This car seat is ideal for families who don’t want to purchase a new car seat every few years and would prefer to have a single car seat to take their child through the entirety of their car seat riding days. Once the 65lbs/ 49in weight or height restrictions are exceeded the 5 point harness is simply stored away and the seat is ready to be used as a high back booster. Spring Touch shoulder belt guides make it easy for “big kids” to independently and properly buckle themselves in.

The Nuna EXEC provides a layer of anti-rebound protection not found on the RAVA. The EXEC features an integrated anti-rebound panel that stabilizes the car seat and prevents upward rotation in the event of a crash. When the car seat is turned forward facing, this anti-rebound panel becomes an adjustable leg rest to give extra support to dangling legs. Ventilation panels and knit fabric keep the seat cool and comfortable on long road trips. The EXEC one-ups the RAVA in convenience by providing magnetic harness holders.
