’s the catch?

Spoiler alert: there isn’t one! Both the Bugaboo Turtle and the Nuna PIPA are awesome car seats that feature a lot of the same great design elements. In fact, they both pop up in our Car Seat Buying Guide! That being said, there are a few key differences between these two bestsellers. 

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE: BUGABOO TURTLE VS NUNA PIPA

The first dissimilarity between the Nuna PIPA and the Bugaboo Turtle is the price of each car seat. The Nuna PIPA is $299.95, while the Bugaboo Turtle clocks in at $349.00. This higher pricing for the Bugaboo Turtle is due to the Turtle’s more advanced design features, such as its fashionable textiles and its no-adapters-necessary compatibility with the Bugaboo Fox stroller. 

Another big, cost-elevating feature on the Bugaboo Turtle is the Smart Visor. Perfect for napping on-the-go, the Turtle’s Smart Visor is an evolved version of the PIPA’s Dream Drape. It features a no-zip extendable canopy that features mesh siding for maximum airflow. Need to block out the sun’s rays for a snooze? Just utilize the handy magnets sewn into the canopy to attach the canopy to the frame of the stroller, creating a portable blackout curtain. 

SAFETY FIRST

All this being said, the Bugaboo Turtle and the Nuna PIPA both have the great safety features that parents look for in a car seat. Built with steel frames and flame retardant chemical-free fabric, the Bugaboo Turtle and the Nuna PIPA are both great options for any family looking for a strong, sensible car seat that features a bit of flair.
