Hi, I'm Dr. Anita Chandra with today's tip for kids from the American Academy of Pediatrics.
Parents should have a car safety seat in their vehicle for their baby's first ride home.
But how do you know it's installed correctly?
Some common mistakes are a seat that's not installed tightly enough,
or at the wrong angle.
The harness should fit snugly,
with the chest clip right about armpit level.
And don't have extra fabric between your baby and the harness - it won't protect as well in a crash.

The County Seat Horse and Burro Summit - Duration: 28:51.
Welcome to The County Seat I'm your
host Chad Booth. Today we are
talking about wild or feral horses.
There are some 43,000 of them in
holding pins right now and if they
bring the range size down to an
appropriate level, we'll be looking at
seventy some odd thousand horses
additional. They cost $20,000 apiece
to keep. That's 1.2 billion dollars we
currently owe an it will double if we
bring more into pasture. How do you
solve the problem? That's our show
today. Let's learn a little bit more
about wild horses to start.
When we think about wild horses on the range
images like this one usually come to mind.
However the reality is far harsher.
It is images like this show the true plight of wild
horse herds in the western United States.
In 2014 there were roughly 3,000 wild horses
and burros in Utah and about 33,000
nationwide. Fast forward to this year and there
are now 5,000 in Utah and 72,000 on ranges
nationwide.
According to the rules set out in Wild Free-
Roaming horse and burro act of 1971, federal
agencies were to manage wild herds while
maintaining a thriving ecological balance and
multiple-use relationship. At the time the
sustainable number was estimated to be 25,000
animals, roughly a third of what the population
is now. And the numbers just continue to grow.
"The horses don't have much in the way of
natural control in their numbers other than
through starvation and dehydration and that
doesn't occur until the resources on the range
have been depleted. And that is a slow ugly
death for the horses involved."
Currently 46,000 horses and burros are living in
BLM holding facilities. The cost to maintain that
number is using roughly two thirds of the horse
and burro program budget, a cost estimated at
50 million dollars.
This is why the National Wild Horse and Burro
summit was held in Salt Lake City recently. A
solution needs to be found before the cost
becomes too much for the BLM to handle,
before rangelands are decimated, and before
the horses breed themselves into oblivion.
"That's why I'm here today is to participate in
these conversations to see if we can help drive
some ideas and some solutions that will really
help us tackle the overpopulation of wild horses
and burros and produce healthy rangelands."
In today's panel discussion, we'll focus on the
options presented at the horse and burrow
summit and ask what lawmakers need to do to
help fix the ongoing problem.
For the County Seat I'm Malia Stringham.
Thanks Malia, the Horse and Burro
Summit has yielded some very good
information and some very
interesting speakers. We are going to
talk to four of them, when we come
back on The County Seat.
Welcome back to The County Seat we
are doing an update and wild horses
and burros because of the recent
summit in Salt Lake City joining us for
this conversation is John Ruse who is
the acting deputy director of
operations for the BLM transplant for
the time being from Washington DC
thank you for joining us. We have J.J.
Goicoechea who is a veteran of our
show and a Nevada State
veterinarian and the chair of the
county commission for Eureka County
in Nevada. We have Eric Thacker
who is an assistant professor at Utah
State University and you are also the
range specialist. Which gives us a
great conversation. I have noticed in
this summit as there have been other
horse and burro events we have gone
to as The County Seat over the years
that this one has some difference to
it there are a lot of changes in
motion. Most notably changes in the
range conditions changes in the herd
and herd populations and it seems
like there is a change in policy where
at least how the federal government
is acknowledging what is going on
with the horses that is publicly has
not ever shown up before so that is
what I would like to focus on. I think
probably most important to start
with the range issues so Eric if we
could talk to you for just a second.
Let's talk about what conditions have
changed on the range.
The wild horse and burro problems
are not new problems we have kind
of reached a point and a lot of people
are referring to it as a breaking point
wild horses are at the highest
population they have ever been in
certain parts the range of experience
with the pretty dramatic drought
over the last few years which
exacerbates the range condition even
worse and so it has reached a point
where people are concerned that we
have reached a breaking point that
something needs to be done now
because of the range condition and
we have already crossed what a lot of
people would call an ecological
threshold meaning even if the horses
come off the range right now all the
grazing animals come off the range
right now it would not return to its
previous condition because of the
damage it has been done. So a lot of
this is triage and trying to stop the
bleeding so to speak before it gets
any worse.
