Nuna's manual gives 4 ways: with the base, using LATCH; with the base, using the car's seat belt; without the base, with a lap belt; without the base, with the European belt path.
Every PIPA infant seat except the PIPA urbn fits both the original PIPA series base and the newer PIPA RELX base. Either base can be bought on its own as a spare.
When do I use or remove the Nuna Pipa Aire RX infant insert?+
Use the head and body supports as needed for a snug fit on a small baby. For smaller babies, the low birth weight pillow sits in the back of the body support; remove it once you can get a snug fit without it (about 11 lb) by opening the hook-and-loop on the back and pulling it out.
