Nuna Convertible Car Seats: From Newborn to Toddler to Big Kid

If your little one is outgrowing their infant car seat or you’re interested in skipping an infant car seat altogether, a convertible car seat is definitely on your shopping list. At Magic Beans, we match hundreds of families with their ideal convertible car seats every year. We’ve noticed over the years that Nuna is always a favorite with our customers - and for good reason! Nuna made their mark in the US with their famous Nuna PIPA infant car seat. Years later, they began expanding their car seat line up and introduced their first convertible car seat, the Nuna RAVA. The Nuna RAVA quickly became one of the most popular convertible car seats in the US. As expected Nuna delivered in quality, safety and convenience. Through the years Nuna has continued to evolve the RAVA and their car seat assortment. Following the launch of the RAVA, Nuna then introduced the Nuna EXEC All-in-One car seat which can be used from birth to booster. The newest addition to the Nuna convertible car seat line-up is the Nuna REVV. The REVV is the most innovative to date, offering a 360 degree swivel design. For parents looking for the best protection paired with superior quality Nuna is an obvious choice- but deciding on the right Nuna model is not always so easy. We’re here to break it down for you!

Weight and Height Restrictions for Nuna RAVA

The Nuna RAVA is a convertible car seat, meaning it can only be used with the 5 point harness to 65 pounds or 49 inches (so the age limit is approximately 4 or 5 years old). This is the typical height and weight restriction of most convertible car seats. When the height and weight restrictions are exceeded it is time to transition to high back booster seat, like the Nuna AACE.

Aside from all of the great safety features already detailed for the Nuna RAVA, it also features an adjustable leg rest panel that flips out from the car seat itself and affords your little extra room as they grow. While it is normal, safe, and expected for your child’s feet to touch your vehicle seat back while rear facing, this extra legroom can increase their comfort before turning them forward-facing.

Nuna EXEC All-In-One Car Seat

WHAT IS AN ALL-IN-ONE CAR SEAT?

The Nuna EXEC is considered an all-in-one car seat. That is, it is suitable for use from birth to 120 pounds or 57 inches. All-in-one, birth to booster seats, were first made popular by Graco with the Graco Extend2Fit but it is Nuna who has perfected the All-in-one design with their EXEC.

How long can you use the nuna exec?

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.

WHAT MAKES THE NUNA EXEC SO SAFE AND COMFORTABLE?

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.