So is there more of a willingness to
look at some of these issues. I
jumping down to the other end here
on policy, I have not ever actually
heard acknowledgments of saying we
need the tools back of being able to
sell them outright and that has never
ever come up publicly from the BLM
but it was part of two presentations
today.
It is very important for us to have the
full set of tools in order for us to do
the job that Congress gave us in the
1971 wild horse and burro act. I
think it is we are at a precipice you
talk about range conditions and if we
do not acknowledge the fact that
horse numbers are too high and we
have to take some active
management the situation is going to
get completely it's so out of kilter
now we cannot sustain it.
Two years ago J.J. when you were last
on the show we were still way out in
numbers and from the BLM's part
this was not part of their public
dialogue it was we have tools we are
not allowed to sell outright we are
not allowed to engage in euthanasia
has things changed with the herds as
well?
Things have changed not only with
the herds we are starting to see some
dramatic body condition changes in
some of these horses they are very
thin we are seeing some die offs of
horses in some places late in the
summer. But all the other species
that are out there we have started to
see some significant changes as well.
Our wildlife is being impacted by the
over population of wild horse out
there we have been warned about
this for 20 to 25 years and we are
now finally really starting to see that
and I think that is what is changing
this conversation today.
So what is a good range? How many
animals should be out there, that is
my question? What do you think?
I jump in first I think let's get to
where we are supposed to be
currently and then we can have a
conversation about whether that is
still too many. I think is kind of an
academic argument pointless
argument is the 27,000 which is the
high AML (Appropriate Management
Levels) is that too many or not
enough the conversation says let's
get them to AML and then we can
reevaluate whether or not we need
to go lower or maybe we can handle
fewer we cannot even have that
conversation until we get there in
Utah we have not ever been at AML
since the 90's. So we don't even
know what it looks like to be at AML.
I agree with Eric we have to AML but
most likely we will probably see some
number changes ups and down
perhaps in some areas because the
ecological sites have changed since
1971 where those 27,000 horses
were in 1971 I do not think we can
carry 27,000 horses in those identical
places again today because of the
range deterioration.
This is a good place to hold and I
want to come back and address can
we actually accomplish this if we are
like 60,000 horses over AML we will
take a break on The County Seat and
we will be right back.
Welcome back to The County Seat we
are talking today about the wild
horse and burro situation a recent
summit in Salt Lake City brought all
the people together put the best
minds together and working on a
solution. So I want to start and I have
two questions I really want to get in
this segment and John here is the
first one. You have 60,000 too many
horses out there not even counting
Indian lands not even counting what
is in the pastures can we actually do
this?
We have to. So the question is how
and that is what this summit has
been about is to try to find and have
a dialogue and look at options and
look at finding those ways how do we
work together to come up with
solutions to dealing with 60,000
horses.
So I understand that the intent is
right but I am going to be honest with
you live in an environment with an
agency that likes static things not
dynamic and from what I am hearing
this is going to require being very
dynamic on the range and how we
handle the things because we have
got population shifting around and
you have a lot of variables on the
ground including drought weather
and everything else. So how do you
make that shift?
For the agency we have to go back to
some of our foundational principals.
We have to go back to the wild horse
and burro act itself which talked
about management we have to back
to FLPMA the federal land policy
management act because that also
give us direction on management. So
if we get back to our foundational
purpose our mission if you will then
tell us we need to be managing and
that is where we have to go and what
we have to do we have to focus on
those foundational principals.
Those are really tough if you go into it
and read the 1971 act it talks about
excess horses being sold out right for
euthanasia it talks about things that
are currently unpopular but are those
not going to have to be in the tool
box to work?
You know I think they are. They are
going to have to be in the tool box
other ways of curbing our
reproductive growth and in the tool
box we need to get down to AML that
means we have to find that capacity
off range to get there. That is going
to require some additional tools that
currently are not palatable today.
But I ask everyone is it palatable to
allow these horses to starve? To die
for lack of water and to allow all the
other resources out there to suffer
the same consequences because the
horse is the last one to show that.
We are going to have to take some
unpleasant steps if we are ever going
to get this. Every day we wait it
becomes more and more unpleasant.
So Eric looking at the range
conditions are the advocates that
save we have to protect the horses at
all costs just give them all the range,
are they being unrealistic at looking
at what the range can sustain.
I cannot speak for them directly but
what I can speak to with an animal
with a 20% annual growth rate even
if all the cattle come off the range
that's a lot of the conflict now is let's
take more cattle off and put more
horses on that really doesn't address
the problem. We will just add more
horses to more land and we will still
end up we are not solving any
problems with that because we still
have a species that is nonnative there
is no ecological regulatory
mechanisms to control population so
that is really not a solution. See what
I am trying to say in the short term
we might have more animals but it
will just exasperate the problem.
So Eric maybe you want to touch on
as a range scientist what happens to
those remaining ecological sites that
are still intact and maybe functioning
at risk.
Well I should have finished because
what that means is you are now
spreading the problem. Right now
we have like in Utah we have 19 wild
horse management areas if we just
took the boundaries off those and let
the horses go where they want we
would just expand those problems to
a broader cross section of the range
so ultimately lead to more range land
degradation and more of the same
issues we are dealing with now so it is
not a solution.
The advocates look at it from saying
we have to get the cattle guys off as
we should all be vegetarians anyway.
That kind of seems like the argument.
So what happens to the wildlife in
those cases? We are still forgetting
we have native wildlife because this
is an introduced species the horse
and we have native wildlife they are
being pushed onto our private
property in so many places across the
west already, where the horses are
forcing them off of these eco systems
that is only going to continue you can
remove all of the domestic livestock
from public lands that wild life is then
the next species that is going to
suffer.
I think that is the one thing that is
often not brought up. It polarizes the
argument to would you rather have
horses than cows on the range?
Which to a lot of people it may sound
appealing but that is completely
discounting the fact that it would
lead to wide spread loss of wild life
and wild life habitat that is also very
important.
We are not just talking about elk here
are we? We are talking birds, we are
talking all kinds of things.
Well its multiple use and that is
John's agency mission if you will is
multiple use.
Correct.
You know the presentation that
Brock McMillian from BYU gave today
illustrates this point perfectly. Even
with song birds which they don't live
on the ground with horses you would
think you saw more than 50%
reduction in the numbers of birds
around water holes where horses
were versus where horses were
excluded. So the point is that they
have an impact on everything else in
those systems. We have largely
ignored the impacts to wildlife up to
this point because that has not been
part of the discussion which I think
needs to be part of the discussion.
Let me take you back quickly to the
wild horse and burro act where it
tells us to maintain a thriving
ecological balance and a balance of
all the uses that are out there. Not
just the horse or burro.
Now that is something I do not think I
would have heard from your agency a
year and half ago or two years ago.
It is a natural ecological balance as
well.
Correct.
What is naturally there we do not
want to supplement with additional
water sources or haul water or those
types of things to do what Eric said
and put the problem somewhere
else.
Well there are going to be those who
say oh yes, the horse is a native
species it started in the North
American continent in the prehistoric
times and so now it is not native
because it moved to Europe and has
come back. I have heard people make
this argument.
They have one of the presenters
today actually addressed that. The
horse that evolved here in North
America went extinct over 10,000
years ago. Gone.
So did all of its predators.
That's the large part of it that was ice
age stuff a lot of things changed so
the horses that are here today are of
Spanish and European descent and
are not related to those original
horses.
John question for you very short
answer. Are you equipped with the
tools that you need right now or are
your hands tied as an agency?
We have a lot of tools and what we
need right now is a full suite of tools
then we need the partnership with
the state and local governments and
the people that live on the ground to
help us accomplish those things.
Could you do that today could you
implement an outright sale and a
euthanasia policy?
No we need assistance from
Congress.
Okay we are going to take a break
and address that issue when we
come back right here on the county
seat and we are talking about wild
horse and burros and doing an
update some very interesting
conversation and there is a dynamic
in this conference I have never seen
before. We will be right back.
Welcome back to the county seat we
took the gauntlet seriously about
Congress needing to do something so
we have substituted John for this last
segment with Clay White who is the
assistance legislative director for
Representative Chris Stewart out of
Utah. We are going to start this and
let's just say the balls in your court
the BLM has said you guys have got
to make something happen in
Congress is this even possible right
now?
Well thanks for having me on Chad
and the previous guest John was
absolutely right. Let me very clear
this is a congressional created
problem the BLM does not have all
the tools in their tool box that they
were meant to have from the 1971
horse and burro act Congress has
taken many of those tools away and
not allowed them to use those. So
we have been working on addressing
this problem since Mr. Stewart came
into congress. He has become known
as the wild horse guy he holds up
pictures every year in the
appropriations committee because
that is where this rider prevents the
BLM with the wild horses and burros
from having additional management
tools. To answer your question I think
it is possible. We have moved the
ball inch by inch we will take a first
down instead of a touch down.
To be quite frank and I am not trying
to put you on the spot Clay but if you
listen to these two we do not have
time to do a first in ten. I mean it's
got to be a Hail Mary at this point
because if it takes another 20 years
to get those tools put back there is
not going to be any range left.
Absolutely and I 100% agree with
that we are at a tipping point and
unfortunately that is when Congress
acts is when their backs are against
the wall we tend to not do anything
proactively we tend to do things at
midnight before it runs out of time.
So Clay you guys and Congressman's
Stewart's office and some others
across the west but what do we need
to do those of us on the ground who
are really seeing this day to day the
ecological damage the damage to the
horses themselves the death to the
horses. How do we need to reach out
to those others in Congress and make
them understand just how significant
this is today?
That is our biggest hurdler we have to
cross. Members of congress on both
sides of the isle do not fully
understand this problem this is a
western issue that is out of sight and
out of mind to most members of
Congress.
What do you hit them with? Do you
hit them with the 1 billion dollars it's
going to take to keep these horses in
pastures?
Absolutely the cost the inhumane
treatment that the animals are
receiving currently on the range
where they are starving to death we
have scientific based evidence this
horse conference is a great
illustration of that. That is why I am
saying that our partners on our side
of the isle and the other side of the
isle are starting to come around. Mr.
Stewart was successful in giving the
BLM more tools this past July in the
appropriations process and we are
hopeful that will be in the end of the
year spending package.
Five years ago I think when we first
did our very first County Seat on this
issue I was scolded from bringing up
slaughter. I said the word, even by
panelist. They said you cannot say
that. Are we are the point to me it
seems like a solution we really have
to look at is this opening stuff up for
commercial sale again.
It depends on your definition of
slaughter. It really does. Mr.
Stewart's amendment will still
prohibit slaughter for commercial and
human consumption but it will allow
the BLM to euthanize excess horses.
That is a tool that they have not had
in their tool bag for decades. So
when I say we are making progress
those are some of things we are
doing. Granted they are not all the
tools but we had to realize the
political reality and we got our
friends on the other side of the isle to
agree with us. They did not oppose
Mr. Stewart's amendment they said
we won't vote against it and it
received a technically unanimous
vote because there was not recorded
vote called.
I guarantee I will get emails about
this but we are at a point where
something needs to happen and I am
asking everybody who watches this
show this is one you need to get
involved in you need to start making
your point known that we need to do
something about this give congress
the courage through representatives
to do what they need to do to change
the policy to make things happen.
Share this with your friends share it
on social media we have to get these
pictures and this dialogue out to
everybody so do that and we will
catch you next week on The County
Seat.

New 2017 Nuna Pipa Lite Vs. Nuna Pipa | Infant Car Seat Comparison - Duration: 9:37.
Let's face it, we all know and love the Nuna Pipa but what's different about the brand
new Pipa Lite?
So we're going to go over all the features of these two car seats to see which one is
the right fit for your family.
Now first we're going to start with the features that they had to take out of the Pipa Lite
to get it so light.
Now this is basically a lighter version of the Nuna Pipa so the classic Nuna Pipa weighs
in at 7.9 lbs and the Pipa Lite weighs in at 5.3lbs.
It is a significant weight cut.
Now that doesn't include the canopy or the inserts, but still that's a super light car
seat and it even makes the Pipa Lite the lightest one on the market.
Now the biggest difference, or biggest feature that they took out of the light is the belt
route.
So you have the belt route here and the European belt route around the back.
And that's to install your car seat without the base.
So it is a convenience feature.
Now they took that out of the Lite, as you can see its not here or on the back because
that did add a lot of weight to the seat.
Now that means you can only install the Lite with a base.
So it's not ideal for city dwellers if you're going in taxi's a lot this isn't the car seat
for you but it is awesome if you are just planning on installing with the base anyway.
Now it also means that its not FAA approved which means you can't install it on an aircraft.
That one really isn't a con for me and probably most people because if they are in an infant
seat, they are still free to fly, you don't have to install it anyway, you just have to
check that car seat in instead.
Now they also had to take out something with the crotch buckle and harness adjuster.
So as you can see with this one there are two different crotch buckle positions to give
them a little bit more room as they grow.
Also with the harness adjuster the button is exposed so it makes it really easy to adjust.
Now that had a little bit of weight to it so they took it out on the Lite.
So the crotch buckle only has one slot, one location so that it's not going to adjust
and then also to adjust your harness you have to slip your finger into this slot to adjust
that strap.
It's really not too bad but it's pretty easy to find but it's not exposed like it was on
the original Pipa.
Now the last feature they took out of the Pipa Lite is the dream drape.
Now if you're not familiar with the classic Pipa it does have this extra fabric tucked
up in the canopy and you'll attach that to the front of the seat to give your baby extra
protection and reduce your need for an extra car seat canopy.
Now you're not going to get that in the Lite.
Now you do have a flip out visor and it's still a very generous canopy compared to others
on the market but you don't have the full dream drape.
Now both of them do have a SPF of 50 so they're still being protected by the sun.
Now also on the back of the classic Pipa you do have this little peek-a-boo window and
that as well is not on the Lite.
Now if this video doesn't address all your questions please let us know by commenting
below or sending us an email at hello@babycubby.com we are more than happy to answer questions
that we don't address here.
Now one of the biggest things or questions that we get with the Pipa Lite is, well is
it safe now because its so light?
Now they did change up a little bit of their safety features which I'm super happy about
and I might even lean a little bit more toward the Lite because of that feature.
Now the old Pipa uses EPS foam.
Now if you're not familiar EPS foam is a dense foam that's designed to actually break or
crumble in the event of a car accident absorbing that energy.
Now they do have, and it's kinda hard to see, they do have panels up here by the head of
that EPS foam.
Now they are smaller panels.
Now the upgrade they made with the Lite is using EPP foam.
Now the difference is EPP foam is again a dense foam but it's designed to compress and
bounce back when it's hit or in the event of a car accident, which is a more efficient
protection, but what they did which is a first in the industry or at least that I've seen
is what they've done is integrated it into the frame.
So these are fussed together but then they also offered more foam throughout the entire
lining of this seat.
And what that does is offer extra flexibility so that it's absorbing those crash forces
and diverting them away from your child.
So I absolutely love that safety feature.
Now one great feature of both seats is they are super compatible with many different stroller
brands including obviously Nuna, Uppababy, Bugaboo.
So they are going to be compatible with the exact same strollers using the exact same
adapters.
Now one improvement that they did make is to release it from most strollers you're going
to use these triggers right here pushing down on both of these at the same time.
That has always been something that's a little bit difficult for me and most parents.
Now with the Pipa Lite they changed it up a bit making it really easy as you can hear.
It's going to release that a lot easier and it's easier to tell if it's actually disconnected
so they actually improved that connectivity with those adapters in the Pipa Lite.
So another difference between the two seats is actually in the handle bar.
So they're both made out of aluminum but they did make the Lite a little bit thinner to
bring down that weight.
It also has this nice leatherette accessory handle bar so it's just a little bit nicer.
On the classic one it's going to be rubber, however that is offered in one of their limited
addition styles.
Now another difference is actually in the fabric.
So on your classic Pipa you have the nice polyester knit fabrics, they are soft, they're
beautiful, we love them but they did make an upgrade on the Lite where they used absolutely
no flame retardants in the fabric so they didn't have to add any chemicals so chemicals
are away from your baby which we love.
They are also a nice knit fabric they're very beautiful, super soft.
Ok another improvement that they made is actually in the infant inserts.
So on the Lite you actually get two separate inserts.
One is an infant support pillow including an infant wedge that will come out as your
baby grows but then a separate head piece.
The nice thing with that is you can kind of customize to fit your baby.
You might have a wider baby with a small head or you might have a really big head baby and
you can take this out sooner.
This is also memory foam for added comfort and energy absorption so that's really nice.
On the classic it's still nice, you do have that infant insert, but it is all one piece.
So it's all one piece you have to take it all out at the same time, you do still have
your wedge for little tiny infants, but it's all one piece so its not quite as customizable.
Now one little thing that they did add on the Lite is these little harness pockets,
now that's to hold your harness out of the way as you're putting your child in so you
don't loose those buckles underneath their bum.
You're not going to get that on the classic.
Now whats included in the two seats.
In the classic Pipa you're going to get your latch guides.
Now these are for easy installation in getting those latches into those lower anchors, you're
also going to get your base.
Which makes for super solid easy installation now this is one of the things that makes this
seat so safe.
You have your rigid latch and then you also have your load leg.
Both of these features make it a super safe installation and also easy.
Now with the Lite you're still going to get those latch guides.
You're also going to get that base, that super safe installation it's the exact same base
so those are interchangeable but then they added additional inserts.
Now these are GOTS certified organic cotton.
The nice thing about this is it's great for blowouts.
You have a blow out you can put in new inserts while your washing your original inserts.
Or if you prefer the organic cotton by your baby you can use these from the start.
Both colors of the Lite are going to have the same color inserts.
So you do get a little bit more for your money with the Lite.
Now the Pipa Lite is available in two colors.
So you can get the grey or Fog, which is this one or you can a black version which is Ebony,
and that retails for $349.
Now the original Pipa is available in 6 colors including a limited version which has that
leatherette handlebar and some other nice upgraded fabrics, these are going to retail
for $299 or for the limited edition $349.
Now you can purchase both of these seats or either one you probably don't need both..
but you can do that... (blooper beep) Now you can purchase either of these seats in
store or online at www.babycubby.com where we do price match and everything ships for
free.
Now we love doing these videos to help give you the information you need to make the right
buying decisions for your baby products.

New 2017 Nuna Pipa Lite | Infant Car Seat Review - Duration: 8:13.
We're so excited to announce that Pipa had a baby!
The Pipa Lite.
And just like it sounds, it's a lighter version of the Pipa.
In this video we're gonna show you the ins and outs and features of this seat so you
can decide if it's the right fit for your family.
Now the really cool thing is they managed to make the Nuna Pipa even lighter, which
is incredible.
So the new Pipa Lite weighs in at 5.3 lbs, and that doesn't include the canopy or the
inserts - but it does make it the lightest car seat on the market, which is amazing!
Now they didn't change their weight limits, so it's still 4 - 32 lbs, or 32 inches.
Most people are gonna stop using the seat at about a year because it gets too heavy,
but because the Lite is so light, you can probably even use it longer.
Now let's talk about safety first.
The Pipa Lite is going to come with the original Pipa base.
So this is a super solid - kind of intense - base.
It's very heavy, but let me show you why.
It offers some really cool safety features.
So it does have this "load leg" - there is a crumple zone in here, so it's gonna absorb
that energy.
This is gonna plant down on the bottom of the car in front of the seat so that forward
movement in the event of a car accident - it's going to slow that down and absorb that energy,
which is awesome!
Now it also has "rigid latch".
Now this is a true lock installation, that's what Nuna calls it, which is awesome.
This is gonna be 50% stronger than your typical latch with webbing.
Now inside here, you also have - it's steel reinforced frame.
So it's super solid, which is why it's heavy, but that's one of the things that's gonna
keep your seat solid and safe.
Now, in this seat, they offered memory foam in the head support.
This is gonna cradle your newborn as well as offer them extra comfort and energy absorption.
The really cool thing that they added in this seat is the use of EPP foam.
Now if you're not familiar, most car seats are actually made with EPS foam.
It typically has EPS foam handles within the frame
The awesome thing they did with this
Other seats have EPP foam as well
The difference between the two is EPS is designed to absorb that energy by crumpling or breaking.
EPP foam is designed to absorb that energy, squish, and then bounce back.
The really cool thing that they did with the Lite is they actually fused the EPP foam to
the frame.
So it's not panels that are just going to come out and get lost, it's gonna stay with
the frame but then it also offers more EPP foam throughout the frame.
It offers a lot of flexibility, as you can see, so in the event of a car accident, it's
going to absorb that energy and divert it around your baby instead of them feeling those
crash forces.
So this is an awesome feature, I love their execution of the EPP foam and it makes this
seat super safe.
Now if you have questions on how to install this base, you can refer to our other video,
our "How To" on the Pipa, and that'll show you how to install the base and get it done
right every time.
If you have more questions, leave us a comment below or send us an email at hello@babycubby.com.
Now let's get into some of those convenience features that make your life easier.
So, as we already talked about, super easy installation on that base.
You also have this bubble indicator that's gonna show you very clearly if it's at the
right level.
They also added in on the Lite these cool little buckle pockets.
Now this is gonna tuck away your buckle so that it stays out of the way when you're trying
to harness your child.
So that way you don't have to go fishing for that buckle when you're trying to harness
them in.
They also added in here two separate infant inserts.
So you have your head support and then you have your infant insert with the baby wedge.
The nice thing about that is you can take them out as you need to get a more customized
fit for your baby.
Now another thing is the additional latch guides that you get with your seat.
These are really cool, you're gonna insert these into your car to expose those lower
anchors to make it really easy for installation where your latch can just slip right in there.
Now the nice thing is the Nuna Pipa is one of the most compatible car seats on the market.
So you can get adaptors for most strollers including Nuna, UPPAbaby, Cybex, Bugaboo,
and Bumbleride.
So that's awesome that you can find the perfect stroller for you with use of the Pipa Lite.
Okay so let's go into the fabrics.
So an awesome thing that they did is they made these fabrics completely flame retardant
free.
So they didn't have to add in any chemicals to reach that flame retardant requirement.
Now as you can see, they're beautiful.
These are super soft, which is nice and cozy for your baby.
The canopies are really nice, they're UPF 50 so they're gonna protect your child from
the sun.
And they have this nice flip-out canopy for extra protection.
This is a really generous sized canopy.
Now it's offered in two different colors, so here you have fog, which is this beautiful
heathered gray, and then you have ebony - and this is a little bit of a heathered black
color, with your heathered gray insert.
Now what's included in you purchase, you get that true lock, super solid base.
You're gonna get your nifty latch guides for easy installation, and then you also get an
additional set of inserts.
Now these are GOTS certified organic cotton.
It's also just very convenient for those messy days when you have a blow out you can pull
out those inserts and while they're washing, you can put in your additional inserts - or
if you prefer the organic, you can use those from the get-go.
Now some things to consider with this seat.
Because it's so light, they did have to take off some features like a belt route.
So you cannot install this seat without the base!
So this isn't ideal for city dwellers who are going to use a taxi a lot since you would
have to take the base with you.
Also, that means that it's not FAA approved, which means you can't install it on an aircraft.
So that one really isn't a con for me because if they're in an infant seat, they're still
free to fly, and you're not gonna want to install it anyway, you will just have to check it.
Now they also have a rethread harness.
That's another feature that adds weight to a seat.
So you do have to rethread.
Now this only has to be done three times throughout the baby's life so it's not really a deal
breaker for me but it can be a little inconvenient.
K, here are the things that we love about this seat!
Obviously that it is so light-weight, especially when you add a baby in there, it can get pretty
heavy.
So I love that they started out with the super light weight.
Now I also love their execution of the EPP foam, and fusing that with the frame - it
just makes for an awesome energy-absorbing seat.
Now the installation and safety features are unparalleled.
They also offer these awesome fabrics that are super soft, they're beautiful, and the
separate inserts for customization was just really spot-on.
Now the Pipa Lite retails for $349.99. Now I am a CPS tech, so I know a lot about car seat installation.
